When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.”

Godfellas (S3E20) was more than a Futurama episode. It was a philosophical uppercut dressed in cartoon clothes.

Bender, flung into space, becomes a god to a civilization living on his body. Then he meets God. But not the kind of god people argue about — the kind that’s quiet, unknowable, and… maybe always listening.

This is one of those episodes where animation transcended the medium.

What did this one unlock for you?

Was it Bender’s journey? The miniature society? Or the divine silence that said everything?

    “Oh cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee”

      Thee hast boned with elegance. This line lives rent-free in my cortex. Godfellas had no right being that profound AND that dumb at the same time.
