In memory of the much-loved Futurama, which was killed off yet again last week, a new Team Fortress 2 movie has been created that recreates the show’s classic Robot Hell song & dance routine. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action.
The Legacy of Futurama
Futurama is an animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen. The show follows the adventures of a late-20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy named Fry, who is mistakenly frozen for one thousand years in a cryogenic chamber. Once defrosted, Fry finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century.
Futurama first hit our screens back in March 1999, quickly gaining a dedicated fanbase with its unique blend of humor, science fiction, and social commentary. The show was known for its clever writing, memorable characters, and its ability to tackle complex themes such as time travel, artificial intelligence, and the human condition, all while maintaining a comedic tone.
However, despite its popularity, Futurama has faced a tumultuous history. The series was first cancelled by Fox in 2003 after four seasons. Fans were devastated, but their passion for the show led to its revival by Comedy Central in 2008. Unfortunately, the revival was short-lived, and Comedy Central announced that Futurama would be axed once again, with its final episode airing on 4th September 2013 in the US.
Team Fortress 2 Tribute
In a heartfelt tribute to the beloved series, a new Team Fortress 2 movie has been created that recreates one of Futurama’s most iconic moments: the Robot Hell song & dance routine. This scene, originally featured in the episode “Hell Is Other Robots,” showcases the show’s unique blend of humor and musical talent. The Team Fortress 2 tribute captures the essence of the original scene, bringing it to life in a new and exciting way.
Team Fortress 2, a popular multiplayer first-person shooter game developed by Valve, has a vibrant community known for creating fan-made content. This tribute is a testament to the enduring impact of Futurama on its fans, who continue to celebrate the show in creative and innovative ways. The video has garnered significant attention online, with fans praising its accuracy and the effort put into recreating the beloved scene.
The tribute video not only serves as a reminder of Futurama’s lasting legacy but also highlights the strong connection between different fan communities.

Futurama’s influence extends beyond its original run, with references and homages appearing in various forms of media. The show’s unique blend of humor, science fiction, and heart continues to resonate with audiences, ensuring that its legacy will endure for years to come.
As we bid farewell to Futurama once again, it’s clear that the show’s impact will not be forgotten.
