Everyone is just hating on AOTKA because everyone else is doing it.
Or perhaps people hate it because it sucked? Firstly, it was far too 2010 to be Futurama. I get that the underlying message is that nothing changes, but they could've made the point better. It was too much of a poke at things that are current now, but will fade over time and become less relevant. Also, the iPhone and Twitter are things which really irritate me personally. Secondly, it was a massive commercial for Apple, the iPhone, Twitter, and those really irritating "viral videos" which are already dated. It felt like less of a TV show and more some guy's "humourous" (note the quote marks) blog with a commercial sponsor. The jokes weren't funny, and were barely jokes. Thirdly, the boil's voice was annoying, the boil joke itself was annoying, and it messed with continuity. Where has the boil been 'till now? Where have the eyePhones gone, for that matter? Mr. Chunks and the pool were more of a Family Guy joke than anything else so far, and even Mom's evil plot to turn everybody into mindless consumer zombies wasn't funny enough to save the episode. It sucked. 3/10. It's not because other people hate it that people hate it, it's because it wasn't really Futurama as we have come to know it. It wasn't particularly smart, funny, or incisive in the same way as Proposition Infinity, for example, and it's definitely down there with Lobstertainment and Cryonic Woman as one of the worst offerings that the staff have come up with so far.
