It's a bit old, but my post in this thread still sums up my feelings on this subject pretty accurately, in fact it hits the bullseye.

I dunno, it seems that i like the episodes that make me cry more than the funny episodes but either is good.

As said before, the best episodes do both, but I would rather laugh hard than cry.

the best eps are emotional rollercoasters that give you it all.
but I prefer laughter.

I think that would be because one crys you are letting out emotion that you may have kept bottled up inside for a long time (maybe since your last cry), you also get something of an adrenaline rush. With all this feeling and emotion released you feel a little better. So crying is good, but I think overall laughing is better.

I prefer to laugh. With the exception of Luck Of The Fryrish, the emotion of the sadder episodes wears off after a while.

I love to laugh. Whenever there's a chance to laugh, I laugh. Let's face it, life is incredibly funny and ironic. So...I prefer to laugh, I guess, but some of my favorite episodes are the shippy, emotional, I'm-gonna-cry-now episodes like LOTF.

As much as I love Luck Of The Fryrish or Jurassic Bark, the funnier episodes are just really enjoyable to watch. In fact, it was War Is The H-Word (one of the funniest episodes ever, in my opinion) that got me obsessed with the show in the first place.
I'd say that I value the humour more, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy the emotional episodes too.

I agree Young_and_Angry. Even the serious episodes had very funny parts (ie Sting, Devils Hands, Jurassic Bark). And that is what's great aboot Futurama. It can be sad and emotional while stil being edgy and funny.

Futurama had the inate ability to be entertaining and still be able to be taken seriously. That's what I like about it. You can't take shows like Family Guy or Simpsons seriously because the characters themselves really only have 1 or 2 dimensions. Futurama had lots of complex characters with stories and personalities. And I think that's probably because they kept the cast limited.

There just as good as each other.
But if I had to choose it would be laughing.

I'm definately more about the episodes that make me laugh at the end. It's a good thing 99% of them end up that way.

But sometimes you cry during episodes because you feel some connection with the events and-or characters.

Well, emotional episodes stay in your mind and your heart. And they make you feel good..

Laughing. Futurama's a comedy, after all. That said, I do appreciate the genuinely emotional episodes, as long as they have some good laughs as well- Parasites Lost is a brilliant example.
