Futurama tells the story of a dim witted Fry, a delivery boy from the year 2000 who due to his obvious smarts manages to get himself frozen for 1000 years. When defrosted, he meets Bender, a reckless alcoholic robot and a strong one eyed woman, Leela. They all work for a mad and senile professor who sends them in dangerous missions  for the delivery company.

But besides delighting us with its plots and characters, the cartoon series has been a source of creative subtitles. In each and every episode’s trailer there was a very witty subtitle that described Matt Groening and David X’s sitcom. Some are related to the real life events that influenced the streaming of the episodes (See you on some other channel, Rebirth, Reincarnation were all related to the fact that the sitcom was moved from FOX to Comedy Central) while others are just plain funny and (Bigfoot’s choice, Beats a hard kick in the face, We’re following you, but not on Twitter).

The video below shows the first four season’s subtitles who are equally entertaining.
