>le athletic sports boys are actully mega geniuses
I really really hate this trope

>>213004014 (OP)
Youre a fucking retard

>>213005170
It was the least funny joke in the entire episode which goes to show you it’s a boring and tired trope.

yeah
I don't like sportsfags being in any tv or kino
sports causes brain damage and child abuse and should be illegal anyway

>>213005206
what fucking trope? name all of them

>>213005270
The
>sports jock is actually smart
trope

It’s a played out and unfunny trope.

Futurama is so fucking unfunny and shit. I would rather watch zombie Simpsons than that crap.

this series is the perfect amount of engagement, i wish society never advanced past groening.

It’s better than
>jock is an asshole
But you’re probably a nerd so this is why you’re mad jocks are portrayed better.

When I went to STEM uni, about 70% of the class were these giant ass buff motherfuckers who lifted, loved sportsball, drank more pussy juice than protein mix and were still very intelligent and about 30% of unwashed, socially inept, angry skeletons SEETHING at them. Now, 15 years later, almost all of that strata has trooned out and tries to scam virtue signalling fat bitches into sex with being "translesbians"

Nerds were and are gigantic fucking losers.

>>213006614
That isn’t what you described at all.
Cobb from AC isn’t a mega genius. The MC from Persona isn’t ackshually a hidden mega genius because they have to join a sports team. Jump off a cliff you actual autistic fucking dork.

The years haven't been kind to Joel McHale since they cancelled community. At least he still stays in shape.

Incredibly embarrassing.

the talking animal
the graceful fat
the smart bimbo
the floating castle
the exploding castle
the reluctant hero
the cross
the double cross
the triple cross
the false awakening

>le jock genius ooooooo

They were the Harlem globetrotters, anon. Hardly the first thing I think of when I think of “athletic”. Second, I think the joke is that it’s the Harlem globetrotters cause they used to make random appearances in like Scooby doo and Gillian’s island

>Hardly the first thing I think of when I think of “athletic”.
who gives a shit what the first thing you think of is. They are professional athletes and that’s what they’re known for.

>Second, I think the joke is that it’s the Harlem globetrotters cause they used to make random appearances in like Scooby doo and Gillian’s island
So you admit you never saw the episode? Then maybe don’t try to correct other people’s CORRECT interpretations of the show. Imbecile.

NBA hall of famer and fucker of over 1 million Wilt Chamberlain was much smarter than you, Chudcel

“Professional athletes” fuck off they’re a traveling side show gimmick who do basketball tricks. I have seen the multiple episodes that they show up in Futurama and they’re played as exaggerated genius’ on the same level as farnsworth. They come from a globetrotter planet and travel to earth in a globetrotter spaceship. Hardly a serious depection of the smart jock trope in my opinion. If you disagree that’s your prerogative.

>>213009359
>a traveling side show
No, not a sideshow. They are the main event. All pro sports teams travel btw.
>Hardly a serious depection of the smart jock trope in my opinion.
No shit it’s not a serious depiction. Futurama is a comedy. They meet up with the Planet Express Delivery crew because they were playing at Madison Cube Garden. The humor arises from the unexpected juxtaposition of professional athletes being highly intelligent.

Alright man.
