Yeah I feel the same about this OP. It wasn't a bad episode, but there's been a lot of times I've seen 'IF YOU DIDN'T CRY YOU HAVE NO SOUL' - which kind of made me feel more indifferent than before.

[(Anonymous)]

da

yeah, i thought it was so transparently and openly manipulative that it just didn't register

[mishey22]

How is something that is a bummer not sad?

I guess I don't split them from one another

[(Anonymous)]

Bummer = "that's rough, buddy."

[mishey22]

bummer = "that's sad, friend"

Regional difference, I suppose

[(Anonymous)]

It's a bummer when you miss your bus. It's sad when the bus hits a cat.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, it's also a bummer if the bus hits a cat.

This is definitely a regional difference

[(Anonymous)]

What region are you in? Because I've lived in multiple parts of the US plus 3 other countries, and in none of them would it be okay to tell someone whose cat died that it was a bummer.

[(Anonymous)]

If someone told me "That's a bummer" when my cat died, I would've punched them.

[(Anonymous)]

This. Bummer is like, "Well that kind of sucks, oh well, moving on."

+1

[(Anonymous)]

exactly this

+1

[(Anonymous)]

Totally synonymous for me

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

bummer, dude!

[(Anonymous)]

Even thinking about this episode makes me tear up still. That's just me though. Stuff like this is going to hit different people in different ways.

[philstar22]

This episode killed me, and I've never been able to rewatch it even knowing that later on the dog gets a better ending.

[(Anonymous)]

Wait, what? As a casual watcher of Futurama, I have to see this better ending for the dog.

[philstar22]

In one of the later seasons there is an episode where Fry travels to the past.

[(Anonymous)]

So in other words...sad?

[(Anonymous)]

I forget where I saw this-- with a group of friends, I think, so half-watching it-- and frankly was more surprised than sad given that we had some really goofy jokes (like the one about Dolemite) and then suddenly that ending. More of a "Did I just see what I thought I saw?"

[(Anonymous)]

I've never liked this episode. It doesn't make me sad exactly, just kinda pisses me off? I'm not sure why. I love my dogs, so it should've struck a chord with me, but it left me feeling annoyed.

[meadowphoenix]

I honestly don't know the distinction you're making. are the people above right and it's a depth of feeling issue?

OP here

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't realise people viewed bummer as a strong sad feeling. I meant that the episode didn't make me cry or emotional like the reactions I keep seeing. I literally didn't care about the dog.

Re: OP here

[(Anonymous)]

Bummer is an expression of disappointment, not sadness, and almost no one views “bummer” as a strong emotional response. Its just that all three people who do are in this thread. There’s a reason you can’t buy sympathy cards that say What a bummer :(

Re: OP here

I guess it's not a proper f!s submission if people don't get unnecessarily pedantic in the comments.
