I couldn’t decide which was more awesome, the new Futurama trailer or PistolShrimps‘ “History of the World in 75 Seconds”, so you’re getting both. Let my lazy indecision be your gain. Futurama is returning to TV; the first episode airs Thursday, June 24th on Comedy Central.
The second video is from PistolShrimps, the guys behind the dinosaurs with lasers video posted here awhile back. It’s super-advanced. It also references a classic Albert Einstein quote, “I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Well, that’s depressing. I was hoping we’d have post apocalyptic giant mutated laser cats, or Dennis Hopper with an eyepatch fighting Kevin Costner who has gills and drinks his own pee because don’t we all?

Partybots seem fun.
First I saw that bit of Rebirth as leaked footage of the black and white animatic, then I see 5 seconds of the same footage in color, then I see the next 20 seconds of the same footage in pure white. What gives?
