Futurama premiered in 1999, created by Matt Groening, and follows the Planet Express delivery crew in the 31st century. Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, the elderly owner voiced by Billy West, begins many episodes by entering the boardroom and announcing good news everyone, usually before assigning a dangerous job. The catchphrase became one of the show's most quoted lines and later spread online as a reaction and announcement meme. Its short length and instantly recognisable delivery keep it popular for ironic reveals long after the original episodes aired.
