The line comes from Futurama, the animated science-fiction sitcom that premiered in 1999, where Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth regularly gathers his Planet Express crew with this optimistic greeting. In the show it usually precedes a dangerous mission or unwelcome assignment, a pattern fans quickly turned into a running joke. Clips of the phrase spread through YouTube compilations, meme pages and short-form video edits, where it now introduces ironic announcements. Its lasting appeal lies in that familiar setup, which audiences recognise instantly even without seeing the episode.
About this sound
The Good news, everyone line from Futurama, spoken by Professor Farnsworth with bright optimism. Creators use it for ironic announcements and meme intros.
This short clip captures Professor Farnsworth's signature greeting from Futurama, delivered in his shaky, elderly voice with an upbeat, almost gleeful tone that makes the announcement feel important. The phrase rises cheerfully at the end, as if something wonderful is about to happen, which is exactly why it lands so well in comedy. Viewers instantly recognise the setup from the show, where good news is almost always followed by something terrible, dangerous or absurd. That contrast creates an immediate laugh, turning a simple announcement into a punchline before the real news even arrives.
