Farnsworth's catchphrase from Futurama, repeated throughout the show's run starting in 1999. He'd burst into a room, announce \"Good news, everyone!\" and then deliver something ranging from mildly inconvenient to catastrophically dangerous. The still shows Farnsworth in his white lab coat over a teal turtleneck, round glasses on his bald head, both hands raised in animated excitement. His lab in the background is cluttered with pipes, machinery, and a yellow-lit window. The joke is entirely structural: the cheerful delivery contradicts the terrible content. For other Futurama crew members in meme form, see Futurama Fry (uncertainty), Shut Up And Take My Money (reckless enthusiasm), Zoidberg Why Not (unwanted volunteering), Bender Blackjack And Hookers (spiteful independence), or Futurama Leela (skepticism).","format":"classic","howToMake":["The Professor is already mid-announcement.
