I haven't seen the new episode, but this sounds like the same joke Futurama has made in both of its previous revivals. Bender's Big Score opened with the crew lamenting that the Box Network cancelled their delivery license. Rebirth opened with the crew noting the comedy in the random wormhole from the end of Into the Wild Green Yonder happening to be Earth's central channel for shipping. So this isn't entirely new to Futurama.
I haven't watched the latest Futurama, but from what I remember of its early seasons, isn't Futurama always like this? Or in general, any Matt Groening show?
Yes. It is always like this. The OP either missed the point of the previous seasons entirely or never watched them and chose to bag on a show for being 'meta' that has been that way since it began.
The entire eyePhone episode. Mom_santo_ corporation? Decision 3000? Futurama is more color commentary than anything else!
