minus-square@Pipocalink2•edit-211 months ago“They don’t think it be like it is, but it do” is originally a quote from a Yankees player, Oscar Gamble, about Yankees management in 1975. It’s a sensible, grammatical construction in his native dialect, but is well remembered mostly because it isn’t very sensible in SAE.
minus-square@Pipocalink1•edit-211 months agoAm I missing something? Ctrl-f on https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Futurama_episodes doesnt turn up an episode with that name, and googling “they don’t think it be like it is but it do Futurama” turns up nothing interesting.
minus-square@thorbotlink1•11 months agoHonestly I don’t know which episode but I 100% guarantee it’s in the show because that’s where I heard it first.

That is a neat tidbit! Thanks for sharing
As an aside, what Futurama episode did they quote him in?
I already did!
