Futurama: 10 Character Fates Worse Than Death

10. Knowing Everything

Imagine if this was what your entire life was like. Imagine going through life already knowing every little thing that was about to happen, every would-be surprise around every corner, having every one of life's moments spoiled for you. This was Pickles' life.

Pickles was created by the New New York Police Department in order to see crimes in the future before they happened, allowing the likes of URL and Fry (when career chips apparently stopped existing) to apprehend the culprits before they even had the chance to break the law.
