This article is an attempt to list references to the show Futurama in popular culture, that means references outside of the show to the show itself, in alphabetic order by name of the popular culture referring to it.
Family Guy
- During the premiere skit in Family Guy's Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, a reporter on the red carpet asks Stewie Griffin if Fox has any plans to bring back Futurama. Family Guy and Futurama were both animated series on Fox which were cancelled and subsequently aired on Adult Swim; at the time of release Family Guy was scheduled to return but Futurama was not.
An Inconvenient Truth
- In An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore uses a scene from the episode Crimes of the Hot during his initial explanation of global warming. The Futurama cast and crew also made an animated faux-trailer for the film titled A Terrifying Message From Al Gore featuring Gore and Bender. Al Gore is a recurring guest star in Futurama, and he had said that Futurama is his favourite show.
Looney Tunes
- On the show Looney Tunes in the Daffy Duck episode Attack of the Drones, Dr. Zoidberg makes a cameo appearance.
Outer Orbit
- The Planet Express Ship appears in the Dark Horse Comics miniseries Outer Orbit.
The PJs
- In the show the PJs, Fry makes a cameo appearances on a wanted ad on a milk carton.
- This was an act of reciprocation for an advertisement of The PJs etched into a manhole cover in the episode I Second that Emotion.
Pluto Nash
- In the film Pluto Nash, the Futurama theme can be heard in some scenes on the moon.
The Simpsons
Matt Groening's other show, The Simpsons have made several references to Futurama.
- In the episode Future-Drama (even the title of the episode is a reference), Bender shows up briefly in Homer's new hover car, and utters You are my best friends, only for Homer to throw him out of the car again.
- In the couch gag in episode HOMR, the family is inserted via tubes (similar to the tubes seen around New New York), one of the tubes inserts Fry instead of Bart, only to be sucked up again, and being replaced by Bart.
