The Simpsons logo

Futurama was created by Matt Groening, and developed jointly with David X. Cohen. Though, Groening had previously created The Simpsons, the most popular and long running animated sitcom ever. Thus, it is only natural that Futurama would include references to The Simpsons occasionally within the show (not to mention, owning the copyright means not having to license material). The Simpsons, too, has referenced Futurama many times. Following is a complete list of connections between Futurama and The Simpsons.

Other

Futurama in Simpsons

  • In Treehouse of Horror VII Lisa creates a civilization in a small bowl. When the civilization advances beyond our own, a similar tube system is shown throughout the tiny city.

Season 11

  • In the Simpsons episode "Missionary: Impossible", Bender is seen working for PBS.

Season 12

  • In the Simpsons episode "HOMR" the couch gag shows the family enter through tubes with Bart replaced by Fry only for Fry to be sucked up and replaced by Bart.

When the civilization advances beyond our own, a similar tube system is shown throughout the tiny city.
