  In Star Trek, Spock started acting weird around his species’ mating cycle (every 7 years, I think?) and the Enterprise had to travel to his home planet to resolve it. While there, he entered this sort of ritual combat thing with Kirk.

  In Futurama, they did a direct parody of this storyline, but with Zoidberg instead of Spock, and he fought Fry. During the fight, they even included a lady up in the booth playing the generic “combat music” from Star Trek. It’s pretty great.

    It looks like they also made it look Roman as a reference to Bread and Circuses.
