Watching Futurama as a Star Trek fan

  Futurama is 30% Star Trek references, 50% real overcomplicated maths and language jokes, and 20% msg.

      The list of Bender’s claimed composition adds up to over 100%, so he can be a dubious source (episode codes in brackets):

      40% Zinc (1ACV13). 40% Titanium (2ACV03). 30% Iron (3ACV22), presumably mixed with osmium, (3ACV17). 40% Dolomite (4ACV07). 40% Lead (video game). 40% empty (s07e09) 40% back (s7e21 Assie come back) 0.04% Nickel impurity - (3ACV17 - A Pharaoh to Remember) There was also a claim that he was 40% chromium (not made by Bender but by someone else - 6ACV03). In addition to those, he’s also claimed to be 40% horseshoes (ITWGY), 40% Wire (7ACV03) and 40% scrap metal (6ACV23), either of which could be any of the above metals or something else.

    And just some ordinary water.

    “Yes, ordinary water, laced with nothing more than a few spoonfuls of LSD.”

  I like Enterprise. Just too bad they never got a finale…

    Enterprise was highly underrated. Especially in the later seasons.

    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.

  Believe it or not, the Nikelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show some fun Star Trek stuff in it. Leonardo's favorite show is called Space Heroes, which is a parody of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

      What he’s saying is we have a new source for memes. Excellent.
