Wasn't that Comedy Central show Futurama based on that old Fox show Futurama?

Today in a museum cafe, I passed a table where two gentlemen were sitting and I overheard just a single word of their conversation (a word which, once uttered, I could say caused a small explosion of amusement on my part): antiquing.

I saw a billboard saying "Call Paul" today, and my mind automatically read it as Claw-Plach.
Better Call Paul!

Earlier this week I walked into a Subway sandwich shop and saw a"Footlonger" promotional poster and was of course instantly reminded of Futurama. I attempted to locate an image on-line but a number of the results looked a little sketchy so I demurred. [edit] I found one, I found one!

The whole "head grafted onto someone's shoulder" thing isn't unique to Futurama, though. Hell, The Simpsons itself did it way back in season 3.

I was at a mini mall a few months ago, and one of the stores there had a Bender T-shirt in on display in the window. I'll have to remember to take a picture of it sometime.

I saw a guy with a Lars Bender kit on at a Target. Two references in one... Also last year, I was at a restaurant for pizza and it was pop quiz night. One of the questions was "What Futurama character is from Jamaica". I put Hermes in there (obviously; also put in Barbados Slim in there just to be safe ).

You expect people to know where a character is from a mostly-forgotten series?

There's a basketball player named "Channing Frye", also in NCAA Football 13 once, there was a head coach named "Philip Fry", and the names are generated.

I was watching the movie The World's End recently, and there's a moment where Simon Pegg lets out a high-pitched, "Whoop-whoop-whoop!", and on the commentary, he quips, "A little Zoidberg, there..."
