What's even more infuriating is that a large portion of Family Guy's audience isn't old enough to get most of the references... and yet they laugh... but they don't even know why it's funny.
Now that annoys me VERY much. I am an early teen... huge fan of Futurama and The Simpsons... also a fan of the first three or four seasons of Family Guy. You know, when it was still hilarious? Anyway, I remember at the beginning of the last school year, we would have football practice, and the receivers would get in a group and wait to catch the ball, giving us time to talk. Y'know those obnoxious a-holes who are only friends with all of the other obnoxious a-holes who tend to be great at sports? I'm in a group with five of them. One last guy is my friend, and he watches FG too, but he realizes it's not the funniest show in the world and tries to get the references. They keep talking about Breakfast Club references and Ferris Bueller references and Home Alone references (I guess Family Guy writers are huge John Hughes fans), and they didn't even know what they were talking about. I told them, "C'mon guys... it's like twenty or less years ago, it won's be the end of the world if you watch one of these movies instead of Family Guy doing a blatant rip-off." and they reply with: "What does blatant mean?" I'm one of those teens who loves old movies... especially good ones. They're great, classic, and they laid the groundwork to all the films we know and love today. Same with TV Shows... The Simpsons isn't too old, but it laid the groundwork for all prime time animated sitcoms, and only Futurama seems to have picked up on that. We began on May 2nd, 2009
May 2nd? HOORAY! MY BIRTHDAY! *Looks around and notices that no one is there* Wha-? Awwww....

Bender was in the Family Guy episode "The Splendid Source" very briefly. No speaking, just him flailing his arms.

Also -besides the Bender cameo- when Peter endlessly waited to make up his mind, the background strongly reminded of Fry's 1000 years in the cryo tube).

The post you're quoting is almost 4 months old, stum.  I haven't watched Family Guy in YEARS, but didn't they do a plot aaaages ago where Chris had a talking pimple? Seems more like a case of Family Guy ripping itself off.
