Jokes seen on Simpsons and later on Futurama

[Reply #160 on:]

Both homer and Bender met god under similar circumstances could be a connection.

In "How Hermes requesitioned his groove back", after Hermes musical number, Zoidberg attempt to start up his own tune, but theres no music and he quits. I think this has been done on the simpsons, maybe more then once.

Something similar happened to Professor Frink at the end of 22 Short Films About Springfield, right?

[Reply #162 on:]

Yeah, those were similar jokes. 'Cept Frink was cut off because he was running late, whereas Zoidberg was cut off in an act of gratuitous cruelty. 

[Reply #163 on:]

Both "Bart After Dark" and "Large Marge" had a full-length song followed by an aborted attempt at a second song.

[Reply #164 on:]

this would be a good thread if people stopped nit-picking. we can all tell when someone is stretching...

plus people seem to be going out of their way to find references rather than actually noticing genuine ones. perhaps before people post here they can reflect on whether or not they have manufactured their reference.

some things mentioned here are brilliant btw

I think that The Simpsons has covered so many diverse topics, threads could be made on jokes made in The Simpsons and any show you care to mention.

[Reply #166 on:]

I could check the entire thread for thi, or I coul just go for it.

"The lever you have pulled, brakes, i not operational.  Please make a note of it." Marge vs. the Monorail

"The number you have dialed has crashed into a planet.  Please make a note of it." Amazon Women in the Mood.

in mars university gunter says hes going to lawschool. in the simpsons jimbo sats that to homer in the episode "Homer the Vigilante"

hooray iam a crustacean in less than 1 hour
hoorah hoorah for zoidberg

[Reply #168 on:]

Actually, Gunter said he was going to business school. But it's still a similar joke, so have a biscuit.

[Reply #169 on:]

We all know that numerous Futurama writers made cameos in "A Bicyclops Built for Two" and "I Dated a Robot" in the "on-line" scenes.  This is also something of a hold-over from the Simpsons, when the writers would appear as the writers on Itchy and Scratchy.

Out of curiousity, David X. Cohen claimed he appeared on the Simpsons, and was voiced by Harry Shearer.  When did he appear, and where?

[Reply #170 on:]

Probably as one of the I&S writers, but I'm not sure which episode.  Maybe "Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie," since that would have been from the right time period.

in the simpsons we see an episode where one of flanders son is floating down a river trapped in a basket flanders then prays and god saves him just like in godfellas where bender saves malachi's son

[Reply #172 on:]

Herman: Now we just wait for Zed to get here, and we can let the fun begin.

Zapp: Soliders, gag your mouths with these, then just wait until Zed gets here so the real party can begin!

[Reply #173 on:]

Retarded Robot, do you ever post anything aside from fake quotes?

[Reply #174 on:]

In the episode "The Last Temptation of Homer", Charlie, the nuclear plant's dangerous emmissions supervisor, is sucked up from Burn's office in a glass tube and spit out in a Hindu(?) temple in India.  Same basic concept as the tubes in Futurama (which they carefully introduced in the pilot and then more or less forgot about).

Here is not a _very_ exact copy, but I liked both jokes anyway:

BBA:
Fry: Wow, there's a million aliens. I've never seen anything so mind-blowing. Ooh, a reception table with muffins!

In simpsons, where Homer was helping Burns to play some bad jokes, something like:
This guy impressed me greatly, and I am not so easily impressed... Look! A blue car!

Which transfers into family guy as:
Chris: Wow I cant believe im actually here at(forgot name of studio),
OH MY GOD A WATER FOUNTAIN!!!!!!

That's for sure.  I don't have the names of the episodes in which they occured (too many years of Simpsons episodes to review), but Fry and Homer have both used the "Everyone thinks I'm stupid, but I proved them" line.  Not that I'm complaining, mind you; I think it's one of the funniest lines I've heard, and I always chuckle when I hear it.  That's one of the coolest things about The Simpsons & Futurama; both have (or had) great writers who write hilarious, intelligent jokes...

Yeah; poor Zoidberg.  He really does get slagged a lot...

In 'Simpsons Bible Stories'(Lisa's dream), Chief Wiggum tells Bart to scrub the toilets so clean he could eat off them, then tells him to hurry up because it's almost lunch time.

In 'Roswell That Ends Well', the General tells Enos to scrub the toilets so hard he could eat off of them, then says that he is planning to do so.

[Reply #178 on:]

hey yeah david x cohen did appear in the itcy & scratchy & poochy show he was wearing a squid shirt.

[Reply #179 on:]

theres the garbage ep. where leela, fry and bender go 2 plant the bomb on it and bender picks up a talking bart doll "eat my shorts" says the doll "ok" says bender and eats his shorts lol

[Reply #180 on:]

I see some similarity between the following:

Bart at St.Patrics day when he is pushing himself forward in the crowd with a green horn of some sort.
and:
Bender when he is pushing himself forward with that train-grill through that crowd on freedom day.

It might be hard to recognize now just be reading, but look at the scenes.

[Reply #181 on:]

Burns and Bender both use cow catchers to mauver or should I say plow through crowds.

Does Burns wear the cowcatcher like Bender, or does he make Smithers wear it?
 

[Reply #183 on:]

Mr.Burns put the cowcatcher on his car I think. When he needs to get though crowds of people on foot he uses a stun gun. Sorry but I forgot what episode or episodes these are from.

[Reply #184 on:]

mmh, love Burns and Bender. If i could be like Burns. I would . . Damn morals and feelings! :/

[Reply #185 on:]

It would be much more fun being bender, Burns is too physically frail to take real advantage of his wealth and influence, well in a fun way anyhow!

the same moral dilemas stands for me too though!

[Reply #186 on:]

Oh just remembered, there is this episode where Homer is a submarine captain, and fires off the real captain though the torpedo slot, just like benders gets fired away into the pirate ship in ep 320 (Godfellas).

Dont remember the name of the Simpson episode.

[Reply #187 on:]

"Simpson Tide"

Both the reason for the character being in the tube and the consequences on the rest of the episode differ, though.

I know these first two quotes are from years ago, but I like correcting things

Homer's Odyssey  [7G03]
Mr. Burns' sign in the front of his house:
"VISITORS WILL BE SHOT"

A Tale of Two Santas [3ACV03]
The roof of the docking bay of PE-
"TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT"

Also, both these episodes are the THIRD of the production season, and they contain singing (Marge + The Punch/Wine, The Elves Song). Anybody else notice these?

The "Simpsons" episode is actually 7G04 "There's No Disgrace Like Home", which is the 4th episode of the season, so that discredits the last paragraph of the post.

 

Originally posted by sheep555:
As above, I''m not sure if this is how the joke goes exactly but in Dead Putting Society, Homer tells Bart a story about "The Lion and Hercules" - which Homer gets the ending horribly wrong, and there's no good point at all.
In My Three Suns, Fry tells Leela the story of "The Octopus and the Grasshopper", again with no moral. I just thought the way they were delivered was kind of similar, as of the general structure.

It's in "Blood Feud", not "Dead Putting Society".

"Monty Can't Buy Me Love", which is my personal least favorite 'Simpsons' episode ever   . It's also the same episode that someone mentioned earlier in the thread, when Homer gets distracted by the blue car.
