The Simpsons mentioning futurama until the crossover episode

Bender is basically a robot version of Homer

@@brandoncolis3841I wouldnt say that. Fry and Bender both have traits similar to Homer but at the end of the day theyre different enough to be their own person.

It makes perfect sense actually. Because these guys live in the Simpsons. They wouldn’t know Matt Groening was the creator. Nor would it even make sense for him to be, therefore go through the process of creating the Simpsons, therefore making him unfamous until making Futurama.

Ironic that in Futurama he's always referred to as the Simpsons creator.

I never realized there was a crossover yet alone this many crossovers xD

[@TheKreature13666]

Out of curiosity, I decided to do some math for the first two clips in the video to determine when those episodes aired before Futurama's first premiere. For reference, Futurama aired on March 28th, 1999. The first clip shows Snake Jailbird holding a comb, featuring David Cohen's credit as Executive Producer with the gag "Watch Futurama." This comes from Season 10, Episode 4's Treehouse of Horror IX (9), which aired on October 29th, 1998, four months and thirty days before the series came out. Right after that, we have Üter Zörker (The German Boy) wearing a Futurama Shirt at a convention in Season 10, Episode 9's Mayored to the Mob, airing on December 20th, 1998, 3 months and 8 days before the show's release date. And just for fun, I also calculated the time between the two episodes, which is 1 month and 22 days apart.
