Miscellany of Bender's Game

This article is about the trivia, the quotes, the references, etc. appearing in Bender's Game. It does not, however, include DVD information, character listings and cast information.

It is a separate article due to the fact that the amount of information to deal with in a trivia manner is huge when compared to a regular episode.

Character cameos

In opening sequence

General trivia

  • At the time this was being made, E. Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons & Dragons and a one time guest star of Futurama, had passed away. Although this being made is merely a coincidence.
  • The plot of there being a dark matter shortage, resulting in higher prices, most likely is a parallel to our current oil crisis, with gas prices going over $4 a gallon.

Allusions

Continuity

  • Somehow Free Waterfall Jr. makes an appearance as part of the Space Derby audience.
  • The scene where Leela finds Nibbler on Vergon 6 does not follow the same path as it does in Love's Labours Lost in Space. In the episode, Fry and Bender converse with Leela before Nibbler begins gnawing on the coconut. There is no time cut in the movie where these missing lines would fit.
