Futurama was created by Matt Groening, and developed jointly with David X. Cohen. Groening had previously created the Simpsons, and Cohen was a writer for the show. Thus, it is only natural that they would include references to the Simpsons occasionally within Futurama (not to mention, owning the copyright means not having to license material).
The Simpsons, too, has referenced Futurama several times.
Following is a complete list of connections between Futurama and the Simpsons.
Voice Actors
Several actors have been on both Futurama and the Simpsons.
- Dan Castellaneta, who plays Homer Simpson (among others) on the Simpsons, played the Robot Devil on Futurama
- Nancy Cartwright was credited for a soundbyte of Bart Simpson's line "Eat my shorts, man!" which was said by a doll on the garbage meteor in A Big Piece of Garbage
- Stephen Hawking has appeared on both shows, playing himself.
Characters
Occasionally, a character makes the jump between shows for a brief cameo:
- The Bart Simpson dolls on the garbage meteor on Futurama
- Bart and Homer dolls as prizes near Coney Island College on Futurama
- Pieces of a Bart Simpson balloon used in the construction of a hot-air balloon in the sewer on Futurama
- Bender appeared in the Simpsons episode "Future-Drama"—an obvious reference to the title of Futurama itself
- Blinky the Three-Eyed Fish from the Simpsons appears in Space Pilot 3000
