  • Futurama Comics Issue #11
    In this issue there is story titled The Cure for the Common Clod in which Fry is exposed to the common cold virus while on a gangster planet. He then brings it back to earth where it wreaks havoc on the populace of New New York. While the effects of the cold are different in both stories the basic premise is essentially the same.
  • Obama appeared to work at Panucci's Pizza before Fry.
  • You see a satelite dish with the UPN logo on it when the crew land on the ice planet to cure the cold.
  • It's revealed that Zoidberg is allergic to Amy Wong's sweaty feet and that his nasal system is located in his four tentacles, which are covering his mouth.
  • During the"Guinea pig astronaut training" montage, the song playing is "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" by Starship.
  • The scene where Manhattan is covered in a dome, cut out, and removed from Earth is reminiscent of the novel Manhattan Transfer by John Stith.
  • The scene where the crew discovered the virus under ice buildup is reminiscent of the true story of Dr. Johan Hultin, a Swedish-American pathologist known for discovering tissues containing the 1918 influenza virus buried in the Alaskan permafrost.
