The Simpsons is a popular animated situation comedy of the late 20th century and early 21st century created by Matt Groening. The Simpsons' characters remained popular even in the 31st century.
Some characters of The Simpsons make background appearances in episodes of Futurama and in return, Futurama has appearances on The Simpsons.

- Dan Castellaneta, the voice of Homer and others, is the voice of the Robot Devil.

- In Leela's Homeworld, the balloon has a picture of Bart's ear and shin.
- The opening subtitle of "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?" is From the network that brought you The Simpsons.
- In the episode Jurrasic Bark, Fry's dog, Seymour goes to the local minigolf course in search of Fry. The gate of the minigolf course has a sign saying "The hole with the miniture windmill is closed until further notice due to someone being inconsiderate and creating an unsanitary condition." This is a reference to the Simpsons episode "Natural Born Kissers".
