*'''Star Wars''' -the opening credits, the cripple on Aridis (a thinly disguised Darth Maul post Episode 1), the Clone Lord (half Darth Vader, half Napoleon), the Millenium Bug space ship, the Burger Bar on Aridis (much like the canteen on Tatooine), and the clone army are all reminiscent of Star Wars. | *'''Star Wars''' -the opening credits, the cripple on Aridis (a thinly disguised Darth Maul post Episode 1), the Clone Lord (half Darth Vader, half Napoleon), the Millenium Bug space ship, the Burger Bar on Aridis (much like the canteen on Tatooine), and the clone army are all reminiscent of Star Wars. | ||
*'''Futurama''' -Bonder the robot is very similar to Futurama's Bender, the Junk Monger on Aridis is reminiscent of Futurama's Morbo the Newscaster, and the mad scientist in charge of the clone laboratory has similar mannerisms to Professor Farnsworth. | *'''Futurama''' -Bonder the robot is very similar to Futurama's Bender, the Junk Monger on Aridis is reminiscent of Futurama's Morbo the Newscaster, and the mad scientist in charge of the clone laboratory has similar mannerisms to Professor Farnsworth. | ||

*'''Sesame Street''' -Oxar the Grunge is a parody of Oscar the Grouch, and the giant Canary on Marf is clearly a big Big Bird. One of the background scenes on planet Marf is the Sesame Street backdrop, except that 123 Sesame Street is in ruins and the jungle has grown up around it. The Eating Monster looks suspiciously like a very fat Cookie Monster. | *'''Sesame Street''' -Oxar the Grunge is a parody of Oscar the Grouch, and the giant Canary on Marf is clearly a big Big Bird.
