Random 8ACV04 Continuity Notes Because There Was So Much
"Tonight's winning number was approximately six" may be a reference to "today's winning lotto number was 4." from When Aliens Attack.
"Up here in the clouds, our technology makes us invincible, like the mighty X in Tic-Tac-Toe." - Zapp in Fun on a Bun. Fry and Zapp both think the secret to Tic-Tac-Toe is choosing X.
Bender does a play on words with human skin in this episode when he says "The dust is drying out my skin". He did a play on words with a human heart in Insane in the Mainframe ""You've got the heart of a robot. Just like inside me, I've got the heart of a human."
The Beast with a Billion backs also did a "it's a bird, it's a plane" joke.
Bender's grandfather is a pounder. He mentions his grandmother was a bulldozer in Beast with a Billion Backs. He mentioned his aunt was a screw in The Sting, but it was Leela's coma dream.
Farnsworth disagrees with something that he just said again, a very common gag.
"Neat" Bender catchphrase, ofc.
"My manwich" Hermes catchphrase, ofc.
In "Parasites Lost", the mayor of Fry's colon said his ancestors came over on the sandwich, so it probably is NOT the same worm since their lifespans were supposed to be very short.. or y'know, the writers maybe ignored that.
Farnsworth introduced the enlarging ray in "Anthology of Interest I", so the crew doesn't remember it because that didn't actually happen (but like the fing-longer, he must have invented it in real life, too). It also looked pretty different in that episode.
"You could end up permanently tasting colors". Fry tasted purple in "The Why of Fry", another episode where Nibbler is an important character.
Not really continuity related, but wouldn't it have been easier to just get some more sand from Eternium?
