Futurama is pulling from a major storyline.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Futurama season 11, episode 5 tells another one of the show's many wacky sci-fi stories, but this narrative actually references a storyline from The Simpsons that hasn't been mentioned in 13 years. Futurama and The Simpsons have had plenty of connections throughout the years, with all kinds of references, Easter eggs, and interweaving storylines filling the two shows.
Futurama season 11, episode 5, "Related to Items You've Viewed" is a massive parody of the real-world company Amazon, with the episode following the Planet Express gang as they visit a satirical version of the company. After receiving an Alexa parody built by Futurama's villainous capitalist Mom, Fry, Leela, and Bender have to venture to one of the Momazon warehouses on the moon. However, Momazon soon begins to grow exponentially, causing all kinds of problems for the universe.
In 2007's The Simpsons Movie, Homer accidentally poisons Springfield's water supply, requiring the EPA to intervene. The EPA puts a massive glass dome over the town of Springfield, trapping all of its residents . It's hard to miss the parallels, with The Simpsons' EPA dome covering Springfield and Futurama's sentient Momazon dome covering New New York.
Futurama's Giant Dome May Be A Permanent Part Of The Show Although Futurama episodes tend to tell self-contained stories, Futurama season 11, episode 5's giant dome may be a permanent part of the show. By the end of the episode, the Momazon dome has grown so large that it covers the entire known universe. Professor Farnsworth confirms that the Momazon dome is still there, but it is so large that it is almost imperceptible.
A powerful company like Momazon repeating the dome trick from The Simpsons Movie actually makes sense because, in the universe of the show, it worked in the past. The story of the EPA using a massive dome to contain Springfield would undoubtedly be in the knowledge base of Momazon's powerful AI. So, it's possible that Momazon learned from this strategy, deciding to use the company's dome in order to gain even more power.
