In yet another future Simpsons episode, there is a very funny Futurama reference. When Bart and Homer crosses the Quantum Tunnel, they end up with Bender inside their car. In this scene, Bender says, "You will be my best friend..." Just like the way he says it to Fry in Futurama!
But Homer doesn't like Bender at all. He replies with "Screw you, loser!", and throws Bender out of the car. Bender crashes on the road and end up in bits and pieces. Poor Bender, it seems that only Fry is his best friend after all.
