Rush allusion in Futurama

[tplyons]

Had to laugh... Bender's on a desert island, rowing a wooden submarine back to New New York to wage war on technology.

"We're going to make an attack on technology worthy of being chronicled in an anthem by Rush!"

LOL

What is it with Adult Swim and Rush? Geddy was also mentioned in Aqua Teen Hunger Force

LOL. Gotta love those Rush references....

It would be very, very cool if Rush were to return the favour on the new album!

In one Futurama episode, I think it was with the 'What If' Machine, and video game characters along with aliens were taking over Earth. So Fry had to play Space Ivanders against the aliens and said he needed to listen to his 'all Rush mix tape'. Just another one for you.

Wow, I guess the nerds really are loved.

And then I think they play tom Sawyer...or some other rush song.

They played the pre-guitar solo riff whilst Fry blasted the Invaders and I rolled on the floor in joy and delight.

Not to mention the "BassFest" episode of Tom Goes To the Mayor and the "Jaco: Best bass player" slide.

Neil Peart is also supposedly having a cameo bit in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie.

They said it would come out in December......or March, but i think it will be coming out this september. Neal Peart i think is playing one of the main charactes and supposedly Bruce Campbell is in it. Also i swear i remember seeing that the music would be done by errr Phill Collins, but thats not on imdb anymore.

Oh yea its about the Aqua teens coming together and arguing over an immortal piece of excercise equipment.

New Futurama season coming out? (the sixth?) That would be really great been waiting so long for it...

 

[willygoncalves]

It's Saturday night, I have no date, a 2-litre bottle of Shasta, and my all Rush mix tape... Let's rock!

i know this is an old thread but I just saw this episode.

Brilliant episode!

I love Futurama. I now enjoy the allusions to various bands I hear in shows that I missed from before I didn't listen to them.
