| ==== Comics ====
| |
| The ''Futurama'' comic story ''[[W:c:futurama:Doctor What|Doctor What]]'' serves as a parody of ''Doctor Who''. In the story, Professor Farnsworth invents a blue "porta-potty" which when flushed teleports those inside to a random place in space and time. The story also features a parody of the [[Dalek]]s in the form of the Deacons, extremely [[religion|religious]] aliens that scream "[[excommunication|excommunicate]]!" and begin [[extermination|firing]] at the Planet Express crew upon discovering they are not members of Deacon religion and have committed [[blasphemy]].

| |
| The comic story ''[[W:c:futurama:Tartar House Five|Tartar House Five]]'' features an appearance from every incarnation of [[the Doctor]] at the time of the comic's publishing in [[2013 (releases)|2013]]. In the story, Dr. Zoidberg is sent back in time to the year 3000. Professor Farnsworth, believing Zoidberg to be acting "freaky-deaky" when he tells him of the events of 3013, seeks a doctor. One doctor, resembling the [[First Doctor]], is unsure of Zoidberg's condition and states he would like a [[Second Doctor]]'s thoughts. This second doctor then states he needs the opinions of a "few more doctors". The subsequent panels show doctors resembling each incarnation of the Doctor until finally the [[Eleventh Doctor]] diagnoses Zoidberg with "{{w|Kurt Vonnegut|Vonnegut}}'s Syndrome", recognising that he has become unstuck in time.

| The [[1999 (releases)|1999]] ''Futurama'' episode ''{{w|A Flight to Remember}}'' shares similarities with the [[2007 (releases)|2007]] ''Doctor Who'' television story ''[[Voyage of the Damned (TV story)|Voyage of the Damned]]''. Both stories feature a [[Titanic (spaceship)|starship called the ''Titanic'']] which meets a disaster. In the ''Futurama'' story, the ''Titanic'' is sucked into a [[black hole]]. This is likely a coincidence rather than a deliberate reference by ''Doctor Who'', as both stories were based on the real life {{w|Sinking of the Titanic|sinking of the RMS ''Titanic''}}.

| One of the main characters of ''Futurama'' is [[w:c:futurama:Turanga Leela|Turanga Leela]].
