Perhaps you are thinking of Bender's chest cavity, which is mentioned in the commentary. The 'why must i be a crustacian in love' ep, there is a room with a high tech black board, to my recolection its a once off room that was never used again. Also something else i picked up. In a Simpson's ep, (a newish one where the babies riot springerfield, which cause most of the ppl to turn against children so they destroy children things in the town, it also starts off with a Steve Irwin parody.) Anyways, magie crawls into a vent in the simpson house and homer tries to get her out with a coat hanger but he gets caught on it and starts turning around. He makes a 'Whoop, whoop' Zoidberg sound for a fair while. If anyone know what i'm talking about reply cuz it sounds almost like zoidberg, (although billy west is not mention in the credits and i think that it is just the voice of homer's interpretation of it.)

It's a reference to The Three Stooges, so it's more the two shows making references to a third, than reusing jokes. Plus if it's a newish episode (after 2000) it's more Simpsons copying Futurama, since Zoidberg have done the Curly sound since season 2.

I wasn't sure where to post this as there are too many simpsons threads.... Anyhoo, I just watched the simpson episode Missionary Impossible and at the end it had a scene in which Bender and other characters from most of the cartoons (except PJ's which is claymation) that FOX cancelled. The last time I saw this episode I wasn't really "into" or had heard of Futurama (I know I know ) and I was quite surprised at the blatant reference; it was like they purposely scrapped the end scene for the episode and chucked that in to get back at FOX for sticking so many good shows on hiatus. I must be well out of the loop! I mean, I remembered the episode but didn't see that coming!!

Another joke on both shows is that there apparently is an element called "Balonium"
Simpsons: Skinner: We can buy real Periodic Tables instead of these promotional ones from Oscar Meyer. Edna: Now who can tell me the atomic weight of balonium? Martin: Ooh, delicious! Edna: Correct, I would also accept Snacktacular.
Futurama: Cubert: "Your explanations are pure, weapons-grade balonium! It's all impossible!"
Any thoughts?

"A Pharroh to Remember" and Simsons "Treehouse of Horror (2?)" both have signs that read "Lose Weight Now, Ask Me How"

Here is not a _very_ exact copy, but I liked both jokes anyway:
BBA: Fry: Wow, there's a million aliens. I've never seen anything so mind-blowing. Ooh, a reception table with muffins!
In simpsons, where Homer was helping Burns to play some bad jokes, something like: This guy impressed me greatly, and I am not so easily impressed... Look! A blue car! I think I can draw an even better joke connection, take the same scene from Futurama and compare it to the B-Sharps episode in which Homer is in a room full of famous musicians. George Harrison walks up to Homer and Homer starts going crazy when he finds out that there are free brownies rather than caring, as he did before about the musicians.

Another similar joke i saw was when i was watching "Problem with Popplers". After Lrr ate Free Waterfall Jr. he got some of the "vibes" from the hippy that madfe him high.
Lrr:"My hands are HUGE. They can touch anything but themselves. Oh wait..."
Instantly, i was reminded of the Simpsons episode when Homer is hooked on Weed , when Otto and Homer are standing together after the concert looking at their hands.
Otto: "Ya know, they call em fingers, but i've never seen em fing. Oh wait..."

2day i was watching "Itchy, Scratchy, and Poochy" on the Simpsons and Homer asks if the cartoon is being broadcast live and the producer says something to the extent of it'd be a pretty bad strain on the animators drawing a live show.
Its similar to the intro subtitle on AOI 1 which says "Painstakenly Drawn before a Live Audience".

You poor, poor bastard. You missed one of the greatest series of all times. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work, being Secretary of Balloon Doggies is hard work.

although that' parodied of many movies, Tv shows before, but i thought it was worth pointing out. Which brings us back to Do.

I have a couple of points to make about ideas that first appeared in the Simpsons, then migrated to Futurama. These aren't jokes, just ideas.
- In the 6th season episode "Bart's Girlfriend", Lisa briefly fantasizes about the boy who works in the library. Oddly, he is dressed exactly like Fry (who is dressed like James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause, I know, I know). Red jacket, white T-shirt, and blue Jeans.
-For some reason, the robot Burns builds in "Treehouse of Horror II" bares a faint echo of Bender. To me, anyway.
-In the episode "Bart Gets Famous", we see the head of Kitty Carlisle (sp?) in a dream sequence. This is probably the genesis of head-in-a-jar technology.
Any others?
