Futurama is full of Dune Easter eggs.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Futurama season 11, episode 4 is a massive parody of Dune, and here are all 10 of the episode's Easter eggs and references to the beloved franchise. Due to the deep lore and massive impact of Dune, Futurama has plenty of elements that it is able to homage in its parody episode. Some of these Dune jokes are obvious, while others are more subtle, only being picked up by fans of the franchise.
9 Glitter's Orange Eyes Side-Effect One of the side-effects of spice in the Dune franchise is that it gives its users blue eyes, something prominently features in the marketing for the Dune movies. The Fremen are the group most commonly associated with blue eyes, and Futurama makes sure to parody this. Futurama season 11's glitter also has a side-effect of changing eye color, but this time it turns the eyes of the Planet Express crew orange.
6 “Dune” Beetles The main inhabitants of Nibbler's litter box in Futurama season 11 are a band of dung beetles, with the bugs having created their own society populated with beetle monarchs and soldiers. Although the beetles do roll up dung, they explain that their name is pronounced in an interesting way. According to the beetles, the "g" in "dung" is silent according to their pronunciation.
4 Dune’s Disgusting Creatures Futurama season 11 introduces several species of creatures that populate Nibbler's litter box, and they're all pretty disgusting. This is another joke at the expense of Dune, as much of Dune's alien wildlife is pretty gross. Dune's fleshy, gross-looking desert dwellers do work as uncanny alien species, but that doesn't mean they're immune from Futurama's satire.
