In Bender's Big Score, the calender which Fry is hanging, contains a picture of Family Guy. It offers "12 Laughs a Year" and is in the traditional calendar format. The title is in contrast to the "page a day" or "laugh a day" calendars that have information about each day on separate sheets of paper that are peeled off to reveal the next day.
In Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow, when Jrr tells Bender about a animated sitcom that came around the same time as Futurama, and features a family with a dimwitted father, Bender responds with: "Ah crap! That lame Simpsons rip-off again?".
The creator of Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane sang the song That Was Then (And This is Too) in the film Into the Wild Green Yonder, and also had a cameo in the Season 7 episode Game of Tones, voicing Fry's dog, Seymour, in a dream sequence, which explains why he sounds like Brian.
