Futurama is nerdy

November 28th, 2007 - 6:34pm

We’re sitting here watching Futurama this evening (episode: The Honking), and the number of nerdy-type jokes in such a short amount of time forced me to blog about it.

One of the characters, “Tandy”, is wearing a t-shirt with the label “Euro TRaSh-80″, which refers to the TRS-80 (also our first computer). Later, one of the paintings in the haunted castle bears a painting of an ship’s captain, “Commodore LXIV” (Commodore 64 — also our second computer). Shortly after, evil writing on the wall is 1010011010 which, once translated from binary to decimal is “666″.

Very clever, very nerdy. Can’t believe I never noticed these small jokes before.
