How is Nixon's head preserved even though he was already dead in the 20th century?

I just don't think you're expected to be in it in the first place.

Because in this universe, he froze his head after his death?

It's like Doctor Who. All of time and space across the universe, but 90% of their adventures are in the same 150 year period in London.

Because they wouldn't have a show if they were referencing pop culture stuff from years that haven't even happened yet.

Anyone halfway famous is a head in a jar. Except Pauly Shore. So it's easy to remember people.

Well, would you understand references to the fictitious 30th century more than the 20th century? Yeah, some of that stuff is dated now, but I guess they had to do stuff to keep it anchored. It's weird seeing media come along before smart phones that didn't anticipate technology show all of these "futuristic" solutions in multiple devices that even at times seem primitive to what we currently have.

Oh yeah the CD disks are funny.

I also got a kick out of the "It's shareware" joke lol.

I guess I'm not a Futurama fan because I don't know how you'd guess the Beck episode from that single reference <_<.
