Meanwhile there is a whole generation that doesn't understand this joke

I never understood why Al acts like having sex with his hot wife is a chore. Boomers sure are different.

This episode aired 23 years ago.

It does also require a knowledge of the acting credits of Leela's voice actress, though.

That was one of Futurama's weaker episodes even if you understand the actor allusion. If you don't get the reference, a lot of screentime is spent on a couple of the characters behaving in slightly strange ways for no apparent reason.

Multiple generations.

Nonsense. Cultural history transferrence is a thing, I did not have to have watched Gilligan's Island or the Honeymooners to get the references in every 80s tv show, it became clear from the context and its own meta joke.

So no, just like a GenX-er did not need to have been a Baby Boomer to undestand the "One of these days Alice, Bang! Zoom! Straight to the moon!" reference, a Gen Z-er can quite easily get references about Gen X series from the frequency and context they encounter them.

I mean I am like 30+ and I didn't get this joke.

Only fans of Married with Children would ever get the joke. Plenty of people who grew up while it was running didn't necessarily see it though.

I'm 35 and got the joke

Wooooooooooooh

He's missing his hand down his pants but otherwise perfect

There's a joke?

Well, I now need rule34 of Leela as Peggy, specifically those clothes with the top pulled down.

Peggy was so hot!

I've been drawn to Futurama because of Katey Sagal. I'm a huge fan of MWC. Watched both of them dozens of times.

Hey Al....

Old McBundy had a farm EIEIO...

Ain't Katey Sagal the voice of Leela in Futurama?

tbh, still driving around looking for the punchline

I was absolutely blown when I discovered that Peggy and Leela are played by the same actress.

Show us your true form!

I had to explain it to my husband. :(
