Futurama Makes Ultima reference

[Scarst]

On the third episode of the newest season that aired tonight they have a goat with a head on both ends named Pukeme Poopyu, when I heard bender say it I was excited hehehe.

I don't think its an Ultima reference.

Probably not a Ultima reference, but the Futurama guys are a bunch of nerds so you never know.....

 

[Scarst]

My bad It was Fry who said it but yeah I guess it's not only Ultima.

Maybe I really have just been out of the loop for too long now ... but how is that an Ultima reference?

*ducks for cover for asking such a question*


oO?

yea futurama is a great show that shouldent of had that long break, but the item Scarst is refuring to is the 2 headed horse i belive named Pushme Pullyu Artie lvl 8

Pushme Pullyu is also a 2-headed critter in Dr. Doolittle also.

 

[MalagAste]

Pushme Pullyu is also a 2-headed critter in Dr. Doolittle also.

That's where I remember it from. Not the Dr. Doolittle that was done recently with Eddie Murphy but the really old one starring Rex Harrison.

<nods> Yuop ... me too. I can still see the critter in my minds eye.

There was a two headed horse in Ultima 6 called Pushme Pullyu.

REALLY... OLD... ONE... 1967...*sighs*

But... I remember watching the original movie at the Drive-In in my parent's station wagon with the brothers and sisters piled in... Saturday night, summer of 1968... theater popcorn... licorice candy...

It wasn't THAT long ago...

Futurama referenced Dr. Dolittle.

Ultima referenced Dr. Dolittle.

Futurama did not reference Ultima.

There is nothing to see here. Please move along.

Sure there is. While they didn't reference Ultima they did make reference to the birth of the World Wide Web, August 6th, 1991.
