“Brave Sir Robin ran away… bravely ran away away…When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.”
“Ouuuuch!”

Somebody yeet me back to DC in the 40's & 50's when it was just two Dads and their son having a good time.

I love watching early episodes of Futurama; the year 3000, and people still have VHS tapes and floppy disks. Because like, the world at the time only had barely a hint of of the digital tech around today, just 24 years later. So even when the people working on the futuristic sci-fi show were coming up with wacky nonsense, they also used what they were familiar with. Which was VHS tapes and floppy disks. There is some kind of irony in there, and maybe also a weird metaphor too, because I'm nostalgic for a show about a fictional future which also contained many retro references to media that came before it, and as I watched the show over the years, I saw it slowly include more and more "modern" facts of the real future, that was actually the present
I was a teenager when this show came out and I can assure you we already considered vhs and floppy disks to be dated. We were still using them but we were well into DVD's and CD's by then, and we already suspected those would only last so long before a new format would replace them. In fact we were sure disks of any sort would be completely replaced in maybe another decade, so it's funny that I'm still in a world making DVD and blu ray box sets.
They deliberately mixed every era of past and speculative tech into Futurama with no concern for any realistic progress because they found it funnier that way, and because civilization was completely rebooted while Fry was frozen anyway!
Fry canonically missed his world progressing for a several generations before an alien invasion sent us back to the dark ages, so everything you see of Earth society in Futurama is an eclectic mix of whatever survived that reset, whatever was rediscovered, and whatever was invented from scratch.
