When Leela says good shows get canceled sometimes two or three times, this is a direct in-joke to Fox canceling Futurama.
When Abner Doubledeal tells Leela the show is a hit, he compares it to a future version of SpongeBob SquarePants (1999) called "SpongeBot SquareBolts." Tom Kenny, who voices Abner Doubledeal, is the voice of SpongeBob.
