Futurama vs. Doctor Who
Yay! Picspam again! Another example of how much two shows that have nothing to do with each other can still feel and look the same. Also I was drunk when I spotted the connections.
So, you ask how can you compare an animated show like Futurama with something like Doctor Who? Well, as I'll show you, there are some striking similarities. I sometimes wonder if the writers of both shows are smoking the same thing. It's time for the ultimate comparison! I'd like to add that there's still so much more these shows are sharing, but I had to stop at some point. If you think I missed something, tell me and I'll add it.

If you don't know Futurama where have you been?! go and check it out, it's so worth it. The pictures should speak for themselves, even if you don't know the show.

Vague spoilers for everything we've seen for Futurama, Doctor Who season 2 and Torchwood (hey, it's set in the Whoniverse after all). Screencaps taken from Time and Space for Doctor Who/Torchwood and from Futurama Madhouse for Futurama.





So, meet some of the main characters


Fry. Human, Delivery Boy from the year 2000, got frozen accidently, woke up in the year 3000. Messy hair, due to sometimes drying it in space ship exhaust fumes. Talks nonsense most of the time. It's not his fault, he's just not very clever. Not rude and ginger.
The Doctor. 900 year old Time Lord. Bad Hair Regeneration. Talks a lot of nonsense/technobabble. Also, he can kill you with his brain. Who wins.



Both pass the Spock test. Tie.



Leela. Alien/Mutant. Has trouble with depth perception. Knows karate, will kick your ass if you make jokes about her nose.
Martha, doctor-in-training from London. Clever, but no karate. Futurama wins.



Zoidberg vs. the Ood, or: "I took the liberty of fertilizing your caviar." vs. "Would you like sauce with that?" Futurama wins. Woopwoopwoop!



Zap Brannigan vs. Captain Jack Harkness. Both suffer from a very sexy learning disability: Sexlexia. "Kiff, I've made it with a woman. Inform the men." vs. "Woke up in bed with both my executioners". Who wins.



Kiff vs. Ianto. Both have to deal with annoying captains. Kiff sighs a lot and hates his boss with a vengeance (but you gotta do what you gotta do). Ianto makes a mean cup of coffee and secretly loves his boss. Who wins.



Bender vs. Cybermen. Both want to kill all the humans, if both drink large amounts of alcohol remains unsure. Both have a shiny metal ass. Tie.

Places to be


New New York vs. New¹⁵ York. New New York still has ruins of Old New York as it is built on the same spot. Futurama wins.


Monsters and villains


"You may have to make a metaphorical deal with the devil. And by 'devil', I mean Robot Devil. And by 'metaphorical', I mean get your coat."
Robot Devil vs. Evil From the Dawn of Time. Robot Devil can sing and dance and has a golden violin, Evil From the Dawn of Time is chained to a planet. Futurama wins.



Werecar vs. Werewolf, Computer Virus vs. Alien Virus. Who wins for the more convincing (and not honking) monster.



Space Bee Queen vs. Racknoss. One communicates by dancing and sips Royal Jelly, the other tries to destroy the Earth. Who wins.



"You better watch out, You better run fast, You better duck down, I'm telling you why. Santa Claus is gunning you down." Both bring explosive presents and turn up regulary on Christmas. Tie.


Some UST


Watching Earthlight. Tie.



CPR works both times. The Doctor carried Martha to a window, Fry coughed up a Valentine sweet saying 'U leave me breathless'. Futurama wins.



Some more


Black Holes and Revelations.



Alternate Dimensions.



Fiddling with screwdrivers.



Space suits.


Don't pretend it's not true!


Overall: Tie between the two shows, which is fine because they are both cracktastic and unique in their own ways. Now who writes that crossover fic for me? ^^



Or am I seeing things again?
