It seems the creators of the simpsons & Futurama have a bit of a thing for VWs. I just bought the Season 3 Futurama DVDs & one episode focuses pretty heavily on a VW Bus (its drawn as a split/bay hybrid!) Also in the same episode a green flying New Beetle is seen in several scenes. (Much like the bug seen 400 times in the chase in Bullitt!!)

In the Simpsons, Marge's sisters drive a Thing. Pretty cool! They must know something of VW's to put a pretty obscure model like this in! I can also remember an episode where Nelson puts crap on a really tall guy driving a bug.

Anyone else think of any VW related moments in these shows??

Every episode of the Simpsons has a vw in it.

One that comes to mind is when Homer is re-united with his mum, at the end she get's picked up in a hippy painted splitty.:thumb

That was the Homer J Simpson episode wasn't it?? You're right though, it seems a VW pops up somewhere! Anyhoo, here's the Kombi from Futurama

It's because Matt Groening is a huge VW nut!

yep, hotrodmatt got it in one there

gotta love it tho havn't ya....

p.s homer j simpson episode, is that the one where he tries to find out what the j stands for and it turns out it stands for jay?

And who can forget the episode when Nelson laughs at the tall guy in the beetle

and the one on the schoolbus when the kids are playing punch bug (or whatever they call it???) and they go past a car yard full of beetles
