I think they have a lot of the same writers
Only like 3-4 writers were on both shows. Not really many.
TIL Thanks
Ah, I thought most of them were the same, my bad.
I'd take Futurama's brainworms any day.
For real! Those worms are among the ... hell, they are the best!
I'm not so sure based on the recent follow up episode.
Wdym they had mites that made them useless. If you only had worms, you get buff and smart like Fry
Australia! Could please stop trying to kill people!
I am less scared of Australia evolving to kill people and more of the Australians that survive nature actively trying to kill them.
The Dutch fight the sea, the Australians fight earth itself.
The Scots fight other Scots
No. Because that would make us a hot version of Canada.
that picture is from Futurama
Simpsons writers
Hadn't Groening long since left the Simpsons writing room by the time Futurama started?
Excuse me, but they're called Matt Groening and David X Cohen. I'd rather you reference Futurama instead, because The Simpsons is zombified and not how they deserve to be remembered.
Futurama > The Simpsons
Don't at me with your steamed hams bullshit.
Also, Disenchantment was/is awesome as well.
Yeah, totally concede that Futurama is better and that Simpsons has really declined in quality.
Leave out the steamed hams, nothing to see here.
I couldn't get into Disenchanted, though I did try to stick it out through a good few episodes, just didn't click with me. Glad you enjoy it.
Downvoted for annoying title "touch grass". I've never been told "touch grass" in a single scenario that made sense and not to mention I likely spend more time outdoors than anyone who has wrote that to me.
This time it is actually funny as the way she probably got infected was by collecting grass

Also they probably got that worm by touching stuff, the right should be "wash your hands" or if you're cheery "lávese las manos" with a tiny picture of wizard Steve on it somewhere.
The lady that got the worms started showing symptoms after touching some grass while she was outside
Yo
Wait, I'm supposed to be checking my carpet for pythons?
So the eggs in the egg salad...
Correct! Worm eggs!
I think the earliest instance of "brain worms" I remember was from an episode of Invader Zim in 2001. Zim is offended at the concept of paying to ride a filthy, poorly maintained bus and shouts at the driver "Have you the brain worms?!"
Edit: found the video https://youtu.be/BiqTTozWNhA?si=bxNeTnreb77vdd00
Ahh yes, my worst nightmare
I'm pretty sure Simpsons writers first write and then unleash it in the world, not the other way around.
