What you don’t notice in the presidential suite in Futurama

During those pivotal shots in the Presidential Hall, eagle-eyed “Futurama” fans may have noticed something odd about the heads lined up in the background. For some strange reason, there are two cases President Grover Cleveland. Even more bizarre was the fact that the two Clevelands weren’t even next to each other. Of course, it could be a mistake, but given that TV animators can spend hours on a single scene and may have come across something similar, this seems unlikely. , especially because it happens in two different episodes (“Space Pilot 3000” and “All Presidential Heads”).

The truth is this is a little joke for all the history nerds out there. It alludes to the fact that Grover Cleveland is (so far) the only president in US history to serve two non-consecutive terms. Apparently, serving this way earns you two immortal heads in the world of “Futurama.” Based on White House official websiteCleveland was the country’s 22nd and 24th President, serving one term in 1885 and another in 1893 after Benjamin Harrison defeated him in the 1889 election.

That’s not the only little historical joke “Futurama” has been hiding. The series is full background references for all kinds of topics, from popular culture to math and science. However, if the president’s easter egg goes that far, it could be the best movie ever.
