Much like its sister showThe Simpsons,Futuramahas always been full of celebrity cameos, with many episodes featuring stars of all different types. Hulu’sFuturamarevival has continued this celebrity cameo trend, and while many of these have continued to be strange, season 12, episode 6 may be considered the strangest.
Futruama’s celebrity cameos have always been uniquely fun, as the show’s worldbuilding allows them to be pulled off in a unique way.

While this isn’t always the case, with stars likeCoolio voicing original characters like Kwanzaa-Bot, the disembodied heads have allowed for some pretty unique celebrity storylines.
