In the uniform shop, the following uniforms are shown: the whole crew tries on stillsuits from Dune (1984), Fry is shown in a Red Shirt uniform from Star Trek (1966), Zoidberg is wearing a storm trooper uniform from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), Leela is wearing Jane Fonda's uniform from Barbarella (1968), Amy is wearing Edwina Carroll's uniform from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), and The Professor is wearing Sean Connery's "uniform" from Zardoz (1974)
The road sign on the way to the fox hunt says: "Highway jammed with broken heroes on a last-chance power drive." This is a lyric from Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run."

After trying to stop several instances of robot cruelty Bender gets applause in front of a "Mission Accomplished" banner. This seems like an obvious reference to President Bush's speech about his 'success' in the invasion of 2003 while aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln.
