The Matt Groening Theory

There are many people out there who like to think of the characters of The Simpsons and Futurama as co-existing in the same universe, little do they realise that they are actually correct!

First of all, after years of torment and failure, Sideshow Bob was tired of losing to The Simpsons, so he decided to team up with Mr. Burns for a scheme that could not possibly fail!

Mr. Burns lived happily with Mom from Futurama as husband and wife, which is why they are so alike. Anyhow, Sideshow Bob created a small bomb which he intended to use upon the Simpsons in order to end them once and for all. However, he used the wrong quantities and chemicals, so the bomb spread across the world and polluted it rather than destroying it. The pollution, however was so intense that it turned the humans of Earth yellow, except black people like Apu, as their skin is too dark to be affected. The worldwide pollution is what caused major concern in The Simpsons Movie. At this point, the pollution had only spread throughout Springfield, and the plot was to place a dome upon Springfield as to prevent the pollution from spreading elsewhere, alas this obviously failed, which is the real reason that Russ Cargill decided to destroy the dome.

At NASA, a group of scientists (i.e the Futurama characters minus Fry) believed that this pollution would wipe out the population of Earth, so they created a spaceship to escape, which is why they aren't yellow.

Leela is really a human, but the spaceship left Earth, just as the pollution spread and Leela was at the back of the ship, and she caught a tiny amount of the pollution, which malformed her eyes into just one eye, giving her the look of a cyclops.

Professor Farnsworth pioneered an extremely rare substance which he formed into a drug which he used upon himself and those on board the ship which gave them eternal life. However, Farnsworth used up all of the substance which was available, which is why he couldn't manufacture it for sale to others.

Anyhow, the crew waited for 1000 years before they heard news from Earth that it was safe to come back, so they did so and subsequently formed Planet Express, realising the power their ship contains.

The cryogenic freezer that Fry was stuck in actually protected him from pollution, which is why he didn't turn yellow. when he was unfrozen he met the Planet Express crew, knowing nothing of this story, only knowing that Farnsworth is actually Fry's distant nephew.

The Simpsons Game is also relevant to this story, as the game explains that Matt Groeing is God. This is indeed true, as his creations fused together and formed one world. However, just like the real God, Matt Groening does support his people, but will not intervene when his world is in jeopardy, as he leaves that up to his people.
