Believe it or not, the Nikelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show some fun Star Trek stuff in it. Leonardo's favorite show is called Space Heroes, which is a parody of Star Trek: The Animated Series.

Wow, really? Is this the new reboot?

In Star Trek, Spock started acting weird around his species' mating cycle (every 7 years, I think?) and the Enterprise had to travel to his home planet to resolve it. While there, he entered this sort of ritual combat thing with Kirk.

In Futurama, they did a direct parody of this storyline, but with Zoidberg instead of Spock, and he fought Fry. During the fight, they even included an old lady up in the booth playing the generic "combat music" from Star Trek on the organ. It's pretty great.

It looks like they also made it look Roman as a reference to Bread and Circuses.
