It might be best to start with a subsection in Futurama, perhaps under Futurama#Humor, and build from there. The source list is looking promising for at least an expansion there.

In the animated science-fiction series Futurama many of the jokes involve math. This tendency has led to the show gaining a reputation as "The Geekiest Show on TV".[1] Math's prominence in the series stems from its creators and writers as Futurama is a show "made by geeks"[1] including many who have degrees in math related fields such as series creator David X. Cohen, who has a bachelor's degree in physics and a Master's degree in Computer Science;[1] writer Ken Keeler, who has a PhD in Applied Mathematics;[2] and J. Stewart Burns, who has a bachelors and masters degree in Mathematics.[3]
