The best way to stop an out-of-control vehicle is to hit something solid.

Like a planet.

Fortunately, most times you're in an out-of-control vehicle there's one nearby.

In the real world of the Hypnotoads & Hyperchickens universe, of course, Futurama doesn't exist. That's the premise of this entire comic, after all. But most of the other things we know and love (such as suicide booths) do, albeit modified by the lack of Futurama:

• Botballs is a serious documentary about student robotics competitions.
• Billy West is known (barely) for doing voiceovers for poorly selling computer games, but gains widespread fame after his appearance in the first Futurama movie.
• Katey Sagal is known primarily for her role in Married... With Children.
• Nerdy guys make YouTube videos of themselves tying bow ties instead of drinking simulated Slurm.
• Without the success of Futurama to spark interest in sci-fi animation, Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space was never revived with a movie and a new series, and remains an obscure short-running TV show.
• Æon Flux was never made into a film. Peter Chung fans never had it so good.
• The major animated science fiction background that pervades all of Western culture is ReBoot, despite it never being much good. The original film was remade recently into a new, updated television series with a bigger budget, high-tech computerised special effects, and edgy writing. And it sucked.
• Throughout the 3000s, all the greatest animated blockbuster TV series were educational children's shows.
• The Comic Irregulars exist and are making a screencap comic based on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Professor Farnsworth: Good news everyone! We're nearly at the air force base.
Leela: Uh, Professor, that's a no-fly zone.
Professor Farnsworth: Uhwha...?
Doctor Zoidberg: Oh nosa!
Leela: They'll shoot us down like space-flies!
Fry: To complete this quest we only need to get one party member into the zone, right?
Professor Farnsworth: We need a plan. Anyone? Jim?
Fry: Uh oh. I better strap myself in.
Leela: Good call.
Bender: Okay, aim for that rock outcrop.
Leela: Which side do you want to go around?
Bender: The middle! We need the ship to stop as suddenly as possible.
Leela: Wha—
[SFX]: CRASH!!!
[SFX]: Fling!!!
Bender: {flying through the air} Wait, we need to do it again! I forgot the detonator!
