      Leela’s voice actress played Peggy Bundy on Married with Children. Ed O’Neill played Al Bundy and is playing the shape shifter pretending to be one of Leela’s supposed alien race (she’s not an alien, but she didn’t know that yet then). They are re-enacting the look and dynamic of Married with Children in this scene.

      EDIT: I was mistaken, the voice actor is not Ed O’Niell, as kindly pointed out below.

        Is that Ed O’Neill? Shit I never made that connection, he sounds way different.

        Futurama, Modern Family, Wayne’s World. Guy is an American national treasure.

          It was not Ed O’Neill. He was voiced by David Herman, who also voiced Scruffy and Leela’s father.

            Oh, thanks for the correction. I thought that was the Joke but it was just Leela doing Peg again then.

              To my knowledge, Ed O’Neill has never voiced in a Simpsons or Futurama episode. Which seems kinda weird since he was a fellow Fox alumni.
