Comics
The Futurama comic story Doctor What serves as a parody of Doctor Who. In the story, Professor Farnsworth invents a blue "porta-potty" which when flushed teleports those inside to a random place in space and time. The story also features a parody of the Daleks in the form of the Deacons, extremely religious aliens that scream "excommunicate!" and begin firing at the Planet Express crew upon discovering they are not members of Deacon religion and have committed blasphemy.

The comic story Tartar House Five features an appearance from every incarnation of the Doctor at the time of the comic's publishing in 2013. In the story, Dr. Zoidberg is sent back in time to the year 3000. Professor Farnsworth, believing Zoidberg to be acting "freaky-deaky" when he tells him of the events of 3013, seeks a doctor. One doctor, resembling the First Doctor, is unsure of Zoidberg's condition and states he would like a Second Doctor's thoughts. This second doctor then states he needs the opinions of a "few more doctors". The subsequent panels show doctors resembling each incarnation of the Doctor until finally the Eleventh Doctor diagnoses Zoidberg with "'s Syndrome", recognising that he has become unstuck in time.

Connections
John DiMaggio voices Bender and various other reoccurring characters in the series.

Frank Welker voices Nibbler and provides the vocal effects of various non-speaking characters.

Bumper Robinson originally voiced Dwight Conrad in his first two appearances.

Dan Castellaneta voices the Robot Devil.

The aforementioned comic book series was published in the UK by Titan Publishing Group.

The 1999 Futurama episode  shares similarities with the 2007 Doctor Who television story Voyage of the Damned. Both stories feature a starship called the Titanic which meets a disaster. In the Futurama story, the Titanic is sucked into a black hole. This is likely a coincidence rather than a deliberate reference by Doctor Who, as both stories were based on the real life.
