10 Best Futurama Guest Stars (Who Played Themselves)

9. Adam West And Burt Ward

Adam West is no stranger to voice overs for cartoons. He appeared as himself in the Simpsons way back in 1992, and of course was a recurring character on Family Guy for many years. It wasn't until 2013 however, that the Batman actor appeared in Futurama, and with him came his Robin, Burt Ward.

Leela and the Genestalk is one of the final episodes Futurama ever put out, and though it can't be considered one of its best, at least it had this fun little scene. As Fry and Bender are climbing up Leela's tentacles Rapunzel style, West and Ward appear from a window of the castle.

It's almost impressive just how many Batman and Robin references the two are able to cram into just a few seconds of screen time, from asking how dynamic a duo Fry and Bender are, to West referring to Ward as 'old chum'. Though it was a blink and you'll miss it appearance from the original dynamic duo, it was certainly the highlight of this episode.
