10 Best Futurama Guest Stars (Who Played Themselves)

6. The Beastie Boys

Surviving as band to the year 3000, the Beastie Boys were still putting on shows in New New York and qualifying as ill, at least from a technical stand point.

Hell is Other Robots saw the band cameo before their amplifier got Bender hooked on electricity, and though they may not have had much screen time, it was one of the best guest appearances on the show.

Back in the year 2000, Fry had all five of their albums, but as they said themselves, that was a thousand years ago. Now they had seven. More brilliant self deprecating humour that Futurama seems to thrust upon their guest stars. They even gave a brilliant acapella version of Sabotage.

The only thing that would have made this cameo better is if all three of the band would have been there. However, since Adam Yauch was unavailable at the time, the show made do with both Ad-Rock and Mike D.

This standard nerd combines the looks of Shaggy with the brains of Scooby, has an unhealthy obsession with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is a firm believer that Alter Bridge are the greatest band in the world.
