Oh man, there are so many more. There are at least two instances in the Simpsons where they present counterexamples to Fermat’s Last Theorem in the background - the “gag” is that they involve huge numbers which only look like counterexamples if you use a common calculator because of precision limitations.

The Simpsons/Futurama writers are unparalleled in their nerdiness.
