Sure seemed funny at the time

In the third season Futurama episode Time keeps on slippin',
when the Planet Express crew removes the mutants from harvesting, they tip the Time/Space Continuum, causing forward motion of time to skip ahead


One manifestation of these random time skips comes as the PE staff is watching a news broadcast. TV newswoman Linda reports:
Linda: [on TV] Turning to entertainment news, teen singer Wendy [and we see a picture that is an obvious reference to Britney Spears' first album] might just be the latest--

[Time skips.]

Linda: [on TV] --won three Grammys last night--

[Time skips. The picture of Wendy behind her has a "2984-3002" caption below it.]

Linda: [on TV] --found dead in her bathtub.
