RE: Ice-Nine:
But who can forget Red Mage stuffing stuffing Kary (the Fiend of Fire) into his Bag of Holding, and casting Ice-9 on the universe inside the bag? 
Also, the article asks "how does a black disk go out of order?"
Ignoring the fact that it's not a disk, TMA-2 ("Big Brother", the monolith orbiting Jupiter) is destroyed along with TMA-0 and TMA-1 due to a computer virus in 3001: The Final Odyssey.

I saw an episode last night where they take Nibbler to the vet. In the waiting room is a robot with a pet Rust Monster straight out of the old AD&D Monster Manual...
6000+ levels gained and 8 level 50's

Gary Gygax episode: one of 3 mini-eps,The Un-Freeze of a Lifetime , in Anthology of Interest I
Probably others but those jumped straight to mind.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
The list may have missed a few things (like the Rust Monster) and it also doesn't include all of the crazy math jokes they shove into the background.
One of my favorites was a scene where Bender and Fry are in a bar, and they showed beer bottles on the back of the bar. There was a beer brand called "Klein Beer" on the top shelf, and it was in a Klein Bottle.
