* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E18AnthologyOfInterestII Anthology of Interest II]]" Fry asks Professor Farnsworth's "[=What-If=]" machine what life would be like if things worked more like video game. One of the things that happens is a collection of aliens (including Liir) attack the planet in ships that look like the Space Invader ones. Fry volunteers to shoot them down since he's familiar with ''Space Invaders''. Unfortunately, he neglected to tell anyone he always fail to shoot the last alien, resulting in the ship landing on the planet.
