I very nearly made a post about this earlier!
Futurama was blessed with writers with advanced degrees, and I think their approach to making science and mathematics based jokes was about perfect. In the situations where they're doing something that breaks a law of reality, they have some fun little explanation of how that's possible ("Scientists increased the speed of light..").
I think this is one of the raisins that I appreciate the show on a level all its own.
