The episode Star Trash features a starship that resembles the USS Enterprise from Star Trek. When Felix and Pointdexter are trying to find a way in Felix says, "I saw this once in a movie" and beats against the hull of the ship and are then transported inside. In the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) the character Dr. Gillian played by Catherine Hicks does the same thing to get inside the space ship to find Kirk.
