The Funtendo Zii is a fictional console/parody of the Nintendo Wii which appears in [[Million Dollar Maybe]]. In the episode, [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] purchases it in a hardware store for the Retirement Home after observing [[Mr. Burns]] play two spoof games, one called Zii Sports (Wii Sports) and another unnamed game that takes place in World War Two (possibly a parody of Call of Duty: World at War). Lisa then takes the Zii back to the Retirement Home and sets it up for Grampa and the other residents, who are totally confused by the technology at first, but soon warm up to a game of virtual tennis. The residents eventually begin to feel younger and start bossing around the nurses, so they destroy the Zii by putting it in a dishwasher.
