I watched that episode for the first time just the other day. Definitely ruined because I expected the ending and I had the Futurama reference in mind.

I definitely think people should watch the Twilight Zone though. I watched the Outer Limits myself growing up but so many of these shows borrow from the Twilight Zone. It would also help some of my friends when we talk about Black Mirror and they're being like: "it's the first show that brought these types of ideas". I'm like, sigh ...

"You're entering a show that is slightly different from previous, very similar shows. What was once a creepy story about a book is now about an e-reader that's too greasy to hold. And that one phone call from the devil? Now it's a FaceTime call from the devil. The devil part didn't change. Prepare to see your unflattering reflection in…The Scary Mirror."
