History Fridge / Futurama

* Those darn katz becomes pretty dark when you realize that at the end Katz species most likely goes extinct due to their planet's turn coming to a halt and while sure [[WellIntentionedExtremist they did try to whipe out everyone on earth to save their planet]] I don't think deserved to have their species wiped out as a result.

* It's very possible Amy has had an eating disorder. Her father bullied her for being fat as a child, giving her body issues, and the second she swapped bodies with Leela, she went on a ridiculous binge-eating spree.

** Don't forget the bit from the second episode ("The Series Has Landed"), when Amy is struggling to retrieve the starship's keys from a claw machine. Bender tells Amy that manipulating the claw is "just like making love- "left, down, rotate 62 degrees, engage rotor", and Amy immediately snaps back "I ''know'' how to make love!". Oh, yeah- they're on the same sexual page.

** There's also a scene in the 4th season's "Love and Rocket", where Bender and Fry are ogling Amy washing the Planet Express ship (which recently gained a sexy female voice and entered into a relationship with Bender) while wearing a bikini. The suggestion is that the human Fry is enticed by Amy while Bender is aroused by the ship, but this could be a ''two-fer'' for Bender...

** it's the future, where it doesn't necessarily need to be profitable to be done, as long as it's interesting - the professor himself makes dozens of somewhat 'useless' inventions that are essentially because he felt like it and/or thought it was a good idea. Some random individual, perhaps wanting to live vicariously through Hedonism Bot, or just wanted a robot like that. After all, Roberto was deliberately made insane, yet it's not like that was really 'practical'.

*** it is possible that the facelessness only affects earth, there could still be aliens with sight.

** They said that just one can lay lots egg's so Mr Peppy presumably repopulated them.

** If the earth is destroyed without the gravitational pull it would probably just float into the sun.
*** That is not how orbital mechanics work. It would still be moving with the orbital speed of the Earth, so it would continue on in the orbit it was following before.
** Related: the threat of Hermes destroying the box containing Universe-1 was bad enough, but remember that the two Farnsworths had already created many other universe boxes in their attempt to find a replacement box for Universe-A/locate Zoidberg. If Hermes had thrown the Universe-1 Box into the Sun, he wouldn't have [[MikeNelsonDestroyerOfWorlds accidentally]] [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 destroyed just Universe-1]], but ''every'' [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX5 universe existing in a box within Universe-1]], [[RecursiveReality including the main universe due being in a box in Universe-1]]. And every boxed universe that Universe-1 is theoretically capable of interacting him, for that matter.

** Even if they did adopt her she wouldn't be going to a loving family, she'd be going to a {{Jerkass}} who wouldn't accept her unless she got surgery and he and Leela were obviously going to break up eventually she was better of without that family.

** Despite being mad at Fry being a robosexual in "I Dated A Robot", Bender hooks up with Luci Lui's head. Seems hypocritical on his end, but as his main complaint is Fry dating a robot specifically made to love him. Throughout the series Bender is frustrated at when robots are treated as tools and appliances rather than having full agency, so of course he'd be mad as he'd see it as something like that. [[DoubleStandard He also told Fry to "stay away from our women", but never said he was against a manbot and human woman dating]].

* Fry form an immediate attachment to Bender. Perhaps, this could be because his support system (until it was retconned that he got along very well with his family) consisted mostly of Mr Panucci. Bender sounds a lot like him (both are voiced by the same actor)
* The useless/ownerless robots struck me as odd until I saw ''The Bots and the Bees." If the robots can reproduce, who owns that offspring, and what is its direct purpose? Nobody and nothing. They have to get jobs and figure out what they're good for, just like biologicals.

* In [[VignetteEpisode "Anthology of Interest"]] the professor yells "take that everyone that's never won a Nobel prize, than includes you Amy" and she runs of crying. Amy is [[GeniusDitz studying for her PHD]] and it's taken her many years so it makes sense she took it harder than everybody else, [[KickTheDog he was rubbing in that she hasn't achieved her dream.]]

* In "Ghost in the Machines", the professor says that before Parade Day in New New York there was a parade everyday, and how dark those days were. Then it hit me: at every parade, streets get blocked off and some places close for the day. So with parades everyday, people probably can't get to work and lose their jobs over it.

** Except that Zoidburg's people mate en masses in the ocean and leave no visible indication of who is whose child. On the other hand, those that don't reproduce like Zoidburg's great-uncle are left around to identify who sired who.

* In "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz", Bender's interface resets to Human mode after Leela shoots him. Since hers is the first face he sees on waking up, this makes sense, because she's a mutant!

* In "The Series Has Landed," when Leela expresses concern that they'll freeze, Bender cracks, "Whaddya mean 'we,' mammal?" At this point Leela's biological species is unknown [[HumanAllAlong and presumed extraterrestrial]], but for someone as crude as Bender [[BoobsOfSteel her biological class is a no-brainer]].

* One of the Professor's catchphrase's is "Sweet Zombie Jesus!" In "When Aliens Attack" he mentions the second coming of Jesus, in which all videotapes from the 20th century were destroyed. Is it possible that the second coming involved Jesus coming back as a zombie?
* In "A Leela of her Own", we see that Leela has issues pitching in slurmsball: she can't get anywhere near the strike zone, and never fails to hit a player instead. But this makes absolute sense - as a cyclops, she wouldn't have proper depth perception, and this would affect her aim.

** Well, aside from the time when Farsnworth accidentally sprayed himself with fish pheromones...
