The first of a stream of DirectToVideo films that would hopefully revive ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Alien nudists take control of Planet Express through a series of Internet scams, and discover a paradox free method of time travel tattooed to Fry's ass. They use Bender, who has unintentionally downloaded an obedience virus, to go back in time and steal history's most valuable objects, as there's no time traveling method of him getting back to the present, and he can just wait it out for a few hundreds of years. Fry eventually uses the time code to get back to the 21st century after Leela begins dating an older and more mature man by the name of Lars Fillmore.

** Also, the characters all leave Earth without putting up a fight, but immediately come back and fight ''right after the scammers set up methods of defense''. It wouldn't be so bad if the scammers hadn't been ''wide in the open'' while the citizens of Earth were evacuating.

** Not just an IdiotBall, but OutOfCharacter as well. To wit : Since when do characters like Mom, Nixon, Robot Santa and their casually violent lawless ilk respect things like contracts? Usually, any of their solutions to a Gordian Knot is to vaporize the planet the knot is on.

* {{Cuckold}}: Hermes temporarily loses his body and has his head put in a jar. During this time, his wife Labarbara leaves him (along with their son) and goes back to her ex-husband, Barbados Slim, who is superior to Hermes in just about every possible way, including being {{Hunk}}ier, [[WomenPreferStrongMen more athletic]], and a better sexual partner. However, Labarbara later leaves Barbados again when Hermes helps save the world, and later episodes reveal that this situation is actually reversed for Barbados, who is jealous of Labarbara's pure affectionate love for Hermes.

** The time travel plot alone is very complex and hard to follow along with. It's made apparent that Fry created several alternate timelines as well, considering the flashbacks from the original series that depict his family acknowledging him going missing while in the movie, time-duplicate Fry, [[spoiler:aka Lars]], lives his life right where the original Fry left off.

!!Tropes present
* BattleTops: Chanukkah Zombie's space fighter shoots dreidels.
* BeardOfSorrow: Time duplicate Fry, [[spoiler: who is later revealed to be Lars Fillmore]], grows one.
* BigDamnMovie: Without a question.
* BrickJoke: Torgo's Executive Powder makes several appearances throughout the movie.
* ConcealingCanvas
* ContinuityPorn: Too many to name. As an example, one of the supposed alien invasions seen during Fry's cryogenic freezing was caused by Bender stealing a Swedish award for the alien scammers.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Free of network television handicaps, the writers were basically relying on self censoring.
* DumbBlonde: Totally ZigZagged for laughs. There's a sexy blonde female doctor whose entire joke is alternating between being a competent doctor offended by dumb blonde stereotypes to... well... being a dumb blonde
* EnemyMine: Everyone is forced to evacuate Earth to other planets by the scammer aliens, with the main characters taking up residence on Neptune. Unfortunately, they forget that Robot Santa is based there. It turns out that he's also been scammed, and Leela "convinces" him and his fellow holiday mascots to join forces and take out the scammers.
* FanDisservice: The Nudist Scammer Aliens. Especially when they exercise the PowerPerversionPotential of time travel. Urhuurgh.
* {{Fanservice}}: The first delivery that Planet Express must make once they're back on the air[[hottip:*:Yes, flying through the air in their mighty spaceship!]] is to the Nude Beach Planet
** Also, the secret to time travel is tattood onto Fry's ass if you're into that.
* ForWantOfANail: Fry, now back to the 20th century, uses the code to go back in time a few more minutes to eat the pizza he was supposed to deliver. This minor event resulted in [[spoiler: creating a time duplicate of Fry who eventually became Lars]].
* HelloNurse: Dr. Cahill.
* FutureBadass: [[spoiler:Lars Fillmore]]. Not actually a {{Badass}}, nor technically from the future, but he is a look at a much, much more mature version of a present-day character.
* HistoricalInJoke: George W. Bush winning the 2000 election.
* IdiotBall: No characters are safe from the nudist scammers. None.
** Also, the characters all leave Earth without putting up a fight, but immediately come back and fight ''right after the scammers set up methods of defense''. It wouldn't be so bad if the scammers hadn't been ''wide in the open'' while the citizens of Earth were evacuating.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The entire opening sequence.
-->'''Leela:''' ''(surrounded by electrical fans)'' So what does this mean for us and our many fans?
-->'''Farnsworth:''' It means we're back on the air! Yes, flying through the air in our mighty spaceship!
* LosingYourHead: Aside from the reappearance of heads in jars, Hermes gets his head chopped off within the first five minutes of the movie.
* MisfitMobilizationMoment: This happens in the climactic battle against the scammers when Hermes' head is plugged directly into the battlegrid. Cue ThemeMusicPowerUp and much ass-kicking.
* PottyDance: Strangley enough, this happens to Bender for the first time ever. He even [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] over the lunacy of the situation.
* SequelHook: The movie ends at sort of a cliffhanger, and though ''[[Recap/FuturamaM2TheBeastWithABillionBacks Beast With a Billion Backs]]'' supposedly picks up where it left off, it doesn't really get a lot of its material from this movie, and hardly acknowledges its events.
* StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler: The origin of the time code]].
* TakeThat: An almost heroically extended one. Apparently the morons who cancelled Planet Express's delivery liscense were fired, beaten up, killed, and ground into a pink powder that's used in humiliating ways for the rest of the movie.
* TimePassesMontage: There's sort of one with time-duplicate Fry living the life he left behind after getting frozen. There's also a nod to the Seymour one from ''"[[Recap/FuturamaS4E7JurassicBark Jurassic Bark]]"''.
* TimeTravel: Obviously.
* TimeyWimeyBall: The time code tattooed to Fry's ass in the shape of Bender's head can be used to summon one.
* ZipMeUp: With Hermes and [=LeBarbara=] at Leela and Lars's wedding.
