History Recap / FuturamaS1E10AFlightToRemember

* AlmostKiss: Despite the fake kisses between Leela and Fry, the two almost share a genuine one, but are interrupted by the ''Titanic'' almost getting sucked into a black hole.

* DirtyCoward: Zapp Brannigan, being the arrogant fool that he is, decides to needlessly go off-course through a field of comets. To get away from the field of comets he flies the ship toward a black hole. After realizing he has doomed the ship he proclaims the captain must go down with his ship, then [[PromotedToScapeGoat promotes Kif to captain]] and takes an [[EscapePod escape pod]].

* IWantGrandkids: Amy's parents want her to breed with someone as soon as possible.

* BoyfriendBluff: Fry poses as Leela's fiance and Amy's boyfriend to fend off Zapp's advances and Amy's parents' meddling, respectively.

* FakeOutMakeOut: One between Leela and Fry to trick Zapp into thinking they're dating. Also one later between Amy and Fry to trick Amy's parents.

* OffTheRails: This ''Titanic'' journey was specifically planned to be straightforward and safe, unlike the original ''Titanic'' disaster, ...which again becomes a mirror of it due to Zapp getting bored and drastically changing the flight path which results in its destruction.

* RisingWaterRisingTension: Parodied -- Bender and the Countess panic when the room they're in starts flooding with water... and then when they're fully submerged they're reminded of the fact that they're robots and don't need to breathe.

* ThisIsReality: Fry tries to console Bender after the Countess is sucked into the black hole by saying that it's possible that she's still alive in another dimension and then asks the Professor to back him up on that. The Professor does, only to quietly tell Zoidberg that there's no chance and she's almost certainly dead.

* TemptingFate: No one sees any problems with naming a luxury cruise liner ''Titanic''. They even christen it by smashing Leonardo [=DiCaprio=]]'s head in a jar on the hull.

* RisingWaterRisingTension: Parodied -- Bender and the Countess panic when the room they're in starts flooding with water...and then when they're fully submerged they're reminded of the fact that they're robots and don't need to breathe.

** iZak the bartenderbot is both a reference to Isaac the bartender from ''Series/{{The Love Boat}}'', and the [=iMac=] computer, which had debuted the previous year.

* TakeThisJobAndShoveIt: Leela, Fry and Bender try to do this after narrowly escaping another delivery with their lives, though they change their mind when the Professor offers the trip.

* OffModel: A few shots of Zoidberg still have him drawn with teeth, despite the series having largely stopped doing that by this point.

''Filmed on Location''

* RepeatCut: Done to [[UpToEleven absurd lengths]] in the episode's ColdOpen when Farnsworth announces to the crew where they're going on company vacation.

* {{Homage}}: The episode is a retelling of the story of ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}''... [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]]

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Amy's parents fully support Kif and Amy getting together in this episode, while in later episodes they despise him and find him a poor fit for their daughter.

* AlmostKiss: Despite the fakes kisses between Leela and Fry, the two almost share a genuine one, but are interrupted by the Titanic almost getting sucked into a black hole.
* BenevolentBoss: Subverted: while the Professor does pay for the whole crew to come on the Titanic, it's only as a bribe so they don't report his "[[BadBoss countless violations of health, safety and minimum wage laws]]".

* DirtyCoward: Zapp Brannigan, being the arrogant fool that he is, decides to needlessly go off-course through a field of comets. To get away from the field of comets he flies the ship toward a black hole. After realizing he has doomed the ship he proclaims the captain must go down with his ship, then [[PromotedToScapeGoat promotes Kif to captain]], and takes an [[EscapePod escape pod]].
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Zoidberg gets to sleep in first class while Amy is sent to last class with Fry, Leela, and Bender. If this was a later episode Amy would probably have her own room and Zoidberg would probably sleep in the worst part of the ship -- or probably more likely Amy would swap rooms with Zoidberg, given that Amy's ruse with her dating Fry would quickly fall apart if she and her parents were on the same deck.

* LivingCrashPad: When the Countess de la Roca falls a story on the Titanic, a family breaks her fall. She apparently weighs two metric tons, so it's likely that [[BlackComedy they didn't get back up]].
* MomentKiller: The black hole that sucks up Titanic interrupts Fry & Leela's kiss.

* OffTheRails: This Titanic journey was specifically planned to be straightforward and safe, unlike the original Titanic disaster, ...which again becomes a mirror of it due to Zapp getting bored and drastically changing the flight path which results in its destruction.

* RealityEnsues:
