The final shot also makes a cover of ''Famous Actor and Athlete Couple Illustrated'' magazine.

* IgnoredEpiphany: Zigzagged. Being Coilette teaches Bender a lesson about respecting women... until he's switched back to being a manbot, and goes right back to being a chauvanistic jerk... but some of the feelings for Calculon are still in there.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Calculon is mainly attracted to Coilette because she reminds him of him, and when she 'dies', Calculon's immediate focus is on ''his'' pain, and announces how he's going to make a dramatization of it solely to win an Oscar.
* JawDrop: The robots at the gender testing drop their jaws when seeing Coilette after the sex change.

* RobotAthlete: By the 31st-century, not only has the Olympics become an intergalactic competition that allows aliens to compete alongside humans, but it also allows robots to compete in it (in special robot-divisions).
* SecondLawOfGenderBending: Bender is such an AttentionWhore, he has zero problems with being a fembot sex symbol so long as he's famous. He only changes his mind when [[ThirdLawOfGenderBending the change starts making him more empathetic]], to the point of where he fakes the death of his female persona mostly to spare Calculon's feelings.

* TheWorfEffect: Bender toys with the idea of entering Olympic Bending as a manbot, but then he sees what the level of competition is for male robots. [[Recap/FuturamaS3E6BendlessLove Bender once bent an unbendable girder]], with help from a performance enhancer and damaging himself in the process. One competitor takes two unbendables stacked together, and with nothing more than a grunt of effort, turns them into a decorative weave.
