* AmicableExes: Subverted with Leela and her ex Sean. While Leela doesn't have a problem with him, Sean clearly doesn't think too much of Leela, mostly bragging about himself, and apparently had told his wife that Leela was crazy and he dumped her though Leela assures it was mutual. Either way, they don't seem to be on friendly terms even many years after not seeing each other.

** When a mandrill starts hitting on Amy who is disguised as a marmoset, Gunther berates him for it and sarcastically dares him to show off his buttocks, and the mandrill does exactly that. While this seems like a JokeOfTheButt common in the BareBottomedMonkey trope, display of the rump is how many species of monkeys show sexual attraction. And yes, male mandrills do have blue-skinned buttocks.

* {{Jerkass}}: Leela's ex Sean really isn't a nice guy. He isn't respectful to Leela at all, such as disregarding when she talks about her life and is mostly involved with himself. He also picks a fight with Fry for a dollar reed and told his wife how Leela was crazy and he dumped her. His wife seems to be like this too in the way she talks to Leela. It's enough to really upset Leela but she is comforted when her current nice guy boyfriend brushes it off.
