* {{Catapult}}: The Neanderthals attack Zapp's ship by catapulting a saber-toothed cat.

to:

* {{Catapult}}: The Neanderthals attack Zapp's ship by catapulting a saber-toothed cat.[[StealthPun cat]].
* ClothingDamage: A rare case of this being a plot point--part of the reason that the misunderstanding of Fry's body ending up in the sausage happened is because his clothes and some of his hair got shredded in the process.


Added DiffLines:

* ShownTheirWork: Despite the above mentioned ArtisticLicensePaleontology, the episode correctly portrays ''Homo neanderthalensis'' as being a separate species from ''Homo sapiens'' as opposed to a direct ancestor[[note]]There are some who believe ''H. neanderthalensis'' was actually a subspecies of ''H. sapiens'', but even then no scientist seriously considers one to be the ancestor of the other[[/note]]. It also portrays them as having been contemporary and in competition with ''H. sapiens'' back in prehistory, which is consistent with the fossil record.
