History Recap / FuturamaS7E8FunOnABun

'''Bender:''' Shut up! I said it first! [tears up sign]

* StockDinosaurs: Stock Prehistoric Mammals shown are woolly mammoths, woolly rhinoceroses, the giant ground sloth ''Megatherium'', the glyptodont ''Doedicurus'', and ''Macrauchenia''. Strangely, cave bears and ''Megaloceros'' aka Irish elk are absent, despite being set in Europe.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: While ''Doedicurus'' and ''Macrauchenia'' are considered [[StockDinosaurs stock prehistoric mammals]], they are not prolific by the likes of woolly mammoths or ground sloths. The token saber-toothed cat appears to be ''Machairodus'' (as it has a long tail and lives in Europe) rather than ''Smilodon''.

* AmnesiacLover: Leela undergoes literal LaserGuidedAmnesia after thinking she ate Fry, who was presumed to have fallen into a sausage maker. Fry however fell down a chasm, hitting his head, and discovered a hidden society of Neanderthals who assumed he was one of them because of his swollen forehead and natural stupidity. Fry eventually leads the Neanderthals to battle against the Homo Sapiens, and just has he and Leela are about to kill each other, they both regain their memories and unite the two species.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Fry. He leads an army of neanderthals against the humans at Oktoberfest and is successful. He even is able to hold his own in one on one combat against Leela.

* NoTechButHighTech: Zapp brannigan remarks that the Neanderthals attacking them don't have technology, despite most of said Neanderthals carrying clubs, spears, a cage on wheels to carry a giant sloth and (most [[JustForFun/{{Egregious}} egregiously]]) a catapult.
* NotEnoughToBury: Subverted. The crew think that a hot dog is all that is left of Fry, but they give it an open casket funeral anyway, [[RuleOfFunny complete with bun.]]

* IAteWhat: Leela thinks she ate Fry.

* HandyFeet: Fry dips and eats a tortilla chip with his feet, prompting Leela to call him out for it--but only because he double-dipped.

* AngstWhatAngst: Everyone gets over Fry's apparently violent "death" a lot quicker than Leela—''especially'' Bender, whose fault it would have been for letting him fall into the sausage grinder.
-->'''Bender:''' Well, what about ''my'' feelings? Fry was my best friend, and now he's dead! ''(bursts into sobs)''—[[ComedicSociopathy Nah, I'm just kidding. My pastor helped me through my grief.]] ''(walks off scat-singing)''
-->'''Hermes:''' Bender is a jerk, but he's right.

* SnobsVsSlobs: Everyone agrees in the end during a massive drunken party that the old style of Oktoberfest is more enjoyable than the new sophisticated version.

* SomethingElseAlsoRises: A reverse variant: Fry loses his forehead bump that makes him look like a Neanderthal when he and Leela recognize each other by suggesting that the blood that was packed in it "went somewhere else".

* AngstWhatAngst: Everyone gets over Fry's apparently violent "death" a lot quicker than Leela—''especially'' Bender, whose fault it would technically have been.

** Woolly mammoths are acknowledged as elephants rather than being separate from them. Particularly during TheLittleDetecto moment mentioned above.

** The machairodont or saber-toothed cat in the episode is based on the long-tailed ''Machairodus'', which did live in Europe, rather than the iconic (and strictly-American) ''Smilodon''. It is even properly referred to as a saber-toothed cat rather than a "saber-toothed ''tiger''". Also, it displays the correct attacking style of sabretooths when it subdues Zapp with its front paws.

** This is also one of the few works where a machairodont is identified not as a "saber-toothed tiger" but by the proper term "saber-toothed ''cat''".
