* FranchiseOriginalSin: This episode is pretty much where Bender's {{Flanderization}} started. Originally, Bender took more than few cues from John Bender of ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' as they were both social outcasts with mean exteriors that longed for acceptance and friendship with some [[{{Troll}} Trollish]] tendencies. Here Bender is literally a complete sociopath that laughs at news reports of mass death, and needs the Emotion Chip to feel any kind of empathy for anyone (and in the end it's revealed to have been running on triple capacity and he was ''still'' a jerk through the whole thing).

Sure he wouldn't be scared anymore, but if he didn't care about Nibbler, why would he save him in the first place? Especially since Bender is a bit of a LazyBum and doesn't care about following directions. It also has the unintended side effect of Leela [[TookALevelInJerkass learning to be mean]].

* InformedWrongness: Bender's reason for lashing out at Nibbler was because an unattended can-opener nearly killed him, and as he implied, killed his father in the past. While Bender's behavior later was uncalled for, that can-opener was pretty much a deathtrap for robots.
