* TrappedByMountainLions: Fry and Leela's sub-plot in the latter stages of the episode has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the story, and doesn't even have any real jokes aside from a rather bizarre TakeThat at Creator/SylvesterStallone, and a few about the Los Angeles subway system that'll be pretty meaningless to anyone who doesn't actually live there. While it only takes up about three minutes of screentime -- still a pretty significant amount when you consider that ''Futurama'' episodes are less than 25 minutes long without adverts -- it, along with the episode's tone being seen as too self-congratulatory, is usually the main reason for this being one of two episodes (the other being "A Leela of Her Own") that are usually considered the worst of the show's original run.

* HilariousInHindsight: After Zoidberg reads out Calculon's name in place of the actual fifth nominee, two Academy clerks off-stage react with alarm, but decide to keep quiet "like with [[Film/MyCousinVinny Marisa Tomei]]". Tomei's supposedly winning an Oscar because of presenter Jack Palance being too drunk to remember the actual winner and the Academy being too proud to admit that any mistake could happen in the ceremony was already proven to be an urban myth, but the colossal screw-up that saw ''Film/LaLaLand'' mistakenly named as Best Picture winner instead of ''[[Film/Moonlight2016 Moonlight]]'' in 2017 proved once and for all that the Academy in fact does ''not'' keep quiet when something goes wrong.
