History Awesome / Futurama

* Bender gets a major one in ''Ghost in the Machines'', in which, as a ghost, [[spoiler:he possesses the Robot Devil, and crushes him underneath a rolling sphere, all in an attempt to save Fry from his death. Even if the Robot Devil lived, doing something as awesome as possessing the devil and then [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu killing yourself while inside the devil's body]] is pretty epic and a monumental feat]].

** And when it gets to the point where Farnsworth can't name another hominid, he actually ''goes out and discovers it.'' Granted, Dr. Banjo then undermines him, but still, not bad for the Professor.

-->'''Bender''': "Granted, it's not on the list of approved bendables. But [[ThisIsSPARTA I'm...so...GREAT!"]]

-->'''Parasite King:''' He's bluffing! No being would ever willingly destroy its own brain!

** To clarify, God has BASICALLY told him that he doesn't know where Earth is and doesn't listen to prayers (Apparently he tuned them out a while ago.) this is all however a Xanatos Gambit to send him home and get the monks out of the closet, and to safety. Making Bender think that in order for him to get something done, you have to do it yourself. Returning to the quote above.

* A subtle one arises in the episode "The Why of Fry", when Fry discovers that the Nibblonians set up his cryogenic freeze and his new life in the future as a XanatosGambit against the Brain Spawn. The dialogue while he's angrily choking Nibbler might've been meant as absurd humor, but that last line comes off as a CMOA for Fry, especially since he's such a passive victim so often:

* For Fry: In "Time Keeps on Slipping", we learn that he literally moved the stars to spell out "I Love You Leela" in space.

* In "A Clockwerk Origin", [[TheFundamentalist Dr Banjo]] attempts to call out the Professor on the missing link in evolution. He asks where this "mythical creature" that stands between man and ape is. The Professor promptly pulls out a hologram with Homo Erectus (I think). Banjo then mockingly asks where the link is between Homo Erectus and ape, and is instantly presented with another early hominid. This continues about 16 times! If such a trope existed, CrowningMomentOfScience would apply!

*** Well, he is on [[BeyondTheImpossible Robot Santa's nice list.]]

* In the 100th episode, Fry gets yet another crowning moment when he saves all the mutants from drowning in sewer water doing something that could've gotten him proclaimed Mutant Moses.

* The season 8 finale contains a full '''''7-AND-A-HALF-MINUTE SEGMENT''''' dedicated to parodying everything in ''{{Voltron}}'', right down to its [[http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/07/25/futurama-voltron-video/ animation style and storytelling.]]

*** even cooler is that Hermes is humming the theme, just like we all do while gaming

*** [[LargeHam "I'M THE PROFESSOR! I CAN WIRE ANYTHING INTO ANYTHING!"]]
*** TheReveal that Bender [[RunningGag pulled the ol' switcheroo]] with the doomsday device, allowing the PlanEx crew to fire it at the nudists, winning the battle for good. Well, at least, if Nudar hadn't been wearing that doom-proof vest, which results in...

* The season 8 finale contains a full '''''7-AND-A-HALF-MINUTE''''' segment dedicated to parodying everything in ''{{Voltron}}'', right down to its animation style and storytelling. That is an instant win for a western animated series right there.

* Bender gets one for his BatmanGambit in "Overclockwise" where he is able to manipulate the justice system and get both Cubert and the Professor acquitted of their felony charges.

* Bender gets one for his XanatosGambit in the most recent episode where he is able to manipulate the justice system and get both Cubert and the Professor acquitted of their felony charges.

* "Parasites Lost". Fry engaging in a fencing duel against the king of parasitic worms, inside his body, threatening to kill himself (and subsequently the parasites). Also the parasites were improving Fry's body so he was fighting to know if Leela loved him o his improved self.

* Zoidberg got another one, where he saves the professor's life WITH HIS MEDICINAL KNOWLEDGE! anyone who knows...anything about zordberg can tell you how special that is
** A younger Professor, in the same episode, kills a yeti with nothing but a knife to save Zoidberg.

* While the episode "Jurassic Bark" is famous for its DownerEnding, it also contained Bender's CrowningMomentOfAwesome, where he ''dove into a lava pit'', and got out with Fry's dog. He said it best himself:

** This scene also contains Doctor Zoidberg's CrowningLineOfAwesome:
