* IdleRich: He was built so that humans would not have to fill this essential role. It's not clear where he gets the funds for his oil-and-cream baths or frivolous one-night-only opera productions, but he seems able to afford it. It's revealed in one of the Comedy Central episodes that he's a senator. Presumably, that still pays pretty well. Oh, and he's [[MadeOGold made of ''solid gold'']].

* NakedPeopleAreFunny: The comic book story "Planet Michelle" from issue 34 has Michelle being cloned several times, with some humor being derived from her clones being naked upon creation. The first clone is understandably not happy about her lack of clothes and is provided one of Amy's spare sweatsuits after Fry claims that Farnsworth is blind and Farnsworth goes along with it [[DirtyOldMan for obvious reasons]], while numerous other clones created later in the story also cover up with Amy's sweatsuits due to Amy's dry cleaning being onboard the Planet Express ship before they eventually run out of sweatsuits and later clones emerge from the ship in the buff, with Bender remarking that the later Michelle clones' nudity is an upside.

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite normally doing a horrible job at being a lawyer, he's managed to successfully argue for Planet Express in several cases (and has even represented Earth itself in some cases); he once managed to get Bender five hours of community service for causing a serious tanker crash on Pluto while he himself was on trial for incompetence. When asked to provide evidence to support Bender and Fry's insanity plea, he pointed to the fact that ''[[SelfDeprecation they chose him as their lawyer]]''. And it ''worked''.

* InstantExpert: When Bender asks if he speaks English, he responds with "I do now".
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Whether he's the actual deity figure of their universe or just a very powerful being is kept ambiguous. Bender puts forth that he's "the remains of a computerized space probe that collided with God," which the entity notes to be "probable." It's also ambiguous as to whether the Entity is letting on all he knows to Bender and the audience or is deliberately obfuscating to teach Bender a lesson on Godhood. The ending where he chuckles to Himself at the end of the episode and repeats his signature quote points to him really being the Almighty but won't shove it to anyone's face if not necessary.

The Entity replies that it's possible, but it's unclear whether He means this or is entertaining Bender's thoughts to help him think.
