* Fry and Yivo hit it off because Yivo is a cyclops (with purple "hair").

* The Robot Devil more than likely included names of deceased characters just to cheat Fry, but why include his own name let alone hold up his end of the bargain?

* In two episodes, Leela [[BlackComedy makes remarks about stomping puppies]]. It sounds wildly out of character for an AnimalLover like her... until you remember that, according to "I Second That Emotion" and "Parasites Regained," Nibbler loves to eat puppies. Perhaps this is just a way to feed her own pet.

* In "I Know What You Did Next X-Mas" Zoidberg laments not having a family to meet up with despite having an uncle he ended up bonding with and a girlfriend. Considering he was elderly when we met him in an episode set 20 years ago [[BusCrash he could've passed away off-screen]], and his relationship with Marianne could've broken up because the episode after they got together, Zoidberg and the other Planet Express skipped a decade due to how the Professor fixed the time stop.

** He also seems to keep track of the sales prices of different metals - could be he trades in some of his parts if they're favorable currently, buying replacements of parts made out of some low price, but potentially higher later on. Could also be, he's not technically talking about everything he's made up with these percentages - for example, could mention 30% iron, not as a percentile of say his chest parts, but say the gears and whatnot that make up his name, while thr 40% titanium could very well be metal % composition of his torso.

* In the pilot the "you gotta do, what you gotta do" rule was treated as [[SeriousBusiness a relay big deal]] referenced frequently in dialogue and constantly seen on posters implying the whole society of the future is based around that rule. But after that it [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse was never mentioned again]] is this an AbortedArc or was the rule enforced by President [=McNeil=].

* "Game of Tones" reveals that Ferburary (now known as Flomurary) has at least 39 days. Given "Crimes of the Hot" and most likely the near-Mars collision altered Earth's orbit, the year being that longer isn't so shocking.

* Also in "Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love?", we're introduced to Claw Flock, a fight to the death between two males for the hand of a contested female. It seems stupid to us humans, but it makes total sense given that Decapodians die after mating. A male that goes courting and seems to have found a receptive female ia basically getting ready to die, and therefore ends up passing the point of no return some time before the mating frenzy. If they lose the courtship, they're at a point where they didn't expect to live, which could ruin them as surely as going OutWithABang.
