History Heartwarming / Futurama

*** One [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrmFA5aHg7Y&lc=Ugw8Nrz76BBoQnvynzh4AaABAg&ab_channel=AzMahoony youtube commenter]] even brought up a good fact about this. Yancy's son could have used that clover for anything else in his life and be successful. Instead, he chose to honor his Uncle and accomplished everything his uncle wanted to do. It can't be by sheer coincidence; Yancy or his grandparents must have told him, further signifying that they did listen and care for him.

** Robot Santa deems everyone in Planet Express naughty...except Zoidberg (whom he bequeaths a pogo stick). In fact, the entire episode is a meta example; it can easily be nicknamed "[[ThrowTheDogABone Throw Zoidberg A Bone]]: The Episode."

-->'''Fry''': Either way, the laws of the universe are way beyond our control. So what can we do? We just make the best of it. I don’t know what we’re about to see, Leela, but I love you, now and forever. And that much is real. Even if we’re not.

* While it's also a tearjerker, Fry and Leela are shown holding each other close when Bender is about to take his one-way trip to the simulated world.

** Fry and Leela realize that Bender and Zoidberg weren't invited into anyone's Christmas party. Soon after, ''all'' of the Planet Express' families come to celebrate with them at Planet Express.

** While it's played as a joke about his {{Manchild}} tendencies, Fry is excited to hang out with Kif and Amy's kids to watch a holiday special. A later scene even shows their daughter Mandy clinging Fry's finger.
** After the professor seemingly turns Santa good, he sends everyone home for Xmas to spend time with their families.

** Scruffy clinging to the wash bucket while escaping the soon to be destroyed mars, as established in "Prisoner of Benda" it's sentient.

** Mom's respectful treatment of Zoidberg. Apparently he's the only one she treats nicely. She was also willing to accept a small coupon as payment just to save the professor.

** Bender adopts twelve orphans hoping to sell them to make a profit. At the end, he returns them to the Orphanarium, and they give him a picture of him smoking a candy cane as a reminder. Bender acts disgusted, but when he thinks no one's looking, frames the picture on the inside of his door. Cue twelve overjoyed orphans.

* In "The Honking" Bender is infected with a virus [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent clearly analogous to lycanthropy]] which dooms him to eventually kill his "dearest friend." Naturally, everyone's concerned about [[HeterosexualLifePartners Fry]], including Bender himself, but in his "werecar" mode, he unexpectedly goes after ''Leela''. Fry's CrazyJealousGuy response aside, the resulting conversation confirms that ''both'' Bender's friends are highly important to him, as does werecar!Bender's eventual struggle to choose a victim between [[ThreeAmigos two equally valid best friends]] (at which point he finally goes for Fry, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint to Fry's utter delight]]).

* In "Neutopia," Hermes and [=LaBarbara=] make love in their original form and in their gender swapped bodies. Afterwards, [=LaBarbara=] says, "I don't care what parts I have, as long as they intersect with yours."

* "Parasites Regained": Leela and Nibbler bonding at the beginning of the episode, with the latter being his true sapient self. That is, until Nibbler gets sick.
