* KarmaHoudiniWarrenty: The alien scammers keep getting away with scamming everyone in their sight, including the Earthicans out of their planet. This finally get their just-deserts at the end when the Planet Express crew kills them with the bomb that Bender scammed them out of.

* AssholeVictim: The Box Network executives who cancelled Planet Express's license got fired, but then killed and turned into a fine pink powder to be used in "Torgo's Executive Powder". The Professor takes glee in this development happening.

* BitingTheHandHumor: The beginning of the movie takes a not so-sutble jab at Fox for cancelling the show. It has The Professor telling the Planet Express crew that they were fired two years ago by the "Box Network" [[SignsOfDisrepair (if it wasn't obvious enough, the B on their logo flickers to an F and back again)]] due to them cancelling their license. However, they ended up getting their jobs back due to the executives who cancelled them getting fired for incompetence, which then they beaten up badly, died of their injuries, then grounded up into a fine pink powder called "Torgo's Executive Powder".

* TakeThat: An almost heroically extended one. Apparently the morons who cancelled Planet Express' delivery license were fired, beaten up, killed, and [[NoKillLikeOverkill ground into a pink powder]] that's used in humiliating ways for the rest of the movie.

* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame[=/=]OutGambitted: In the climax, Bender ''scams'' the scammers.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: A couple regarding Lars' true identity.

* ForWantOfANail: Fry, now back to the 20th century, uses the code to go back in time a few more minutes to eat the pizza he was supposed to deliver. This minor event resulted in creating a time duplicate of Fry who eventually became Lars.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: During the song, Fry laments that Leela would like him "if he was a bald-headed kook."

* ScrewYourself: Nudar the scammer alien did this with his time duplicate.

* ArcWords: Farnsworth's warning that "the copy is always doomed" regarding copies of people or objects due to usage of time=travel. Every single copy through this dies or gets destroyed one way or another at a random point in the near future, and [[spoiler:Lars]] becomes extremely unnerved when hearing about this for the first time, [[spoiler:since he's an alternate Fry and now knows he's going to die very soon.]]

* SpotlightStealingTitle: The plot is in fact largely centered on Fry, but you wouldn't guess it from the title or [[CoversAlwaysLie the DVD cover]].

* ConcealingCanvas: The Professor's safe is hidden behind a painting of the Professor ''opening the painting to find the safe''. In fact, there's a layer of drywall between the painting and the safe, and the scammers use Bender to punch through the wall to reach the safe.

%%* ConcealingCanvas

* {{Handwave}}: The physical differences between Fry and Lars are quickly explained away in four words, when Bender nearly kills TD!Fry.

* HospitalHottie: Dr. Cahill. She is a sexy young doctor. Fry just called her "Dr. Good and Sexy".

* IdiotBall: No characters are safe from the nudist scammers. None. Especially egregious in the case of the Professor, who falls for an obvious scam right after telling the others off for falling for obvious scams. This leads to him signing his company over to the scammers after thinking he's won the Spanish National Lottery, even though he claims he didn't even know he had a ticket.

-->'''Bender:''' ''(crying)'' Ohhh, Fry, I'd give anything to unmurder you!

* PottyDance: Strangely enough, this happens to Bender for the first time ever. He even [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] over the lunacy of the situation.

** The scammers send Bender back in time to steal a host of famous pieces of art, including Michelangelo's ''Art/{{David}}''. Bender also somehow manage to steal the Ten Commandments and [[Music/VanHalen Eddie Van Halen's]] guitar.

* SickeninglySweethearts: Leela and Lars, at least to Leela’s coworkers, who are dealing with too many problems themselves to be in the mood to hear it.
* SkewedPriorities: Bender thinks he's killed Fry per his orders while BrainwashedAndCrazy and tearfully declares that he'd "give anything to unmurder" him. Fry shows up alive on cue, and Bender, on top of his delight over this twist, immediately decides that he'll have to kill him "again" so that no one will think he's incompetent and whips out a mallet.

* TimeyWimeyBall: The time code tattooed to Fry's ass in the shape of Bender's head can be used to summon one.
* TomatoInTheMirror: Fry discovering that his rival for Leela's affections is a time-displaced version of himself.

** Part of Zapp's plan to retake Earth is to send in a brigade of children to die first, allowing everyone else to come up with a better plan.

-->'''Lars:''' Admiral, will we stop attacking at any point, or is this one of those phony-baloney feel good wars like the war on drugs?

* EvilGloating: The scammers singing "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" as they evict the entire population of Earth definitely counts.

* BeenThereShapedHistory: In-universe example; Bender's time-travelling escapades are responsible for the destruction of Old New York.

The first of a stream of DirectToVideo films that would hopefully revive ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Alien nudists take control of Planet Express through a series of Internet scams, and discover a paradox free method of time travel tattooed to Fry's ass. They use Bender, who has unintentionally downloaded an obedience virus, to go back in time and steal history's most valuable objects, as there's no time traveling method of him getting back to the present, and he can just wait it out for a few hundreds of years. Fry eventually uses the time code to get back to the 21st century after Leela begins dating an older and more mature man by the name of Lars Fillmore.

* DeadpanSnarker: Lars, ''"Admiral, will we stop attacking at any point or is this one of those phony-baloney feel good wars like the war on drugs?"''

* AdvertisedExtra: [[ParodiedTrope Parodied]]. The theme song introduces all the main characters plus a new character, an alien named Zylex, who only appears briefly in a background scene.

* AnimalGenderBender: With very rare exceptions, female narwhals like Leelu don't have tusks.

-->'''TV Announcer''': We interrupt "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad to bring you a special announcement. ''([[DeathGlare The Hypnotoad glares at him offscreen]])'' Please, Hypnotoad! It's beyond my control! No, don't make me kill myself!

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Fry is at first extremely happy when he sees Lars left Leela at the altar, saying that finally there was a happy ending. He changes his mind when he sees Leela burst into tears and sees how unhappy she is without Lars and tries to mend their relationship towards the end of the story. However what neither he nor Leela know is that Lars [[spoiler:is also doing this himself for the sake of Leela's happiness. Marrying him would have meant that she was marrying a time travel duplicate of Fry and his days were guaranteed to be numbered as a result of time traveling using the paradox-correcting time code. Knowing that his death was inevitable and wanting to spare Leela from living in grief he calls off the marriage and ultimately manages to fulfill his destiny to die by saving Leela and the younger Fry and taking out Nudar in the process with the help of a self-destructing Bender]].

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Fry is at first extremely happy when he sees Lars left Leela at the altar, saying that finally there was a happy ending. He changes his mind when he sees Leela burst into tears and sees how unhappy she is without Lars.
