* HypocriticalHumor: Professor Farnsworth warns against the use of the time button for other than scientific purposes. He mostly uses it to tease Zoidberg.
** He calls Fry a "senile old idiot" at the end of the episode, but he is known to lose his mind more than anyone else on the show.

* BookEnds: Way back in the pilot, [[HumanPopsicle Fry (and Leela for a brief period) ended up getting frozen]] while time passed as normal for the rest of the universe. Here, the [[TimeStandsStill rest of the universe ends up getting frozen]] while time passes as normal for Fry and Leela.

* ClamTrap: Fry attempts to propose to Leela by putting the ring in a large clam, which dismembers one of Leela's hands when it clamps down on it. Fortunately, Fry uses the time button to undo.

* ResetButton: The Time Button is a ''literal'' example of this trope. Professor Farnsworth uses it to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong, setting them all [[HereWeGoAgain back to before the Time Button was invented]], thus resetting the events of this episode (and either leaving open a storyline to use for another movie or series revival or making it so that way viewers can watch the pilot episode immediately after the finale and start the series all over again).

* ChekhovsGun: During the TimeStandsStill montage Fry and Leela occasionally see a flash of light. This is revealed to be Farnsworth who was shunted into a "[[TechnoBabble perpendicular timeline]]" and spend the equivalent of Fry and Leela's decades together trying to find exactly what point in time they were. Once he emerges, a large series of tubes are revealed.


Added DiffLines:

* TimeyWimeyBall: While Fry and Leela enjoy the TimeStandsStill world, Farnsworth was apparently pushed into a perpendicular timeline. When he finally catches them Fry and Leela spent decades living their life together, while Farnsworth doesn't appear any older than he normally is.
