* Robot Santa seemingly getting what may be his most humiliating defeat yet. He gets kidnapped by a time-travelling Bender and Zoidberg who tie him up with Xmas tree lights, and they lock him up in an old meat locker upon returning to the present. Then when he breaks out and attempts to kill the two, he slips on a puddle of Zoidberg's "dumpster nog" and gets electrocuted by Xmas tree lights, short-circuiting him out. Finally he gets dismantled by Bender and Zoidberg as they try to dispose of his body, leaving him nothing but a head as he reactivates. But then he reveals that the whole thing was plot to blackmail Bender.

** From the same episode, the attack on the alien mothership by Zapp's army of conscripts is a surprisingly exciting space battle, played ''mostly'' straight (albeit by being a direct parody of the attack on the Death Star from ''Film/ANewHope'') as a swarm of Earthling ships fly across the surface, taking fire from its defences. Fry even delivers the killing blow from his laser turret and the entire crew celebrates as it explodes. [[spoiler:It's rather a pity that [[NegatedMomentOfAwesome it turned out they were attacking the Hubble Telescope instead]].]]

* Almost nine years after the show's second cancellation the announcement that Hulu was going to revive it for a new season was made even better when virtually the whole cast was confirmed to be signing on. The only exception at the time of the announcement was Creator/JohnDiMaggio, who was hesitant due to concerns over adequate compensation, but eventually that worked out as well and so the 2023 revival of ''Futurama'' will feature the full lineup of voice actors from the show's previous runs.

* Fry gets a small moment when he tries to fight off the Robot Mafia in "Bender gets Made". Sure, the Robot Mafia catches up with them, but he did pretty well for Fry. Hell, Fry did good by anyone's standards. Note that he was managing to out-pilot the Robot Mafia, while at the same time keeping a running fire-fight with them, having to man the ship via a pulley system while he was up in the main turret. The only reason the robots caught up with them at all was because of Leela's hugging the IdiotBall.
