* IAmAHumanitarian: Okay, Zoidberg's not human, but he's still a co-worker, and Leela and Fry casually munch on him. Fry doesn't seem to notice who he's eating, though.
* IResembleThatRemark: After Fry tells Leela to be more impulsive:
-->'''Leela''': I can be really impulsive! [[HypocriticalHumor It just takes me a while.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: In the world of the first short, the initial absence of Bender doesn't seem to have thrown off the plot of the series too badly, given that Leela still joined the Planet Express crew. Then again, it's ambiguous whether ''Fry'' did, and it's hard to imagine how it would happen that Leela joined the crew and Fry didn't. (It's anyone's guess how the events of "Space Pilot 3000" went.)
