YMMV / Futurama S 3 E 13 Bendin In The Wind

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Bender's motive for singing "My Broken Friend." Was Bender acting selfish by hiding his recovery from the public just to boost his ego one more time, or did he genuinely related to the broken robots and wanted to sing to them one last time in one climatic Swan Song before leaving the band? Or is it both?
• Genius Bonus: The joke about whale oil replacing petroleum isn't just a bit of Black Comedy tossed up by the writers. Whale oil was used in the manufacturing of many products - like lamp oil or transmission fluid - that now use petrol.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: VW's announcement of an electric microbus in 2017 pretty much renders the Post-Peak Oil gag moot. At the same time, the almost spaceship-like design of the real life car's interior makes Fry driving around that ancient relic even funnier.
