* TakeThat: More specifically to the above, his first appearance is a spoof of young-earth creationists, in particular Australian young-earth creationist Ken Ham, the founder of the Creation Museum in Kentucky. Dr. Banjo's "debate" with Professor Farnsworth actually predates Ham's infamous debate with Creator/BillNye by two years. His second appearance, where he hosts the "Dr. Banjo Experience Podcast Experience Hour," is this towards Creator/JoeRogan, who frequently hosted vaccine skeptics on his podcast during COVID-19.

[[folder:Space Bees]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Various, Creator/DawnnLewis (Space Bee Queen, "The Futurama Holiday Special")
->'''Debut:''' "The Sting"
Space Bees (''duh'') who farm a delicious form of honey, responsible for killing several of Planet Express's previous crews in horrible, horrible ways.
----
* AdiposeRex: The Bee Queen. Though as she retorts, ''you'' try keeping your figure after fifty thousand kids.
* BeeAfraid: Vicious, space-dwelling bees larger than a Buick ("and twice as ugly!") with a horrific neurotoxin that kills anyone they sting with it in hideous agony.
* BerserkButton: Like actual bees, just going near them can be enough to set them off, but whatever you do, do ''not'' call them fat, and ''especially'' not their queen.
* BewareMyStingerTail: Bees, remember? Even without the poison, they're still big enough that a baby bee can ''skewer'' someone. They're also tough enough to dent the Planet Express Ship.
* BodyHorror: If you're not allergic, a single sting will kill you. If you ''are''... you don't want to know.
-->'''Professor:''' Your eyes will boil from their eye sockets like a science fair volcano!\\
'''Hermes:''' ''(sobbing)'' I didn't want to knoooow!
* DroneOfDread: The angry buzzing of a hive of Space Bees operating with single killing intent is usually the last thing their victims hear. Besides their own screaming.
* ItCanThink: They're perfectly intelligent, and even capable of conversing with sentients. They just don't want to.
* MadeOfExplodium: In good ''Futurama'' tradition, Space Bees explode when they fly into things for no readily apparent reason, turning their hive into a fireball.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Baby Queens are adorable looking... but every bit as vicious as the adults.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Only appear in a few episodes, but had they not killed the last Planet Express crew (and the one before that), Fry, Bender and Leela would never have got their jobs.
* SuddenlyVoiced: In "The Sting", they communicate via buzzing. In "The Futurama Holiday Special", they talk verbally.
* ZergRush: Like real bees, anyone getting near the hive is attacked by every bee at once.
-->'''Crewman:''' Captain, the bees have us surrounded! Oh, the Professor was right, we ''aren't'' as good as his old crew!\\
'''Captain:''' Well I aim to prove him wrong! It'll take more than deadly bees to stop u-''(loud buzzing)'' OH LORD! '''''AAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!'''''

* TimeTravelingJerkass: A proxy example. While they can't use the time code to pull of their time heist since [[TheSlowPath it only goes back in time]], they do order the robotic Bender to go back and swindle the riches of history with advanced weapons. They do this with absolutely no concern over [[RealityBreakingParadox the potential damage]] abusing the code does, at least [[ItsAllAboutMe until they're rich enough they'd rather not risk tempting fate]]. And they act like [[{{Jerkass}} assholes]] all the while.
* PlaceBeforeTime: Shkler universe predates Universe Gamma[[note]]the main one[[/note]] by a huge mile, with shkler mentioning she spent at least a trillion years alone. For reference, Yivo's universe is over seventy times older than the primary universe.

* TimeAbyss: Was around for at least a trillion years before noticing the Big Bang. Shklee is potentially the oldest ''anything'' to that point except maybe the Galactic Entity[[note]]who says "I have always been"[[/note]], with even the Nibblonians only being 17 years older than the Big Bang.

* StupidityInducingAttack: How they destroy other races; use their stupefaction ray to target people's Delta Brainwave and make entire races TooDumbToLive. Fry's lack of a Delta Brainwave makes him immune to becoming [[TheDitz stupider]].

Fry's lack of a Delta Brainwave makes him immune to becoming [[TheDitz stupider]]. They also do this because the thoughts of other people hurt them.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: He's an homage to the many "[[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien supernatural alien]]" villains in ''Star Trek''. Especially [[Recap/StarTrekS1E17TheSquireOfGothos Trelane]], another FanOfThePast who forced the crew to roleplay and fight for his amusement. Trelane really WAS just a silly (if dangerous) kid, while Melllvar's an entitled adult fanboy.
