Added DiffLines:

* "The Route of All Evil":
** Underhanded as they may be throughout the episode, it's very clear (and outright stated) that Dwight and Cubert are only acting this way [[WellDoneSonGuy because they want their fathers to be proud of them.]] Which they ''are.''
** Bender [[ItMakesSenseInContext acting like a loving pregnant mother towards the alcohol he's brewing inside him.]] Even as hilariously over the top as it's treated, the whole thing is still a moment for Bender.
-->'''Leela:''' Time to add the yeast.
-->'''Bender: Yeast? You mean, I'll have a life form growing inside me? It's so beautiful! ''(cries)''
** Fry and Leela are also very excited and act like expecting aunts and uncles or grandparents-to-be. Fry states he hopes it's a "lager" so he can take it to ball games and they are there to help Bender with the delivery. There's something absurdly endearing about Bender cuddling the cooler of ale bottles like a proud mother as Fry and Leela support him delightedly.
** The core of the episode revolves around Hermes and Professor Farnsworth's relationship with their sons, who have been out of control recently. Hilariously misplaced as it is, what was it that made the Professor put his foot down? ''They insulted Bender.''
-->'''Professor:''' Accusing gentle Bender of a misdeed? That's the last straw!
** After H.G. Blob beats up Hermes and Farnsworth over a disagreement with their sons (who are being bullied by Blob's son Brett), he visits the two in hospital (complete with flowers). Blob opens up to them about his own issues and offers a sincere apology, even stating he's partly doing so because he wants his son to see that violence is not the answer. The three bond over being fathers and Bender visits them in prison. The four of them happily share a beer together in the hospital room.
-->'''Bender:''' Hey, chumps! I heard you were on the ass-end of an ass-kicking so I figured you could use a couple of these little babies!
-->'''Hermes:''' Oh, why not? Might as well live it up as long as I've got this catheter in me.
-->'''Professor:''' Won't you join us, Mr. Blob?
-->'''Blob:''' ''(happily)'' Sounds like a plan!
-->'''Hermes:''' This is what makes life worth clinging to. Three fathers enjoying a day out with their sons.

* Also in "Radiorama", Fry and Leela. At first, Leela is upset with Fry's gift (a nude 3D sculpture of himself) since she can't see in 3D. But she realizes that he made this because he doesn't think of her in terms of her limitations and how his unconditional love for her has helped her overcome her insecurities. Considering how she was shown to have been bullied her whole life because of her eye, this is poignant. She then has the sculpture mounted above the entrance to be admired by all.

She apologizes later, feeling like a disappointment, but they gently reassure her that they're proud of everything she's become and she could never disappoint them. This prompts her to tell them her secret superhero identity despite the risk it poses.

* [[TookALevelInKindness Try "The Inhuman Torch" in its entirety]]. Bender is suspected of a [[EngineeredHeroics heroism addiction]] after rescuing bystanders from a series of fires that keep starting in places where he happens to be. [[NotMeThisTime For once, though, he's innocent]]; [[ItMakesSenseInContext a pyromaniac solar energy being has been nesting in his body unbeknownst to him]]. Upon finding this out, and simultaneously discovering that "Flamo" intends to turn the Earth into a new sun, Bender unhesitatingly makes a break for the Arctic, [[HeroicSacrifice intending to stay there for the next billion years until the thing burns out]], [[WhatYouAreInTheDark saving the Earth and all its inhabitants without anyone ever finding out]]. Fry discovers evidence pointing to his innocence and tracks him down to apologize, but quickly becomes convinced he's being lied to and leaves in a huff, unwittingly taking Flamo with him. Realizing what happened, Bender rushes to the burning Planet Express building and saves Fry's life [[UnwantedRescue despite Fry's stubborn refusal to cooperate in said saving]]. Flamo's leaders then arrive to take Flamo into custody, calling Bender the greatest hero in Earth's history. Fry is eager to tell everyone of Bender's deed, but Bender [[TheGreatestStoryNeverTold swears him to secrecy]] on the grounds that [[CassandraTruth no one will believe either of them]], and Fry instead pretends that he started the fire himself in a characteristic TooDumbToLive incident so that no one will suspect Bender, though it earns him the wrath of the rest of the crew. It's all capped off by this exchange as they continue to sell the others on the story:

** Fry, with no thought of making his heroism known, saving his unwitting friends and everybody else from the burning building after downing [[CaffeineBulletTime his 100th cup of coffee]] is as sweet as it's hilarious, particularly after how jumpy and frustrated he was the entire episode.

** A small moment, but at the beginning of the episode, when everyone believes Zoidberg is dead (he really just moulted his shell), Professor Farnsworth genuinely mourns the loss of Zoidberg and breaks down into tears. While it is actually rather sad, it's also an early showing of the closeness of Zoidberg and Farnsworth's longtime friendship - something that would not explored in further depth until Season 6 - especially since during this point in the show, you'd expect the Professor to just casually brush aside Zoidbger's "death" and ask someone to throw away his corpse.

** Before Fry discovers how he won Leela's heart with the abovementioned action, he fears that he might have somehow deceived or forced Leela into marrying him during one of the time skips. This leads to him delivering a sincere apology to Leela, and while said apology ultimately turns out to be unnecessary, it's really sweet to see how Fry's love for Leela is so genuine that he can't stomach the very idea that he may have possibly hurt or manipulated Leela into loving him back.



** Bender is tutored and consoled by the could be god creature which may not be much but Bender had been through an experience that nobody should go though or can understand or relate to so its nice for him to find someone who has been through the same experience longer than he has and understands his misfortune and guilt.
