* In ''Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles'', the crew all begin to age backwards and get younger and younger as time progresses. By the end of the episode, they're simply fetuses, and would suffer a FateWorseThanDeath... pre-life! Then death. They find a fountain of aging to get them back to their right ages, but Zoidberg unfortunately slips in, and he ages at such a rapid pace that he is dead by the time he reaches the center. Luckily, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Turns out it wasn't Zoidberg, though.]] It was just one of his brothers that budded off, while there are miniature Zoidberg heads on a coral reef that they're all attached to. Seeing them all bicker does lighten the mood a little.

* The episode where Fry is sent to an asylum for mad robots and "cured" ''to think he is a robot'', compounded by Fry's disheveled, gray appearance while he's in the asylum. And the sad fact that nobody tried to save him, not even [[TrueCompanions the Planet Express crew]], was deeply unsettling. Although the episode [[NightmareRetardant made up for it with Bender claiming to be Napoleon]].
* The ending to ''A Fishful of Dollars'' where Zoidberg demands more anchovies, which went extinct in the 2200's, after he eats all of them from the can Fry won in an auction (long story) on a pizza.

* In the episode, "The Late Phillip J. Fry," Fry, Bender and the Professor accidentally go forward in time 1000 years in a time machine... that can only go forwards in time. They decide the best course of action is to keep going forward until they find a time period that has invented a time machine that can go backwards, but end up going so far forward that they see TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. They decide just to keep going to see what will happen, and end up witnessing the literal destruction of the universe. The animation for this section is awe-inspiring, but it is also utterly terrifying. Especially since [[FridgeHorror they had no way of knowing]] that there was a StableTimeLoop and eventually they would return to their time "the long way around".
