History NightmareFuel / Futurama

** There's also the SurpriseCreepy nature of the ending, where we learn this entire episode was told by Pazuzu to his son to explain how he was given his freedom:

* Almost ''anything'' in this ''entire show'' if you take it seriously: Zapp Brannigan's position and activities, the compulsive television watching, the completely unnecessary economic inequality, an insane PresidentEvil, a MegaCorp-owning CorruptCorporateExecutive, the constant police brutality no one cares about, an unstoppable BadSanta, eldritch aliens and amoral robots around every corner, and even the resident mad scientist is apparently capable of ''universal omnicide'', and he ''just hasn’t gotten around to it''. In an anything goes-style future, all life everywhere seems to have very little value, regardless of whatever species you may be.

* It's revealed that Leela was in real danger of dying from her coma. It's hinted at when she tries to attempt suicide by eating the honey, knowing that three spoonfuls will kill her. That may have been a sign of her organs crashing and why Fry was begging her to stay.

** The creepiest {{Yandere}} of all, though, has got to be ''[[RoboticPsychopath Bender himself]]''; fail to give him [[AttentionWhore the attention he craves]] and he may literally ''[[MurderTheHypotenuse kill your pet]]''. (he's attempted this with regard to ''both'' Leela and Fry, flushing Nibbler down the toilet and dunking Fry's fossilized dog in lava before he could clone it; the latter incident showed some character development for the better in that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he repented his actions]] and [[ActOfTrueLove saved the fossil at great personal risk]], but it's no less nightmarish to imagine [[PsychopathicManchild having a friend who'd act on his first murderous impulse and ask questions later]], ''[[LoveMakesYouCrazy all because he loves you]]''.

* From [[CharlieAndTheChocolateParody "Fry and the Slurm Factory"]], the secret ingredient of Slurm, actually the ''only'' ingredient: concentrated slime [[{{Squick}} from a giant alien slug's anus]].

* In "The Late Philip J. Fry", Fridge Logic says that "our" Leela, the Leela whose stories we've been following throughout all these seasons... one day remains alone, when Bender, Farnsworth and Fry disappear (and are believed dead in an explosion), lives out a life of resentment, has a failed marriage with Cubert (of all people), and overall leads a miserable existence, only forgiving Fry for "leaving" her after a whopping ''50 years'' when she finally finds out Fry disappeared involuntarily. The Leela that we know for the last few episodes? That's a different version of her, from the universe ''two Big Bangs after'' our universe. Even worse, Bender, Farnsworth and Fry accidentally kill their own doppelgangers from that universe, bury them and take their places in the lives of Leela and everybody else.

* Kif [[MrSeahorse giving birth]] to dozens of tadpole babies in the episode "Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch." We're treated to several seconds of Kif [[ScreamingBirth screaming in absolute agony]] as his skin inexplicably flashes from its usual pale green to a glowing, neon green, and we see ''the entire thing''. And there was a ''lot'' of (albeit green) blood. The last part of the episode carries some AdultFear undertones when Kif wearily asks Amy if their (actually it's Kif and Leela's) babies have made it safely to the pond.... only for the scene to cut to the babies getting attacked by giant, terrifying creatures like bugs and snakes, which are trying to eat them. Luckily, Amy manages to fend them all off and save all the babies.

* The Dying Unit 44 in "The Six Million Dollar Mon".
* From [[CharlieAndTheChocolateParody "Fry and the Slurm Factory"]], the secret ingredient of Slurm, actually the ''only'' ingredient: concentrated slime from a giant alien slug's anus.

** "'''YOU KILLED FRY! YOU KILLED FRY! YOU KILLED FRY!'''" [[NightmareRetardant "You killed Fry."]]

** "'''ME WANT ENGULF BENDER!'''"

* 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, [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments 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.
* In "Anthology of Interest", a WhatIf scenario shows Impulsive!Leela murdering all her friends in shockingly cruel ways. Bonus points for riding around inside a car made from Bender, and ''casually eating Zoidberg'' like he was seafood. It ends with Leela having sex with Fry, (presumably) [[BlackWidow killing him as well]].

* The Neptunian slug from ''My Three Suns''. It looks harmless and [[UglyCute kind of cute]] at first. But when Elzar takes it out of its cage afterward it starts growing rapidly in size with its teeth becoming sharp and menacing until it almost fills up the entire kitchen and looks as though its about to eat Elzar...

* Kif giving birth to dozens of tadpole babies in the episode "Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch." We're treated to several seconds of Kif screaming in absolute agony as his skin inexplicably flashes from its usual pale green to a glowing, neon green, and we see ''the entire thing''. And there was a ''lot'' of (albeit green) blood. The last part of the episode carries some AdultFear undertones when Kif wearily asks Amy if their (actually it's Kif and Leela's) babies have made it safely to the pond.... only for the scene to cut to the babies getting attacked by giant, terrifying creatures like bugs and snakes, which are trying to eat them. Luckily, Amy manages to fend them all off and save all the babies.

** Arguably, the ''only'' original characters left from the beginning of the series since then are the Professor and Bender since Fry has technically been a clone ever since "Rebirth", and everyone else is ''long'' dead and gone. While it's PlayedForLaughs and (like most things in ''Futurama'') not meant to be taken seriously, it's chilling that the characters we're watching in the majority of the second run are CloseEnoughTimeline versions and not the "real" ones.

*** Also, the unsettling implication that the moment the Professor returned them all to was [[HereWeGoAgain the start of the series]]. With none of them remembering anything that had happened previously. So they'll go through all their mishaps and adventures again, the Professor will invent the Time Button again, and Fry and Leela will [[TimeStandsStill pause the entire world]] on the eve of their engagement again. And again, and again, and again. . . ''Unless'' the Professor [[RippleProofMemory remembers what happened]] and decides ''not'' to make the button.
*** He didn't return them to the start of the series. The Professor said he would return them to a few days (or weeks) before he came up with the time-rewinding invention. It still doesn't prevent the entire thing from happening all over again, should he come up with the idea again.

* The existence of suicide booths, for those who are suicidally depressed or know those who are. It seems like 1000 years has turned suicide from a serious subject into simply another corner for profit.
** Not sure if this is better or worse, but since they operate at a cost of 25 cents, it's impossible for them to be making a profit. Could it be they are classified as a public utility?
** In ''Futurama's'' timeline, it didn't even take a thousand years: Stop and Drop is "America's favorite suicide booth since 2008."

* In "The Late Philip J. Fry", it's implied that "our" Leela, the "real" Leela, the Leela whose stories we've been following throughout all these seasons... one day remains alone, when Bender, Farnsworth and Fry disappear (and are believed dead in an explosion), lives out a life of resentment, has a failed marriage with Cubert (of all people), and overall leads a miserable existence, never seeing Fry again. The Leela that we meet for the last few episodes? That's a different version of her, from the universe "two Big Bangs after" our universe. Even worse, Bender, Farnsworth and Fry accidentally kill their own doppelgangers from that universe, bury them and take their places in the lives of Leela and everybody else.

** "Fun On a Bun" contains a heartwarming moment in which a [[LaserGuidedAmnesia selectively amnesiac]] Leela kisses Fry and suddenly flashes back to her memories of him starting with their earliest meeting in the pilot. Depending on how you read "The Late Philip J. Fry," this is either reassuring or ''very'' creepy since, if we're really seeing an entirely new universe, the Fry ''this'' Leela lived with and fell in love with was crushed to death by Farnsworth's time machine and she has no idea.

* People's life forces getting sucked out in "Thief of Baghead", and the fact that it happens so ''suddenly''. Not to mention [[HellIsThatNoise the horrifying sound that accompanies it.]]

* Zoidberg going on a hormone-fueled rampage through the gym in "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?".

* Almost ''anything'' in this ''entire show'' if you take it seriously: Zapp Brannigan's position and activities, the compulsive television watching, the completely unnecessary economic inequality, an insane PresidentEvil, a MegaCorp-owning CorruptCorporateExecutive, the constant police brutality no one cares about, an unstoppable BadSanta, eldritch aliens and amoral robots around every corner, and even the resident mad scientist is apparently capable of ''universal omnicide'', and he ''just hasn’t gotten around to it''. In an anything goes-style future, all life everywhere seems to have very little value, regardless of whatever species you may be. This is why there could never be a live action version of ''Futurama''.

** The space bees themselves. You know they're insanely deadly when [[MadScientist Professor Farnsworth]], who's perfectly fine sending his crew on suicide missions, [[EveryoneHasStandards refuses to send them on this mission]], as later heard by the old crew's last recording that Leela found.

** The "Don't Worry, Be Happy" scene with the grinning cartoon bees stinging the entire eerily cheerful crew and causing them to blow up one by one. SoundtrackDissonance at its most primally unsettling.

* In "The Late Philip J. Fry", it's implied that "our" Leela, the "real" Leela, the Leela whose stories we've been following throughout all these seasons... one day remains alone, when Bender, Farnsworth and Fry disappear (and are believed dead in an explosion), lives out a life of resentment, has a failed marriage with Cubert (of all people), and overall leads a miserable existance, never seing Fry again.

Even worse, Bender, Farnsworth and Fry accidentally kill their own doppelgangers from that universe, bury them and take their places in the lives of Leela and everybody else.

* "That Guy's" ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice extremely]]'' FamilyUnfriendlyDeath from "boneitus"]] in "Futurestock": he falls on the floor, his bones cracking and twisting, clearly in extreme pain. In his last death throe his hand involuntarily reaches over his head and pulls his eyelids to maximum stretching point. The [disease itself is a ChekhovsGun, but the actual revelation of what it does to its victims comes out of ''nowhere.''

* Another great BodyHorror fate goes to former Planet Express Ship captain Lando Tucker]] from "Möbius Dick," who is partially integrated into the flesh of a space whale and appears to be ''rotting alive'', with exposed rib bones to prove it. He still looks pretty great when you consider that [[AndIMustScream this process has been going on for a full fifty years]].

'''Moments pages are Administrivia/SpoilersOff. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.'''

-->'''Leela''': [[BlatantLies I couldn't make that out.]] [[BadLiar Too much static.]]

** "'''YOU KILLED FRY! YOU KILLED FRY! YOU KILLED FRY!'''"
*** [[NightmareRetardant "You killed Fry."]]

* Seeing how {{Yandere}} the [[AIIsACrapshoot Planet Express Ship]] gets in "Love and Rocket" is actually rather terrifying, especially when she reveals she plans to kill Fry, Leela, & Bender to be with Bender forever.

** Actually, she didn't because he said "I '''really''' like it". So she probably just did something else sexual to him that he enjoyed.
* The end result of Bender being turned human in "Anthology of Interest II": he's not so much human- as [[BodyHorror blob-shaped]] and ''dies without anyone noticing''.
** No one realizes he's dead because he keeps, apparently, yelling "Woohoo!" It's just the sound of air escaping as his body collapses.
* People's life forces getting sucked out in "Thief of Baghead", and the fact that it happens so ''suddenly''.
** Not to mention [[HellIsThatNoise the horrifying sound that accompanies it.]]

* Kif giving birth to dozens of tadpole babies in the episode "Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch." We're treated to several seconds of Kif screaming in absolute agony as his skin inexplicably flashes from its usual pale green to a glowing, neon green, and we see ''the entire thing''.

Luckily, Amy manages to fend them all off and save all the babies.

* "Murder on The Planet Express" has to be the creepiest episode in the whole series. It's a homage to ''Film/TheThing1982'' and ''{{Film/Alien}}'', with a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]] alien creature that can disguise itself as any of of the crew and can swallow a person whole, which naturally leads to ''a lot'' of ParanoiaFuel, though it becomes NightmareRetardant at the end when the alien is revealed to have never actually killed anyone, as the entire event was an elaborate set-up designed by his business associate to help build the group's trust in each other.
** Nope, still NightmareFuel. The alien was ''so'' [[GoneHorriblyRight successful at making Fry and Bender paranoid]], that they both repeatedly fire laser guns at the business associate, until all that's left of him is a small pile of dust. Granted, you could file that under TooDumbToLive, but the horrified expressions of Fry and Bender are so chilling you'd have a hard time stating that, under the same circumstances, you wouldn't do the same thing.
* From ''The Beast with a Billion Backs'', the tentacles' invasion, though partially PlayedForLaughs, is still rather unsettling. It takes up a lot of the movie, and the resistants are slowly dwindling, until only Leela is left. And even after Yivo is revealed to be a rather good, well, creature, you have to remember that skhler tentacles are actually, as Leela puts it, "gentacles". Everyone was horrified when they learned about it, which basically means that ''skhlee raped every living creature in the entire universe at once''.

** Arguably, the ''only'' original characters left from the beginning of the series since then are the Professor and Bender since Fry has technically been a clone ever since "Rebirth", and everyone else is '''''long''''' dead and gone. While it's PlayedForLaughs and (like most things in ''Futurama'') not meant to be taken seriously, it's chilling that the characters we're watching in the majority of the second run are CloseEnoughTimeline versions and not the "real" ones.

In his last death throe his hand involuntarily reaches over his head and pulls his eyelids to maximum stretching point. The [disease itself is a ChekhovsGun, but the actual revelation of what it does to its victims comes out of ''nowhere.''
* "Obsoletely Fabulous" pits WhatMeasureIsANonHuman against AndroidsArePeopleToo in an unexpectedly chilling fashion. Intimidated by the "1-X unit," a more effective (and more subservient) model of robot which seems likely to replace the [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots currently prevalent model]], Bender seeks an upgrade that will render him "compatible" with Farnsworth's new 1-X in order to win back what he perceives as the love of his friends. To his horror, he finds that the upgrade simply reprograms the upgraded robot to love the 1-X unit. Unwilling to have his "robo-humanity" violated, Bender breaks out of the machine designed to download the upgrade and strikes out on his own, afraid to face his friends without the "improvement." The resultant adventure eventually requires him to embrace the new technology to save the lives of his friends, causing him to declare his love for the 1-X unit. [[spoiler:At which point [[MindScrew he wakes up in the machine]], [[AllJustADream the entire episode having been a vision caused by his processing of the upgrade]]. Just to hammer it home, [[DownerEnding the robot whose turn is next reacts to Bender's changed attitude exactly as Bender did when he saw the same change in the robot who went before him]].]]
* "Law and Oracle" introduces [[PreCrimeArrest the "Future Crimes" division in the NNYPD]], powered by a robot "oracle" loaded with enough information on the entire community to predict a crime in advance. All implications of SinisterSurveillance and potential for error aside, the oracle proves to be a [[TheChessmaster Chessmaster]] with his own agenda and [[spoiler:is even able to concoct a believable fake vision when the need arises]]. That's without getting into the BodyHorror of the mechanism itself: the oracle is essentially a supercomputer attached to [[{{Cyborg}} an actual human brain]], which the robot half is seeking to kill off to avoid [[AndIMustScream the overwhelm and misery of always knowing exactly what will happen]].

Welcome to the future, at least as seen through ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''. Please be warned spoilers abound. Which makes sense, as this is the future.

* From [[CharlieAndTheChocolateParody "Fry and the Slurm Factory"]], the secret ingredient of Slurm, [[spoiler:actually the ''only'' ingredient: concentrated slime from a giant alien slug's anus]].
* "The Sting" may make you cringe forevermore at the sight of furry bumblebee bodies. Fry's death, Leela's hallucinations, followed by her descending into madness, her attempting suicide just so she can be with Fry, and Leela getting attacked by bees after she throws the honey against the wall. The only consoling thing is that [[spoiler: none of this happened, Fry was alive, and that the whole thing was [[AllJustADream Leela's coma fantasy]].]]

** Speaking of yanderes against Bender, the Don-bot's daughter Bella going after him while he's in the Witness Protection Program, wearing a mourning gown, armed with a laser gun and her bell making [[ForDoomTheBellTolls frightening church bell chimes]] [[spoiler: And then it turns out that when she shot him dead, she killed a completely innocent robot and Bender was safe on Earth all along]]!

** The creepiest {{Yandere}} of all, though, has got to be ''[[RoboticPsychopath Bender himself]]''; fail to give him [[AttentionWhore the attention he craves]] and he may literally ''[[MurderTheHypotenuse kill your pet]]''. (He's attempted this with regard to ''both'' Leela and Fry, flushing Nibbler down the toilet and [[spoiler:dunking Fry's fossilized dog in lava before he could clone it]]; the latter incident showed some character development for the better in that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he repented his actions]] and [[spoiler:[[ActOfTrueLove saved the fossil at great personal risk]]]], but it's no less nightmarish to imagine [[PsychopathicManchild having a friend who'd act on his first murderous impulse and ask questions later]], ''[[LoveMakesYouCrazy all because he loves you]]''.
--->'''Bender:''' ''(embracing Fry after [[spoiler:"killing" Seymour]])'': Now I'm '''''all you got!'''''

* The end result of Bender being turned human in "Anthology of Interest II": he's not so much human- as [[BodyHorror blob-shaped]] and ''dies without anyone noticing''. (Overlaps with NauseaFuel- especially that bit where he pulls a sandwich out of his folds. Gaaah.)

* In "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", a bookshelf falls on Fry [[spoiler: in his imagined scenario]], breaking his neck. The graphic results are shown for a very long period of time.

* When the '80s Guy's bone-itis finally acts up.

* "Murder on The Planet Express" has to be the creepiest episode in the whole series. It's a homage to ''Film/TheThing1982'' and ''{{Film/Alien}}'', with a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]] alien creature that can disguise itself as any of of the crew and can swallow a person whole, which naturally leads to ''a lot'' of ParanoiaFuel, [[spoiler:though it becomes NightmareRetardant at the end when the alien is revealed to have never actually killed anyone, as the entire event was an elaborate set-up designed by his business associate to help build the group's trust in each other.]]

Everyone was horrified when they learned about it, which basically means that [[spoiler: ''skhlee raped every living creature in the entire universe at once''.]]
** And then there's the throwaway gag that ''one family'' is responsible for [[ToiletHumour evacuating all the waste]] of (apparently) everyone on Earth.

* From "The Six Million Dollar Mon", Roberto (a character who would be a good example of Nightmare Fuel to begin with) [[spoiler:comes back from the grave when his brain is inserted into Hermes' robot body.]]
** The scene where he [[spoiler: rips off part of Hermes' skin so he can eat it (lucky for Hermes, Zoidberg didn't re-install his nerves)]].
* In "Meanwhile", [[spoiler:Fry jumps off the Vampire State Building believing Leela wouldn't come, only to realize far too late that his watch is minutes ahead due to his constant rewinding of time. What results is him constantly using the button to save himself, endlessly repeating the same near-death fall with no end in sight.]]
** [[spoiler: And then [[FromBadToWorse it gets worse.]] The Professor distracts him, causing him to lose the button and he ''smashes onto the pavement'', his bloody remains shown in all its glory. Luckily Leela uses the button, but its only enough to see him once again fall to his death. The worst thing about this? ''He remembers it all''.]]
** [[spoiler:Professor Farnsworth being shredded to oblivion, though he does survive.]]
** [[spoiler:Finally, the idea that time has frozen for all eternity, while Fry and Leela live and age normally. If the Professor didn't arrive, or Fry threw away the remains of the button, [[FridgeHorror it would've stayed that way forever.]]]]

* Fry's predicament in "Insane in the Mainframe" is pretty horrific. He's accused of a crime he didn't commit, is unable to identify the real criminal for fear of his life, and then is sent with Bender to an insane asylum for robots just because the human asylums are full. He's subjected to a humiliating physical examination and then ignored when he tries to tell people he's a human (the doctor insists that he ''must'' be a robot, since he's at the robot asylum to begin with). He's forced to share a closet-sized room first with Malfunctioning Eddie, a robot who blows up at the drop of a hat and then [[spoiler: Roberto, the same AxeCrazy robot who committed the crime he was arrested for]]. He practically starves because the only food he's given is oil (he's surviving on misplaced candy of all things), his coworkers only seem mildly concerned about getting him out (and their attempts to get his sentence overruled are being ignored) and Bender is completely unconcerned with Fry's rapidly deteriorating mental state. His pleas for the Planet Express crew to get him out some way are possibly the most panicked and desperate he's ever sounded throughout the series. [[spoiler:And in the end, he isn't released until he's "cured" of the belief that he's human and is mentally broken into thinking he's a robot.]]

* In "I Dated a Robot", [[spoiler:Kidnappster has been stealing celebrity heads for centuries and offering them for illegal downloads. The heads' reactions as they're being downloaded highly suggests that the process is quite painful.]]

** Arguably, the ''only'' original characters left from the beginning of the series since then are the Professor and Bender since Fry has technically been a clone ever since "Rebirth", and everyone else is '''''long''''' dead and gone. While it's PlayedForLaughs and (like most things in Futurama) not meant to be taken seriously, it's chilling that the characters we're watching in the majority of the second run are CloseEnoughTimeline versions and not the "real" ones.
