History Recap / FuturamaS1E7MyThreeSuns

* VengefulVendingMachine: A machine selling "Refreshing Crack" gets stuck, and the customer whines "Come on, man! Don't hold out on me like this!"

* AnimationBump: As it features a large cast of characters who are literally fluid, the animation for the episode is, itself, more fluid and bouncy. Notice the anticipation on Fry when he hears Leela's voice after thinking she's dead.

* BioluminescenceIsCool: Trisolians glow in their nocturnal phase.
* CantYouReadTheSign: The package was a sign that said, "Please Don't Drink The Emperor". Fry hangs it up next to dozens of other signs written in various alien languages.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Fry's main flaw for the episode. He doesn't think before he acts and utterly refuses to do so. Doing everything in the episode without any forethought and almost getting himself killed multiple times. His learning that he can't just stumble about and act like everything will turn out fine is the point of the episode.

* FryingPanOfDoom: Elzar recommends cast-iron cookware just in case Neptunian slugs suddenly start growing, and need a bit of incentive to get back in the pan.

* LethalChef: Bender wanting to be a great chef like Elzar starts here, as does his being completely terrible at it, serving everyone salt, which he defensively claims was slightly less than a lethal dose for humans.

* RoyalHarem: The Trisolian Emperor has one of these. Fry is brought in and told he can choose any of the women to be his concubine. Unfortunately for Fry they're all held in identical bottles so he ends up pointing at a random bottle, and changing his mind based on Murg's reaction.

* ToiletHumour: Fry suggests vomiting or urinating Bont out of him. Bont refuses, but likes those slightly better than sweating.

* CatchPhrase: "Good News, everyone" starts here. Bender immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it.

* TooDumbToLive: Fry almost gets killed in a back alley because he refused to believe that the shadey guy selling organ wasn't on the level even after he told him he'd get his gills next week.

* WhatExactlyIsHisJob: Bender starts off the episode not having a job at Planet Express at all. Hermes notices, which results in Bender decided to become a chef.

''Presented in DOUBLEVISION (where drunk)''

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: A major plot point is that Fry is too "manly" to cry, which conflicts with later episodes where he has no problem crying over minor things.

* SpoofAesop: Fry responds to Leela's concerns by telling a rambling, nonsensical version of ''TheGrasshopperAndTheAnts'', in which a grasshopper buries acorns all year while an octopus mooches off his girlfriend. Then winter comes, the grasshopper inexplicably dies, and the octopus steals his acorns. And gets a race car.

* KlingonPromotion: How Fry becomes the emperor. In fact, this is so prevalent that the Trisollians already have pictures hanging in their hall of emperors for Fry's Assassin and Fry's Assassin's Assassin.
