History Recap / FuturamaS2E13BenderGetsMade

* EasilyForgiven: Despite the main characters racking up a $1,200 bill at Elzar's, he doesn't seem to care too much when Bender walks away from working off the debt after what's implied to only be a half-day or so of menial jobs. Though this can probably be justified as Elzar not wanting to cross the Robot Mafia, since Bender leaves him to work for them (either that, or Elzar just pays his staff obscenely well).

!!Tropes

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Bender tries scamming Donbot, and as Joey Mousepad and Clamps advance, Donbot laughs, impressed by Bender's ball-bearings.

* EveryoneHasStandards: Bender has no qualms about doing all manner of illegal things under the Robot Mafia, but draws the line at killing Fry and Leela.
* EyeScream: Leela gets spice weasel spice in her eye, blinding her for days.

* HaveAGayOldTime: Upon being asked if he wants to work for Donbot as a hired goon, Bender happily exclaims "I have always wanted to break into gooning!" That, uh, [[RagingStiffie doesn't quite mean the same thing 20 years later.]]

* KickTheDog: After Leela inadvertently destroys the roof of the Planet Express building, Hermes looks at the damage, then turns to Zoidberg and says "That's coming out of your pay!", reducing Zoidberg to tears.
* KillItWithFire: Donbot's idea to deal with Planet Express after stealing the cigars: Burn down the ship and burn down ''the crew''.
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: The poor sap who can't pay his rent gets shot full of holes as a warning. And then walks away. Justified because he's a robot.

* PaperThinDisguise[=/=]NewspaperThinDisguise: Smitty and Url hanging out on a street corner in plain clothes over their normal uniforms, reading ''Non-Cops News''.

* RefugeInAudacity: Bender's attempt to pocket the Donbot's change outrages his goons at first, but when Bender tells the guy, ''to his face'', that he's trying to steal from a dangerous mafioso, the Donbot considers it funny.

* SophisticatedAsHell: Bender's king accent doesn't change his vocal patterns, resulting in "I say, get the hell off."
* SpitTake: After realizing that the ship the Robot Mafia is going to attack is none other than the Planet Express Ship, Bender does a full ''ten second'' spit-take after drinking some oil up until the commercial break. On the DVD commentary they say that if they had been able to they would have still had him doing it after coming ''out'' of the commercial break.

* TookALevelInDumbass: Leela, on being blinded. Not in the sense that she actually becomes less intelligent, but because she stubbornly insists on still trying to fulfil her usual duties despite being blind, something that proves beyond even the usually hyper-competent Leela.
* WorkOffTheDebt: Even though it was supposed to be as restitution for blinding Leela, Elzar charges the PE gang a small fortune for the meal, with Bender volunteering to work it off.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Leela usually serves as Fry's voice of reason whenever he lets something go to his head. However, when blinded she practically thinks she's Comicbook/{{Daredevil}} (with the expected but not unwelcome [[HilarityEnsues hilarity ensuing]]).

Bender gets the job of a lifetime--working for the Robot Mafia. His loyalties are tested when their next heist is robbing a crate of expense cigars from Planet Express.

* ActingForTwo: In-universe with Bender in this episode

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Joey declares that the heist "may involve some death killin'".

* OverlyLongGag: Benders oil SpitTake when he sees the Robot Mafia's next target is the Planet Express ship. It lasts about 10 seconds.
* PaperThinDisguise / NewspaperThinDisguise: Smitty and Url hanging out on a street corner in plain clothes over their normal uniforms, reading ''Non-Cops News''.

* HaveAGayOldTime: Upon being asked if he wants to work for Donbot as a hired goon, Bender happily exclaims "I have always wanted to break into gooning!" That, uh, [[RagingStiffie doesn't quite mean]] [[ADateWithRosiePalms the same thing 20 years later.]]

* {{Bowdlerization}}: Once again, Creator/CartoonNetwork and TBS cut out one of the professor's lines. This time, it's "Holy Zombie Jesus!" after he sees the restaurant bill. And similar to "The Deep South," Cartoon Network muted out the "Jesus" part while TBS just cut the entire line while the [=DVD=]s, Netflix, Hulu, the original FOX version ([[ScheduleSlip if anyone managed to see it]]), Comedy Central, and [=SyFy=] Channel has it uncut.

* DineAndDash: Elzar thinks this is what the Planet Express crew want to do after they refuse to pay the expensive bill (even though he said it was his treat) so he had them arrested and forced them to work in his kitchen.
