While on a campiing trip, Fry's nose is stolen by aliens because 'human horns' are used by some species as an aphrodisiac. They track the nose to Lrrr, of the planet Omicron Persei VIII, whose marriage with Ndnd is on the rocks. Then Lrrr gets it into his head that he needs Fry's ''lower'' horn...!

* DreadfulMusician: While Leela is usually extremely competent at just about anything, singing falls into the small number of things she's catastrophically bad at. Lrrr and Ndnd are so horrified by her rendition of "I Will Always Love You" that they decided to harvest Fry's "lower horn" there and then, and get out of there.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: This looks to be invoked when Bigfoot enters the fray at the climax, but it's the other way around. For all the size and strength he's supposed to have, ''Futurama'' is full of aliens that are way tougher and scarier than Bigfoot.
-->'''Ndnd''': Aww, look at his adorable little feet!


Added DiffLines:

* BigDamnHeroes: DoubleSubverted; right as the Omicronians have lost patience and are about to take Fry's lower horn, Bigfoot smashes his way onto the scene in what looks to be a badass rescue... but they're all bigger and tougher than him and consider him a cute critter. Bigfoot then makes a show of yelling and throwing leaves around, as he is a dumb animal. In the end his appearance does save Fry, but instead by getting Lrrr to realize something about himself.


Added DiffLines:

* NoSell: The ranger tries to tranquilize the Omicronians when they stand between him and Bigfoot, but the dart bounces harmlessly off of Lrrr's skin.
