** Bender also calls Fry and Farnsworth out on wanting to stay in an AmazonianBeauty paradise when he wanted to stay in the previous Terminator-esque one and sends them further into time. Unfortunately, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the Amazons had developed the technology the trio had needed to get back to their own time and Bender had gotten them out of there before the Professor could learn it]]. [[spoiler:Even worse, that jump to them to the end of all life on Earth]].

* RidiculouslySuccessfulFutureSelf: Leela turns the mediocre Planet Express into a massive enterprise after 40 years.

** When the Professor trips over [[spoiler: and sends himself, Fry and Bender again to the year 10000]], Bender says "Hand over the keys [[MrMagoo Magoo]]!!"

* ThatManIsDead: Used for a quick (If somewhat morbid) joke at the end.

* FreezeFrameBonus: When Fry losses the birthday card the first time the machine sets off, [[spoiler: the old Leela from the year 3050 is slightly visible]]. It serves as a very subtle instance of {{foreshadowing}}.

* SceneryPorn.

** On the year 10,000 there's a parody of the climactic final scene of the original ''[[Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968 Planet of the Apes]]'' when Fry discovers the buried Statue of the Liberty... alongside the version from the Apes, the birds, the cows and the slugs.

* RidiculouslySuccessfulFuture: Leela turns the mediocre Planet Express into a massive enterprise after 40 years.

** In 50 Million AD, the time machine lands in a Lady Land where a ''backwards'' time machine is present. But Bender, out of spite of being denied staying in 10 Million AD, activates the time machine again.

* LadyLand: Earth in the year 50 million.

* ApocalypseHow: Many versions of this trope, with a new society emerging from the ashes of the last one anytime Fry, Bender and the Professor landed further away into the future, capping it off with the year 1 billion, when all life is extinct and the Earth is a barren wasteland.

** The year 5 million features parodies of the Eloi and Morlocks from ''Literature/TheTimeMachine''.

* ThatManIsDead: Used for a quick (If somewhat morbid) joke at the end.

Fry is sidetracked from his date with Leela when Professor Farnsworth ropes him and Bender into testing his new invention, a TimeMachine that only goes forward. However, an accident causes the machine to go much farther ahead than a simple ten seconds. Will Fry EVER make in time for his date?

* ApocalypseHow: Many versions, caping with all life on Earth extinct on the year 1 billion.

* BodySponge: Implied when the women of the year 50 million plan to wash Fry and Farnsworth without using their hands.
* BrickJoke: In "[[Recap/FuturamaS2E19TheCryonicWoman The Cryonic Woman", another defrostee at the Applied Cryogenics building mentioned his theory that all of history is a cycle, so if you go far enough you'll eventually loop back into the past.
