* BrickJoke: In "[[Recap/FuturamaS2E19TheCryonicWoman The Cryonic Woman"]], a 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. Turns out he's right, though a measly thousand years won't cut it.

Added DiffLines:

* AntiNihilist: The concept is mercilessly mocked. When Fry ponders of meaning of existence after seeing the universe end, Farnsworth disdainfully mutters "some hogwash about the human spirit."


Added DiffLines:

* LonelyAtTheTop: Leela turned Planet Express into a lucrative company...but she has no one to share it with, and its implied her bitterness toward Fry prevented her from forming any meaningful relationships.


Added DiffLines:

* ShownTheirWork: Aside from the more comical science-fiction moments, the writers understood the life-cycle of the universe.

Neither of these are realistic enough to be Surprisingly Realistic Outcome and Up To Eleven isn't a trope anymore.

** Sure a time machine that can only go to the future will prevent the traveler from messing up with the past, it also means that the traveler is unable to return to their own timeline as well.
** Getting rid of a MadScientist who had no idea how to run a delivery company, and putting someone even a little more business savvy turns Planet Express into a major shipping company.

* HitlersTimeTravelExemptionAct: Having passed through the previous universe and working their way through the new one, Farnsworth decides to pay a stop in 1930s Germany and cap Hitler with a laser gun. This appears to have no measurable affect on their future a 1000 years later from what little we see, but we never learn the ramifications because Farnsworth trips and overshoots their landing. On repeat 2, he's too lazy to stop and tries to shoot Hitler from the window, but misses and hits Eleanor Roosevelt.
