History YMMV / FuturamaS1E1SpacePilot3000

* AlternativeCharacterInterpriation: Fry's celebration of being hired by Farnsworth as a delivery boy for the Planet Express Crew, despite the whole plot being kicked off by him not wanting to be one after his old life. Is he ComicallyMissingThePoint? Does he realize that, seeing as it's an intergalactic service, it'll certainly be different and potentially more exciting than his old job? Or did he just figure [[KnowWhenToFoldEm he'd quit while he was ahead due to the crazy day he had?]]

** Fry's delighted reaction to realizing that everybody and everything he knew in the 20th century has gone (since he thought they didn't seem to like, care, or even respect him) seems much harsher when subsequent episodes such as "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E4LuckOfTheFryish Luck of the Fryish]]", "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E24ColdWarriors Cold Warriors]]" and "[[Recap/FuturamaS7E23GameOfTones Game of Tones]]" have shown that his family actually did love him and were worried about him when he went missing.

** Michelle dumps Fry On New Year's Eve with her new boyfriend ''sitting right next to her'' in a taxi. But in [[Recap/FuturamaS2E19TheCryonicWoman "The Cryonic Woman"]] we find out that [[LaserGuidedKarma the boyfriend dumped]] ''[[LaserGuidedKarma her]]'' at their college graduation after using her just to pay through law school.
** This isn't the only time that [[Recap/FuturamaS6E7TheLatePhillipJFry Fry gets thrown into the far future away from his loved ones]].
** One of the stations in the New New York tubeway system is given as "J.F.K., Jr. Airport". After the real-life John F. Kennedy, Jr. died when his private plane crashed, the line was replaced with "Radio City Mutant Hall" (though the original line can still be heard on the full-episode animatic that appears on ''Futurama'' volume one DVD).
* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Fry reveals he always wanted a robot for a friend; Bender is actually cool with it, but doesn't want anyone else to think they're "robo-sexuals". More than a decade later in "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E4PropositionInfinity Proposition Infinity]]", robo-sexual marriage is legalized; a few years after that in real life, same-sex marriage is legalized in the U.S.
* HilariousInHindsight:
** During Fry's [[HumanPopsicle cryogenic freeze]] [[ProgressiveEraMontage montage]], the "alien invasions" that destroy Old New York, and presumably the whole planet, was actually Bender being chased by Swedish Air Force after stealing a Nobel Prize in 2308 in [[Recap/FuturamaM1BendersBigScore Bender's Big Score]].
** Coupled with {{Irony}}: While Fry barely fit in during the 20th century, he adjusts to the 31st century just fine, but it turns out in [[Recap/FuturamaS2E19TheCryonicWoman "The Cryonic Woman"]] his ex Michelle ''did'' fit in during the 20th century, she doesn't adjust to the 31st century at first.

* AngstWhatAngst: Fry takes all of five seconds to get over the fact that he's a thousand years in the future and all the people he knew are long since dead ("I'll never see any of them again... WOO-HOO!"). While entirely justified by both his [[DarkAndTroubledPast previous life sucking hard]] and him being a [[CloudCuckoolander crazy]] [[TheDitz buffoon]], him agonising about it in a few episodes makes it weird when it goes away after a while.

* FridgeLogic: If the cryotube was set for 1000 years ''exactly'', why would it freeze Fry on ''midnight'' of January 1st, 2000 and then wake him up in the ''morning'' on December 31st, 2999?
