Draco In Leather Pants is for when the fandom ignores a villain or Jerkass characters less savory traits in favor of woobifying them or portraying them as nicer than they are in canon, not just for villains that are popular.


* DracoInLeatherPants: Some fans are fond of the Robot Devil, likely given being voiced by Dan Castellaneta and his musical ability.

* SignatureScene: The Robot Devil's song is a very popular moment in the series as a whole, and definitely the part people remember most in this episode. It was also a popular choice for [=AMVs=] in the earlier days of internet memes.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Bender finds a religion which helps him to sincerely become a better person, overcome an addiction that nearly got him and his friends killed, he TookALevelInKindness and he didn't try to force his friends into his religion (merely inviting them, which they do rather than politely decline). For this, he is harassed by his co-workers, his friends avoid him then go out of their way to pressure him into giving it up and his employment is called into question; [[DesignatedVillain all because Bender becomes religious]].
** In fact, the closest Bender comes to doing anything obnoxious or bad is making the crew sit through an excruciatingly long and tedious robot Grace before they eat dinner... that HE invited them to and likely paid for.
* ValuesDissonance: For many Christians and other religious people (a Christian member of the show's team walked off the set due to disapproval of the episode), the episode mocks organized religion and seems to imply a person is better off without it or leaving if they are part of one.
** Even among non-religious viewers, Bender never embodies the worst traits associated with organized religion (like being too preachy, [[HolierThanThou judgmental]], [[HidingBehindReligion hypocritical]], or pressuring everyone to convert), but just becomes [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace a little over-friendly]], which is far from the worst thing someone can be (especially [[TokenEvilTeammate him]]). In fact, given the rise of religious extremism in recent decades, and it can feel like the show is criticizing organized religion for ''all the wrong reasons''.
