1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: 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?]]
2	* 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]], later in the episode though, he does show that he's upset that his old home is gone.
3	* FridgeLogic:
4	** In different time zones around the world, everyone would be having New Years at ''their own'' local midnight, not at the same time.
5	** 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?
6	*** Maybe they screwed up the leap year calculation?
7	* HarsherInHindsight:
8	** The line about the Stop & Drop Suicide booths being "Americans' favorite suicide booth since 2008" becomes a bit wince-worthy in light of 2008's economic meltdown and the invention of an actual suicide machine in the same year.
9	** 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/FuturamaS3E4TheLuckOfTheFryrish The Luck of the Fryrish]]", "[[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.
10	* HilariousInHindsight:
11	** Bender trying to commit suicide already CrossesTheLineTwice, but when [[Recap/FuturamaM4IntoTheWildGreenYonder later]] [[Recap/FuturamaS2E1ISecondThatEmotion episodes]] show him surviving worse injuries than what the Suicide Booth tried to inflict upon him, as well as "[[Recap/FuturamaS6E6LethalInspection Lethal Inspection]]" revealing that he should have had a BodyBackupDrive that would have rendered the suicide attempt pointless, it just gets even funnier.
12	** The part where Bender tells Fry that he doesn't both of them to be seen as {{robosexual}}s becomes more amusing when both characters have engaged in brief romantic human[=/=]robot relationships in later episodes: Fry with Creator/LucyLiu's [[Recap/FuturamaS3E15IDatedARobot robot duplicate]], and Bender with the real Lucy Liu's head and [[Recap/FuturamaS6E4PropositionInfinity later Amy Wong]].
