Added DiffLines:

* AlmightyJanitor: For a package delivery service, they've been in the middle of some pretty important things. It's justified when you look at some of their individual members; the Professor is a major player in the scientific community, Amy comes from one of the richest families in the universe, and Fry [[spoiler: is vital to the Nibblonian's fight against the Brain Spawn.]]

* ForeignLanguageTirade: She'll often curse in Cantonese whenever she's angry. Since her voice actress actually speaks it, it's authentic too.

Added DiffLines:

* InformedAttribute: Despite the running jokes about him being TheStoner, he's never shown actually smoking or clearly high onscreen. Dwight does find a blunt of his once, and he is shown buying some CBD oil in "The Impossible Stream," so it can be assumed he only uses the stuff at home since he's a workaholic.

* OnlySaneByComparison: She's definitely a genius in comparison to Fry and the most functioning adult of the Planet Express crew with the least quirks or [[ComedicSociopathy sociopathic tendencies.]] But that doesn't stop her from having serious anger issues, obsessive grudges, or from coming off as socially awkward around people who aren't her co-workers. She also has a very poorly adjusted life outside of work, due to her FriendlessBackground and [[ParentalAbandonment not meeting her parents until adulthood.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SmellyFeetGag: Some episodes show that Leela, who typically wears boots a lot of the time, has some stinky feet on her, which she tries to deny.
-->'''Leela:''' Couldn't be me. [[BlatantLies I don't wear boots.]] See?\\
'''Fry:''' Eww. What smells like boot feet?

General clarification on works content


* StrawMisogynist: He has an infrequent habit of making incredibly sexist remarks, usually directed at Leela. For example, dismissing her demand to fly the ship when looking for his escaped gargoyle Pazuzu, because he wasn't "trying to find the quickest route to the mall".

Added DiffLines:

* CareerNotTaken: On several occasions, Zoidberg has expressed a desire to be a vaudeville performer and comedian instead of a doctor. In fact, his doctorate is in art history. Flashbacks show he was pressured into being a doctor by his family, though they also guilt-tripped him for "giving up on his dream" when he did become a doctor. He does occasionally get involved in the arts, but it usually doesn't work out for him (though [[AnatomicallyIgnorantHealing neither does being a doctor]]).

The Futurama Holiday Spectacular was a non canon episode


* AmbiguouslyBi: He didn't seem to mind when he thought President Truman was coming onto him in "Roswell That Ends Well". Later in "Beast With A Billion Backs" he seems rather...interested when describing men thrusting their sweaty naked bodies against [[ItMakesSenseInContext slices of delicious cake]]. On the other hand, he seems a bit disturbed by Barbados Slim's attraction to him and "Stench and Stenchibility" shows he has an attraction to females. [[invoked]][[FridgeBrilliance Of course, Zoidberg does have difficulty telling the difference between male and female humans.]]

Time on Earth was frozen for ten years between seasons.


* OlderThanTheyLook: By Season 7, Amy is 34, but looks exactly the same as she did in Season 1, when she was 21. This seems to be normal in the 31st century as we see people well into their hundreds looking like they're only 70. Ten years later, when she's 44, she still looks the same as she did when her children with Kif were born ''twenty years earlier!''

Added DiffLines:

* QuackDoctor: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zigzagged]] for Dr. Zoidberg. He claims to be an expert on humans but is clearly not. However, he is not conning; he truly thinks he knows about human anatomy, but he doesn't. As for whether or not he's a real doctor, that varies. In one episode, he claims he lost his medical degree in a volcano but might have been lying. In another, it's revealed that he's NotThatKindOfDoctor but another episode suggests that he's good at doctoring various species, just not humans.

Added DiffLines:

* RidiculouslyHighRelationshipStandards: Early in the series, Leela tends to only pursue men with [[InherentlyAttractiveProfession impressive jobs]] and a sense of authority and importance -- at one point, she daydreams about being married to a senator, and her actual boyfriends include a doctor and the mayor's aide. This may be due to her own insecurity (she's frequently rejected and ostracized for being a {{cyclops}}), as she says in "[[Recap/FuturamaS3E9TheCyberHouseRules The Cyber House Rules]]" that she wants to date someone she can be seen with without anybody judging him. While her reasons for turning down men make some sense (she turns down a man with an unsettlingly long lizard tongue, and she has pretty good reasons to turn down [[CasanovaWannabe Zapp]] and [[IdiotHero Fry]]), her coworkers chastise her for her tendency to turn down any man with an off-putting "quirk" ([[ParodiedTrope even if some of them are genuinely justified]]).
-->'''Amy''': You're too picky.
-->'''Fry''': Yeah. If you rule out every guy with a lizard tongue or a low I.Q. or an explosive violent temper, of course you're gonna be lonely.
-->'''Leela''': There's nothing wrong with having high standards.
