Corrected entry: In one scene Bender mentions that there is a chapter of his old fraternity, Epsilon Rho Rho. The letters on the house are "ERR". However, the Greek Letter for Rho is a "P".
Anthology of Interest I - S2-E20
Corrected entry: In the third tale of interest, with Stephen Hawking, after Fry doesn't go into the cryogenic tube, Bender, Leela and the Professor all appear, side by side. However, until Fry goes into the future, none of these knew each other (Bender was about to kill himself, Leela was happy working at the cryogenics lab and the professor had just lost his crew), so why would they be together?
Correction: The 'Tales of Interest' are fantasies, which are shown not even to have happened in the first place - they are fantasies in the Professor's fantasy.
My Problem With Popplers (a.k.a. The Problem With Popplers) - S2-E18
Corrected entry: Leela licks each of her four fingers only once but the sound of licking a finger plays five times.
Correction: She licks her thumb twice.
Corrected entry: Bender couldn't have flushed his chest down the toilet, it wouldn't have fitted. (00:11:50)
Correction: We never see Bender flush his chest. His chest could have been broken down into component parts that would fit and then reassembled. It might be unlikely that he put himself back together correctly (since he said he threw away his instruction manual), but flushing his chest down the toilet is not out of theoretical possibility.
Corrected entry: In "Space Pilot 3000", the professor has his old crew's career chips in an envelope. However, in this episode, the old Planet Express ship is still in the hive. A) How would the professor know that they had dies so soon and B)How would he get the chips back?
Correction: The chips in the envelope belong to a third crew. The label on the envelope refers to the contents of the stomach of a 'space wasp', and the crashed ship we see is in a hive of bees. There are obviously other crashed Planet Express ships and dead crews out there. As to how the Professor got the chips out of the space wasp.
The Honking - S3-E1
Corrected entry: When we see Bender become a 'were-car' in one shot we see a bumper sticker on him saying 'If you can read this, I've run you over.' But it's not there for any other shots.
Correction: For Bender to become a Were-Car his body mass must increase about eightfold. So, he can form things (wheels, engines, seats, seatbelts and so on) from nothing. If he can create them spontaneously, he can destroy them just the same way.
Corrected entry: The parachute Fry opens just before he hits the ground disappears when he starts riding the ball away.
Correction: Just prior to riding the ball, Fry is covered by about 9-12 balls. In that time, he could have cut the parachute lines.
The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings - S5-E16
Corrected entry: When Fry is playing the Holophoner on the balcony and Leela finds him, he writes down some musical notation which follows standard modern notation, but is totally incorrect for what he has just been playing.
Correction: Don't forget Fry is stupid and will play something else.
Corrected entry: Bender didn't get affected by the magnet on the can opener. Normally he gets crazy and sings show tunes. (00:01:10)
Correction: Magnets on his head only affect his inhibition, thus allowing him to sing showtunes; they don't automatically make him sing. The can opener opening his head was probably significant shock to distract him from singing.
Corrected entry: Leela told Fry not to tell anyone his real identity, but she shouts out his name when they are in the museum.
Correction: She's under stress and she forgets. It happens.
Corrected entry: Bender doesn't have a sense of taste. This is mentioned a lot. However, it creates a few problems. Firstly, in 'A Fishful of Dollars,' he eats the anchovies and finds them disgusting. Secondly, he says in 'The Sting' that after Fry is dead no one will make waffles just how he likes them. And thirdly, he says how good Elzar's robot food tastes in 'Bender gets Made.'
Correction: This was meant to demonstrate that Bender himself has a great distaste for a lot of things, and people. Primarily, that he likes to cause a problem even when no problem exists. The fact that he likes the one guy's cooking is another aspect of his mind, wherein it demonstrates how he respects and adores the man, and thus his food.
Corrected entry: Bender is a Bending Unit, but on the [pi]kea instructions, there is a clear picture of Bender on the "what you need" section. Why would a bending unit be required? He does all the sawing and screwing, etc. but no bending and in the first episode he claims that all he can do is bend and that is all he is worth.
Correction: We don't get to see the entire process of putting the pIkea item together, it is possible some bending was required. Besides, by this stage Bender has gained a personality and has learned self-worth, ambition and pride. The Pikea instructions provide for a bender unit like the one from 'How Hermes Rewuesitioned His Groove Back', after Bender's CPU was reduced to that of a bender unit and nothing else, a mindless automaton who could not think for himself.
Corrected entry: During the flashback, Fry's shadow can be seen along with Nibbler's when the chair falls over. Fry didn't go back in time until "The Why of Fry", so anything that happened before this episode should only show Nibbler's shadow.
Correction: Not true, it was always Fry who caused himself to go into the future. Even though it doesn't happen until later on in the series, he still travelled back in time to the beginning of the series.
Corrected entry: When Leela first squeezes the toy Fry leaves her, you can see that eye that pops out is blue. Later on (when she breaks it) the eye has changed to red.
Correction: Remember, most of this episode is actually a dream that was created by Leela while she was in a coma. Things changing around suddenly is quite common.
Corrected entry: When Leela and Fry find Bender in the sewer, he doesn't have his head on right and one of his legs and an arm is attached in the wrong place. He says that he can't put himself together properly because he threw away his instruction manual. In every other episode he can reattach his head, legs or arms with no problem.
Correction: However in every other episode Bender is only reattaching one specific limb or his head - in the sewer he had to reattach all four limbs plus his head, a much harder proposition.
Corrected entry: Master Ffnog could not have possibly put on that full body suit and connected it up to the TV in the time that elapsed from when he talked to Leela to when the bell rang to start the battle.
Correction: The robot probably has some basic AI of its own, enough certainly to walk into the ring and punch Bender, giving Fnog time to get into the suit and control him for a real show of pummeling and skill.
Corrected entry: Whenever Bender gets hit by something he screams in pain. That would be kind of impossible since Bender is a robot and robots don't feel pain.
Correction: It's a thousand years in the future. How do you know robots can't be programmed to react to being hit in the way Bender does? He might even be programmed to feel 'pain', the same way he is programmed to feel greed, friendship, and so on.
Corrected entry: Blurnsball in this episode isn't played at all like the Blurnsball in the episode "Fear of a Bot Planet" except for a few similarities (like the ball on an elastic cord).
Correction: Blurnsball is shown to be an extremely complicated game (by our standards anyway) as there is so much that can happen. It's quite possible that every game played is completely different in terms of what happens. In "Fear of a Bot Planet" for example, the ball is "locked" and multiball is engaged (like in a pinball machine). In this episode, the ball isn't locked, so none of that would happen. It seems to be pure luck for the ball to be locked in that way (and presumably the scooter driving round the track is a sort of tradition for that kind of score/point).
Corrected entry: After Fry buys all the 20th Century items, he puts in a Sir Mix-A-Lot CD, the song (Baby Got Back) started playing, but no one pressed Play on the stereo. Considering this is an antique 20th century stereo, I'm guessing you'd have to press play.
Correction: Not necessarily; I have a CD player I bought in 1999 that automatically starts playing as soon as you put the CD in.
A Bicyclops Built for Two - S2-E13
Corrected entry: After everyone finds out that Alkazar is really a shapeshifter, Leela makes a comment about him having a small you-know-what. At that point it shows everyone at the wedding "Whooing", and Fry does it about 1 or 2 seconds after everyone stops. However, his mouth doesn't move when this happens.
Correction: Fry's mouth doesn't move because it's the professor going longer than everyone else, and the animation of the professor matches.
Correction: And a thousand years in the future, after alien invasions have laid waste to the entire planet (twice.), the ice caps have melted and refrozen, and our grasp of history is such that we think that the moon was colonized by Jackie Gleeson and the crew of a whaling vessel, that little-known fact has been lost. Go figure.
