Line 15:
{{quote| '''Fry:''' You can't lose hope just because it's hopeless. You gotta hope more, then put your fingers in your ears and go "Blah blah blah blah!" }}
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: {{spoiler|Pickles, the oracle from "Law and Oracle" who gives Fry false prophecies relating to Bender so that he could drink some strong malt liquor and suffer brain damage.}}
* [["I Know What We Can Do!" Cut]]: In "Time Keeps On Slipping", so the cut is a [[Time Skip]].
{{quote| '''Hermes:''' "[[Noodle Implements|I don't even know how this was supposed to work!]]"}}
* [[I'll Kill You!]]: Plenty of times.
* [[IllI'll Take Two Beers, Too!]]: Bender.
* [[I'm Not Afraid of You]]: Won't work on Robot Santa.
* [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: It's implied that ''eating people'' is legal.
{{quote| '''Joseph "Fishy Joe" Gilman''': "After all, the only reason we don't eat people is 'cause they taste lousy."}}
** And, of course, "Fry and the Slurm Factory" combined this with a [[Shout -Out]]:
{{quote| '''Fry''': "Oh my god! What if the secret ingredient is people!"<br />
'''Leela''': "No, there's already a soda like that, [[Soylent Green|Soylent Cola]]."<br />
Line 82:
* [[I Would Say If I Could Say]]
* [[Iron Lady]]: Parodied with [[Da Chief]] in "Law & Oracle".
* [[Ironic Echo]]: Several examples, but a very prominent use occurs in "A Head In The Polls" when Fry realizes just how much of a bastard Nixon truly is and vows never to vote for him. Nixon's response? {{spoiler|"Like one vote ever really mattered"}}, a harmless phrase that was used as a minor gag earlier in the episode. This also crosses over with [[Wham! Line]].
* [[Jerkass]]: Bender on a good day. Zapp Brannigan is even worse, and far more smug, and far more sexist.
* [[Jackie Robinson Story]]: Leela with Blernsball.
Line 142:
** Upon completion of the [[Fon Fon]]-Rubok ceremony in "The Beast With A Billion Backs", Amy joyously declares "Oh, Kif, this is just like a movie with this happening in it!"
* [[Lego Genetics]]: The Decopodians contain parts of every known marine animal on earth, as well as every Yiddish stereotype imaginable, all wrapped up in the body of a six-foot-tall humanoid lobster.
* [[Least -Common Pizza Topping]]: Causes a [[Logic Bomb]] to go off and make the robot waiter self-destruct when Fry tries to order it at Cosmic Ray's Pizzeria.
* [[Leonardo Da Vinci]]: In "The Duh-Vinci Code".
* [[Leotard of Power]]: Leela when she became a superhero.
Line 151:
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Bender in regards to Fry:
{{quote| '''Bender''': "You own one pair of clothes and you're not taking them off while I'm around."}}
* [[Linked -List Clue Methodology]]: Parodied in "The Duh Vinci Code" with Leela [[Lampshade Hanging|questioning the Professor's clue deductions]], only to be angrily shouted down.
* [[Literary Agent Hypothesis]]: Deconstructed in "Yo Leela Leela".
* [[Living Crashpad]]: Bender has done this to Fry several times.
Line 170:
** After Zoidberg's slinky gets straightened by Bender, he tries to coil it back up and set it walking down a pile of books. It flops over and bursts into flames.
* [[The Magnificent]]: The water people's rulers.
* [[Make -Out Point]]: In the robot [[Slasher Movie]].
* [[Mass Hypnosis]]: '''ALL GLORY TO [[The Hypnotoad]]!'''
* [[Matrix Raining Code]]: How robots "interface".
Line 178:
** The Slurm episode also parodies this with Soylent Cola, the taste of which "varies from person to person".
** Also Soylent Green. Yes, [[Soylent Green|that]] Soylent Green. Everyone is quite aware of [[I'm a Humanitarian|what it's made of]], no one cares though.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: A number of the cast's names are [[Shout -Out|ShoutOuts]] or [[Genius Bonus|Genius Bonuses]] to some degree.
** Philip J. Fry himself, named for the dearly departed [[Phil Hartman]].
** Leela's full name (Turanga Leela) is a direct reference to Olivier Messiaen's famous ''Turangalîla Symphony''.
Line 196:
{{quote| '''''Scary Door'' intro''' You're taking a vacation from normalcy. The setting; a weird motel with a bed that is stained with mystery. And there's also some mystery floating in the pool. Your key card may not open the exercise room because someone smeared mystery on the lock.}}
* [[Mermaid Problem]]
* [[Mile -High Club]]: An inversion in "The Duh-Vinci Code". While searching for a tomb underneath Rome, Fry asks Leela if she wants to join the "Mile Deep Club". She consents but they're interrupted by the Professor.
* [[Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds]]: In one "What if" story, Fry destroys the entire universe with a time paradox.
* [[Mind Screw]]: "The Sting". And how!
