early futurama is fun because all these scenes of pre-character-development fry and leela being delightfully stupid are ten times as funny when you think about how Super Married they're gonna be someday
Anyone ever think about the psychological ramifications of the shit that happens in Futurama on its characters?
TW: mention of suicide, survivor's guilt, psychology, war, hostage situations, mental illness, blood, violence

Anyone ever think about all of the psychological ramifications of the shit that happens in Futurama on its characters? I'll use the example of S04E12 "The Sting": Fry fucking dies because of something Leela does, and she effectively tries to kill herself because, not only does she feel insanely guilty and blame herself for his death, she also loved him, and keeps hallucinating that he's still alive (which also ties into the pseudo-suicide plan, in which she would consume three spoonfuls of royal jelly, which would put her into a permanent sleep state in which she could dream that she was together with Fry and that he was alive). And after *all of that*, it turns out that *Leela* was the one that got stung, and it was all a coma dream, and that Fry had been by her side the entire time doing whatever he could to make sure she pulled through. Like, that's some *deeply* traumatic shit.
There's plenty of other examples too:
S02E09 "A Bicyclops Built for Two" (Leela thinks she's found the last living member of her alien race and then it turns into a Married... with Children parody and it eventually turns out he's just a shapeshifting con man who's been gaslighting her and multiple others).
S02E17 "War is the H-Word" (Fry and Bender enlist in the Army as part of a scheme to get 5% off gum, and instead get drafted into a war on an alien planet where they both almost end up KIA and Bender specifically is horribly wounded and gets a bomb planted in his chest by his own military in order to subjugate the planet).
S03E11 "Insane in the Mainframe" (Bender and Fry get forced by an insane robot to aid him in robbing a bank, and are then committed to a robot mental institution where Fry ends up being conditioned to believe that he's a robot. Fry fully believes this with every fiber of his being by the end of their stay in the institution, and only snaps out of it when he gets cut by aforementioned robot in a hostage situation and finds out that he bleeds blood and not oil).
Hell, even S01E01 "Space Pilot 3000" (Fry "accidentally" ends up ~1000 years in the future, where everyone he ever knew is dead, *which he's overjoyed about*). There's still multiple other examples I could list. Like, *a lot*.

Favorite Episodes From Tv Shows: Futurama (Season 2) Episode 13: A Bicyclops Built For Two:
“ After learning that there is a second Cyclops still in existence, Leela travels back to her home World to ensure that her species does not go extinct (IMDb Description). “
Here’s an episode that made me laugh A LOT. This feels like two episodes in one, to be honest. First, you have the Internet part, which is hilarious. Then, they switch things up, but the humour remains. This episode is all about Leela, aka one of my favorite characters of the show. Hilarious moments and some sad moments too.
Leela is played by Katey Sagal, who played Peg Bundy on Married with Children. In Season 2 Episode 9, A Bicyclopes Built for Two, Leela dresses virtually identically to Peg.

Futurama Fridays - S2 E9 “A Bicyclops Built for Two” Leela finds out she might not be the last of her race, but only if she wants to put up with a slovenly jerk. #Futurama
Leela’s the focus for this episode exploring her tragic backstory.
SUMMARY
The Professor (Billy West) finally connects to the internet, which is a giant virtual-reality world that feels vaguely Tron-ish. Amy (Lauren Tom) and Leela (Katey Sagal) go into a chat room where they both intimidate all of the men by virtue of being actual women. Later, they join Fry (West), Bender (John DiMaggio),…
