Miscellany of Bender's Big Score

This article is about the trivia, the quotes, the references, etc. appearing in Bender's Big Score. It does not, however, include DVD information, character listings and cast information.

It is a separated article due to the fact that the amount of information to deal with in a trivia manner is huge compared to a regular episode.

The machine language time code
The code appearing in the film is as follows; 001100 010010 011110 100001 101101 110011

As you can tell, it is mirrored over the first three columns over to the last three and inverted over the first two rows to the last three. If you remove the last three columns, you can tell that the first three columns are actually just the numbers 1 to 6 in binary.

According to the commentary, it was originally intended to be the lottery numbers from some point in 2000. But it was supposed to be mirrored when Fry read it on his butt.

Allusions

 * The Daily Show
 * Jon Stewart's head is seen in a jar at the Head Museum.
 * Family Guy
 * Fry hangs up a Family Guy calendar with 12 laughs a year.
 * An Inconvenient Truth
 * Al Gore says as he is flying through one of the remote-controlled solid gold Death Stars that "finally, I get to save the world with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide shows."
 * South Park
 * Cartman's head is seen in a jar at the Head Museum.
 * Star Wars
 * The magnifier Farnsworth uses to zoom in on Fry's butt has the sound of a lightsabre.
 * The Scammers have bought several remote-controlled solid gold Death Stars.

Continuity
There are several references to earlier episodes of Futurama. Following episodes are mentioned;
 * Space Pilot 3000
 * Bender flies by when Fry is frozen and destroys New York.
 * Bender mistakes the frozen Fry for the one he is hunting.
 * Bender meets Michelle and the boyfriend she drove off with just before Fry got frozen.
 * Fry touches his own butt when he wants the wallet in his own frozen self, his frozen self wakes up, and he continues to hide inside the tube to 7.95 years later.
 * The Cryonic Woman
 * When Fry (as Lars Fillmore) decides to freeze himself (again), he uses the tube with his girlfriend in (which is at 254 years at the time), he changes the date for the freeze to 990 years, revealing that otherwise the events of that episode would not have happened.
 * Thus revealing that events of that episode took place in 3002.
 * Roswell that Ends Well
 * Fry tells Farnsworth that they went back in time to Roswell, which Farnsworth cannot remember (and also that it proves nothing).
 * Jurassic Bark
 * Seymour Asses is seen several times, and it is revealed that they still keep his fossilised version at Planet Express.
 * When the building crashes with Fry in it, Seymour is thus fossilised. Which is also important to know why this must take place in 2012, because Farnsworth discovers in the episode that Seymour lived 12 more years after Fry left him - thus dying in 2012.

Goofs

 * At the nude beach, Amy is briefly drawn with an extra arm.
 * The Nobel Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize not given in Stockholm, Sweden, but in Oslo, Norway.
 * At Applied Cryogenics, the table in the tube room is at one point seen with a computer monitor on, it did not have in Space Pilot 3000, and nor does it have it on other times in the show/film.
 * At the wedding, as Farnsworth and Leela walk across the aisle, the man in the background to the left's eyes seems to have been displaced.
