I, Roommate
Need Some Water?: If the Professor lives in the Planet Express
building, as shown in 1ACV01, then why is the water consumption so low?
The Climbing Car: When Fry changes the TV to the Monster Truck
Wrestling, one of them has somehow got on top of the ropes around the
ring. How did it do that?
Nice Fingers: Why is it that Calculon spins the golden nut to get it
on the female robot's finger, when her fingers clearly have no threading?
Solution by mtvcdm - They had threading to me.
Calculon Coma?: How could the human think that Calculon is in
a coma, when a robot clearly cannot be?
Hot Smoking Bender!: How does Bender smoke, given that he is
a robot?
Oops, Wrong Number: Why are the numbers of the Robot Arms Apartments
in binary? It is criminally inefficient in the use of paint and time
spent painting it, and given the level of bureaucracy shown in "How
Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back", most certainly would not be allowed.
Solution by Kyle Williams:
Sure, efficiency is nice, but it is not a requirement for everyday life. Only the Central Bureaucracy really cares about efficiency.
This Room is Tiny!: Why is Bender's apartment so small. While
it may be just sufficient for Bender and Fry, many robots, like the
Crushinator, would be unable to fit into the room, which is clearly
discriminatory. Also, how is there a TV Area and a Breakfast Nook in
the apartment, given there is no TV, and no food storage or cooking
area?
Partial solution by Kyle Williams:
There are probably other apartments that are bigger to suit other robots.
The Secret Closet: Fry asked where he could hang his clothes
in the apartment, so why didn't Bender tell him about the closet, even
if he didn't want Fry undressing? Also, why didn't he tell fry about
the closet during his tour of the apartment?
Lights Out!: After Bender turns the light off in the apartment, the
room should clearly be pitch-black, as there is no light source. However, it is
still quite easy to see for some reason.
Solution by mtvcdm - Cartoons do that sometimes: have some light in the
scene so the people watching see what's going on.
Plasma's Rebuttal - If "it's a cartoon" was an accepted excuse, all
of these nitpicks could be "disproved" in that way. Why can't they at
least just do the old eyes-only thing?
Magic Carpet: How could Fry's head hit the ceiling simply because
Bender added carpeting. Even if there was that much carpeting, why isn't
it there later in the episode?
Solution by Kyle Williams:
Bender got rid of the carpeting before he and Fry started looking for apartments.
Size Matters: There is no way that Fry and Bender take up 1.5
cubic metres out of the room's 2 cubic metres. In the shots of them
in the apartment, they don't even come close to taking up half the volume
of the room, not to mention three quarters.
Amazing Architecture: While an intentional joke, how in the
world DID Bender fall down, or up, or whatever, the stairs of the weird
apartment?
Ouch, Spiky!: How could they make a comfortable beanbag in the
new apartment by crushing a chair in a garbage bag? Wouldn't it be all
hard and sharp?
My Mummy!: How did the professor know that the mummy he gave
Fry was teryaki flavour?
Solution by Kyle Williams:
When the Professor got the mummy he was told that teriyaki sauce was added during the mummification.
Stop Interfering!: If the TV problems stop when Bender is out
of the room, how is it that everyone on the floor has problems, when
Bender is not close enough to interfere?
Squish!: Leaving Fry's apartment, Amy slipped in the doorway
on a banana peel, then Fry closes the door. Amy does not move after
falling, so wouldn't Fry have closed the door so that it crushed Amy?
Security!: When Bender returns to his apartment, he simply opens the
door, it has no locks. Isn't that a bit unsafe?
Solution by caped_avenger: What is there to steal from Bender's apartment?
Plasma's Rebuttal: Well, in later episodes there is quite a bit to steal from
there, and there doesn't seem to be any locking mechanism at all, so I doubt he
only started locking it now that they do have things.
How Wasteful!: Also when Bender returns to his apartment, the
light is on. Hasn't Bender ever heard of not wasting electricity?
Un-Alcoholism: Without drinking any alcohol to fuel himself,
why does Bender simply act drunk? Without fuel, shouldn't he simply
stop functioning?
Sober Driving: Why does Leela beg Bender not to get behind the wheel
without some kind of alcoholic beverage? Bender doesn't have access to a car!
Solution by mtvcdm - Well, in later episodes, like When Aliens attack, we
see that he did have access. Although it's a moot point, since we saw him walking.
Frozen Antenna: Why would they have to put Bender's antenna
on ice to reattach it? It is made of metal!
Nice Closet: Why is it that the closet has multiple rooms? Also,
why is it so big?
