Here's a joke that many people probably didn't fully understand: Near the end of "The Cryonic Woman," Fry finds himself outside of Loew's Qaddafi's Mann's Grauman's Chinese Theater. This is a real place, an old-fashioned movie palace built by a guy called Grauman, which was originally known as Grauman's Chinese. But in the 1970s it was bought by a cinema chain owned by a guy called Mann, and he changed the name to Mann's Chinese. Some people protested this, saying it was like changing Carnegie Hall to Mann Hall. The place has since been bought by someone else. Assumedly it will in the future be bought by someone in the Qaddafi/Gaddafi family, and then by Loew's (a real-life cinema chain).

Cohen noted in one of the commentaries that they never used the same kind of telecommunication device in subsequent episodes.
And listen to the fainting Martian moderator, he's right. Leela needed to make Bender shut up, and quickly. The telephone was simply the closest thing handy.

umm, what? Farnsworth said he would like to meet Moose, the mutant, while stroking a moose antler. Sugests Farnsworth collects antlers, and the meeting would have a very unfortunate outcome for Moose. Personally I thought it was funnier that a guy looking like a moose was named Moose, and it's a reference to the comic "Archie something".

In the commentary for 'I Dated A Robot', someone points out a dirty joke as Fry leaves the shop after getting his hands replaced. I don't get it. Is it the sign? What is it that's funny? Someone tell me!!!

"These new hands are great. I'm gonna break them in tonight."
"Breaking in new hands" is the dirty joke, just ask Wanker.

Proof is a measurement of alcohol-content in a drink. It's twice that of alcohol-percentage (volume), ie. 200-proof alcohol consist of 100% alcohol.
So Fry was simply asking how strong the drink was.

A lot of the "U.S. only" jokes go over my head. Like I didn't know who Al Sharpton (still not sure). And some of the location jokes I didn't get either, like the Atlanta episode.
