Fry is a 20th century pizza delivery boy who awakes to life at the dawn of the 31st century after being cryopreserved since the first few seconds of the year 2000. According to the Volume 1 Futurama DVD, he was born on August 9, 1974, in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, being 25 at the time of the first episode.

Philip J. Fry is a fictional example of an extratemporal character. His disappointments and incomprehension of the future and his joy at what the other characters find mundane in their native time are central elements of the show.

Character

A great source of humor in Futurama is Fry's lack of intelligence and unabashedly pathetic lifestyle. He lives with his best friend, Bender, rarely thinks more than five minutes into the future, frequently coming close to killing himself, and according to Leela, does the worst W. C. Fields impression that she's ever heard. Despite being somewhat unintelligent, he has occasionally shown clever thinking in more demanding situations. He enjoys watching TV shows that follow the form "the world's blankiest blank" and singing "Walking on Sunshine," though the only lyrics he appears to actually know are "I'm walking on sunshine", so he hums the rest. Bender, full name Bender Bending Rodríguez or designated Bending Unit 22, is a fictional robot character in the animated television series Futurama. ... Turanga Leela (often referred to simply as Leela) (born A.D. 2975) is the primary female character in the animated television series Futurama. ... W. C.

Reality television is a genre of television programming in which the fortunes of real life people (as opposed to fictional characters played by actors) are followed. ... Walking on Sunshine is a song written by Kimberley Rew for Katrina and the Waves second album, Walking on Sunshine. ...

Fry is mostly childlike and unpretentious. Although he is largely self-absorbed, he almost always does the right thing when confronted with the consequences of his actions. He sacrifices for his friends and usually has a good heart. His overall appearance contains his red hair that's styled into having two tufts of his hair spiked up in front, and his two cowlicks on the ball of his head (Note that Fry's cowlicks and ear are Matt Groening's initials, also seen and explained by Homer Simpson, in a Simpsons episode), a white t-shirt covered by an unzipped red jacket, blue jeans, and black "Nikes." Matt Groening mentions in a commentary that this outfit is based on James Dean's outfit in Rebel Without a Cause. Homer Simpson is also a character in the book and film The Day of the Locust. ... For the film, see James Dean (film). ... Rebel Without a Cause is a 1955 film directed by Nicholas Ray that tells the story of a rebellious teenager who comes to a new town, meets a girl, defies his parents, and faces the local high school bullies. ...

Due to his experiences with time travel, Fry has created a number of predestination paradoxes. In the episode "Roswell That Ends Well", Fry travels to July 8,1947. Much to Fry's disbelief, Enos, the man Fry thought was his grandfather, unconsciously indicated himself to be a closeted homosexual. Fry ended up killing Enos by accident, and, having incorrectly concluded that the now-deceased man's fiance Mildred could not possibly be his grandmother, proceeded to have sex with and impregnate her, thus becoming his own grandfather, much to his absolute horror. When later reminded of this by the Nibblonians, he proudly notes that he "did do the nasty in the pasty". Later, when sent back in time to stop himself from being frozen, he is convinced to freeze himself (originally, he was frozen by Nibbler), thus allowing him to create the original paradox of being his own grandfather. A predestination paradox, also called either a causal loop, or a causality loop and (less frequently) either a closed loop or closed time loop, is a paradox of time travel that is often used as a convention in science fiction. ...

Nibbler Nibbler is also a fictional character from the animated television series Futurama. ...

Because of his unique ancestry, Fry lacks the "delta brainwave", a normally-essential component of intelligence. Because of his "past nastification", as Nibbler puts it, Fry possesses a genetic anomaly that has caused him to assemble a random assortment of other brainwaves as a poor, albeit working, mind. This helps him save the universe twice from an evil race of flying brains, dubbed the "Brainspawn" ("The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" and "The Why of Fry"), as the Brainspawn's primary weapon, the intellect-draining "Stupefication Ray", suppresses the delta brainwave. Since Fry does not possess the wave, he cannot be rendered any less intelligent than he already is. “EEG” redirects here. ... The Day the Earth Stood Stupid is the seventh episode in season three of Futurama. ... The Why of Fry is the tenth episode in the fourth season of the animated television series Futurama. ...

Fry is the deciding factor in the galactic conflict between the Nibblonians and the evil Brainspawn. In fact, the Nibblonians were responsible for Fry being frozen: their sages foretold that he would be needed to defeat the Brainspawn in the 31st century, but he would naturally have died long before then, thus they had to freeze him in "The Why of Fry".

Timeline

Childhood

Named by his father for Phillips-head screwdrivers, he was the second and youngest child of his parents. He has one older brother, Yancy Fry. His mother ceded picking his name to his father, because she had picked what they had for dinner the previous night. When his father placed a mobile featuring a spaceship and planets in his crib (because he could not find one featuring nuclear weapons), his lifelong fascination with outer space began. Henry F.

Fry lived in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, based on the fact that he, Leela, and Bender left the ruins of the New York City Subway at the Newkirk Avenue Station while searching for Fry's old neighborhood in "The Luck of the Fryrish".

During his childhood, Fry was particularly active. He took part in breakdancing and basketball, during which he found a seven-leaf clover that gave him the luck to beat his brother at both. He later locked the clover away in the family's bomb shelter in the cover of a Breakfast Club soundtrack in the "Ronco Record Vault", with the combination "3", only to have the safe opened by Yancy in search of a record to play at his wedding, who stole the clover and gave it to his son, in memory of Fry and for luck in life.

Teenage years

As a teenager, Fry was a typical underachiever. During his time as a teenager, he claimed to have spent his entire school time playing video games. He particularly liked playing Space Invaders while listening to his Rush mix tapes and drinking Shasta - so much so that his eyes bled from overexposure, although this may not qualify as canon, as it is shown during the "Anthology of Interest II" episode. In an alternate reality shown by Professor Farnsworth's "what-if machine" (after Fry asked what life would be like if it were more like a video game), Fry's experience became useful when he was called upon to help General Colin Pac-Man (a play on the name of Colin Powell, the former U.S. Secretary of State) defend Earth from actual space invaders, a group of classic video game characters (such as Donkey Kong and Galaga) from the planet "Nintendu 64" who wanted quarters with which to do their laundry. Despite having played video games for the majority of his life, he admits to doing poorly on Space Invaders when faced with the last ship, exclaiming "I could never get the last one, my brother always got it for me!".

He has also had at least three heart attacks, implied to be caused by drinking excessive amounts of cola, over 100 cans per week, as mentioned in "Fry and the Slurm Factory". Presumably, he would have stopped at this point, but his drinking habits suggest he merely moved up to beer and Slurm. Heart attack redirects here. ... For other uses, see Cola (disambiguation). ... Fry and the Slurm Factory is the thirteenth episode and season finale of season one of Futurama. ...

Aside from his obsession with video games, he is an accomplished college dropout, dropping out after less than 3 weeks from Coney Island Community College, which appeared to be a fairground ride. In the future, however, this is only the equivalent of a high school dropout. In "The Cryonic Woman", he claims that his parents kept him out of public school, deeming it a waste of taxpayers' money.

Adult life

He had a very dirty life-style. He makes references to "mushrooms" growing on his bathmat or in his shower. "A Big Piece of Garbage" also shows more on his dirty lifestyle, although late in the series he begins to act in a cleanlier fashion, even to the extent of taking showers daily ("The 30% Iron Chef").

Future life

By 1999, Fry was dating a girl named Michelle and working as a delivery boy for Panucci's Pizza. On December 31, 1999, after being dumped by his girlfriend, who was shown in a car with another man and telling Fry that she had left his stuff on the sidewalk, he was delivering a pizza to a cryogenics lab when he realized that it was a prank order for "I.C. Wiener". He was leaning back in a chair while drinking a can of beer at the lab when the clock struck midnight; and just at that moment, Fry fell backwards into an open cryonic capsule that closed upon him and froze him. In the episode "The Why of Fry", it is revealed that Nibbler gave Fry the choice to push himself in to later fulfill his destiny to one day save the universe in the future. He remained frozen for 1000 years, during which time New York City was destroyed and rebuilt twice. He was defrosted on December 31, 2999, sometime during the day. (He did not defrost early; if the capsule interpreted "1,000 years" to refer to the average length of a year in the Gregorian calendar, Fry should have defrosted a few seconds after noon.) Needless to say, upon reawakening, he found himself in a world very different from the one he left at the turn of the 21st century. This article is about the year. ...

Trying to adjust to the 31st century, Fry gains the friendship of a cyclopic woman, Turanga Leela, and a bending robot named Bender. Together, they find Fry's closest living relative, the ancient Professor Hubert Farnsworth, who agrees to employ the three of them in his delivery business, Planet Express.

Now a fish-out-of-water, Fry often tries to recapture his past. He came into a large sum of money through a millennium's worth of interest accrued in a bank account (which had 93 cents in it before he was frozen) and furnished an apartment in a style befitting his twentieth-century lifestyle. He discovered the preserved corpse of his dog in "Jurassic Bark", and sought to clone him until Fry discovered that the dog had lived for almost a decade after Fry was frozen, revealed in a flashback that the dog in fact spent the rest of his life waiting for Fry to come back, Fry assumed that his dog went on with his life. Jurassic Bark is the seventh episode of season four of Futurama, airing November 17, 2002. ...

Although Fry seems to have aged, his personality still resembles that of a child of very low intelligence, and is often portrayed as being very slow to pick up on events that are happening, as well as common sense. However, he is very knowledgeable about certain subjects, such as video games, television; such as Star Trek and Star Wars, movies, and scary stories. He also appears to know some basics in science, he appeared to know that he wouldn't be imbibed, because he was solid in "My Three Suns". Fry was also very oblivious to the fact that Michelle was cheating on him. In "Space Pilot 3000", he told Leela that he was beginning to suspect that she was cheating on him. In "The Cryonic Woman", Fry shows Bender a picture of Michelle and "that ski instructor she was just friends with", a picture in which Fry is barely visible.

Alternate past

In Futurama: Bender's Big Score, Fry travels back in time to December 31, 1999 in order to escape an obedience-virus infected Bender, who had been ordered by three alien scammers to kill him. Fry also does so in grief, after discovering that Leela has become engaged to a man named Lars. is the 365th day of the year (366th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

After escaping Bender, Fry then decides to transport himself an hour into the past so that he could eat the pizza that was delivered to the cryogenics lab. Upon the second transport, Fry encounters his temporal double (from an hour ago) and then accidentally falls back into the cryogenic chamber while trying to take the non-future money from the frozen Fry already in the chamber. While the original Fry resumes life in the 31st Century, the duplicate Fry continues to live life in the 21st, resuming the same job in the year 2000 and moving into the apartment above Panucci's Pizza. He maintains relationships with his dog Seymour and his family during this period. However, it is revealed that he is deeply depressed with the fact that he will never see Leela again. Year 2000 (MM) was a leap year starting on Saturday (link will display full 2000 Gregorian calendar). ...

Deciding that he has to move on with his life, Fry gets a new job at the aquarium where he quickly bonds with an equally depressed rare toothed female narwhal named Leelu. However, after ten years, the aquarium decides to release Leelu back into the wild. Fry, thinking that Leelu would be unable to make it by herself after spending many years with him, decides to track her down in the Arctic Ocean. Eventually Fry finds Leelu and captures her, separating her from her mate. Seeing her distressed, he soon realizes his mistake and decides to do what would make Leelu the happiest by releasing her to be with her mate. Fry then returns to New York and says that all that matters to him is that Leelu is happy, as is Leela with Lars.

At this moment Bender, who has remained in the 21st Century and is still programmed to kill Fry, shoots a laser beam into Fry's apartment, causing an explosion and setting it on fire. The fire burns Fry's hair off and apparently damages his larynx, changing his voice. Fry, looking into a mirror, realizes that he is actually Lars, so he heads to the cryogenics lab, placing himself in Michelle's cryogenic chamber and sets himself to be unfrozen in 3002. The larynx (plural larynges), colloquially known as the voicebox, is an organ in the neck of mammals involved in protection of the trachea and sound production. ... The 31st century (Gregorian Calendar) comprises the years 3001-3100. ...

Fry/Lars gets a job at the Head Museum, where he meets Leela almost 6 years later. This would make him about 50. He eventually becomes engaged to Leela after dating her for a while, but at their wedding he learns that, as a temporal double of Fry created through time-travel, he will have to die in order to keep from creating a paradox. He cancels the wedding and later sacrifices himself to save Leela, in effect eliminating Fry's last existing copy as he was told would happen. Lars explains everything to Fry, Leela and everyone else in his video will, which is broadcast during his funeral. Look up paradox in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Friends

Bender

Fry initially meets Bender in the first episode of the series, where the two are waiting to use a suicide booth. Fry mistakenly believes the booth to be a phone booth, and the impatient Bender pushes them both in, hoping to go for a two-for-one. After Fry foiled Bender's attempt, the two formed a strong bond. As Bender puts it, "Of all the friends I've had, [Fry's] the first," revealed in "I, Roommate". It has been stated in a few episodes that Bender views Fry as a pet.

In "I, Roommate", after being forced out of living in the Planet Express office, Fry moves in with Bender, only to find that his apartment is as small as a closet. They then decide to rent another apartment together. However, because of the interference from Bender's antenna, the apartment's TV, and other TVs from other apartments in the same block couldn't get any reception. For the sake of friendship, Bender cuts off his antenna so that the TV will get reception. However, they soon decide to leave that apartment and move back into Bender's previous apartment, only to discover that the apartment's "closet" is actually the size of a typical living room, with plenty of space for Fry to comfortably live in.

Bender and Fry, while being a rather odd couple, have a strong relationship, and have sacrificed things for each other over the years of their friendship, such as fame, money, and even their own lives. Their friendship is tested when the fossilized remains of Seymour, Fry's old dog, are unearthed, and Fry spends time worrying about him instead of spending time with Bender in "Jurassic Bark". Bender eventually feels sympathetic for the loss of Fry's dog, and even willingly jumps into hot lava just to save his dog, after throwing him into the lava in the first place. Their friendship was also tested in "The Honking", when Bender is transformed into a were-car, doomed to kill his closest friend; however, Were-car Bender first attacks Leela, leading to jealousy on Fry's part. The situation returned to normal when Were-car Bender, offered his choice of victim by the original Were-car, proves slightly more eager to kill Fry than Leela, to Fry's great delight.

Seymour

Seymour was Fry's loyal and faithful dog. In 1997 while on a prank delivery, he finds an abandoned dog on the streets and names him Seymour (the prank name was Seymour Asses, possibly a reference to a similar prank call Bart made to Moe's Tavern in The Simpsons). After feeding the dog pizza, Seymour follows Fry who then decides to keep him. By 1998 he had taught Seymour to bark Walking on Sunshine, clean up, and wait for him after a delivery. Before Fry was frozen, Seymour attempted to prevent Fry leaving on his fateful New Year's Eve prank delivery. For the band, see 1997 (band). ...

He discovered Seymour's preserved corpse in "Jurassic Bark", and was eager to bring him back to life with the Professor's help, until he realized the dog lived twelve years after his disappearance. Thinking Seymour had lived a full life without him, Fry abandoned the project. In a flashback it is revealed that Seymour, like Hachikō, Greyfriars' Bobby or Odysseus' dog Argos, waited out his entire life for his master to come home, never leaving that spot or giving up hope.

However, it is later explained in the movie Futurama: Bender's Big Score that Seymour didn't waste his time waiting as a temporal double of Fry had stayed in the past and resumed his old lifestyle. It is also revealed that Seymour's death and subsequent preservation is a result of an explosion overcoming him after Bender, who was sent back in time to kill Fry, blew up Fry's apartment above Panucci's Pizza.

Love life

Amy Wong

Fry kisses Amy

Fry and Amy Wong have a short relationship in the episode "Put Your Head on My Shoulder". After spending time together, Fry and Amy recognize their commonalities, how they feel the same way about "junk, and stuff," that lead to a relationship. However, Fry quickly feels as though Amy is not giving him enough space, and decides to break it off. Unfortunately, before he can tell her, Dr. Zoidberg crashes Amy's hovercar, resulting in Fry's head having to be severed from his body and transplanted onto Amy's shoulder. In the later episode "Time Keeps on Slippin'", when Fry is attempting to remember what he did to make Leela marry him, it is suggested that perhaps he is a fantastic lover, which Amy quietly denies and Fry willingly concedes "I don't know what I'm doing.".

Turanga Leela

Scene of Anthology of Interest I, where Fry and Leela would have had sex if she were a little more impulsive.

Fry met Leela shortly after being defrosted when she was working as a career counselor at the cryogenics lab. Afraid of getting a career chip, which would doom him once again to a life as a delivery boy, implanted in his hand by Leela, he ran from her, but eventually befriended her after she abandoned her job as career counselor and joined Planet Express with Fry. Later on, Fry turned his attentions to Leela, and in subsequent seasons began his quest to impress her. Fry maintains an interest in Leela throughout the series, and he is frequently rejected by her. The idea of a romantic connection between Fry and Leela is explored more in the later episodes of the series.

Towards the end of the series, there are hints that Leela and Fry were beginning to fall for each other. The clearest example of this is in the episode "The Sting", when Fry is accidentally "killed" after being impaled on a space-bee's stinger. The "death" of Fry, which she believes herself responsible for, (and was) sends Leela spiraling into sorrow-induced insanity. However, it turned out that Leela was in a coma, and the events she perceived after being stung were simply a horrible dream. Fry, who only needed a replacement spleen, had stayed by her bedside the entire time, trying to keep Leela's mind together by continually talking to her for two weeks. Their survival indicates that they both received timely medical care. The Sting is episode twelve in season four of Futurama. ... For other uses, see Coma (disambiguation). ...

While he traveled through time to 1999 in "The Why of Fry", Fry was present at the time of his past self's freezing, there to attempt to prevent it. However, Nibbler brings Fry to realize that the future is worth saving, for Leela's sake, and Fry froze himself. Nibbler in this scene says, "She must be the Other,"; however, this aspect of the plot was not explored prior to the cancellation of Futurama's initial run. In return, Nibbler helped Fry get together with Leela by giving him a flower, which Fry then gave to Leela after she had a bad date. The Why of Fry is the tenth episode in the fourth season of the animated television series Futurama. ... Lord Nibbler is a fictional character from the animated television series Futurama. ...

In the episode "Parasites Lost", Fry and Leela are in an actual relationship, when parasites from an egg salad sandwich he ate inhabit his body and make him stronger, smarter, and more caring than he was before. Wanting to know if Leela's attraction to him was due to him or the parasites' effect on his body, he expels the parasites from him, then talks to Leela to see if she loved him for who he really is. This effort fails when during his awkward conversation, mentions events from during his relationship with Amy. Parasites Lost is the 2nd episode in series 3 of Futurama. ...

At one point, specifically "Time Keeps on Slippin'", Fry actually managed to marry Leela only to be followed by a speedy divorce. Due to the "time-skips" that take place in this episode, neither Fry nor Leela knew exactly what caused them to end up married until the end, where Fry looks out the window of the ship to see that he moved the stars themselves to give Leela a love letter in the sky. This message is destroyed by a black hole during an attempt to halt the time-skips before Leela gets a chance to see it. Fry decides not to tell Leela what happened.

In the episode "The Farnsworth Parabox", the main cast of Futurama travels to a parallel universe. This was named "Universe 1" by the Alternate Planet Express, although alternate universe Fry's original suggestion was the Fighting Mongooses. The alternate universe is basically the same as the normal Futurama universe (A.K.A. "Universe A") except that all coin flips are opposite in the two worlds. In that episode, Leela and Fry are shocked to discover that their counterparts are happily married. Apparently, both Leelas at one point flipped a coin to decide whether or not to go on a date with Fry; while Leela A got tails and made up an excuse involving ghosts, Leela B went out with Fry B, which led to a year-long relationship and eventual marriage. One year later after their first date, Fry B gave Leela B a diamond scrunchie, while a year after Leela A's excuse, Fry A got beat up at a Neil Diamond Concert by a guy named Scrunchie. At the end of the episode, after returning to Universe A, Leela apparently goes out with Fry, though no long relationship seems to develop. “The Farnsworth Parabox” is the fifteenth episode of the fourth production season of Futurama. ...

In "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings", the last episode of the series, Fry tries to improve his Holophonor skills in order to get Leela to love him. The Holophonor proved successful in Parasites Lost. Unable to do so with his original hands, he takes the advice of Bender to make a deal with The Robot Devil to exchange them for new and better robotic hands via transplants from a "random" donor, that were selected from a "Wheel Of Fortune" style board, only to find the "random" donor to be the Robot Devil himself. With his new hands, Fry's skill in the Holophonor improves tremendously, allowing him to go on to public recitals and having his musical works sold with great fanfare. Inevitably, Fry was commissioned by Hedonism Bot to write and perform a full opera. Fry agrees, but only if the opera is about Leela herself. Fry writes his opera; but on the day of the performance, Leela was accidentally deafened by Bender, due to the plottings of the Robot Devil. She goes anyway, hoping Fry won't notice. The first half of the opera is performed with great success; but Leela, unable to fully enjoy it due to her deafness, makes a hurried deal with the Robot Devil during the intermission to get robotic ears in exchange for 'her hand'. During the second half of the opera, angered by his portrayal in the opera, the Robot Devil demands that Fry return his hands. Fry initially refuses, until the Robot Devil threatens to claim Leela's hand in marriage. Fry relents, getting his old hands back, and thus unable to perform the remainder of the opera. While the rest of the audience leaves in disgust, only Leela remains, and in a touching conclusion to the end of the series as-of-now, she asks Fry to continue and to see 'how it ends'.

Lucy Liu-bot

After having a crush on Lucy Liu for as long as he has known, Fry decides to download a copy of Liu onto a blank robot, over the protests of the other characters. Eventually, the group discovers that the heads of many famous people, including Liu, are being held by Nappster, actually 'Kid'nappster, according to an altered sign. The process, which the heads do not want to be a part of, is very painful. The employees of Kidnappster send a team of rampaging Liu bots to eliminate the group. In the resulting battle, Liu-bot sacrifices herself to defeat the other bots and the real Liu asks Fry to turn her off. Despite the group's opinion that robots and humans shouldn't mix, the real Liu and Bender fall in love.

After Fry was frozen, Michelle realized he was the man she really loved; so she froze herself in depression, not knowing Fry had been frozen. Like everyone else in Fry's life, she knew only that he was missing and presumed dead. No one had searched because his parents felt it was a waste of taxpayers' money. Therefore, when she was revived in the year 3000, Michelle was joyously and unexpectedly reunited with Fry. When he was fired from Planet Express, he ended up with Leela's old job at the cryogenics lab in a mixup involving career chips. He unfroze Michelle and they continued dating. Unfortunately, Michelle started to complain about the 31st century being too "weird", and the couple froze themselves, intending to re-emerge from cryonic suspension in the year 4000; instead, their tube was dumped in Los Angeles before the re-screening of an old Pauly Shore film. The tube Fry and Michelle were in was believed to contain Pauly Shore, who had been unfrozen early by Fry, and when they were thawed, only a few days had passed.

Perhaps his most distressing romantic escapade, however, was backstage at the Miss Universe pageant, when he made out with "the radiator woman from the radiator planet", only to be informed afterwards that it was actually just a radiator in "Lesser of Two Evils", after which he asks the question; "Is there a burn ward within 10 feet of here?".
