Philip J. Fry I (voiced by Billy West), better known as simply Fry, is the central character of the animated television series Futurama. He is a 20th century pizza delivery boy who awakes to life at the dawn of the 31st century after being cryonically frozen 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. At the end of the series, Fry is 29 years old. If one takes his cyrogenic freezing into account, he is 1029.

Billy West, mentioning jovially that he bases Fry on himself as a self-professed loser, also jokes that he fell in love with Katey Sagal, the voice actor of Turanga Leela, while working on the Futurama voices.

The name "Philip" was given to Fry by Matt Groening as an homage to the then recently murdered Phil Hartman, for whom the role of Zapp Brannigan was created.

Philip J. Fry is an excellent fictional example of an extratemporal character.

[edit] Timeline

[edit] Childhood

Named by his father for Phillips-head screwdrivers, he was the second and youngest child of his parents; with one older brother, Yancy Fry.

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".

As a child, he participated in a breakdancing troupe in order to help them win some parachute pants, and performed a septuple headspin with the help of the clover after his brother copied his dance moves and his "Outer Space" dance style.

[edit] Teenage years

As a teenager, Fry was a typical loser. During his time as a teenager, he is rumored 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.

He has also had at least three heart attacks, implied to be caused by drinking excessive amounts of Coca-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.

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 defend Earth from actual space invaders, a group of classic video game characters (such as Donkey Kong) 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!".

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 one episode, he claims that his parents kept him out of public school, deeming it a waste of taxpayers' money.

[edit] Adult life

In 1997 while on a prank delivery, he finds an abandoned dog on the streets and names him Seymour (since the prank name was Seymour Asses) after feeding the dog pizza he follows Fry who then keeps him. By 1998 he had taught Seymour to sing 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 (see below for more information).

He also had a very dirty life-style. He makes references throughout the series about "mushrooms" growing on his bathmat or in his shower. "A Big Piece of Garbage" also shows more on his dirty lifestyle.

By 1999, Fry was dating a woman 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 cryogenic 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 fulfil his destiny to one day in the future save the universe). He remained frozen for 1000 years, during which time New York City was destroyed and rebuilt two times. 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.

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 and furnished an apartment in a style befitting his twentieth-century era. He discovered the preserved corpse of his dog in "Jurassic Bark", and was all set to bring him back to life with the Professor's help, until he realized the dog lived twelve years after his disappearance. Deciding Seymour had lived a full life without him, Fry abandoned the project. In a flashback we see Seymour, like Odysseus' dog Argos, waited all those years for his master to come home, never leaving that spot or giving up hope, even as old age took over.

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 (particularly Star Trek), and movies.

[edit] Character

Another great source of humor is Fry's lack of intelligence and unabashedly pathetic lifestyle. He lives like a pig with his best friend, Bender, rarely thinks more than five minutes into the future, and frequently injures himself. He enjoys watching TV shows that follow the form "the world's blankiest blank" and singing "Walking on Sunshine" while showering, though the only lyrics he actually knows are "I'm walking on sunshine", so he hums the rest.

Fry is childlike and unpretentious for the most part. 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 has a good heart.

In the episode "Roswell That Ends Well", Fry travels to 1947 and becomes his own grandfather. He ended up killing the man who he believed was his grandfather, and, having incorrectly concluded that the now-deceased man's girlfriend 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 reminded of this by the Nibblonians, he proudly notes that he "did do the nasty in the pasty". Because of this "past nastification", as Nibbler puts it, he has a genetic anomaly that causes him to lack the delta brainwave. This helps him save the universe twice from a malicious race of disembodied brains, dubbed the "Brainspawn" ("The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" and "The Why of Fry"), as the Brainspawn's primary weapon, the intellect-draining "Stupefaction Ray", interferes with the delta wave.

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 ("The Why of Fry").

[edit] Relationships

[edit] 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 "twofer" (two-for-one). After foiling Bender's attempt ("Well, I didn't have anything else planned today"), which ironically saves his own life, the two form a strong bond. As Bender puts it, "Of all the friends I've had, Fry's the first." Bender comments in the episode "The Sting" that when he threatened to "Kill All Humans!" (which he does frequently) he would silently add "Except one," said human being Fry. Also in this episode, his distress at the "death" of Fry is obvious, shown at Fry's funeral where he is seen wearing a veil, in the style of a widow (though events of the whole episode may not be canon as it is a strange dream Leela had while she was in a coma).

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 (with TVs from other apartments in the same block) couldn't get any reception, and 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 (see below). Their friendship was also tested in "The Honking". 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.

[edit] Love life

[edit] Amy Wong

Fry and Amy Wong have a short relationship in the episode "Put Your Head on My Shoulders". After spending time together Fry and Amy recognize their commonalities (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 he is a fantastic lover, which Amy denies.

[edit] Turanga Leela

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 gave up her job as career counselor and joined Planet Express with Fry, despite the fact that he ends up working as a delivery boy anyway. 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.

In the episode "Parasites Lost", Fry becomes infected with worms after eating a bad truck stop egg-salad sandwich which he purchased from a bathroom vending machine. However, the worms are very beneficial to Fry, doing everything from giving him an almost Herculean physique to making him considerably smarter. Leela finds this new and improved Fry to be much more attractive. Fry is even able to impress Leela by learning to play the holophonor, a musical instrument with which the operator creates both music and visuals, which few people in the universe know how to play (and those few are apparently not very good). The holophonor piece he plays for Leela depictes the two of them dancing in an array of stars with an enchanting violin solo. But Fry realizes that it is likely that Leela only loves him for what the worms have made him, and not who he truly is. So, in order to find out for sure he confronts the worms and threatens to destroy his medulla oblongata (thus killing his body, and thus the worms) in order to evict the worms and restore his normal self. He succeeds in getting rid of the worms, and returns to normal, which unfortunately also prevents Leela being attracted to him. At the end of the episode, however, Fry is seen alone in his apartment with a book entitled "My First Holophoner". He then proceeds to pick up and play the instrument, composing a crude image of Leela, his true love.

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 killed after being impaled on a space-bee's stinger. The death of Fry, which she believes herself responsible for, sends her spiralling 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.

While traveling through time, 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 living, 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").

At one point (specifically "Time Keeps on Slippin'"), Fry actually managed to marry Leela only to be followed by a speedy annulment. Due to the "time-jumps" 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, which is destroyed during an attempt to halt the time-skips before Leela gets a chance to see it properly.

In the episode "The Farnsworth Parabox," the main cast of Futurama travels to a parallel universe (named "Universe 1" by the Alternate Planet express, although alternate universe Fry's original suggestion was the Fighting Mongooses), which is basically the same as the normal Futurama universe ("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 1 went out with Fry 1, which led to a year-long relationship and eventual marriage. At the end of the episode, after returning to Universe A, Leela apparently goes out with Fry, though no long relationship seems to develop.

In the last episode for season 4, and the last episode of the series as of yet; "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", Fry tries to improve his Holophonor skills in order to get Leela to love him. 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 (selected from a Wheel Of Fortune type of board), only to find the 'random' donor to be the Robot Devil himself. With his new hands, Fry's skill in the Holophonor improves exponentially, 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 Fry to 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 episode/series, she asks Fry to continue and to see 'how it ends'.

[edit] Lucy Liu

After having a crush on Lucy Liu for as long as he has known, Fry dates a copy of Lucy Liu which has been holographically projected onto a blank robot (despite the protests of the other characters), which he downloaded from "(Kid)Nappster" on the Internet.

[edit] Michelle

Michelle is Fry's girlfriend from the 20th century, who dumped Fry on New Year's Eve 1999.

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 and, in a mixup involving career chips, ended up with Leela's old job at the cryogenics lab, 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 cryogenic 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. They entered a few more arguments and then broke up conclusively ("The Cryonic Woman").

[edit] Others

Fry also fell in love with a Southern belle-type mermaid named Umbriel, but fled when he discovered the disadvantages of her piscine lower-half ("The Deep South"). 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 ("Lesser of Two Evils"), after which he asks the question; "Is there a burn ward within 10 feet of here?".

He once had a nearly fatal "snu-snu" experience ("Amazon Women in the Mood").

In "Love's Labours Lost in Space", Fry managed to score a date with an unnamed woman from the 21st century at the The Hip Joint, even paying Bender to 'vacate' their apartment for the night, giving him money to "go see a saucy puppet show."

Additionally, Fry carried on a short-lived affair with Morgan Proctor, the bureaucrat that had replaced Hermes Conrad at Planet Express for a brief time, though the affair ended when Morgan removed Bender's personality. ("How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back").

In "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?", Zoidberg visits his home planet (Decapod 10) to mate, Fry helps Zoidberg to get together with a female (Edna) Zoidberg knew previously in order to mate with her. After Edna finds out it was Fry who told Zoidberg to say the things he said to woo her, she becomes infatuated with Fry, going so far as to invite him to her apartment and attempting to seduce him. When Zoidberg finds out, he challenges Fry to 'Claw Plach', a ritual fight to the death. While fighting, the mating frenzy begins and Edna leaves with the king, along with everyone else. After finding out that Decapodians die after mating, Fry and Zoidberg became friends again, despite Fry having lost his arm to Zoidberg's claw.

Many of the women (and the radiator) that he had sexual relations with appear at his funeral in "The Sting".

[edit] Achievements

• Was briefly extremely wealthy after earning 1000 years of 2.25% interest accrued on a bank account balance of 93 cents, amounting to $4.3 billion ("A Fishful of Dollars").
• Saved Earth from invaders from the planet Omicron Persei VIII when he remembered enough of a 1000 year old TV show ("Single Female Lawyer," a spoof/satire of Ally McBeal) to write, direct and produce a believable ending to the series finale that was knocked off the air in 1999 by Fry himself, his plan was successful, but the Omicronians decided not to give them the recipe for an immortality potion ("When Aliens Attack"). During the early stages of the conflict, Fry, under the command of Zapp Brannigan, helped to destroy the Hubble Telescope, which the latter thought to be the Omicronians' mothership.
• Still has over $8 billion (pre-tax) lying out of circulation from the sale of Popplers. He made 50 cents per dozen popplers sold, with approximately 198 billion sold, together with Bender. He may not know this (or it may have been lost/frozen and/or considered illegally earned when it was discovered that Popplers were the intelligent offspring of the Omicronians) ("The Problem With Popplers").
• Saved New New York City from a giant ball of 20th century garbage with his 20th century garbage making skills, which guided the citizens of New New York to create and launch a second garbage ball, deflecting the first ("A Big Piece of Garbage").
• Won a contest to tour the Slurm factory, then discovered the secret to Slurm (a Willy Wonka parody), but to prevent it from being outlawed decided to keep it a secret ("Fry and the Slurm Factory").
• Rediscovered the location of the original 1969 moon landing site after it was lost for centuries ("The Series Has Landed").
• Briefly had Godly Powers and a radient glow after drinking 100 cups of coffe and saved the buildling. ("Three Hundred Big Boys")
• Briefly a superhero, known as "Captain Yesterday." ("Less Than Hero")
• Briefly an executive (Vice President) of Planet Express (PlanEx) ("Future Stock").
• Briefly an executive (Executive Delivery Boy) of Planet Express ("How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back").
• Performed the septuple headspin, with the help of a seven-leaf clover ("The Luck of the Fryrish").
• The only known person in history to be his own biological grandfather, and subsequently, the only person without the Delta Brainwave. Considered by the Nibblonians to be the most important person in the universe, as this property makes him uniquely able to defeat the Brainspawn on two occasions; by imprisoning the Master Brain in a badly-written book, tricking it into leaving Earth ("The Day the Earth Stood Stupid") and later by using a "Quantum Interface" bomb to send the Brainspawn and their "InfoSphere", a giant memory bank twice the size of three ordinary memory banks, to another dimension from which there is no escape ("The Why of Fry").
• Was the sole owner of the Earth's last known tin of anchovies, before putting them on a pizza and sharing it with the Planet Express staff ("A Fishful of Dollars").
• Briefly Emperor Fry the Solid of the planet Trisol, which lies in the darkest depths of the Forbidden Zone in the Galaxy of Terror ("My Three Suns").
• Proud of being a college dropout, he was shocked to discover that by 31st century standards, he was no smarter than a high-school dropout. He therefore briefly attended Mars University before dropping out. ("Mars University").
• Can "sort of dance like a robot" ("Fear of a Bot Planet").
• Discovered bigfoot ("Spanish Fry").
• Has had three heart attacks, largely due to his excessive consumption of cola ("Fry and the Slurm Factory").
• Is one of two beings simultaneously named Philip J. Fry on 31 December 1999, the other being the Philip J. Fry from hovering squid world 97-A. His nephew of the 21st century was named after him.
• Learned to pilot the Planet Express ship, with help from Leela ("Time Keeps on Slippin'").
• Briefly acquired mechanical hands from the Robot Devil, and became a successful Holophonor player for the second time, earning an undisclosed amount of money. Also wrote a full opera about Leela, though performed with limited success due to the machinations of the Robot Devil. ("The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings")
• Having a low paying job (After "severely reduced pay" in "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back"), several friends and living in a robot's closet (First seen in "I, Roommate"), Fry envies no man.

[edit] Injuries suffered

In the series, Fry loses body parts anomalously often (but recovers them by the end of the episode). He has lost his entire body below the neck, right arm, nose, and hands, respectively in the episodes, "Put Your Head on My Shoulders", "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?", "Spanish Fry", and "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings". Prior to losing his hands in "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" Fry's hands were eaten by a T-Rex in ("I Dated a Robot") but replaced by Handcrafters (a parody of quick-service optical chain LensCrafters) immediately after. He also was also impaled through the abdomen by a space-bee stinger in "The Sting" (requiring a spleen transplant) and a lead pipe ejected from an explosively malfunctioning plasma fusion boiler ("Parasites Lost").

Fry has had other injuries (or close-to-death encounters) such as :
