<br />
'''Dr. John A. Zoidberg'''(Commonly referred by his last name Zoidberg) Zoidberg is a [[Decapodian]] employed as staff doctor at [[Planet Express]]{{er|1ACV02}} and an honorary [[Globetrotter]].{{er|3ACV14}} He is only tolerated at Planet Express because of his ability to cut things.{{er|6ACV14}} An extremely poor man and a doctor of art history,{{er|6ACV05}} he is still lovable to many and hated by others.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Desperate for acceptance, Zoidberg lives with a continuing delusion that he is well regarded by the rest of the Planet Express crew. He does appear to be rather intelligent, but he is an inept medical practitioner. Most of his co-workers look down on him, especially [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]], who likes to make his life even more miserable. Dr. Zoidberg is [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s oldest friend, which suggests that Zoidberg is much older than he appears. A citizen of [[Earth]], he loves his chosen home planet for the personal freedom it provides.{{er|4ACV05}} He is also apparently the only intelligent organism on [[Earth]] deemed nice by the [[Santa Claus|Robot Santa Claus]].{{er|2ACV04}} It is unknown why, but it may be because of a glitch in Santa or because of Zoidberg's kind and innocent personality. Other than the professor, the only people known to identify him as a friend are the members of the [[First Planet Express crew]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] (sometimes), [[Mom]] and [[Marianne|his girlfriend]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Zoidberg.{{er|2ACV16}}]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
<br />
Dr. Zoidberg was born on [[Decapod 10]] and attended high school there, where he had a crush on classmate [[Edna]].{{er|2ACV05}} During that time, his face was covered in barnacles, for which he was laughed at.<br />
<br />
As a youngster, Zoidberg wanted to become a comedian, following the footsteps of his uncle [[Harold Zoid]], but he was discouraged by his guardian,<ref>Decapodians die upon mating.{{er|2ACV05}} One theory suggests that barren females care for the newly hatched young.</ref> whereupon he developed an interest in medical science.{{er|3ACV08}} Though he formulated a new plan to impress his family by becoming a doctor, he was again scolded for giving up his dream of being a comedian. Eventually, he went to medical school and left his home planet to seek his fortune on [[Earth]], although it is not known whether he studied on Decapod 10 or on Earth. He never received a doctorate in medicine for humans, but rather, in art history.{{er|6ACV05}} Though fully incompetent with humans, he treats them anyway, both at Planet Express and, apparently, outside the company (one such patient being the [[Australian man]]) . He is however, an expert on aliens, as stated by [[Professor Farnsworth]].{{er|6ACV18}}<br />
<br />
In [[2927]], Zoidberg met [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] while on a mission to capture a Tritonian [[yeti]] for [[Mom]]. During the mission, the Professor was infected with hypermalaria, which at the time, was thought to be impossible to cure. The Professor saved Zoidberg's life by killing the yeti. In exchange, Farnsworth pleaded that Zoidberg kill him as soon as the symptoms of hypermalaria started, so he wouldn't have to experience the horrible suffering.{{er|6ACV18}} Zoidberg agreed, leading to his employment at Planet Express in [[2961]], when it was founded.{{er|6ACV15}} <br />
<br />
[[File:Claw-Plach.png|thumb|left|225px|Zoidberg and his friend [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], battling in [[Claw-Plach]].{{er|2ACV05}}]]<br />
<br />
=== Planet Express doctor ===<br />
In his early days at Planet Express in 2961, he had a brief relationship with [[Candy]], until she was eaten by a [[Four-dimensional space whales|four-dimensional space whale]].{{er|6ACV15}}<br />
<br />
During [[Xmas]] of [[3000]], Zoidberg was the only person on Earth deemed "nice" by [[Robot Santa]] and was given a pogo stick as his present.{{er|2ACV04}} In [[3001]], Zoidberg saved [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s life by transplanting his head onto [[Amy Wong|Amy]]'s shoulder when his body was severely damaged in a car crash on [[Jupiter]]'s moon [[Europa]].{{er|2ACV07}}<br />
<br />
=== Mating Season ===<br />
In 3001, Zoidberg was filling with male jelly and becoming violent due to the approaching mating season for his species. He went to his home planet to find a mate, and soon became intent on sharing the ritual with his old classmate Edna. Edna was disinterested and more attracted to Fry so Zoidberg challenged Fry to the Decapodian tradition of [[Claw-Plach]]. He intended to kill Fry until he noticed the mating ritual had begun without him, so he and Fry returned to Earth as friends again.{{er|2ACV05}} <br />
<br />
Later that year, when he was trapped at the bottom of the ocean with the rest of the Planet Express crew, he found a shell to live in and planned to reside there permanently, until it somehow burned down after Bender left his cigar next to it.{{er|2ACV12}}<br />
<br />
He served as a military doctor in the 3001 conflict with [[Spheron 1]].{{er|2ACV17}}<br />
<br />
=== Attempts at comedy ===<br />
Although his medical career meant giving up his dream of becoming a comedian, Zoidberg has since tried on occasion to be a freelance comedian of some sort, but lack the necessary talent and sense of humour. In his biggest try, he even had a minor part in [[Harold Zoid|his uncle]]'s film ''[[The Magnificent Three]]'' in [[3002]].{{er|3ACV08}}<br />
<br />
When the crew had to explore Fry's body in 3002, Zoidberg made himself useful by using his limited knowledge of human anatomy to lead them through a capillary.{{er|3ACV02}} Also that year he began coughing up pearls which were sold as necklaces while the crew were following Bender on tour.{{er|3ACV13}}<br />
<br />
=== Roswell Alien ===<br />
After a supernova he was accidentally sent back in time to [[1947]] Roswell where he was captured by the [[US Army]]. He met [[Harry S. Truman|President Harry Truman]] (it is unclear which of them was more baffled by the other) and was partially vivisected. He was rescued by Fry and returned to the [[31st century|future]] where he put his organs back in (except a non-vital one) and fixed himself with duct tape.{{er|3ACV19}}<br />
<br />
When Planet Express was taken over by [[Steve Castle]], he sold all his shares for a sandwich.{{er|3ACV21}}<br />
<br />
=== Death Sentence ===<br />
In [[3003]] on [[Freedom Day]], he ate [[Old Freebie|an Earthican flag]] and was chased by an angry mob sent by [[President Nixon]]. He took refuge in his planet's embassy and was sentenced to death for his crime while in hiding. In response, the Decapodians invaded and conquered Earth, enslaving all its citizens. Eventually, Zoidberg disagreed with the takeover and helped defeat the invaders with a burning flag.{{er|4ACV05}} <br />
<br />
In [[3004]], after an accident in a health spa, he reverted back to all his childhood stages until he returned to his current age in the [[Fountain of Aging]].{{er|4ACV09}}<br />
<br />
When Professor Farnsworth created a box containing [[Universe 1|a parallel universe]], Zoidberg quickly befriended his parallel counterpart. The two Zoidbergs, fed up with how the crew treats them, stole the box containing [[Universe Γ|our universe]] and tried to escape into other universes until they were caught by Farnsworth.{{er|4ACV15}}<br />
<br />
When everyone on Earth was given a 300 dollar government refund, Zoidberg was inspired to live like a rich person, until he was mocked by Mom for thinking the money had a lot of worth. He eventually spent his money on food for a group of homeless people.{{er|4ACV16}}<br />
<br />
=== Mercy Killing ===<br />
In [[3011]], the rest of the [[Planet Express Crew|crew]] became fed up with Dr. Zoidberg's incompetence as a doctor, and demanded that the [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] fire him.{{er|6ACV18}} However, the symptoms of hypermalaria had after several decades, finally began to infect him. Farnsworth approached Zoidberg and informed him that it was time to perform the mercy killing, only it needed to be by surprise. But before Zoidberg could carry out the act, the rest of the crew caught Zoidberg trying to kill the Professor and imprisoned him in his office, restraining him with the Professor's lab coat. On the coat, Zoidberg discovers a thin, white, [[yeti]] hair, and realizes that the Professor never had hypermalaria, but [[yetiism]], a dangerous disease with identical symptoms to hypermalaria, that turns the victim into a yeti. Shocked by this revelation, Zoidberg escapes and goes to the headquarters of [[Mom]], where he exchanges a coupon for a free tanning session for the disembodied head of a yeti. Zoidberg returns to the [[Planet Express headquarters]] just moments before the rest of the crew kill the Professor themselves, (after he revealed the truth to them) Zoidberg reveals to them that the Professor has yetiism, not hypermalaria. Using the pineal gland from the yeti's head, he creates an antidote and forces him to swallow it; just as the yeti transformation begins. The cure was successful, and the rest of the crew apologize to Zoidberg for treating him so poorly.<br />
<br />
By [[3013]], Zoidberg had gotten a job at [[Elzar's]] as a busboy.{{er|7ACV17}}<br />
<br />
Amazingly enough, by at some point in 3013, Zoidberg met [[Marianne|a flower girl]] and they began dating.{{er|7ACV25}}<br />

It is also possible that Decapodians have three biological parents. He referred to one of them (his mother) as a saint, which was most likely just an expression.

== Production ==<br />
[[File:Zoidberg lab.jpg|right|thumb|Production pic of Zoidberg's lab.]]<br />
The original inspiration and the basic traits and characteristics were developed by [[David X. Cohen]],<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1}}</ref> while the cartoon design was created by [[Matt Groening]]. The later refinement and addition of various traits came from the various [[:Category:Writers|writers]].<ref name="epPYHOMS-com-kk">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=Put Your Head on My Shoulders |volume=Two |disc=2}}</ref><br />
<br />
Cohen's name for Dr. Zoidberg came from a video game he had developed during the [[1980s]], called "Zoid",<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> which was largely inspired by the popular arcade game {{w|Qix}}.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=That's Lobstertainment! |volume=Three |disc=2}}</ref> Cohen tried to get the then famous publisher {{w|Brøderbund}} to publish the game.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc"/> Unfortunately, Brøderbund refused to publish Cohen's assembly-written game, and he shelved it.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc"/> Dr. Zoidberg was thus named to honour those wasted years in college.<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/><br />
<br />
Cohen's inspiration came from {{st|Bones McCoy}} from ''[[Star Trek]]'', the doctor on the ''{{st|U.S.S. Enterprise}}''. Bones was often faced with treating aliens and other non-humans, including [[Spock]].<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> Cohen's idea for Zoidberg was the exact opposite, where an alien would perform on humans.<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> Zoidberg's trait of being a bad doctor was then established.<ref name="epPYHOMS-com-kk"/><br />
<br />
Later traits, such as his lust for seafood, became apparent in "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]". More demeaning traits such as being poor and lonely came in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulders]]"; eating garbage and being homeless appeared later as well.<br />
<br />
Certain contradicting situations can be seen in "[[A Flight to Remember]]", where Zoidberg is seen being given a suite, something that the writers would not give him in the later course of the series.<ref name="epAFTR-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=A Flight to Remember |volume=One |disc=3}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
[[Billy West]] has often stated that the voice of Zoidberg was inspired by profile {{cat|actor}}s from Yiddish theater such as {{w|Lou Jacobi}} and {{w|George Jessel (actor)|George Jessel}}. His voice may also be inspired by reggae/hip-hop {{cat|musician|singer}}, {{w|Shaggy (musician)|Shaggy}}.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Zoidberg is featured both on disc 7 of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]'' and on the cover for [[Volume 7]]. He is also featured on one of the discs of Volume 7.<br />
*Zoidberg's E-mail is: zoidberg@freemail.web.{{citation needed}}<br />
*As the show progresses, Zoidberg's apparent utility becomes less obvious, and the Planet Express staff shun his presence from one instance to another.<br />
*It has been mentioned several times that the Planet Express crew openly abuses him. In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', he yelled that Fry was the only crew member who had never struck him. Also, several times he has done something wrong and exclaimed "Don't hit me!"<br />
*As with all Decapodians, Zoidberg's mannerisms, speech, and personality are representative of dry East Coast humor readily seen in Jewish communities.<br />
*He claims to have lost his medical degree in a volcano. This, however, was an excuse for not having one to give to Cubert.<br />
*In earlier [[Episode Listing|episodes]] he is animated with teeth, but in later episodes he is drawn without. His mouth frills are prehensile and can move independently, although most of the time they remain loose.<br />
*Is apparently his own medical corporation, as described on the door to his office.<br />
*Zoidberg has a top fin or crest on his head that appears at times of emotional duress, such as "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?]]" and ''Bender's Big Score''. It seems to be linked to his species' equivalent to testosterone, as it appears to be linked to both aggression and arousal, as shown in ''[[Bender's Game]]'' and "[[Attack of the Killer App]]". Also, the fin appears when he remembers a forgotten event. The crest, referred to by Amy as "cockateiling", has been shown on one occasion to occur just before a traumatic event, allowing Zoidberg to predict danger, but not with enough notice to do anything about it. <br />
*His greatest fantasy is to be a grandmother ("Subjugated yet honored!").<br />
*Hermes from the earliest episodes seems to harbor a bitter hatred toward Zoidberg, never explained or given a rationale. This starts in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]", when Hermes states someone (in fact Bender was addicted to it) has been using a lot of electricity, then blames Zoidberg who exclaims "MEEE?" Hermes later removes the office's salt-water cooler to save money, prompting Zoidberg to blurt out, "This is a witch-hunt!"<br />
[[File:Zoidberg office.jpg|right|thumb|Zoidberg in his office with Fry.{{er|6ACV18}}]]<br />
*An [[Zoidberg (Cornwood)|alternate version]] of him as a blob-like creature appears in ''Bender's Game'', although he begins as an innocent Dungeon Monster.<br />
*In the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween08.html Halloween 2008] cartoon of [http://homestarrunner.com Homestar Runner], the Poopsmith is dressed as Zoidberg. Also, if you click him at the end of the toon, the King of Town uses the phrase "[[Good news, everyone]]."<br />
*Apparently likes [[Barbados Slim]] (Although he says he likes a lot of people, possibly a catchphrase).<br />
*He has been shown to cough up colorful beads after eating copious amounts of dirt, which can be sold to make money. This is only seen in the episode "[[Bendin' in the Wind]]".<br />
[[File:Zoidberg promo.png|right|thumb|Zoidberg reading a book entitled ''Diseases of the Claw and Egg Sac''.]]<br />
*His [[birthday]] is the day after Amy's.{{er|3ACV14}}<br />
*His claws and exoskeleton are incredibly strong and resilient. His claws can cut through human flesh, bone, and even some metals while his exoskeleton is impervious to knives and swords.<br />
*He is first mentioned to be desperately poor in the episode "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulders]]".<br />
*In "[[Insane in the Mainframe]]", it is said he started working in Planet Express in [[2992]], though in "[[Möbius Dick]]", he is seen working since the start, around [[2961]].<br />
**Possible that he is fired and rehired to avoid paying out benefits.<br />
***The Professor's senilty and Hermes' not caring may also be the explanation.<br />
*Grows brown hair that usually turns white immediately in cases of extreme fear (as shown in "Möbius Dick").<br />
*He is noted by Farnsworth to be a "doctor for aliens", often gives mistaken diagnoses on Fry and Bender that may apply to other species, and has demonstrated knowledge of alien physiology (as shown in "[[The Tip of the Zoidberg]]"). This may suggest he qualified as a doctor on Decapod 10. He was also described as a "medical doctor" by the [[Contrabulous Choosematron]], implying he may be qualified in some form as a doctor. <br />
* Interesting, the only thing about being a doctor Zoidberg seems to know about is reattaching limbs, as he does this several times.{{er|2ACV05|2ACV07|BBS|space=no}}<br />
*He has shown infrequent romantic interest in human men, thought this probably means nothing as he is repeatedly unable to differentiate between human genders.<br />
*In ''Bender's Big Score'' he was crowned Prince of Bageria by the [[Scammer Aliens|Scammers]]. Although it's obivously a scam, Zoidberg still fell for it.<br />
*Zoidberg appears to think humans have multiple mouths, dorsal fins. He also can't tell humans apart from robots and males from females. He also thinks that food is digested in the heart.<br />
*Several of Zoidberg's internal organs are either redundant or vestigial. In "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]", he is vivisected by scientists who know nothing of his physiology and leaves one of his hearts behind.<br />
*He may be a fan of Scooby-Doo, as he said "Well gang, it looks like we have another mystery on our hands.", a catchphrase of Fred.{{er|3ACV06}}<br />
*According to the [[Contrabulous Choosematron]], Zoidberg is "delicious with butter and lemon",{{er|7ACV02}} though this could be a gag since those two do work well with lobster.<br />
*He can harmonize with himself, possibly with two sets of vocal cords.<br />
*He is one of three current crew members of Planet Express that have worked for Mom in some capacity, the other two being Farnsworth and Hermes.<br />
*He is unable to swim very well, and does a "doggie paddle" instead of a proper stroke.<br />
*He frequently claims that various member of the crew (Hermes, Bender, etc.) are his "best friend", despite having absolutely no evidence to suggest it's true (or any evidence that any of them consider him a 'friend' at all).<br />
*He may be [[religion|Catholic]], most likely [[Space Catholicism|Space Catholic]], since he has made the sign of the cross{{er|6ACV22}} and prayed to [[God]].{{er|7ACV12}}<br />

[[File:Zoidberg 7ACV19.png|thumb|225px|Zoidberg as [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the berry burglar]]'s monster.{{er|7ACV19}}]]<br />
*(At inappropriate times) Hello.<br />

*(Depressed, after being insulted, ignored, or one-upped) Awwww...<br />
<br />
Also, he is usually shown to be highly unintelligent when it comes to being a doctor, such as thinking that Amy is the father of Leela's [[popplers|poppler]], that humans have multiple mouths, that Fry is a robot, and that humans digest food in their hearts. More so, he often mistakes the human penis for other objects, especially that of Hermes. The closest he has ever been to showing competence in the field of human medical science was in "[[Parasites Lost]]", but only because he saw it in a commercial.<br />

<div>{{Fry Family Tree}}<br />
<br />
The '''Fry family''' is an [[American]] family who hails from [[Old New York|New York City]]. Their members include:<br />
<br />
*[["Minuteman" Yancy Fry]], who fought in the American Revolution.<br />
*[[Yancy Fry (Fry's great-grandfather)|Yancy Fry]], Enos' father,Yancy Fry Sr. Grandfather,Yancy Fry.Jr great-grandfather, Philip J.Fry I great- grandfather, Philip J.Fry II great-grandfather .<br />
*[[Enos Fry]] and [[Mildred Fry]].<br />
*[[Yancy Fry, Sr.]] and [[Mrs. Fry]], and their children:<br />
**'''[[Philip J. Fry]]''', a central character of ''[[Futurama]]''.<br />
**[[Yancy Fry, Jr.]] and [[Yancy Fry Jr.'s wife|his wife]], who had:<br />
***[[Philip J. Fry, II]], their son.<br />
*[[Fry's cousin]], who owned a van.<br />
<br />
In addition, the descendants of Yancy Fry, Jr. include members of the Farnsworth family, including:<br />
<br />
*'''[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]]''', and his children:<br />
**[[Igner]], with [[Mom]].<br />
**[[Cubert J. Farnsworth]], his clone.<br />
<br />
== Time travel ==<br />
<br />
Fry's [[time travel]] means that Yancy, Sr's paternal grandmother is [[Mrs. Fry]], his wife and Fry's mother. And not only did Fry become his own grandfather, he made his father ''his'' own grandfather as well. An infinite loop results: Fry is his own grandfather, great-great-grandfather, great-great-great-great-grandfather and so on. This abnormality is the reason Fry lacks the [[Delta Brainwave]]. In addition, Fry's time travel creates [[Lars Fillmore]], his doomed [[time-paradox duplicate]] ([[Bender's Big Score|BBS]]).<br />
<br />
The paternity of [[Mom]]'s kids was never revealed in the [[original run]] of the series, but in "[[Mother's Day]]" she describes Professor Farnsworth as "the only man I ever loved". However, in the film ''[[Bender's Game]]'', it is revealed that [[Igner]], Mom's youngest son, was fathered by Professor Farnsworth.<br />

'''Philip J. Fry II''' is [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s nephew and [[Yancy Fry Jr.|Yancy]]'s son, and best known as the singer of the band Leaf Seven as well as the first man to walk on [[Mars]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Philip II was first exposed to spaceships as a newborn baby when his father hung Fry's picture of him on a spaceship. Little did Yancy know he was raising one of the world's most famous and influential men, with the help of his uncle Fry's lucky [[seven-leaf clover]], which he was given as a baby. He eventually grew up to become a world-renown philanthropist and entrepreneur. His first brush with fame was when he struck [[oil]] in a mansion he won in a lottery. He later went on to have a fling with international super model [[Njörd]]. Later he had a string of top 10 hits with his band Leaf Seven. Although he did many great things, his greatest accomplishment was being the first man to walk on [[Mars]]. <br />
<br />
His father, [[Yancy Fry Jr.]], named his son after [[Philip J. Fry|his brother]], who had disappeared several years before. In memory of his brother, he gave his old seven-leaf clover to his son, and it later became his trade mark. <br />
<br />
[[File:PJF2Grave.png|200px|thumb|left|Philip's [[Philip J. Fry|uncle]] visiting his grave in the [[Orbiting Meadows]].]]<br />
<br />
Philip rests in [[Orbiting Meadows|Orbiting Meadows National Cemetery]]. Either he, or an unnamed sibling, is a direct ancestor of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]].<br />
<br />
=== Time-Paradox Issues ===<br />
Originally, Philip J. Fry II never would have met his uncle, but this changed because of the events of ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' where the [[time-paradox duplicate]] of Philip J. Fry that became [[Lars Fillmore]] was around between 2000 and 2012. These events rewrote the life of Philip J. Fry II as defined by "[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]". As a result of Philip J. Fry's return, it is possible that Philip J. Fry, II either never received the seven leafed clover or instead was given it directly by his uncle rather than by his father. It is also likely that he was named after Philip J. Fry for different reasons, as given his return Yancy Fry, Jr. would not have had reason to miss Philip J. Fry. It is possible, however, that the disappearance Yancy Fry, Jr. was referring to was that of his time-paradox duplicate in 2012, after Bender destroyed [[Panucci's Pizza]]. Another possibility is that Philip J. Fry II was born after Fry went on his expedition to capture [[Leelu]]. Since it is never shown that Fry told his family where he was going, it is likely he was considered "disappeared". However this theory also has an inconsistency, when Bender goes on his mission to kill Fry he visits Yancy Fry, Jr. and speaks to Philip J. Fry II, who tells him that Fry is at the North Pole, Bender goes to find him but sees him before he travels to the North Pole, so Philip J. Fry II couldn't have been named for the 2012 "disappearance".<br />

'''Mrs. Fry''' (maiden name Gleisner, first name unknown) is the mother of [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] and [[Philip J. Fry]] who lived in [[Fry's house|a completely trashed house]] somewhere in {{w|Flatbush}}, {{w|Brooklyn}}.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
She loves sports more than her children, such as when she was giving birth to Philip, she cared more about a baseball game and was too busy playing golf when [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] was trying to steal his clover. She was also too excited about a football game to wonder where Philip had disappeared to. Mrs. Fry and [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] did not care about their son and thought sending him to school was a waste of tax money and did not bother much looking for him when he was frozen on New Year's Day, 2000. Despite this, Mrs. Fry truly loved her sons, as she admitted that she did miss Philip very much after he disappeared. {{er|3ACV14}} She once advised Fry that, regardless of how dumb or ugly he might be, what matters is that he is good-hearted, {{er|6ACV05}} which shows that she was far wiser than what her negligent antics suggested.<br />
<br />
In the [[season 7|season-7]] episode "[[Game of Tones]]", an examination of Fry's dreams reveals that despite her unorthodox parenting style and obsession with sports, Mrs. Fry was in truth a devoted and loving mother. Upon realizing that he will never be able to tell his Mother he loves her and is grateful, Fry suffers a deep personal crisis. At the end of the episode, {{Nibbler}} and the [[Nibblonians]] pay Fry back for all the suffering he has endured on their behalf by projecting him into Mrs. Fry's dreams in the [[21st century]], so he can speak to her one last time.<br />

{{redirects|Farnsworth|other uses|Farnsworth (disambiguation)}}<br />
<br />
'''Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth''' is an aged, eccentric, yet accomplished inventor, founder and owner of [[Planet Express]] and an honorary [[Globetrotter]]. He is crotchety, absent-minded and sometimes brilliant, most well-known for his work in [[Sport-Utility Robot|30th century robotics]]. In [[2999]], he was the last known relative of [[Philip J. Fry]]. Later, Professor Farnsworth discovered that he had fathered a son, as well as the [[Cubert|clone]] that he had kept hidden. In addition, he also serves as a tenured professor at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] teaching the Mathematics of Quantum Neutrino Fields. Farnsworth is an inventor of both useful and impractical things, some of which are extremely dangerous, such as his [[Doomsday devices]].<br />
<br />
Personality-wise, he varies from callous disregard to sentimental affection. He has no objection to sending his crew on missions which may eventually kill them, and has sent previous crews to their deaths before. (At times, he even seems eager to send crews on life-threatening missions.) Farnsworth is the oldest living member of the [[Academy of Inventors]], where he often competes with his arch nemesis, [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Hubert Farnsworth is a mad scientist, though how extreme this tendency is varies depending on how writers feel best suits the episode. Farnsworth's name comes from {{w|Philo Farnsworth}}, who invented the television. In addition, his first name, Hubert, may come from [[Eric Kaplan]]'s former professor, {{w|Hubert Dreyfus}}. The only thing his name has in common with the name of Philip J. Fry is the unsettled "J." as their middle initial, but this may just be a common joke [[Matt Groening]] sets for his characters.<br />
<br />
Though Professor Farnsworth is a genius, he is also very senile and sometimes forgets things that had happened only moments earlier. He also has a habit of saying "[[Good news, everyone]]", which more often than not means bad news. He is known for following up his statements with completely contradictory statements, such as [[The Sting#Quotes|his definition]] of [[Space Honey]] from "[[The Sting]]". Hubert also often appears indifferent to the welfare of his crew, often sending them on dangerous missions which could get them killed, though it's highly unlikely that he does this intentionally. He could also sometimes have periods of maniacal laughter. However Farnsworth isn't actually a bad person and appears to share some level of friendship with the other members of Planet Express. He also cares about his clone, Cubert, treating him as though he were his biological son.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth also enjoys public nudity, and may have been convicted. His urge to undress becomes much greater around [[Xmas]].<br />
<br />
One of the most frequent recurring gags in the show is that Farnsworth says/acts something but immediately the truth was that his intentions were the opposite compared to how it seemed. One example is in That Darn Katz! where Farnsworth complains that he is trying to run a meeting while the Planet Express Crew try to pet Professor Katz's cat then he states that means he should be the one petting the kitty.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early Life ===<br />
[[File:YoungFarnsworth.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Hubert J. Farnsworth was born on {{date|9 April}}, {{year|2841}} in a prison &ndash; although claimed until {{year|3001}} that it was actually 2851 &ndash; in the nerdiest slum of [[New New York]], [[Hell's Laboratory]]. At age 8, he learned to read, albeit while still in diapers.<br />
<br />
Hubert enjoyed his teenage years as a nerd with an affection for role-playing games. After 14 years of graduate school, Farnsworth became a scientist and designed such things as [[fast cars]], [[trendy night spots]] and [[beautiful women]], all out of his one-room apartment. Evidence suggests that he may also have been a hippie and a disco boy, possibly during graduate school. In [[7ACV10|The Near Death-Wish]], it is revealed that Hubert spent 25 years in a mental institution at the behest of [[Farnsworth's parents|his parents]].<br />
<br />
=== Career path ===<br />
By [[2900]] Farnsworth had taken a teaching position at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] where his most promising student was an up and coming young science undergrad<!--around 20yrs old, probably undergrad then--> named [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Ogden Wernstrom]]. Sadly, the two had a falling out over a pop-quiz score which lead to Wernstrom's hundred year quest for revenge {{et|1ACV11}}. While retaining a role at the university, Hubert assisted [[Unit 47]] in curing the posy infestation {{et|6ACV04}} and was eventually hired at [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]], staying there for the next fifty years. During this time his inventiveness lead to the creation of many new products and breakthrough technologies, such as the use of [[Dark Matter]] as fuel, the [[First Robot Capable of Qualifying for a Boat Loan|first robot capable of qualifying for a boat loan]] {{et|2ACV10}} and a [[Sport-Utility Robot|sport-utility robot]], the design of which would become the basis of all robots running in the early 31st century {{et|4ACV08}}. It was during this time he also began an [[Mom-Farnsworth relationship|on-again, off-again relationship]] with [[Mom]] {{et|2ACV14}}, the owner of the company, who was having a similar relationship with Wernstrom. By the end of this period, Mom had fallen pregnant with [[Igner|their child]], a secret she would keep from him for many years ([[Bender's Game|BG]]). While on a mission for Mom in [[2927]] on [[Triton]], Farnsworth contracted [[Yetiism]] and was only cured in [[3011]] in the [[Planet Express headquarters]] {{et|6ACV18}} by Dr Zoidberg.<br />
<br />
=== Planet Express ===<br />
After numerous tries with Mom, and with a need for money to fund his research, he founded [[Planet Express]], an interstellar delivery company, on 2961. He hired his friend of 34 years, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] as the company's staff doctor. [[Hermes Conrad]] was hired as the company's bureaucrat some time later. In {{year|2998}}, [[Amy Wong]] entered the company as an engineering intern, but has since remained in the company for several years. Also in his employ is Scruffy, the company janitor who lives in the basement of Planet Express.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth has had numerous crews, whom he frequently sends to their doom. As a result many have died horribly or gone missing; the first crew hired were swallowed by a [[Four-dimensional space whale]]. Shortly after one such instance, late on the {{date|31 December|text=31st of December}} 2999 {{et|1ACV01}}, he learned that he was not the last surviving member of his family. His long lost and far removed uncle, [[Philip J. Fry]], had just been defrosted. Fry, [[Turanga Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]] were hired early the next morning and have been his longest surviving crew, who despite 12 years in the company remain alive.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth doesn't always just send his crew on simple delivery missions, but has sent them on charity missions as well as highly controversial missions. Even when his crew and company is unrelated or unsuited to the task, he isn't shy to send them along anyway.<br />
<br />
=== Legacy ===<br />
[[File:A Clone of My Own.jpg|right|thumb]]<br />
As a member of the [[Academy of Inventors]], the Professor has created [[#Creations|many things]]. Often these don't live up to his expectations and are ridiculed by his fellow inventors. Occasionally, however, they can help save the day; the [[Smell-O-Scope]] for instance was laughed at by colleagues and Wernstrom had his revenge by giving it a poor grade, shortly afterward it detected a [[giant ball of garbage]] in space that was on a collision course with [[New New York]]. After the Planet Express crew averted the crisis, Wernstrom once more announced a thirst for revenge.<br />
<br />
After his 150th birthday party, Hubert realised that he had no one to continue his work when he is gone. After days hidden in the lab, he emerged announcing that the clone he'd been growing the past twelve years would be his heir. Unfortunately, [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] did not want to follow in his footsteps. Farnsworth finally decided that his life was over, and revealed his actual age, 160, the age at which [[Sunset Squad Robot]]s would come and take him away to the [[Near Death Star]]. Soon after a rescue by his crew, Cubert finally decided to carry on with Farnsworth's research.<br />
<br />
=== Corporate Takeover ===<br />
After a brief reunion with Mom on [[Mother's Day (holiday)|Mother's Day]] of the previous year, 3002 saw Farnsworth's company taken over twice. On the first occasion, Cubert and Hermes' son [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] expanded their paper route to consume Planet Express. Soon after this takeover, [[Awesome Express]] fell apart due to poor management. On the second occasion, a shareholder meeting resulted in a [[That Guy|mysterious stranger]] taking over as CEO from Farnsworth. This person's running of the company was more successful, despite no deliveries being made during this time. Inevitably the company dropped back to its original poor stock price after the new CEO's death and Farnsworth's reinstatement. Planet Express was also taken over by The Scammers because Farnsworth unwittingly signed a document transferring ownership of Planet Express to them, thinking it was a form to accept the money from a Spanish lottery.<br />
<br />
=== Old Problems ===<br />
When a heatwave hits and the usual method to counteract [[global warming]] fail, the Professor is forced to admit that all modern robots are descended from his designs, which produce lots of pollution. The scientists at the conference plan to destroy the robots is soon thwarted and Hubert received a medal for saving [[Earth|the planet]] and its robots. About a week later after his staff decided that he had become too old, they took him to [[The Bubbling Geezer]] a visit that resulted in everyone becoming younger. The eventual resolution of this situation took them to the [[Fountain of Aging]], where the waters made him "even older" than he had been.<br />
<br />
=== Dark Matters ===<br />
[[File:FarnsworthIgner.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Over the years, Farnsworth's feud with Wernstrom continued to grow, and when an [[anomaly]] forms a short distance from the Earth the pair compete in [[Deathball]] to decide who will investigate. After Farnsworth's investigation proved unsuccessful the pair found themselves united for the first time since the pop quiz as they collaborated in research together, protested and shared a prison cell. But their new found friendship fell apart once more following an inter-universe relationship with [[Yivo]].<br />
<br />
When Mom faked a dark matter shortage in [[3008]] in order to increase the price of dark matter worldwide, Farnsworth finally told the tale of how he discovered it, and decided to end it all, so that scientists could spend their time on developing cleaner fuels, such as [[Whale Oil]]. Farnsworth managed to enter Mom's dark matter mine in Alaska, which turned out to be a [[Nibblonian]] farm, where Mom had kept Nibblonians imprisoned for years to produce dark matter. However, with the help of his crew and his long lost son Igner, Farnsworth managed to bring the crystals close enough together to render dark matter useless. After converting to whale oil and receiving a few bribes for scientific endorsements, he joined the rest of the crew on a journey into a wormhole. Although most of the crew were killed as the ship crashed into Earth in early [[3010]], he survives and brings them [[Rebirth|back to life]].<br />
<br />
=== Awards ===<br />
Professor Farnsworth has been given the following awards.<br />
*The [[Academy of Inventors]] award of [[3000]] {{et|1ACV08}}.<br />
*One Fields Medal ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
*The [[Polluting Medal of Pollution]] {{et|4ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
[[File:Farnsworth promo.png|right|thumb|125px|Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]]<br />
Farnsworth has at on at least 3 occasions gone back to [[Farnsworth-Mom relationship|his major love]], [[Mom]]. At around age 90, he worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]], where he designed robots for the company as well as toys, such as [[Q. T. McWhiskers]], but Mom's suggestion of turning the toy into a giant made Farnsworth leave her, because she simply didn't understand him and from then on [[Mom-Farnsworth conflict|conflict grew between them]].<br />
<br />
He would later return to Mom's company to work on creating actual robots, but back then, robots were stiff moving and not very efficient, however, when he sacrificed fuel efficiency, he succeeded, unfortunately, this robot design also caused [[global warming]]. Why he left Mom this time remains unsettled, but it may be because he once realised she was evil.<br />
<br />
On a third occasion, Farnsworth was once again at the company with Mom, where he discovered the secret of [[Dark Matter]], around the time where [[Walt, Larry and Igner|Mom's sons]] were born. But when he found out she had left him for [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom]], he left once again.<br />
<br />
While his relationship with Mom has certainly been his largest, it has not been his only one. During a brief period of regaining the appearance of youth using stem cells from [[GeneWorks, S.K.G.]], he found a [[April|girl willing to date him]], although she also turned out to have used her tax rebate for a belly ring to make her appear thinner. There was also a brief fling with [[Hattie]] while they were on the ''[[Titanic]]''. However since then, Hattie seems to hold a strong hatred towards him; accusing him of being a "cat hater".<br />
<br />
In the episode "[[Proposition Infinity]]", it is shown that the Professor had a 40 year long relationship with a woman whom he met before [[Mom]]. This woman cheated on the Professor with a robot which caused the Professor's hatred towards [[Robosexuality|robossexual]] couples. It was also later revealed that that woman was herself a robot, and her name was [[Unit 47]].<br />
<br />
A creepy utilization of his body occurred in "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", when he trades bodies with Amy. Amy then proceeds to trade bodies with Leela, causing Fry to himself trade bodies with Dr. Zoidberg. Leela used Farnsworth's body to prove that her relationship with Fry is partially physical. At dinner, Leela (in Farnsworth's Body) is disgusted by Fry (in Zoidberg's body), and vice-versa. When Leela-Farnsworth tells Fry-Zoidberg to prove his love, Fry-Zoidberg passionately kisses Leela-Farnsworth. This eventually leads to Leela-Farnsworth having Intercourse with Fry-Zoidberg. this marks the first known time he physically slept with a male. Mentally, however, Leela was the one who slept with Fry-Zoidberg.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Professor's eyes.JPG|right|thumb|Professor Farnsworth's eyes]]<br />
[[File:Farnsworth's Reading Glasses.jpg|right|thumb|Professor Farnsworth's reading glasses]]<br />
*He was named Farnsworth in honor of [[Philo Farnsworth]], the inventor of modern television, which was unveiled to America at the same World's Fair as {{w|Futurama (New York World's Fair)|the ''Futurama'' exhibit}} that the show is named for, in [[1939]]. Additionally, the name ''Hubert'' roughly translates as ''bright mind'' in {{w|Proto-Germanic language|old Germanic}}.<br />
*There are only two episodes of the show in which the Professor does not appear: "[[The Why of Fry]]" and "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]" (which are consecutive).<br />
*The Professor's eyes are never shown to the audience in the main television series, even when he is depicted at a much younger age. The only time they are seen is in the comic book story, "[[Downsized!]]". This may not have been authorized by [[Matt Groening]].<br />
*He has the same blood type as [[Amy Wong]]. He has stated that is one of the reasons why he likes "keeping her around" ([[The Series Has Landed|1ACV02]]).<br />
*For {{es|6ACV26}}, he was possibly part of those [[Characters who swap voices]]<br />
*Farnsworth is drawn with a gut which resembles that of Bart Simpson but, every time he lifts his shirt, he is shown to be underweight. <br />
*His bank account number is 299792458, which is the [[speed of light]] in meters per second.<br />
*Became a [[Great Wizard Greyfarn|wizard]] (quite possibly a parody of {{w|Gandalf}}) in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*A running gag with the writers is to drop hints in the show that the professor is a cannibal of sorts.<br />
*Also known as "the Catman," due to his ability to land on his feet after falling great distances. However, prior to "[[Bender's Game]]", it had either been so long, or his memory had become so poor, that he himself forgot why they called him the Catman.<br />
*Has a "Thug Life" tattoo on his back.<br />
*His driving position is up against the windscreen of the ship, a parody of the stereotypes of elderly drivers.<br />
*As seen in flashbacks, the Professor had red hair when he was younger, just like Fry. Additionally, some of these flashbacks give him the same hairstyle as his distant ancestor.<br />
*At the start of the series, Farnsworth's voice sounded like a much older, slightly pitched-down version of Fry's voice. As time went on, it became more distinct, partly due to concerns by the creators that viewers with poor eyesight would find it hard to distinguish between the two relatives.<br />
*He is probably the oldest living human on [[Earth]], excluding the [[heads in jars]] and people who were [[cryogenic]]ally frozen, because of his escape from the [[Near Death Star]] {{et|2ACV10}}, although his [[time travel]]ing would make him, chronologically, much, much older.<br />
*The Professor is assumed to be the descendant of [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] and his wife. However, in the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000#Scenes 71-87|storyboard]] for "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", the Professor is suggested to be descended from [[Fry's sister]] and a presumed brother-in-law named [[Eddie Farnsworth]]. Both Fry's sister and Eddie Farnsworth were later cut from the [[Futurama|the show]] altogether. <br />
*In an episode of {{w|Phineas & Ferb}}, a character's full name is given as Hubert Farnsworth.<br />
*As revealed by an offhand comment in "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]", Farnsworth appears to be a Catholic, or perhaps a [[Space Catholicism|Space Catholic]], though he is quite possibly a [[Satan|devil]] worshiper, as revealed in "[[Calculon 2.0]]" (and implied in other episodes).<br />
** In [[Simpsorama]] Farnsworth states that he is an atheist. <br />
*The Professor sometimes pronounces 'w' as 'hw'; that is, he pronounces the 'h' in words like 'what'. The odd thing about this is that he also adds this 'h' sound in to words that don't have it (orthographically or historically in its pronunciation). For example, in [[Bender's Game]], when he asks Fry to grab the waistband of his underwear, he adds the 'h' sound in with the 'w' in 'waist'. Stranger still, his use of the 'w' v. 'hw' sounds is in {{w|free variation}}, or he uses one sometimes, then the other, in the same words, with no pattern. This inconsistency appears to be an oversight on [[Billy West]]'s part.<br />
<br />
=== Sayings ===<br />
====Catchphrase====<br />
Originally, the professor's catchphrase was going to be "...though [[I am already in my pajamas]]." This was only used in [[Space Pilot 3000|the first]] and [[The Series Has Landed|second]] episodes.<br />
<br/> The professor's basic catchphrase is "[[Good news, everyone]]!" The phrase is used so frequently that it was already possible to joke about it in the [[My Three Suns|seventh episode]].<br /><br />
<br />
He also occasionally refers to "[[Zombie Jesus]]" either by saying "Sweet Zombie Jesus" or "Holy Zombie Jesus".<br />
<br />
When he is spoken to or asked a question, he also commonly says "Eh-wha?" This is used often to emphasize his senility and hearing loss. <br />
<br />
Occasionally, he will say something along the lines of "What in ________ happened?!" For instance, "What in Sega Genesis happened to you?!" or "What in [[Satan]]'s glorious name is going on here?!"<br />
<br />
Another "catchphrase" used by the Professor is "Oh My..."<br />
<br />
Farnsworth also likes to use the phrase "Fuff" as a way of saying "Forget it" or "It was nothing" or "Baloney".<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he likes to dismiss other people's opinions by saying "Quiet, you!", often to people who have just actually contributed something useful to a discussion.<br />
<br />
The last catchphrase used by the Professor is "Wernstrom!"<br />

<br />
'''Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth''' is an aged, eccentric, yet accomplished inventor, founder and owner of [[Planet Express]] and an honorary [[Globetrotter]]. He is crotchety, absent-minded and sometimes brilliant, most well-known for his work in [[Sport-Utility Robot|30th century robotics]]. In [[2999]], he was the last known relative of [[Philip J. Fry]]. Later, Professor Farnsworth discovered that he had fathered a son, as well as the [[Cubert|clone]] that he had kept hidden. In addition, he also serves as a tenured professor at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] teaching the Mathematics of Quantum Neutrino Fields. Farnsworth is an inventor of both useful and impractical things, some of which are extremely dangerous, such as his [[Doomsday devices]].<br />
<br />
Personality-wise, he varies from callous disregard to sentimental affection. He has no objection to sending his crew on missions which may eventually kill them, and has sent previous crews to their deaths before. (At times, he even seems eager to send crews on life-threatening missions.) Farnsworth is the oldest living member of the [[Academy of Inventors]], where he often competes with his arch nemesis, [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Hubert Farnsworth is a mad scientist, though how extreme this tendency is varies depending on how writers feel best suits the episode. Farnsworth's name comes from {{w|Philo Farnsworth}}, who invented the television. In addition, his first name, Hubert, may come from [[Eric Kaplan]]'s former professor, {{w|Hubert Dreyfus}}. The only thing his name has in common with the name of Philip J. Fry is the unsettled "J." as their middle initial, but this may just be a common joke [[Matt Groening]] sets for his characters.<br />
<br />
Though Professor Farnsworth is a genius, he is also very senile and sometimes forgets things that had happened only moments earlier. He also has a habit of saying "[[Good news, everyone]]", which more often than not means bad news. He is known for following up his statements with completely contradictory statements, such as [[The Sting#Quotes|his definition]] of [[Space Honey]] from "[[The Sting]]". Hubert also often appears indifferent to the welfare of his crew, often sending them on dangerous missions which could get them killed, though it's highly unlikely that he does this intentionally. He could also sometimes have periods of maniacal laughter. However Farnsworth isn't actually a bad person and appears to share some level of friendship with the other members of Planet Express. He also cares about his clone, Cubert, treating him as though he were his biological son.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth also enjoys public nudity, and may have been convicted. His urge to undress becomes much greater around [[Xmas]].<br />
<br />
One of the most frequent recurring gags in the show is that Farnsworth says/acts something but immediately the truth was that his intentions were the opposite compared to how it seemed. One example is in That Darn Katz! where Farnsworth complains that he is trying to run a meeting while the Planet Express Crew try to pet Professor Katz's cat then he states that means he should be the one petting the kitty.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early Life ===<br />
[[File:YoungFarnsworth.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Hubert J. Farnsworth was born on {{date|9 April}}, {{year|2841}} in a prison &ndash; although claimed until {{year|3001}} that it was actually 2851 &ndash; in the nerdiest slum of [[New New York]], [[Hell's Laboratory]]. At age 8, he learned to read, albeit while still in diapers.<br />
<br />
Hubert enjoyed his teenage years as a nerd with an affection for role-playing games. After 14 years of graduate school, Farnsworth became a scientist and designed such things as [[fast cars]], [[trendy night spots]] and [[beautiful women]], all out of his one-room apartment. Evidence suggests that he may also have been a hippie and a disco boy, possibly during graduate school. In [[7ACV10|The Near Death-Wish]], it is revealed that Hubert spent 25 years in a mental institution at the behest of [[Farnsworth's parents|his parents]].<br />
<br />
=== Career path ===<br />
By [[2900]] Farnsworth had taken a teaching position at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] where his most promising student was an up and coming young science undergrad<!--around 20yrs old, probably undergrad then--> named [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Ogden Wernstrom]]. Sadly, the two had a falling out over a pop-quiz score which lead to Wernstrom's hundred year quest for revenge {{et|1ACV11}}. While retaining a role at the university, Hubert assisted [[Unit 47]] in curing the posy infestation {{et|6ACV04}} and was eventually hired at [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]], staying there for the next fifty years. During this time his inventiveness lead to the creation of many new products and breakthrough technologies, such as the use of [[Dark Matter]] as fuel, the [[First Robot Capable of Qualifying for a Boat Loan|first robot capable of qualifying for a boat loan]] {{et|2ACV10}} and a [[Sport-Utility Robot|sport-utility robot]], the design of which would become the basis of all robots running in the early 31st century {{et|4ACV08}}. It was during this time he also began an [[Mom-Farnsworth relationship|on-again, off-again relationship]] with [[Mom]] {{et|2ACV14}}, the owner of the company, who was having a similar relationship with Wernstrom. By the end of this period, Mom had fallen pregnant with [[Igner|their child]], a secret she would keep from him for many years ([[Bender's Game|BG]]). While on a mission for Mom in [[2927]] on [[Triton]], Farnsworth contracted [[Yetiism]] and was only cured in [[3011]] in the [[Planet Express headquarters]] {{et|6ACV18}} by Dr Zoidberg.<br />
<br />
=== Planet Express ===<br />
After numerous tries with Mom, and with a need for money to fund his research, he founded [[Planet Express]], an interstellar delivery company, on 2961. He hired his friend of 34 years, [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] as the company's staff doctor. [[Hermes Conrad]] was hired as the company's bureaucrat some time later. In {{year|2998}}, [[Amy Wong]] entered the company as an engineering intern, but has since remained in the company for several years. Also in his employ is Scruffy, the company janitor who lives in the basement of Planet Express.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth has had numerous crews, whom he frequently sends to their doom. As a result many have died horribly or gone missing; the first crew hired were swallowed by a [[Four-dimensional space whale]]. Shortly after one such instance, late on the {{date|31 December|text=31st of December}} 2999 {{et|1ACV01}}, he learned that he was not the last surviving member of his family. His long lost and far removed uncle, [[Philip J. Fry]], had just been defrosted. Fry, [[Turanga Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]] were hired early the next morning and have been his longest surviving crew, who despite 12 years in the company remain alive.<br />
<br />
Farnsworth doesn't always just send his crew on simple delivery missions, but has sent them on charity missions as well as highly controversial missions. Even when his crew and company is unrelated or unsuited to the task, he isn't shy to send them along anyway.<br />
<br />
=== Legacy ===<br />
[[File:A Clone of My Own.jpg|right|thumb]]<br />
As a member of the [[Academy of Inventors]], the Professor has created [[#Creations|many things]]. Often these don't live up to his expectations and are ridiculed by his fellow inventors. Occasionally, however, they can help save the day; the [[Smell-O-Scope]] for instance was laughed at by colleagues and Wernstrom had his revenge by giving it a poor grade, shortly afterward it detected a [[giant ball of garbage]] in space that was on a collision course with [[New New York]]. After the Planet Express crew averted the crisis, Wernstrom once more announced a thirst for revenge.<br />
<br />
After his 150th birthday party, Hubert realised that he had no one to continue his work when he is gone. After days hidden in the lab, he emerged announcing that the clone he'd been growing the past twelve years would be his heir. Unfortunately, [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] did not want to follow in his footsteps. Farnsworth finally decided that his life was over, and revealed his actual age, 160, the age at which [[Sunset Squad Robot]]s would come and take him away to the [[Near Death Star]]. Soon after a rescue by his crew, Cubert finally decided to carry on with Farnsworth's research.<br />
<br />
=== Corporate Takeover ===<br />
After a brief reunion with Mom on [[Mother's Day (holiday)|Mother's Day]] of the previous year, 3002 saw Farnsworth's company taken over twice. On the first occasion, Cubert and Hermes' son [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] expanded their paper route to consume Planet Express. Soon after this takeover, [[Awesome Express]] fell apart due to poor management. On the second occasion, a shareholder meeting resulted in a [[That Guy|mysterious stranger]] taking over as CEO from Farnsworth. This person's running of the company was more successful, despite no deliveries being made during this time. Inevitably the company dropped back to its original poor stock price after the new CEO's death and Farnsworth's reinstatement. Planet Express was also taken over by The Scammers because Farnsworth unwittingly signed a document transferring ownership of Planet Express to them, thinking it was a form to accept the money from a Spanish lottery.<br />
<br />
=== Old Problems ===<br />
When a heatwave hits and the usual method to counteract [[global warming]] fail, the Professor is forced to admit that all modern robots are descended from his designs, which produce lots of pollution. The scientists at the conference plan to destroy the robots is soon thwarted and Hubert received a medal for saving [[Earth|the planet]] and its robots. About a week later after his staff decided that he had become too old, they took him to [[The Bubbling Geezer]] a visit that resulted in everyone becoming younger. The eventual resolution of this situation took them to the [[Fountain of Aging]], where the waters made him "even older" than he had been.<br />
<br />
=== Dark Matters ===<br />
[[File:FarnsworthIgner.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Over the years, Farnsworth's feud with Wernstrom continued to grow, and when an [[anomaly]] forms a short distance from the Earth the pair compete in [[Deathball]] to decide who will investigate. After Farnsworth's investigation proved unsuccessful the pair found themselves united for the first time since the pop quiz as they collaborated in research together, protested and shared a prison cell. But their new found friendship fell apart once more following an inter-universe relationship with [[Yivo]].<br />
<br />
When Mom faked a dark matter shortage in [[3008]] in order to increase the price of dark matter worldwide, Farnsworth finally told the tale of how he discovered it, and decided to end it all, so that scientists could spend their time on developing cleaner fuels, such as [[Whale Oil]]. Farnsworth managed to enter Mom's dark matter mine in Alaska, which turned out to be a [[Nibblonian]] farm, where Mom had kept Nibblonians imprisoned for years to produce dark matter. However, with the help of his crew and his long lost son Igner, Farnsworth managed to bring the crystals close enough together to render dark matter useless. After converting to whale oil and receiving a few bribes for scientific endorsements, he joined the rest of the crew on a journey into a wormhole. Although most of the crew were killed as the ship crashed into Earth in early [[3010]], he survives and brings them [[Rebirth|back to life]].<br />
<br />
=== Awards ===<br />
Professor Farnsworth has been given the following awards.<br />
*The [[Academy of Inventors]] award of [[3000]] {{et|1ACV08}}.<br />
*One Fields Medal ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]).<br />
*The [[Polluting Medal of Pollution]] {{et|4ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
[[File:Farnsworth promo.png|right|thumb|125px|Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]]<br />
Farnsworth has at on at least 3 occasions gone back to [[Farnsworth-Mom relationship|his major love]], [[Mom]]. At around age 90, he worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]], where he designed robots for the company as well as toys, such as [[Q. T. McWhiskers]], but Mom's suggestion of turning the toy into a giant made Farnsworth leave her, because she simply didn't understand him and from then on [[Mom-Farnsworth conflict|conflict grew between them]].<br />
<br />
He would later return to Mom's company to work on creating actual robots, but back then, robots were stiff moving and not very efficient, however, when he sacrificed fuel efficiency, he succeeded, unfortunately, this robot design also caused [[global warming]]. Why he left Mom this time remains unsettled, but it may be because he once realised she was evil.<br />
<br />
On a third occasion, Farnsworth was once again at the company with Mom, where he discovered the secret of [[Dark Matter]], around the time where [[Walt, Larry and Igner|Mom's sons]] were born. But when he found out she had left him for [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom]], he left once again.<br />
<br />
While his relationship with Mom has certainly been his largest, it has not been his only one. During a brief period of regaining the appearance of youth using stem cells from [[GeneWorks, S.K.G.]], he found a [[April|girl willing to date him]], although she also turned out to have used her tax rebate for a belly ring to make her appear thinner. There was also a brief fling with [[Hattie]] while they were on the ''[[Titanic]]''. However since then, Hattie seems to hold a strong hatred towards him; accusing him of being a "cat hater".<br />
<br />
In the episode "[[Proposition Infinity]]", it is shown that the Professor had a 40 year long relationship with a woman whom he met before [[Mom]]. This woman cheated on the Professor with a robot which caused the Professor's hatred towards [[Robosexuality|robossexual]] couples. It was also later revealed that that woman was herself a robot, and her name was [[Unit 47]].<br />
<br />
A creepy utilization of his body occurred in "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", when he trades bodies with Amy. Amy then proceeds to trade bodies with Leela, causing Fry to himself trade bodies with Dr. Zoidberg. Leela used Farnsworth's body to prove that her relationship with Fry is partially physical. At dinner, Leela (in Farnsworth's Body) is disgusted by Fry (in Zoidberg's body), and vice-versa. When Leela-Farnsworth tells Fry-Zoidberg to prove his love, Fry-Zoidberg passionately kisses Leela-Farnsworth. This eventually leads to Leela-Farnsworth having Intercourse with Fry-Zoidberg. this marks the first known time he physically slept with a male. Mentally, however, Leela was the one who slept with Fry-Zoidberg.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Professor's eyes.JPG|right|thumb|Professor Farnsworth's eyes]]<br />
[[File:Farnsworth's Reading Glasses.jpg|right|thumb|Professor Farnsworth's reading glasses]]<br />
*He was named Farnsworth in honor of [[Philo Farnsworth]], the inventor of modern television, which was unveiled to America at the same World's Fair as {{w|Futurama (New York World's Fair)|the ''Futurama'' exhibit}} that the show is named for, in [[1939]]. Additionally, the name ''Hubert'' roughly translates as ''bright mind'' in {{w|Proto-Germanic language|old Germanic}}.<br />
*There are only two episodes of the show in which the Professor does not appear: "[[The Why of Fry]]" and "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]" (which are consecutive).<br />
*The Professor's eyes are never shown to the audience in the main television series, even when he is depicted at a much younger age. The only time they are seen is in the comic book story, "[[Downsized!]]". This may not have been authorized by [[Matt Groening]].<br />
*He has the same blood type as [[Amy Wong]]. He has stated that is one of the reasons why he likes "keeping her around" ([[The Series Has Landed|1ACV02]]).<br />
*For {{es|6ACV26}}, he was possibly part of those [[Characters who swap voices]]<br />
*Farnsworth is drawn with a gut which resembles that of Bart Simpson but, every time he lifts his shirt, he is shown to be underweight. <br />
*His bank account number is 299792458, which is the [[speed of light]] in meters per second.<br />
*Became a [[Great Wizard Greyfarn|wizard]] (quite possibly a parody of {{w|Gandalf}}) in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*A running gag with the writers is to drop hints in the show that the professor is a cannibal of sorts.<br />
*Also known as "the Catman," due to his ability to land on his feet after falling great distances. However, prior to "[[Bender's Game]]", it had either been so long, or his memory had become so poor, that he himself forgot why they called him the Catman.<br />
*Has a "Thug Life" tattoo on his back.<br />
*His driving position is up against the windscreen of the ship, a parody of the stereotypes of elderly drivers.<br />
*As seen in flashbacks, the Professor had red hair when he was younger, just like Fry. Additionally, some of these flashbacks give him the same hairstyle as his distant ancestor.<br />
*At the start of the series, Farnsworth's voice sounded like a much older, slightly pitched-down version of Fry's voice. As time went on, it became more distinct, partly due to concerns by the creators that viewers with poor eyesight would find it hard to distinguish between the two relatives.<br />
*He is probably the oldest living human on [[Earth]], excluding the [[heads in jars]] and people who were [[cryogenic]]ally frozen, because of his escape from the [[Near Death Star]] {{et|2ACV10}}, although his [[time travel]]ing would make him, chronologically, much, much older.<br />
*The Professor is assumed to be the descendant of [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] and his wife. However, in the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000#Scenes 71-87|storyboard]] for "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", the Professor is suggested to be descended from [[Fry's sister]] and a presumed brother-in-law named [[Eddie Farnsworth]]. Both Fry's sister and Eddie Farnsworth were later cut from the [[Futurama|the show]] altogether. <br />
*In an episode of {{w|Phineas & Ferb}}, a character's full name is given as Hubert Farnsworth.<br />
*As revealed by an offhand comment in "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]", Farnsworth appears to be a Catholic, or perhaps a [[Space Catholicism|Space Catholic]], though he is quite possibly a [[Satan|devil]] worshiper, as revealed in "[[Calculon 2.0]]" (and implied in other episodes).<br />
** In [[Simpsorama]] Farnsworth states that he is an atheist. <br />
*The Professor sometimes pronounces 'w' as 'hw'; that is, he pronounces the 'h' in words like 'what'. The odd thing about this is that he also adds this 'h' sound in to words that don't have it (orthographically or historically in its pronunciation). For example, in [[Bender's Game]], when he asks Fry to grab the waistband of his underwear, he adds the 'h' sound in with the 'w' in 'waist'. Stranger still, his use of the 'w' v. 'hw' sounds is in {{w|free variation}}, or he uses one sometimes, then the other, in the same words, with no pattern. This inconsistency appears to be an oversight on [[Billy West]]'s part.<br />
<br />
=== Sayings ===<br />
====Catchphrase====<br />
Originally, the professor's catchphrase was going to be "...though [[I am already in my pajamas]]." This was only used in [[Space Pilot 3000|the first]] and [[The Series Has Landed|second]] episodes.<br />
<br/> The professor's basic catchphrase is "[[Good news, everyone]]!" The phrase is used so frequently that it was already possible to joke about it in the [[My Three Suns|seventh episode]].<br /><br />
<br />
He also occasionally refers to "[[Zombie Jesus]]" either by saying "Sweet Zombie Jesus" or "Holy Zombie Jesus".<br />
<br />
When he is spoken to or asked a question, he also commonly says "Eh-wha?" This is used often to emphasize his senility and hearing loss. <br />
<br />
Occasionally, he will say something along the lines of "What in ________ happened?!" For instance, "What in Sega Genesis happened to you?!" or "What in [[Satan]]'s glorious name is going on here?!"<br />
<br />
Another "catchphrase" used by the Professor is "Oh My..."<br />
<br />
Farnsworth also likes to use the phrase "Fuff" as a way of saying "Forget it" or "It was nothing" or "Baloney".<br />
<br />
Furthermore, he likes to dismiss other people's opinions by saying "Quiet, you!", often to people who have just actually contributed something useful to a discussion.<br />
<br />
The last catchphrase used by the Professor is "Wernstrom!"<br />

'''Yancy Fry Jr.''' (born c. 1971) is the elder son of [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] and [[Mrs. Fry]], and brother to [[Philip J. Fry]]. <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
<br />
Yancy frequently belittled his three years younger brother [[Philip J. Fry|Philip]] from birth, partly because of the attention their parents spent on their new baby instead of him, and partly because he wanted his brother's name instead of [[Yancy Fry|his own]].<br />
<br />
In their teens, Philip was talented at both basketball and break dancing, while Yancy was always mediocre. Due to jealousy, Yancy would steal Philip's original moves and claim them as his own. After his brother found a [[seven-leaf clover]] and succeeded in pulling off an impossible move, Yancy tried to steal the clover, forcing Philip to hide it in his [[Ronco Record Vault]].<br />

On 1 January, [[2000]], Yancy's brother goes missing. Unbeknown to the family, he has accidentally [[cryogenics|been frozen]]. While his parents seem neutral to the disappearance, Yancy was surprisingly more concerned. After finally giving up the search, he continued his life.<br />
<br />
Before Yancy's wedding several years later, while looking for records in Philip's old Ronco Vault, he found the [[seven-leaf clover]], but decided not to use it, but keep it as a reminder of his brother. <br />
<br />
When [[Yancy Fry Jr.'s wife|his wife]] gave birth to a child, they agreed to name him [[Philip J. Fry, II|Philip J. Fry]] after his brother, and Yancy gave him Philip's old seven leaf clover, thus ensuring his future success.<br />
<br />
=== Post-mortem ===<br />
Yancy's son did grow up with great luck, and, among other accomplishments, had a series of hit songs with his band Leaf Seven, and was the first man to walk on [[Mars]].<br />
<br />
Yancy's brother woke up from the accidental freezing a thousand years later, long after Yancy had passed on. After finding a statue in the ruins of [[Old New York]] with his (and his nephew's) name on it three years after the freezing, he believed that Yancy had stolen his clover and his life, and he planned to rob his brother's [[Orbiting Meadows|grave]] of the clover, which he had been buried with. Reaching the grave, however, he realized that it was of his nephew and not his brother, and he left the clover there.<br />
<br />
=== Time paradox duplicate ===<br />
These events were slightly altered when time paradox created a [[time paradox duplicate|duplicate]] of Philip J. Fry I which lived for another twelve years in the [[21st century]] after the original Philip was frozen before going missing again. However, despite his brother technically not being frozen, Yancy still named his son after him.<br />

Private '''Enos Fry''' was a [[United States Army]] private as of [[1947]]. He was originally [[Philip J. Fry]]'s grandfather until Fry's time travel and interference led to his death. Shortly afterwards, Fry impregnated his grandmother, thereby becoming his own grandfather. <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Enos was a Private First Class stationed at [[Roswell Army Air Field]] in [[1947]] and was engaged to a woman named [[Mildred Fry|Mildred]]. <br />
<br />
When the [[Planet Express crew]] accidentally arrives in July 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, [[Philip J. Fry]] realizes his paternal grandparents, Enos and Mildred, worked there. He runs into Enos, and becomes paranoid to keep him alive. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] had previously told Fry to keep away from Enos to avoid a [[time paradox]], but Fry insisted on following Enos, trying to coax him out of homosexual (or bisexual) fantasies and being overly protective to keep him (and his reproductive organs) alive and well.<br />
<br />
Fry eventually took Enos to the middle of nowhere, which turned out to be an atomic test site where Enos was killed in a nuclear blast. Fry's horror struck that he just killed his own grandfather and wonders why he still exists. When he returns to comfort Mildred, she seduces him. Fry believes that Mildred can't be his grandmother, Professor Farnsworth points out that Fry has become his own grandfather, creating a {{w|bootstrap paradox}}.<br />
<br />
Original Enos was related to the Fry's generations until Fry impregnated his own grandmother, they had been led to believe that Enos was in fact, Yancy Fry Sr.'s father. This was the case until Fry impregnate his own grandmother, be due to Mildred not wanting to admit she slept with anyone other than her fiancé.<br />

Private '''Enos Fry''' was a [[United States Army]] private as of [[1947]]. He was originally [[Philip J. Fry]]'s grandfather until Fry's time travel and interference led to his death. Shortly afterwards, Fry impregnated his grandmother, thereby becoming his own grandfather. <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Enos was a Private First Class stationed at [[Roswell Army Air Field]] in [[1947]] and was engaged to a woman named [[Mildred Fry|Mildred]]. <br />
<br />
When the [[Planet Express crew]] accidentally arrives in July 1947 Roswell, New Mexico, [[Philip J. Fry]] realizes his paternal grandparents, Enos and Mildred, worked there. He runs into Enos, and becomes paranoid to keep him alive. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] had previously told Fry to keep away from Enos to avoid a [[time paradox]], but Fry insisted on following Enos, trying to coax him out of homosexual (or bisexual) fantasies and being overly protective to keep him (and his reproductive organs) alive and well.<br />
<br />
Fry eventually took Enos to the middle of nowhere, which turned out to be an atomic test site where Enos was killed in a nuclear blast. Fry's horror struck that he just killed his own grandfather and wonders why he still exists. When he returns to comfort Mildred, she seduces him. Fry believes that Mildred can't be his grandmother, Professor Farnsworth points out that Fry has become his own grandfather, creating a {{w|bootstrap paradox}}.<br />
<br />
Despite not actually being related to later Fry generations, they had been led to believe that Enos was in fact, Yancy Fry Sr.'s father. This may possibly be due to Mildred not wanting to admit she slept with anyone other than her fiancé.<br />

'''Yancy Fry Sr.''' is the father of [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] and [[Philip J. Fry]] who lived in [[Fry's house|a completely trashed house]] somewhere in {{w|Flatbush}}, {{w|Brooklyn}}. He was a [[Vietnam War|Vietnam]] veteran and spent most of his time building a nuclear bomb shelter for fear of a communist attack. His worries about the {{w|Y2K}} computer bug made him believe it was the cause of Philip's disappearance. Yancy Sr. and [[Mrs. Fry]] did not care about their son and thought sending him to school was a waste of tax money and did not bother much looking for him when he was frozen on New Year's Day, 2000.<br />

Yancy Fry Sr. actually did care a lot about his son, as shown in the episode "Cold Warriors." Yancy Jr. and Phillip went ice fishing in the 1980s, when Fry was a young teenager. When Fry fell through ice, his father saved him. Yancy Fry Sr. would often invoke dramatic irony, telling his cold son to "bundle up" as he did not want him to freeze.<br />
Yancy Fry Sr. was a soldier and fought in the Vietnam war. He did this in style by wearing a camouflage tuxedo which his son Yancy Jr. wore at his wedding.<br />
<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*According to Philip...<br />
**Yancy was fired from {{w|McDonald's}} {{et|1ACV12}} and always said that "you could tell a lot about a man by the rigidity of his shins" {{et|6ACV22}}.<br />
**Yancy and Mrs. Fry were honest, hard-working people {{et|1ACV11}} and were always on him to groom himself and wear underpants {{et|2ACV07}}.<br />
*Was once trapped in a Swiss glacier for an entire week, eating nothing but frozen Neanderthals. {{et|6ACV24}}<br />
*Was once a door-to-door trampoline salesman and never took a single day off, even when he broke his spine. {{et|6ACV24}}<br />
*Yancy Sr. stated to his son [[Yancy Fry, Jr.]] that Yancy was a family name, saying "Your name is Yancy, just like me and my grandfather" {{et|3ACV04}}. This is a bit of situational irony, because it would later be shown that his son, [[Philip J. Fry]], traveled back in time and fathered him {{et|3ACV19}}, meaning that he is his own grandfather and, thus, his grandfather's name is indeed Yancy.<br />

'''Yancy Fry Jr.''' (born c. 1971) is the elder son of [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] and [[Mrs. Fry]], and brother to [[Philip J. Fry]]. <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
<br />
Yancy frequently belittled his three years younger brother [[Philip J. Fry|Philip]] from birth, partly because of the attention their parents spent on their new baby instead of him, and partly because he wanted his brother's name instead of [[Yancy Fry|his own]].<br />
<br />
In their teens, Philip was talented at both basketball and break dancing, while Yancy was always mediocre. Due to jealousy, Yancy would steal Philip's original moves and claim them as his own. After his brother found a [[seven-leaf clover]] and succeeded in pulling off an impossible move, Yancy tried to steal the clover, forcing Philip to hide it in his [[Ronco Record Vault]].<br />
<br />
=== Adult life ===<br />
<br />
On 1 January, [[2000]], Yancy's brother goes missing. Unbeknown to the family, he has accidentally [[cryogenics|been frozen]]. While his parents seem neutral to the disappearance, Yancy was surprisingly more concerned. After finally giving up the search, he continued his life.<br />
<br />
Before Yancy's wedding several years later, while looking for records in Philip's old Ronco Vault, he found the [[seven-leaf clover]], but decided not to use it, but keep it as a reminder of his brother. <br />
<br />
When [[Yancy Fry Jr.'s wife|his wife]] gave birth to a child, they agreed to name him [[Philip J. Fry, II|Philip J. Fry]] after his brother, and Yancy gave him Philip's old seven leaf clover, thus ensuring his future success.<br />
<br />
=== Post-mortem ===<br />
Yancy's son did grow up with great luck, and, among other accomplishments, had a series of hit songs with his band Leaf Seven, and was the first man to walk on [[Mars]].<br />
<br />
Yancy's brother woke up from the accidental freezing a thousand years later, long after Yancy had passed on. After finding a statue in the ruins of [[Old New York]] with his (and his nephew's) name on it three years after the freezing, he believed that Yancy had stolen his clover and his life, and he planned to rob his brother's [[Orbiting Meadows|grave]] of the clover, which he had been buried with. Reaching the grave, however, he realized that it was of his nephew and not his brother, and he left the clover there.<br />
<br />
=== Time paradox duplicate ===<br />
These events were slightly altered when time paradox created a [[time paradox duplicate|duplicate]] of Philip J. Fry I which lived for another twelve years in the [[21st century]] after the original Philip was frozen before going missing again. However, despite his brother technically not being frozen, Yancy still named his son after him.<br />

{{redirects|Fry|other people named Fry|Fry (disambiguation)}}<br />
'''Philip J. Fry''' (often referred to only by his last name, ''Fry'') Fry is the main protagonist and character of ''[[Futurama]]''. In the future, Fry is the executive delivery boy of [[Planet Express]], which his distant nephew [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] owns. Before being employed by Planet Express in the year 3000 he had worked for [[Panucci's Pizza]] during the late [[20th century]]. On New Year's Eve 1999 he was cryogenically frozen by accident while on delivery. The [[cryo-tube]] timer was set at 1000 years; hence Fry woke to the last moments of the year [[2999]].<br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
[[File:Fry.png|left|thumb|100px|Philip J. Fry]]<br />
Philip J. Fry is a dim-witted man from the 20th century who gets frozen for 1,000 years, thawing out on New Year's Eve 2999. His character is largely an attempt by the show's creators to make the connection between the 20th century and the [[31st century]] much easier for the viewers. Often, Fry is faced with differences in the future, which he then relates to things in his time. As a result, he frequently has to defend the actions of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
Although he is often depicted as stupid, Fry does occasionally come up with brilliant schemes to save the day, an ability which possibly comes from his intense love of ''[[Star Trek]]''. Fry, rivaled only by the [[energy being]] of [[Melllvar]], has the largest encyclopaedic knowledge of ''Star Trek'' in the future. Another example of Fry's occasional brilliance was during the [[Brain Spawn]] attack on [[Earth]]. With the rest of the crew stupefied, Fry was able to save Earth by exploiting the Brainspawn's weaknesses. Strangely enough, Fry's stupidity appears to be his greatest strength as he the only known person in the universe who lacks a [[Delta brainwave]] and therefore is immune to the Brainspawn's stupification fields. [[Ken]], a [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]], has noted he possesses a "superior yet inferior" mind. He lacks the Delta brainwave because he is actually his own grandfather {{et|3ACV19}}.<br />
<br />
Also because he lacks the Delta brainwave, he is immune to telepathy {{et|5ACV16|2ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
Fry is also usually quick to make very rash decisions, such as traveling back to the year 2000 {{et|BBS}} or stowing away on Zapp Brannigan's ship to leave the universe after being upset about [[Colleen]] {{et|TBwaBB}}.<br />
<br />
Despite being lazy, Fry's heart is in the right place, and when the situation calls for it, he will rise up to formulate a plan to save his friends, though because of his lack of intelligence he rarely comes up with any good plans. Fry cares about his friends, and in spite of [[Bender]]'s awful treatment of him at times, he is still willing to risk his life to save him, which Bender reciprocates. However, it shows that Fry enjoys Bender being "mean" to him, because when [[Bender]] has to leave the planet express crew for his own saftey, [[Clamps]] takes his place and behaves in the same way Bender would towards Fry and Fry just laughs and continues.<br />
<br />
Fry loves video games, and as such, he is usually shown to be very good at them, although not all games. He never actually managed to finish the final enemy on ''{{w|Space Invaders}}''; he always had to get his brother Yancy to do it for him. Though he may not be good at all games, his skills have made him a crackshot, and he usually mans the ship's weapons when they are under attack. He has also got a lot better at fighting, by "Fun on a Bun" {{et|7ACV08}} Also, Fry absolutely loves sewers, he once surfed (was surprisingly good) in various sewers around Earth cities with [[Turanga Morris]] & Bender, but got temporarily sick as a result.<br />
<br />
== Savantism ==<br />
Several instances throughout the series have suggested an abnormal mind tied to savantism and synesthesia:<br />
*Shown in "[[All the Presidents' Heads]]", he is a compulsive counter.<br />
*In "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" and "[[The Why of Fry]]", he is a colour-gustatory synesthete.<br />
*Throughout the series, he shows great intelligence countered by an inability to properly express it as such.<br />
*He is capable of incredible musical creativity, but lacks the physical means to express it. {{er|4ACV18}}<br />

{{further|Fry's past}}<br />
[[file:FryBirth.png|thumb|right|Fry's birth in [[1974]] with umbilical cord still attached {{et|3ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Philip J. Fry was born on August 14 [[1974]], in the [[Brooklyn Pre-Med Hospital]] in [[Old New York]], a native of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Fry is the second son of [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] and [[Mrs. Fry]].<br />
<br />
During his formative years, Fry endured a great sibling rivalry with his older brother, [[Yancy Fry Jr.|Yancy Jr]]. Yancy constantly stole his ideas and, shortly after Fry was born, even wanted his younger brother's name. Yancy also frequently belittled Fry. Fry also spent of a lot of time playing video games and watching ''[[Star Trek]]''. He was never admitted to public school because his parents felt it would be a waste of taxpayer's money.<br />
<br />
Fry never made a success of himself, and during his twenties (or late teenage years) he got a job at [[Panucci's Pizza]] as a pizza delivery boy. While working for [[Mr. Panucci]], he met up with [[Michelle]] and they began a relationship. On a delivery in [[1997]], he meets up with [[Seymour Asses]], a dog he names after the addressee of the prank caller who ordered the delivery. Seymour becomes his best friend.<br />

<br />
=== Cryogenically Frozen - for a Thousand Years ===<br />
{{further|Space Pilot 3000}}<br />
On the fateful night of New Year's Eve, 1999, Fry is sent on another prank delivery to [[I. C. Wiener]]. When he arrives at the destination, [[Applied Cryogenics]], he realizes that it is a prank, but since he won't make it back to Panucci's before midnight, he decides to celebrate the New Year where he is. Then, while leaning his chair too far backwards, he falls into a [[Cryogenic Freezing Chamber|cryogenics tube]], which closes and freezes him for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve, 2999, the tube's timer finishes and Fry wakes up again. He is not at all sad about leaving his old life behind, and actually happy and relieved that it is all now behind him. He meets [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], who is employed by the Cryogenics Labs to assign [[Career chip|unfrozen people to jobs]]. She tells Fry about his living relative {{Farnsworth|Professor Hubert Farnsworth}}. Leela then tells Fry that the job that has been assigned to him is that of Delivery Boy. Faced with a return to the life of drudgery he knew in 1999, Fry flees. While running around [[New New York]], he enters a [[suicide booth]] (having mistaken it for a phone booth) and tries to contact his nephew.<br />
<br />
Fry meets a robot named [[Bender]] in the Suicide Booth and, after narrowly avoiding death, they grab a drink together. After a couple of beers, Bender decides to leave to re-attempt suicide, but Fry convinces him to stay by saying that he has always wanted a robot for a friend (or at least ever since he was six). Leela is still on his trail, though, after being forced by her boss, [[Ipji]], to pursue Fry and force him to accept the career chip.<br />
<br />
Leela follows Fry and Bender into the [[Head Museum]] and the ruins of Old New York, before finally catching up with them. To Fry's surprise, though, she decides to quit her job instead of forcing the job of delivery boy on him. Fry suggests they go to his distant nephew, Professor Farnsworth, to see if he can help. After [[Relative Box|confirming]] that he and Fry are related, the Professor decides to hire them as a replacement for his old crew.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Planet Express Delivery Boy, First Class ===<br />
{{further|Season 1|Season 2}}<br />
Fry is hired on at his nephew's company as a delivery boy. Faced with the ability to travel around space, Fry is pleased with his new position. At first Fry lives in the Planet Express building, but after an [[I, Roommate|apartment hunt]] he ends up living in Bender's closet. Fry immediately develops an interest in Leela but, to his dismay, the feelings are not mutual.<br />
<br />
His work at Planet Express sees him thrown into several absurd adventures: he is briefly in a relationship with [[Amy Wong]], and while the company's bureaucrat, [[Hermes Conrad]], is away, he has an affair with the company's replacement bureaucrat, [[Morgan Proctor]]. Neither lasts very long, but when he almost destroys the Planet Express building and Hermes fires him (along with Bender and Leela) he gets Leela's former job by accident and finds his old girlfriend, Michelle, unfrozen. She does not enjoy life in the future, and asks him to come with her to the year 4000. After they wake up and realize that they are actually just in [[Los Angeles]] two days later, she dumps him in favour of [[Pauly Shore (character)|Pauly Shore]].<br />
<br />
At a truck stop Fry eats a bad egg sandwich and gets infected with parasites. The [[worms of Cologne|worms]] give him a complete tune up, and he becomes stronger, smarter, and is capable of impressing Leela with the [[Holophonor]]. He almost sleeps with her, but Fry fears that Leela is falling in love with the worms rather than himself, so he decides to get rid of them. He appears to be right: she immediately asks him to leave when he commits a relationship blunder; namely, talking about his previous fling with Amy Wong.<br />
<br />
=== The most important person in the universe ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}} <br />
The Planet Express crew had gone to observe a supernova up close. While the crew prepared for the event, Fry went to make popcorn. He ignores the warning label on the aluminum popcorn pan saying not to cook in a microwave, which he does. The microwave emitted radiation that collided with the wave from the supernova, causing the Planet Express crew to travel back in time to 1947.<br />
<br />
After Bender breaks apart, Zoidberg was captured by the U.S. military while picking up pieces of [[Bender]]'s body. Fry and Bender's head attempt to infiltrate Roswell, with the Fry disguised as a soldier. He runs into his grandfather, [[Enos Fry]], engaged to Mildred. Acting on Farnworth's warning, Fry did his best to make sure that his grandfather is not killed, otherwise he in turn would cease to exist. However, he became paranoid in his attempts to protect Enos, driving and locking him in a house in the middle of nowhere. But what he didn't know was that he left Enos within range of a nuclear testing ground, killing him in the resulting explosion. But for some reason, Fry was still existing.<br />
<br />
He comforts his grandmother, who begins to make sexual advances on him, which made him uncomfortable. He then reasoned with himself that because he still exists, [[Mildred]] can't be his grandmother and has sex with her. The next day, [[Professor Farnsworth]], [[Leela]] and Bender knock on the window informing Fry that because of his actions, he himself became his own grandfather; Fry realized what he had done and freaked out. Because of the paradox, the Planet Express crew decided that they should get back to their own time, regardless of what it would cause to history. They storm Roswell, rescuing [[Zoidberg]] during an autopsy, Bender's reconstructed body and stealing a microwave satellite dish to return to the future.<br />
<br />
It is later explained by the Nibblonians that because of Fry becoming his own grandfather, it caused a genetic abnormality that caused him to lack the delta brainwave, which rendered him immune to the Brainspawn and telepathy in general.<br />
<br />
At some point the [[Brain Spawn]] attack [[Earth]] and make all humans stupid. Fry is immune to the attack as he lacks the Delta brain wave. The [[Nibblonians]] work with Leela to get the message to Fry, who confronts [[the Big Brain]] in the New New York Public Library. Fry defeats the Big Brain, but when everyone is back to normal, no one has any memory of his actions and just think he is crazy.<br />
<br />
The Nibblonians call for his help again when the Brain Spawn are found to be collecting all information in the universe and plan to to destroy it when their task is complete. The Nibblonians explain that due to him lacking the Delta brain wave, and is immune to the Brain Spawn as long as he avoids prolonged thinking. It is revealed to him inside the [[Infosphere]] that it was [[Nibbler]] who made him fall into the tube and come to the future in the first place. Fry is sent back to 1999 by the Brain Spawn to stop Nibbler from freezing him, but Nibbler persuades Fry to allow himself to be frozen to save Leela's life, as no one would be able to stop the Brain Spawn from destroying the universe in the future.<br />
<br />
[[File:Fry pushing himself in 4ACV10.png|thumb|right|225px|Fry pushes himself into the cryotube to save the world.]]<br />
<br />
=== A deal with the devil ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
During the events with his coworkers, he became a [[Captain Yesterday|super hero]], met the cast of ''[[Star Trek]]'', wound up in a [[Parallel Universes|parallel universe]] where he and Leela had gotten married and gets his [[Human Horn|nose]] cut off.<br />
<br />
But his passion and number one thing he always wanted still remains unexplored. He thinks back to when had the worms, and when he could play the Holophonor to impress Leela. Bender suggests that he should make a deal with the [[Robot Devil]], and in an (to the Robot Devil at least) appalling ironic outcome, he gets the Robot Devil's hands. He can play the Holophonor now, and he becomes a famous musician, performing many classical numbers.<br />
<br />
[[Hedonism Bot]] hires him to write an opera, Fry decides to write it about Leela. And after the first act of the opera, it is already deemed best opera of all time. But meanwhile the Robot Devil is plotting against Fry to get his hands back, because the Robot Devil is getting tired of Fry's hands. And so in the final act, the Robot Devil interrupts the opera and demands his hands back. Fry refuses, and the Robot Devil explains that if so, he will marry Leela for which she has unintentionally signed. Fry realizes that this ultimatum only has one solution: to give up the Robot Devil's hands. Since he cannot play any more, the opera is credited as the worst ever, though Leela remains behind to hear him finish.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lars Fillmore.png|thumb|left|225px|Fry's [[time paradox duplicate]], [[Lars Fillmore]].]]<br />
<br />
=== The secret to time travel ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
Planet Express' delivery license is revoked by the [[Box Network]], forcing the Professor to terminate his employees. But by the time the Professor gets around to telling them (two years later), their license is restored after a change in management at the Box Network- they are back in business. Fry becomes a centre of attention when Alien Scammers (led by [[Nudar]]) take over the Planet Express and find the [[machine language time code]] on Fry's buttocks. Using the code, a virus-infected Bender is ordered back in time to steal all of Earth's valuables from the past. However, Fry is more upset that [[Lars Fillmore]] is getting a chance with Leela.<br />
<br />
The scammers feel it best to be rid of the time code once they finally become anxious that the universe will be destroyed. Utilising a mirror, Fry manages to read the code off his buttocks and escapes back to January 1, 2000. Here he attempts to get some food from Mr. Panucci, but is unable to since he has no money from that era. He takes the pizza he delivered to I. C. Wiener, and decides to travel back an hour when the pizza was warm. His [[time paradox duplicate]] refuses to do the same thing and walks off. But Fry himself manages to end up inside the same tube he was originally frozen in. When his frozen self wakes up, he closes the tube after him and leaves the timer for 7.95 years to wake up again appropriate to when he had left.<br />
<br />
Even though Lars Fillmore calls off the wedding, Fry is unable to get Leela's attention. After having Hermes and Bender save the Earth, he decides on New Year's Eve of 3007, that Lars and Leela belong together. However, here it is revealed that Lars is the exact same time paradox duplicate he left at Applied Cryogenics.<br />
<br />
=== Pope of new religion ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After a brief relationship with [[Colleen]], he left through the anomaly and met [[Yivo]], they developed a relationship and Yivo took control of everyone in Universe Gamma (this universe) through tentacles in their necks. The brainwashed people joined [[Yivo's religion]], with Fry as their new [[pope]]. Eventually they found out that the tentacles in their necks were "[[Coinage|genticles]]" and that Yivo was mating with them. The religion was immediately abandoned. He was brought to live on Yivo, but was taken back by the [[Damned Army]].<br />
<br />
=== The bearer of the Die of Power ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Fry took part in [[Planet Express' Attack on Mombil "Mine"]] and was taken to [[Cornwood]] by Bender's imagination. Once there, he became [[Frydo]], and was given the duty of carrying the [[Die of Power]] and destroying it in the [[Geysers of Gygax]]. He was eventually corrupted by its power and fought [[Momon]] as a dragon. Momon won, and Cornwood was destroyed.<br />

<br />
=== Saving the universe again ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
In [[3009]], Fry was needed by the [[Legion of Mad Fellows]] to help defeat the [[Last Dark One|final Dark One]] and stop it from wiping out all life in the entire universe. Because he lacked the [[Delta Brainwave]], his mind could not be read, and due to an accident he could temporarily read minds. With all of creation on his shoulders, he found the Dark One by chance after believing himself to be it. However, the Dark One was only a [[Desert Muck Leech|small leech]], the [[Violet Dwarf Star]] became the [[Last Encyclopod|final Encyclopod]], which gave the once extinct plants and animals to the universe and easily destroyed the last Dark One, whom [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] then ate. The whole [[Planet Express crew]] flew into a [[wormhole]], after Fry and Leela expressed their true love for each other and kissed.<br />
<br />
=== Reborn ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
[[File:Mutated Fry.jpg|left|thumb|"Mutated" Fry.]]<br />
After emerging from the Panama Wormhole, the [[Planet Express]] crew crashed just outside the [[Planet Express headquarters|company headquarters]] and was killed in the explosion. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]], however, did not die, as he was using a [[safety sphere]] to protect his whole body. The Professor [[Rebirth|rebirthed]] his crew with the [[Birthing Machine]]. In the next few weeks, Fry helped save [[Earth]] from the [[V-GINY]], became one of the most popular [[Twitcher]] users ever after buying [[Mom]]'s [[eyePhone]], and assisted in the passing of [[Proposition ∞]], which legalized [[Robosexuality|robosexual marriage]] in [[New New York]]. Philip also went to [[Planet Vinci]] with his nephew to uncover [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s shocking secret, participated in the [[Sith-il War|3010 Sith Invasion reenactment]] and forward-time-travelled through three [[Alternate Universes|different universes]]. In August, he witnessed the [[Thuban 9|Thubanian]] Invasion of Earth, went to the [[Robo-Planetoid]] wherein [[Robots]] were capable of both Creation and Evolution and [[The Mind-Switcher|changed minds]] with [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] and [['Sweet' Clyde Dixon|Sweet Clyde]]. In September, Fry became one of the [[Sewer Mutants|Mutant]] leaders of the [[Devolution Revolution]] (although he was, in fact, not mutated but was in actuality lodged in the mouth of the mutated ''[[Mr. Astor]]'', which finally granted the [[NNY Sewers|sewer]] people their freedom with equal rights, as well as access to the surface of the city and celebrated his 100th delivery along with the rest of the Planet Express crew members. During that year, [[Fry-Leela relationship|his relationship with Leela]] progressed largely. He also killed celebrated business consultant [[Dan McMasters]], believing that he was [[Blorgulax|a vicious alien killer]].<br />

=== Age ===<br />
Fry was frozen at age 25 for 1000 years making him 1025. Then 4 years later at age 1029 chronologically, was youthisized to age 14, reverse-aged to near unbirth, then re-aged, supposedly to his correct biological age, 29, in the fountain of aging {{et|4ACV09}}. 4 years later at age 33 he went back in time and was frozen yet again for 1007.95 years making him 2040 but still biologically only 33. Based on Leela's speculation there is a chance after the fountain of aging he is less than 30: the Professor never scans them with his age detector. After the events of the fourth movie he is about 2041 years old. His biological age may have reset entirely in "[[Rebirth]]" as, unlike the others, he was reduced to only a lump of flesh and his hair before being reborn. After the events of "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]", Fry may potentially be over 20 duodecillion(short scale) years old, having travelled through the entirety of the universe twice with Bender and Professor Farnsworth. However, the [[forward time machine]] appeared to be insulated from the passage of time outside of it, and so this has only biologically aged him a few minutes older than he should be relative to the inhabitants of the new universe.<br />
<br />
=== Lars Fillmore ===<br />
{{main|Lars Fillmore}}<br />
In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', he has a duplicate that lives in [[Old New York]] with [[Leelu]] and everyone from [[Fry's past|Fry's old, 20th-century life]]. He was thought to be killed by an explosion caused by an [[iObey|obedience virus]] controlled Bender, but it actually burns off his hair and damages his voice box, turning him into [[Lars Fillmore]].<br />

== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Fry was intended as the viewer's representation in the future, with the future being presented to the audience through Fry's eyes. Fry was originally intended to have a [[Pocket Pal]] with him to explain the future for him,<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=Less than Hero |volume=Four |disc=1}}</ref><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |film=The Beast with a Billion Backs}}</ref> though that idea was scrapped with the future being described through the events the occurred around him.<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc"/><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc"/> Fry's jacket is based on {{w|James Dean}}'s outfit in ''{{w|Rebel Without a Cause}}''.<ref name="fSP3K-com-mg">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1}}</ref><br />
<br />
The story of his brother, [[Yancy Fry, Jr.]], was not an original idea from the beginning of the series, but at the same time, they avoided specifying Fry's siblings in the early episodes, to leave space for additional stories.<ref name="epLOTF-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Luck of the Fryrish |volume=Three |disc=1}}</ref> In the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000|original storyboard]] to [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot]], Fry mentions having [[Fry's sister|a sister]], but this was abandoned in the final episode.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
[[File:101-Board 62.jpg|left|thumb|The storyboard saying Fry's name "should match [[Phil Hartman]]'s actual spelling".]]<br />
Fry was originally set to be named ''Curtis'', but was renamed Philip to honor [[Phil Hartman]], a voice actor who had played several roles on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' over the years. Hartman was originally set to play [[Zapp Brannigan]] on ''[[Futurama]]'', but died only shortly before ''Futurama'''s beginning. Within the show, Fry was named Philip by his father after Phillips screwdrivers.<br />
<br />
Another actor who was intended to play Fry is [[Charlie Schlatter]].<br />
<br />
He is not to be confused with Philip J. Fry of Hovering Squid World 97A {{et|4ACV10}}, his nephew [[Philip J. Fry II]] (named after him), or his [[time paradox duplicate]] who later identified himself as "[[Lars Fillmore]]."<br />

'''Philip J. Fry''' (often referred to only by his last name, ''Fry'') Fry is the main protagonist and character of ''[[Futurama]]''. In the future, Fry is the executive delivery boy of [[Planet Express]], which his distant nephew [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] owns. Before being employed by Planet Express in the year 3000 he had worked for [[Panucci's Pizza]] during the late [[20th century]]. On New Year's Eve 1999 he was cryogenically frozen by accident while on delivery. The [[cryo-tube]] timer was set at 1000 years; hence Fry woke to the last moments of the year [[2999]].<br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
[[File:Fry.png|left|thumb|100px|Philip J. Fry]]<br />
Philip J. Fry is a dim-witted man from the 20th century who gets frozen for 1,000 years, thawing out on New Year's Eve 2999. His character is largely an attempt by the show's creators to make the connection between the 20th century and the [[31st century]] much easier for the viewers. Often, Fry is faced with differences in the future, which he then relates to things in his time. As a result, he frequently has to defend the actions of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
Although he is often depicted as stupid, Fry does occasionally come up with brilliant schemes to save the day, an ability which possibly comes from his intense love of ''[[Star Trek]]''. Fry, rivaled only by the [[energy being]] of [[Melllvar]], has the largest encyclopaedic knowledge of ''Star Trek'' in the future. Another example of Fry's occasional brilliance was during the [[Brain Spawn]] attack on [[Earth]]. With the rest of the crew stupefied, Fry was able to save Earth by exploiting the Brainspawn's weaknesses. Strangely enough, Fry's stupidity appears to be his greatest strength as he the only known person in the universe who lacks a [[Delta brainwave]] and therefore is immune to the Brainspawn's stupification fields. [[Ken]], a [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]], has noted he possesses a "superior yet inferior" mind. He lacks the Delta brainwave because he is actually his own grandfather {{et|3ACV19}}.<br />
<br />
Also because he lacks the Delta brainwave, he is immune to telepathy {{et|5ACV16|2ACV08}}.<br />
<br />
Fry is also usually quick to make very rash decisions, such as traveling back to the year 2000 {{et|BBS}} or stowing away on Zapp Brannigan's ship to leave the universe after being upset about [[Colleen]] {{et|TBwaBB}}.<br />
<br />
Despite being lazy, Fry's heart is in the right place, and when the situation calls for it, he will rise up to formulate a plan to save his friends, though because of his lack of intelligence he rarely comes up with any good plans. Fry cares about his friends, and in spite of [[Bender]]'s awful treatment of him at times, he is still willing to risk his life to save him, which Bender reciprocates. However, it shows that Fry enjoys Bender being "mean" to him, because when [[Bender]] has to leave the planet express crew for his own saftey, [[Clamps]] takes his place and behaves in the same way Bender would towards Fry and Fry just laughs and continues.<br />
<br />
Fry loves video games, and as such, he is usually shown to be very good at them, although not all games. He never actually managed to finish the final enemy on ''{{w|Space Invaders}}''; he always had to get his brother Yancy to do it for him. Though he may not be good at all games, his skills have made him a crackshot, and he usually mans the ship's weapons when they are under attack. He has also got a lot better at fighting, by "Fun on a Bun" {{et|7ACV08}} Also, Fry absolutely loves sewers, he once surfed (was surprisingly good) in various sewers around Earth cities with [[Turanga Morris]] & Bender, but got temporarily sick as a result.<br />
<br />
== Savantism ==<br />
Several instances throughout the series have suggested an abnormal mind tied to savantism and synesthesia:<br />
*Shown in "[[All the Presidents' Heads]]", he is a compulsive counter.<br />
*In "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" and "[[The Why of Fry]]", he is a colour-gustatory synesthete.<br />
*Throughout the series, he shows great intelligence countered by an inability to properly express it as such.<br />
*He is capable of incredible musical creativity, but lacks the physical means to express it. {{er|4ACV18}}<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
{{further|Fry's past}}<br />
[[file:FryBirth.png|thumb|right|Fry's birth in [[1974]] with umbilical cord still attached {{et|3ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Philip J. Fry was born on August 14 [[1974]], in the [[Brooklyn Pre-Med Hospital]] in [[Old New York]], a native of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Fry is the second son of [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] and [[Mrs. Fry]].<br />
<br />
During his formative years, Fry endured a great sibling rivalry with his older brother, [[Yancy Fry Jr.|Yancy Jr]]. Yancy constantly stole his ideas and, shortly after Fry was born, even wanted his younger brother's name. Yancy also frequently belittled Fry. Fry also spent of a lot of time playing video games and watching ''[[Star Trek]]''. He was never admitted to public school because his parents felt it would be a waste of taxpayer's money.<br />
<br />
Fry never made a success of himself, and during his twenties (or late teenage years) he got a job at [[Panucci's Pizza]] as a pizza delivery boy. While working for [[Mr. Panucci]], he met up with [[Michelle]] and they began a relationship. On a delivery in [[1997]], he meets up with [[Seymour Asses]], a dog he names after the addressee of the prank caller who ordered the delivery. Seymour becomes his best friend.<br />
<br />
[[file:Frozen Fry.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Fry is frozen for a thousand years in a cryogenics tube.]]<br />
<br />
=== Cryogenically Frozen - for a Thousand Years ===<br />
{{further|Space Pilot 3000}}<br />
On the fateful night of New Year's Eve, 1999, Fry is sent on another prank delivery to [[I. C. Wiener]]. When he arrives at the destination, [[Applied Cryogenics]], he realizes that it is a prank, but since he won't make it back to Panucci's before midnight, he decides to celebrate the New Year where he is. Then, while leaning his chair too far backwards, he falls into a [[Cryogenic Freezing Chamber|cryogenics tube]], which closes and freezes him for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve, 2999, the tube's timer finishes and Fry wakes up again. He is not at all sad about leaving his old life behind, and actually happy and relieved that it is all now behind him. He meets [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], who is employed by the Cryogenics Labs to assign [[Career chip|unfrozen people to jobs]]. She tells Fry about his living relative {{Farnsworth|Professor Hubert Farnsworth}}. Leela then tells Fry that the job that has been assigned to him is that of Delivery Boy. Faced with a return to the life of drudgery he knew in 1999, Fry flees. While running around [[New New York]], he enters a [[suicide booth]] (having mistaken it for a phone booth) and tries to contact his nephew.<br />
<br />
Fry meets a robot named [[Bender]] in the Suicide Booth and, after narrowly avoiding death, they grab a drink together. After a couple of beers, Bender decides to leave to re-attempt suicide, but Fry convinces him to stay by saying that he has always wanted a robot for a friend (or at least ever since he was six). Leela is still on his trail, though, after being forced by her boss, [[Ipji]], to pursue Fry and force him to accept the career chip.<br />
<br />
Leela follows Fry and Bender into the [[Head Museum]] and the ruins of Old New York, before finally catching up with them. To Fry's surprise, though, she decides to quit her job instead of forcing the job of delivery boy on him. Fry suggests they go to his distant nephew, Professor Farnsworth, to see if he can help. After [[Relative Box|confirming]] that he and Fry are related, the Professor decides to hire them as a replacement for his old crew.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Planet Express Delivery Boy, First Class ===<br />
{{further|Season 1|Season 2}}<br />
Fry is hired on at his nephew's company as a delivery boy. Faced with the ability to travel around space, Fry is pleased with his new position. At first Fry lives in the Planet Express building, but after an [[I, Roommate|apartment hunt]] he ends up living in Bender's closet. Fry immediately develops an interest in Leela but, to his dismay, the feelings are not mutual.<br />
<br />
His work at Planet Express sees him thrown into several absurd adventures: he is briefly in a relationship with [[Amy Wong]], and while the company's bureaucrat, [[Hermes Conrad]], is away, he has an affair with the company's replacement bureaucrat, [[Morgan Proctor]]. Neither lasts very long, but when he almost destroys the Planet Express building and Hermes fires him (along with Bender and Leela) he gets Leela's former job by accident and finds his old girlfriend, Michelle, unfrozen. She does not enjoy life in the future, and asks him to come with her to the year 4000. After they wake up and realize that they are actually just in [[Los Angeles]] two days later, she dumps him in favour of [[Pauly Shore (character)|Pauly Shore]].<br />
<br />
At a truck stop Fry eats a bad egg sandwich and gets infected with parasites. The [[worms of Cologne|worms]] give him a complete tune up, and he becomes stronger, smarter, and is capable of impressing Leela with the [[Holophonor]]. He almost sleeps with her, but Fry fears that Leela is falling in love with the worms rather than himself, so he decides to get rid of them. He appears to be right: she immediately asks him to leave when he commits a relationship blunder; namely, talking about his previous fling with Amy Wong.<br />
<br />
=== The most important person in the universe ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}} <br />
The Planet Express crew had gone to observe a supernova up close. While the crew prepared for the event, Fry went to make popcorn. He ignores the warning label on the aluminum popcorn pan saying not to cook in a microwave, which he does. The microwave emitted radiation that collided with the wave from the supernova, causing the Planet Express crew to travel back in time to 1947.<br />
<br />
After Bender breaks apart, Zoidberg was captured by the U.S. military while picking up pieces of [[Bender]]'s body. Fry and Bender's head attempt to infiltrate Roswell, with the Fry disguised as a soldier. He runs into his grandfather, [[Enos Fry]], engaged to Mildred. Acting on Farnworth's warning, Fry did his best to make sure that his grandfather is not killed, otherwise he in turn would cease to exist. However, he became paranoid in his attempts to protect Enos, driving and locking him in a house in the middle of nowhere. But what he didn't know was that he left Enos within range of a nuclear testing ground, killing him in the resulting explosion. But for some reason, Fry was still existing.<br />
<br />
He comforts his grandmother, who begins to make sexual advances on him, which made him uncomfortable. He then reasoned with himself that because he still exists, [[Mildred]] can't be his grandmother and has sex with her. The next day, [[Professor Farnsworth]], [[Leela]] and Bender knock on the window informing Fry that because of his actions, he himself became his own grandfather; Fry realized what he had done and freaked out. Because of the paradox, the Planet Express crew decided that they should get back to their own time, regardless of what it would cause to history. They storm Roswell, rescuing [[Zoidberg]] during an autopsy, Bender's reconstructed body and stealing a microwave satellite dish to return to the future.<br />
<br />
It is later explained by the Nibblonians that because of Fry becoming his own grandfather, it caused a genetic abnormality that caused him to lack the delta brainwave, which rendered him immune to the Brainspawn and telepathy in general.<br />
<br />
At some point the [[Brain Spawn]] attack [[Earth]] and make all humans stupid. Fry is immune to the attack as he lacks the Delta brain wave. The [[Nibblonians]] work with Leela to get the message to Fry, who confronts [[the Big Brain]] in the New New York Public Library. Fry defeats the Big Brain, but when everyone is back to normal, no one has any memory of his actions and just think he is crazy.<br />
<br />
The Nibblonians call for his help again when the Brain Spawn are found to be collecting all information in the universe and plan to to destroy it when their task is complete. The Nibblonians explain that due to him lacking the Delta brain wave, and is immune to the Brain Spawn as long as he avoids prolonged thinking. It is revealed to him inside the [[Infosphere]] that it was [[Nibbler]] who made him fall into the tube and come to the future in the first place. Fry is sent back to 1999 by the Brain Spawn to stop Nibbler from freezing him, but Nibbler persuades Fry to allow himself to be frozen to save Leela's life, as no one would be able to stop the Brain Spawn from destroying the universe in the future.<br />

<br />
=== A deal with the devil ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
During the events with his coworkers, he became a [[Captain Yesterday|super hero]], met the cast of ''[[Star Trek]]'', wound up in a [[Parallel Universes|parallel universe]] where he and Leela had gotten married and gets his [[Human Horn|nose]] cut off.<br />
<br />
But his passion and number one thing he always wanted still remains unexplored. He thinks back to when had the worms, and when he could play the Holophonor to impress Leela. Bender suggests that he should make a deal with the [[Robot Devil]], and in an (to the Robot Devil at least) appalling ironic outcome, he gets the Robot Devil's hands. He can play the Holophonor now, and he becomes a famous musician, performing many classical numbers.<br />
<br />
[[Hedonism Bot]] hires him to write an opera, Fry decides to write it about Leela. And after the first act of the opera, it is already deemed best opera of all time. But meanwhile the Robot Devil is plotting against Fry to get his hands back, because the Robot Devil is getting tired of Fry's hands. And so in the final act, the Robot Devil interrupts the opera and demands his hands back. Fry refuses, and the Robot Devil explains that if so, he will marry Leela for which she has unintentionally signed. Fry realizes that this ultimatum only has one solution: to give up the Robot Devil's hands. Since he cannot play any more, the opera is credited as the worst ever, though Leela remains behind to hear him finish.<br />

<br />
=== The secret to time travel ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
Planet Express' delivery license is revoked by the [[Box Network]], forcing the Professor to terminate his employees. But by the time the Professor gets around to telling them (two years later), their license is restored after a change in management at the Box Network- they are back in business. Fry becomes a centre of attention when Alien Scammers (led by [[Nudar]]) take over the Planet Express and find the [[machine language time code]] on Fry's buttocks. Using the code, a virus-infected Bender is ordered back in time to steal all of Earth's valuables from the past. However, Fry is more upset that [[Lars Fillmore]] is getting a chance with Leela.<br />
<br />
The scammers feel it best to be rid of the time code once they finally become anxious that the universe will be destroyed. Utilising a mirror, Fry manages to read the code off his buttocks and escapes back to January 1, 2000. Here he attempts to get some food from Mr. Panucci, but is unable to since he has no money from that era. He takes the pizza he delivered to I. C. Wiener, and decides to travel back an hour when the pizza was warm. His [[time paradox duplicate]] refuses to do the same thing and walks off. But Fry himself manages to end up inside the same tube he was originally frozen in. When his frozen self wakes up, he closes the tube after him and leaves the timer for 7.95 years to wake up again appropriate to when he had left.<br />
<br />
Even though Lars Fillmore calls off the wedding, Fry is unable to get Leela's attention. After having Hermes and Bender save the Earth, he decides on New Year's Eve of 3007, that Lars and Leela belong together. However, here it is revealed that Lars is the exact same time paradox duplicate he left at Applied Cryogenics.<br />
<br />
=== Pope of new religion ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After a brief relationship with [[Colleen]], he left through the anomaly and met [[Yivo]], they developed a relationship and Yivo took control of everyone in Universe Gamma (this universe) through tentacles in their necks. The brainwashed people joined [[Yivo's religion]], with Fry as their new [[pope]]. Eventually they found out that the tentacles in their necks were "[[Coinage|genticles]]" and that Yivo was mating with them. The religion was immediately abandoned. He was brought to live on Yivo, but was taken back by the [[Damned Army]].<br />
<br />
=== The bearer of the Die of Power ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Fry took part in [[Planet Express' Attack on Mombil "Mine"]] and was taken to [[Cornwood]] by Bender's imagination. Once there, he became [[Frydo]], and was given the duty of carrying the [[Die of Power]] and destroying it in the [[Geysers of Gygax]]. He was eventually corrupted by its power and fought [[Momon]] as a dragon. Momon won, and Cornwood was destroyed.<br />

{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
In [[3009]], Fry was needed by the [[Legion of Mad Fellows]] to help defeat the [[Last Dark One|final Dark One]] and stop it from wiping out all life in the entire universe. Because he lacked the [[Delta Brainwave]], his mind could not be read, and due to an accident he could temporarily read minds. With all of creation on his shoulders, he found the Dark One by chance after believing himself to be it. However, the Dark One was only a [[Desert Muck Leech|small leech]], the [[Violet Dwarf Star]] became the [[Last Encyclopod|final Encyclopod]], which gave the once extinct plants and animals to the universe and easily destroyed the last Dark One, whom [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] then ate. The whole [[Planet Express crew]] flew into a [[wormhole]], after Fry and Leela expressed their true love for each other and kissed.<br />

[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]], however, did not die, as he was using a [[safety sphere]] to protect his whole body. The Professor [[Rebirth|rebirthed]] his crew with the [[Birthing Machine]]. In the next few weeks, Fry helped save [[Earth]] from the [[V-GINY]], became one of the most popular [[Twitcher]] users ever after buying [[Mom]]'s [[eyePhone]], and assisted in the passing of [[Proposition ∞]], which legalized [[Robosexuality|robosexual marriage]] in [[New New York]]. Philip also went to [[Planet Vinci]] with his nephew to uncover [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s shocking secret, participated in the [[Sith-il War|3010 Sith Invasion reenactment]] and forward-time-travelled through three [[Alternate Universes|different universes]]. In August, he witnessed the [[Thuban 9|Thubanian]] Invasion of Earth, went to the [[Robo-Planetoid]] wherein [[Robots]] were capable of both Creation and Evolution and [[The Mind-Switcher|changed minds]] with [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] and [['Sweet' Clyde Dixon|Sweet Clyde]]. In September, Fry became one of the [[Sewer Mutants|Mutant]] leaders of the [[Devolution Revolution]] (although he was, in fact, not mutated but was in actuality lodged in the mouth of the mutated ''[[Mr. Astor]]'', which finally granted the [[NNY Sewers|sewer]] people their freedom with equal rights, as well as access to the surface of the city and celebrated his 100th delivery along with the rest of the Planet Express crew members. During that year, [[Fry-Leela relationship|his relationship with Leela]] progressed largely. He also killed celebrated business consultant [[Dan McMasters]], believing that he was [[Blorgulax|a vicious alien killer]].<br />

=== Age ===<br />
Fry was frozen at age 25 for 1000 years making him 1025. Then 4 years later at age 1029 chronologically, was youthisized to age 14, reverse-aged to near unbirth, then re-aged, supposedly to his correct biological age, 29, in the fountain of aging {{et|4ACV09}}. 4 years later at age 33 he went back in time and was frozen yet again for 1007.95 years making him 2040 but still biologically only 33. Based on Leela's speculation there is a chance after the fountain of aging he is less than 30: the Professor never scans them with his age detector. After the events of the fourth movie he is about 2041 years old. His biological age may have reset entirely in "[[Rebirth]]" as, unlike the others, he was reduced to only a lump of flesh and his hair before being reborn. After the events of "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]", Fry may potentially be over 20 duodecillion(short scale) years old, having travelled through the entirety of the universe twice with Bender and Professor Farnsworth. However, the [[forward time machine]] appeared to be insulated from the passage of time outside of it, and so this has only biologically aged him a few minutes older than he should be relative to the inhabitants of the new universe.<br />
<br />
=== Lars Fillmore ===<br />
{{main|Lars Fillmore}}<br />
In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', he has a duplicate that lives in [[Old New York]] with [[Leelu]] and everyone from [[Fry's past|Fry's old, 20th-century life]]. He was thought to be killed by an explosion caused by an [[iObey|obedience virus]] controlled Bender, but it actually burns off his hair and damages his voice box, turning him into [[Lars Fillmore]].<br />

<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Fry was intended as the viewer's representation in the future, with the future being presented to the audience through Fry's eyes. Fry was originally intended to have a [[Pocket Pal]] with him to explain the future for him,<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=Less than Hero |volume=Four |disc=1}}</ref><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |film=The Beast with a Billion Backs}}</ref> though that idea was scrapped with the future being described through the events the occurred around him.<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc"/><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc"/> Fry's jacket is based on {{w|James Dean}}'s outfit in ''{{w|Rebel Without a Cause}}''.<ref name="fSP3K-com-mg">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1}}</ref><br />
<br />
The story of his brother, [[Yancy Fry, Jr.]], was not an original idea from the beginning of the series, but at the same time, they avoided specifying Fry's siblings in the early episodes, to leave space for additional stories.<ref name="epLOTF-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Luck of the Fryrish |volume=Three |disc=1}}</ref> In the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000|original storyboard]] to [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot]], Fry mentions having [[Fry's sister|a sister]], but this was abandoned in the final episode.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
[[File:101-Board 62.jpg|left|thumb|The storyboard saying Fry's name "should match [[Phil Hartman]]'s actual spelling".]]<br />
Fry was originally set to be named ''Curtis'', but was renamed Philip to honor [[Phil Hartman]], a voice actor who had played several roles on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' over the years. Hartman was originally set to play [[Zapp Brannigan]] on ''[[Futurama]]'', but died only shortly before ''Futurama'''s beginning. Within the show, Fry was named Philip by his father after Phillips screwdrivers.<br />
<br />
Another actor who was intended to play Fry is [[Charlie Schlatter]].<br />
<br />
He is not to be confused with Philip J. Fry of Hovering Squid World 97A {{et|4ACV10}}, his nephew [[Philip J. Fry II]] (named after him), or his [[time paradox duplicate]] who later identified himself as "[[Lars Fillmore]]."<br />

*Loves [[anchovies]].<br />
*The pin number for his [[Big Apple Bank]] account is 1077 (the price of a cheese pizza and a large Soda at [[Panucci's Pizza]]).<br />
*Destroyed the [[Hubble Telescope]] in an epic space battle.<br />
*Cannot swim, or at least not in Slurm, or in Royal Jelly (as far as he knows).<br />

*His stool type is P-negative.<br />
*His social security number is 03280810. (Note: This is one digit short of that used in actual Social Security numbers. Further, the first three digits of a Social Securty number indicate birthplace. A Social security number starting with "032" would indicate a birth in Massachusetts, which we know is incorrect.)<br />
*Became [[Frydo]] in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*Along with Farnsworth, his facial hair is brown despite his hair being red.<br />
*His copy ([[Lars Fillmore|Lars]]) may have worked at a casino at some point between [[2000]] and [[2012]].<br />
*Holds the title of "Universe's #4307697 Delivery Boy", according to his mug, as seen in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]".<br />
*May be able to eat pizza with his feet, though since this was only mentioned in the [[Dubbing|Spanish dub]], it cannot be considered [[canon]].<br />
*Has the ability to eat 5.1 pounds of cotton candy which makes his blood good on pancakes<br />

**His synesthesia may be part of his total mental condition (including his lack of the Delta brain wave and idiot savantism).<br />
*There are three people named "Philip J. Fry" besides him: His nephew [[Philip J. Fry II]] {{et|3ACV04}}, [[Phillip J. Fry from Hovering Squid World 97A]] {{et|4ACV10}} and [[Lars Fillmore]], formerly known as Fry's [[time paradox duplicate]] ([[Bender's Big Score|BBS]])<br />

*It is possible that he is an {{w|idiot savant}} as he said, "What's with the seventeen dungbeetles?" after being hit by a holographic branch with exactly seventeen holographic dungbeetles in "[[All the Presidents' Heads]]".<br />
*Fry is mentioned in the ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' episode "{{w|Harder, Better, Faster, Browner}}".<br />
*Fry appears in an episode of [[The Simpsons]], seen on an asteroid with Leela, far in space. He has made other appearances in The Simpsons as well.<br />
