The name "Philip" was given to Fry by Matt Groening as a homage to the then recently murdered Phil Hartman, for whom the role of Zapp Brannigan was created.[1] The "J" is akin to the "J" in Bullwinkle J. Moose, Rocket J. Squirrel, Bartholomew J. Simpson and Homer J. Simpson, in tribute to Jay Ward, creator of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show.[citation needed]
According to Groening, Fry's character developed over time while still keeping his qualities as a loser and the characteristics which writers hoped would make him appeal to the target young male audience.[2] Fry's character is essentially a bungling, stubborn slob with a heart of gold that cannot get ahead in the world, yet he does have a slight glimmer of hope. |

Characterized as simple, sweet, naive and immature, Fry regards Bender as his closest friend, despite the latter's often violent criminal tendencies. He also has strong feelings for Leela, although he lacks the intelligence required for articulating his emotions; thus, his love remains (sometimes coldly) unreciprocated, though not entirely without hope. She does occasionally return his interest throughout the series, and in the movie 'Into the Wild Green Yonder', she admits to loving him back. At the end of that film, they are seen sharing a kiss as they enter a wormhole.
In the episode "The Why of Fry", Leela's seemingly oblivious pet Nibbler reveals himself as the reason for Fry's cryogenic freezing; because of Fry's uniquely inferior mental characteristics (he lacks the Delta brainwave, the cause of his stupidity and the result of being his own grandfather) he can withstand the intellect-draining onslaught of the evil Brainspawn. Nibbler's people, the Nibblonians, deem him "The Mighty One". Through prediction (on the eve of 1999, as the Nibblonians lack the ability to travel through time), they guessed that Fry would be the one to save the world from the evil Brainspawn; since his natural lifespan would not extend to the right millennium, however, Nibbler is sent to make the aforementioned hoax delivery call and push an unsuspecting Fry into the cryogenic tube, to re-emerge December 31, 2999. His lack of the Delta brainwave later proved to prevent his mind from being read telepathically (which in itself can be considered a joke saying he doesn't think at all).
Fry sometimes expresses an ability to smell or taste colors of radiation. In "Roswell That Ends Well", when immersed in microwave radiation depicted as being blue, he remarks, "What smells like blue?", and in "The Why of Fry", when his memory is wiped by Nibbler, he says to himself, "Did everything just taste purple for a second?". One talent that Fry does excel at is playing video games, hence his asking what the world would be like if it were like a video game in "Anthology of Interest II". Due mainly to this talent, Fry is also a very good shot and an excellent marksman, often serving as the gunner on the Planet Express ship with uncharacteristic skill. In "Godfellas", he is shown using an arcade game screen as a targeting device.
While showering, he often sings "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, only singing "I'm walking on sunshine" and humming the rest. The song was shown to be a source of joy between himself and his dog while living in the twentieth century.
Fry currently owns 51% of the Planet Express Company's shares of common stock, giving him the majority vote. |

Born in 1974, Fry is an average, thoroughly unremarkable, 25-year-old pizza delivery boy who, during the last few seconds of year 1999, accidentally falls into a cryogenic freezing tank while delivering pizza on a prank call. He subsequently remains frozen for 1, 000 years, finally thawing out on the last day of the year 2999, where he meets the one-eyed career officer Turanga Leela, and a cigar smoking, booze fueled, kleptomaniac robot Bender. Together, they are employed by Fry's great(x30) nephew, the senile and demented old scientist Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth, as the spaceship crew of his delivery company. In his old life Fry had a girlfriend Michelle who dumped him, and an older brother Yancy, in the first episode, "Space Pilot 3000", just before he was frozen. |
