Life in the 30th and 31st century

"My God... it's the future! My parents, my coworkers, my girlfriend.
I'll never see any of them again! Yahoo!"
―Philip I in Space Pilot 3000

Fry awoke on December 31, 2999. After a few minutes, he realized that he was in the future and was subsequently greeted by Terry, who exclaimed: “Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!”. Fry then met Leela, who informed him that he would be assigned the career of a delivery boy and that he has one living relative, his great, great, great .... great-nephew, Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth.

Before Leela was able to implant the delivery boy career chip into Fry's hand, however, he ran away and met a Robot named Bender. Fry then mistook a suicide booth for a phone booth, which he and Bender narrowly escaped death (to Bender's somewhat disappointment). Eventually, Fry found Professor Farnsworth and became a delivery boy for the Planet Express Delivery Company.

Fry had wanted a robot as a best friend since he was six years old, so when he defrosted in the 31st century, he was excited to meet Bender. When they first met, he thought Bender was some "Cheesy New Year's Costume". Bender was his first friend in the 31st century and they became best friends and eventually, after the crew kicked Fry out of the Planet Express building, they lived together in Robot Arms Apts.

His career at Planet Express has been nothing short of eventful: During his employment, Fry rediscovered the original Moon landing site, discovered he was rich and then subsequently got scammed out of it by Mom and her sons, became Emperor of the Planet Tri-Sol after drinking their current emperor (but later got chased off the throne), saved Earth from a Giant Garbage Ball by re-introducing the concept of making trash to 31st-century society, enrolled and dropped out of Mars University, discovered the secret ingredient of Slurm with his coworkers, prevented Leela from marrying Alcazar (an alien posing as the only other remaining member of the Cyclops race), aided in the discovery of the Lost City of Atlanta, became infested by Worms that made him intelligent, physically fit, as well as able to play the holophonor, saved Earth and then the universe from the Brainspawn due to him lacking the delta brainwave, saved the Planet Express crew from Roberto whilst believing he was a robot, gotten married to and subsequently divorced from Leela, became his own grandfather (the reason he lacks a delta brainwave), helped in discovering Leela's parents, Turanga Munda and Turanga Morris, as well as the fact that Leela is a mutant (and not an alien as previously believed), become a superhero, discovered his old dog fossilized at a natural history museum exhibit of a twentieth-century pizzeria, and written and performed an opera by playing a holophonor while he possessed the Robot Devil's hands.
