Who is Philip J. Fry?

Philip J. Fry is a New York pizza delivery boy who is accidentally frozen on New Year's Eve 1999 and wakes up in the year 3000, where he gets a job as a delivery boy again. Matt Groening and David X. Cohen created Futurama for Fox, where it began in March 1999, and Billy West voices Fry. The show has moved between networks several times, with revivals on Comedy Central and, from 2023, Hulu. Fry has also had an unusually long life online: a squinting screenshot became the widely used not-sure-if meme, and his line about wanting to pay for something became shorthand for eager buying.

What Philip J. Fry looks like on a shirt

Signature motif: Orange hair, red jacket, white T-shirt, squinting eyes

Meme designs are the adult sellers. The jacket-and-hair silhouette is recognisable on its own.

Amazon lists very few Fry-specific shirts; Planet Express designs — the delivery company Fry works for — are the closest match. Adult and teen sizing.
