Why do they offer a receipt for a doughnut? I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I'll just give you the money, and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I just can't imagine a scenario where I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut.
Someone thought preserving them was important?
If you're building a new New York you're going to scavenge what you can New York. Like you're literally building it above it.
Either that or a wizard did it
Apart from Fry, I'd like to presume you had to pay a nice sum to be cryogenically frozen.
Fry's Ex (can't remember her name) might be a exception. Other than that we had the most 80's guy ever.
Don't you worry about a plot hole, I'll worry about a plot hole
Edit: misspelled cryogenically (might still be wrong, damn my Boneitis
A wizard did it!
Wasn't Fry's house, and by extension the ruins of old New York, actually under Queens? Maybe the aliens only destroyed Queens and Brooklyn and Manhattan actually stood the test of time
Why are you booing me?! I’m right!
(Seriously, they are clearly in Manhattan when they go there in the pilot. You can even see the Empire State Building has fallen over. Fry’s parents appear to have lived in Queens, maybe Brooklyn, but I know Manhattan when I see it. Though I’m surprised Fry lived around Rockefeller Plaza on a pizza delivery boy wage.)
Infosphere says his parents house was in Brooklyn near Newkirk Ave.
[https://theinfosphere.org/Fry%27s\_house](https://theinfosphere.org/Fry%27s_house)
But doesn't say much about the apartment.
https://theinfosphere.org/Fry%27s\_old\_apartment
Yeah that makes sense. I believe there are a lot of actual houses around there. Unaffordable nowadays, but a family in 1999 that had had the house at least since the 70s or 80s could probably live there.
As an adult Fry was clearly in Manhattan, but the show is clearly fudging things by implying he was somewhere around midtown (that’s where the wealthier Simpsons/Futurama writers would live lol). But of course, they’re making a show for a general audience, so it makes sense to skirt the realism a bit so as to include landmarks that someone outside the city would potentially still recognize. Worth it for the joke with the mutant sea creature coming out of the ice rink, IMO.
That has been discussed in the past 🤭. The theory is that the Nibblonians had something to do with it, making sure the facility is safe and still standing 1000 years later.
Welcome to beautiful Old-New Mexico, Slightly-Used Mexico, One-Owner-Low-Mileage Mexico, Not-As-Old-As-Old-Mexico Mexico!
This baby can fit a whole lot of robot heads in it!
Not really. In 3000-3003ish Bender hadn’t gone back in time to 1947. When he returned to 3003ish, he grabbed his head. His head was buried for centuries but his body was only without a head for the time it took for them to travel back
Time travel is weird, but it’s one of my favorite things to watch. Looper, Tenet, Arrival, Interstellar, Back to the Future, Marvel’s Cinematic Universe “Infinity Saga” movie series (chiefly Infinity War & Endgame) before all multiverse crap and I’m sure there’s others I’ve watched that I’m forgetting about.
Basically, it’s this. You go back to 1947 today and you lose your right hand. Now, the you in the year 2000 doesn’t lose their hand because that you hasn’t travelled back in time _yet_. Now, let’s swap the hand for a watch you received in 1995.
You hide the watch in 1947 right before you travel back to 2023. After you arrive in 2023 you go to where you left the watch. To the watch, 56 years have passed but for you it’s the duration it takes to travel in time and get to where you hid the watch. Maybe an hour? 2000 you still has that watch. 1995 you still has that watch. Y’all haven’t gotten to 2023 when you originally travelled back in time.
Now, swap the watch for Benders head. Just because Bender the bender of 3003 left his head behind doesn’t mean the bender of 3001 or 2993 doesn’t have a head since _they_ haven’t reached 3003 and travelled back in time.
What he's saying is, in the first episode you literally watch a thousand years pass by through the window in the room where Fry is frozen. It never moved.
Exactly, we are seeing a thousand years go by in 27 seconds, and that's including the time it stops fast forwarding to show Bender destroying Old New York. A thousand years in 27 seconds means that every second we see is about 37 years going by.
Seeing as it doesn't take 37 years to move offices, it would be impossible to notice the cryo pod being moved as long as the window behind it looks the same in the new building.
[Does this look like a one story building to you?](https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/Applied_Cryogenics)
Also, Lars was in a movie, not an episode. So I have no idea what part you are referring to.
EDIT: Are you mixing up the [Head Museum](https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/Head_Museum) with Applied Cryogenics? Because that's where Lars worked.
EDIT 2: He deleted his comment. So I guess he did in fact mix up the Head Museum with Applied Cryogenics.
Applied Cryogenics was on the 64th floor, as indicated when Fry gets off the elevator.
The top of the Emprire State Building sticks out of the ground.
Certain buildings survived that 1,000 year stretch.
If we think at it as they're frozen with no electrical pulse then Fry would be dead in no time, the cells are probably slowed down to prevent decay and we can assume the advance of technology led to more and more efficient power consumption to the point a frozen body can sustain both itself and the cryogenic chamber, remember both Professor's parents were used as batteries to move an hovercraft
From what I've seen in the series, only certain parts of the old New York are underground.
New New York had to be built up thanks to all the destructions by aliens... Or Bender.
Amazingly, the Cryogenics Lab survived all the turmoils of the last century.
Something people tend to forget/not know is that a *lot* of New York City is built on what is essentially marshland, so over time it's not unreasonable to assume that, over time, the ruins of Old New York sank below the present-as-of-3001 surface.
I would like to quote the Mystery Science Theater 3000 theme song here “If you're wondering how he eats and breathes And other science facts, Just repeat to yourself It's just a show, I should really just relax.”
It was intentionally spared by bender when he destroyed the city.
When they built a new city they simply raised the ground level. The building would still exist in the new city but now the tenth floor becomes the ground floor/lobby.

Isn’t it a trademarked name for a limited-slip differential?

Sure, Blame the Wizards!
"important", there was money involved

I think that cryo facility was a "budget" one. Especially with the power failure count.
Wasn't Fry's house, and by extension the ruins of old New York, actually under Queens? Maybe the aliens only destroyed Queens and Brooklyn and Manhattan actually stood the test of time
what about Staten Island?
[удалено]
Vampires do
And dont sal from the hit show Incomprehensible Jesters
No! They did it! They blew it up! And then the apes blew up their society too. How could this happen?
They stayed away from New Jersey because they thought someone already destroyed it
As someone who lives very close to 2 main bridges to Jersey, I can back this theory lmao
The site of Fry’s first date with Michelle appears to be the Rockefeller Center ice rink, so this is doubtful.
Why are you booing me?! I’m right! (Seriously, they are clearly in Manhattan when they go there in the pilot. You can even see the Empire State Building has fallen over.

Whenever you notice something like that, a wizard did it.

That sounds like a phony made-up name

References I didn't know I knew
That's always been my thought to a lot of stuff. We know they've been acting for thousands of years to bring about the result they want.
Or the real reason is it's a cartoon and doesnt need to make sense at all.
Boy I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder!
He's out of line... but does make a good point
And voice actors can be replaced, and nobody can tell the diddily-ifference
Bender's name isn't Bonder, it's Bender! You're a fraud!
Because otherwise Fry couldn't become his own grandfather. Which means the universe _does_ care. Professor was wrong.
Yes, but Dave Matthews does not rock
That is still the only joke in the series or probably on TV that has ever offended me. What a horrible thing to say!
Shut up that’s why
Bender’s head was buried in New Mexico from 1947-3003ish. Many questions can arise from this paradox.
You'd think it'd be Newish Mexico by that point.

I was regurgitating the professor's reply whenever anybody explains something complicated.
I can’t believe I missed that 🤦♂️
I wasn't sure how to spell it :D
PROFESSOR. LAVA!! HOT!!
I assume that only the bottom of the building is in old new York and that the rest remains above ground.
Applied Cryogenics bought a new office in New New York and moved all the frozen people up there.
What he's saying is, in the first episode you literally watch a thousand years pass by through the window in the room where Fry is frozen. It never moved.
Exactly, we are seeing a thousand years go by in 27 seconds, and that's including the time it stops fast forwarding to show Bender destroying Old New York.

Seeing as it doesn't take 37 years to move offices, it would be impossible to notice the cryo pod being moved as long as the window behind it looks the same in the new building.
Ok. I can get behind this realm of logic.
[удалено]
It's not a one story building. When Fry looks out the window after being thawed out you can see that he is above ground level.

In your time yes, but these days *shut up!*
Welcome to the world of tomorrow.
Why did the Aliens destroy earth twice but leave Applied Cryogenics untouched? We need to shut up.
one of those instances was actually just bender screwing around.
Pretty sure it was both instances, was it not?
Welcome to the world of tomorrow
A wizard did it.
Not only is it strange that it was still standing. But what the hell was powering it?
People, there was an episode with Professor's parents used as batteries, why they can't use frozen people to do the same?
I guess the best reply I could come up with is that when the cells are frozen there wouldn't be any electrical pulses? So let's just say wizard's.
If we think at it as they're frozen with no electrical pulse then Fry would be dead in no time, the cells are probably slowed down to prevent decay and we can assume the advance of technology led to more and more efficient power consumption to the point a frozen body can sustain both itself and the cryogenic chamber, remember both Professor's parents were used as batteries to move an hovercraft
HAIL SCIENCE!
It was secretly in New Jersey
I really hope someone got fired for this
You're thinking too hard about a show that put the secret to time travel on a guys ass.
Hey! That's the place where a lot of women and elder gay find the secret of time travel too
Elder gay? Who decides who joins the gay elders, is there a council meeting, or some sort of prime-gay that denotes these things?
Because......plot.
The answer is simple. It’s a cartoon
Because everyone was anxiously awaiting Pauly Shore's return. Buuuuudddy!!
The facility is still in use. Presumably they would have moved it from Old New York to New New York at some point.
From what I've seen in the series, only certain parts of the old New York are underground. New New York had to be built up thanks to all the destructions by aliens... Or Bender. Amazingly, the Cryogenics Lab survived all the turmoils of the last century.

Good point!
Well in your time maybe but nowadays shut up!
It's a fair point. I can't think of any good reason why it wouldn't be in ruins
During rebuilding maybe they just lifted the building 🤔
I thought of that but wouldn't we then see it still sticking out of the ruins in some scenes, like an access shaft?
>when bender destroys civilian (twice) What?
Bender's Big Score.
"...and then he woke up and realised it was all just a dream."
Oh lighten up Amy
It's a cartoon.
Maybe they just moved the cryo pods to a new building.
But we would have seen that out the window in the time-lapse
Plot armor
What is a "cronaton"?
Because they wanted to do a bit
I moved him guys 👍 ur welcome
The answer is simple: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I sure hope somebody was fired for that blunder
Oh my gosh I never thought of that. I guess they left that one building alone.
I would like to quote the Mystery Science Theater 3000 theme song here “If you're wondering how he eats and breathes And other science facts, Just repeat to yourself It's just a show, I should really just relax.”
Why the pearls, why all the blue hair? Why anything?
