How Fry Got Away With Cheating

#futurama #shorts

In a season one episode of Futurama, Fry becomes Emperor by drinking the old Emperor of a liquid civilization. How did he get away with it?

[stewiesaidthat]

How does liquid retain knowledge? By drinking the predecessor, that knowledge should transfer to the next king, which is why they are able to recall all previous kings.

[edbud]

The fact that they tried to drinking through a straw is kind of funny

[anthonyramirez]

“Most of these emperors were drunk at their own coronation.”

[blikthepro]

The greatest power move is showing that you can't be assassinated no matter what they try

[mittens]

Him trying to drink fry is the equivalent of us shooting an alien and the bullet bouncing off of them, lol

[WckedShadw]

"SIR HE... HE CANT BE DRANKETHED"

[Sjafm]

"You are not doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing."

[cuddlebug]

Ok but recalling stuff by making it appear on your body is such a cool concept though-

[athentdm]

imagine that guys reaction after trying to drink him like "what the HE NOT BE DRANK!?"

[rowanmanning]

“Their lack of understanding regarding humans was their undoing”. Man, the Trisolarisns cannot catch a break

[TyPhenirWLF]

They mostly allowed him to do it because they thought they could easily replace him.

[chaseishere]

I always thought they were chill with it because they knew a fry was not going to be the emperor for long.

[Stratostheory]

I wonder how much of an influence this episode played on Cixin Liu when he was writing the Three Body Problem.

[jellef]

It's funny that the Trisolarens in Futurama and in The Three Body Problem both don't know the concept of deception

[AppalachianKentucky]

Decent theory. I also like the possibility that they all knew he was cheating but they all knew he would be easy to kill cause he was so clearly stupid. So they were all waiting for their chance to drink his blood and become emporer

[nickrafacz]

"having words appear on his skin is how his species recalls their memories"

Well technically that is how books work so... Same same

[Spritofjazz]

Now this is the hard hitting journalism we needed

[rabbidguarddog]

Zoidberg offering to spin fry is the darkest joke in this episode imo.

[questionabletopic]

they don't understand how humans work, but at the same time they have a giant blender to separate the liquids from the solid pulp

[TeKett]

Which is why futurama is one of the best cartoons in existance.
