Futurama is an American animated science fiction comedy series created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series follows the adventures of a late-20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one thousand years. The series was envisioned by Groening in the mid-1990s while working on The Simpsons; he later brought David X. Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox.
References to Jack in the Box[]
In the 1999 episode "Hell is Other Robots," the robot character Bender runs into a high school friend, Fender, and asks him if he's still working at Jack in the Box.[1][2] This implies Jack in the Box still exists around the year 3000.
Notes[]
- Another future version of Jack in the Box is hinted at in the 1990 film Total Recall, which takes place in 2084.
- Creator Matt Groening is also the creator of The Simpsons, which has also referenced Jack in the Box.
