Futurama: 10 Worst Things Fry Ever Did

When paying full price for gum was just too much for Fry and Bender to take, they joined the army for the sole benefit of a military discount. However, they were immediately thrown into an interplanetary war that saw many soldiers dying pointlessly.

During the battle with the race of sentient balls, Bender covered himself in glory. When he saw a bomb about to blow, he dived on it and saved the people around him. This even impressed the President of Earth himself, who commissioned Bender be melted down and made into a statue of himself. Then, on the other end of the spectrum is Fry.

While Bender was a hero, Fry was wallowing in a hole in the ground in a pool of his own cowardice. During the battle, Fry had the only wound-up positron shooter, but instead of covering Bender and Leela while they charged theirs, he hid.

The balls mounted their attack on the helpless soldiers, and if not for Bender’s aforementioned heroics, they would have all been killed. The horrors of war are unimaginable, but this was exactly what he signed up for when he tried to get 5% off his next gum purchase.
