AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The Futurama Fry meme features an image of Fry, a character from the animated TV show Futurama, squinting his eyes. The image is often used to create an image macro with text overlaid on the top and bottom. The top text typically reads 'Not sure if X', and the bottom text complements it with 'or just Y.' This format is commonly used to express uncertainty or confusion in the form of an internal monologue.
OriginWho did it first?
The image used in the Futurama Fry meme originates from an episode of Futurama titled 'The Lesser of Two Evils,' which is the sixth episode of the second season. In the episode, Fry makes the squinting face shortly after he is caught searching through Leela's underwear drawer, about 15 minutes into the episode. The first known use of this image in a meme was as a derivative of the 'I See What You Did There' format. You can see an example of how this image began being used in the meme format in this YouTube video.[1]
