Despite the cashier's warnings about its drawbacks, Fry exuberantly interrupts with "Shut up and take my money!" while brandishing a wad of cash. This scene, occurring at the 26-second mark, can be viewed on YouTube. The German tech blog Crackajack featured the image macro with the caption the following day, leading to its spread.[1]
