do you like fry better buff or no?

Fry as a scrawny weakling works best.  It's kinda hard to root for him if he's a buff dude.

Hmmmm.  Someone agreeing with me about Fry being skinny.  Fry should weigh under 100 pounds.   But he weighs more than Kiff and Farnsworth.   Besides, as much as I like him,  Fry just never struck as the hero type.  More like a 'bumbling-sidekick' type.

You're kidding, right? Fry is way too tall to weigh under 100 pounds. That would be absolutely ridiculous and completely unhealthy.

Buff Fry is weird, awkward, and despite having no real effect on his personality, it just makes him more unsympathetic. Even though he's special already with the delta brainwave and whatever, portraying him as a lazy slob really does bring him down to the average person's level more. It really adds to his charm and relatability.

It makes him more like the typical delivery boy I'm used to. Except UPS drivers, like the one portrayed by Phil on Mad TV.

Buff Fry IS weird.

I thought Fry was just supposed to be just the average 25 year-old delivery boy. Somehow a buff delivery boy doesn't work.... (Also I like Fry much better when he's normal and NOT buff).
