Got a problem Sal? If you'd read this thread you'd notice that many people say it is a subliminal message like some company tried to fit into movies to advertice their products. As far as know there has even been a case where a single frame of porn was cut into comedy movie to check the audience's reaction. We also know that Futurama, made by Matt Groening, DXC and a crew of ph.D. owners is stuffed with technical jokes. Also do we know from some commentaries that they like(d) to read the online communites to get reactions to their work. I'd say this "pop" is just another gimmick they added in to trigger a discussion among us.. and it worked. Beside that, you also saw that this thread was bumped many times, mostly asking for evidence of this frame. My "And now to end it" and posting the picture gave evidence that it existed. ... try to get into the context before you start criticising people

Sorry for bumping the thread, everyone. It's just that a good amount of time has gone by since the last posting about this, and I thought maybe some new evidence or ideas may have surfaced regarding it. I really find this sort of thing intriguing. I myself just found out when reading the plot synopsis and episode trivia at Wikipedia. Any new info? (If not, please don't get on to me for bumping the thread. Just ignore me)

I can find threads that are still open with their last posts back in 2000. Maybe even 1999.

Maybe "POP" stands for something....or maybe not.

Good for you! I became a Starship Captain yesterday, I think.
On-topic: I checked in the TV version, it's not there. I believe now that it's probably some sort of DVD testing artifact. But if so, why 'POP'? Why not 'Test' or one of those multicolored test screens? Perhaps they knew something would be left over on the DVD when they tested, and knowing what geeks we are, they selected something with absolutely no point at all (like Monty Python) and put it in. And right now they're all sitting back with barrels of popcorn, watching us being all confused, and laughing. Well, there might be some truth in that...

You double posted to say "never mind"? Don't double post, edit instead. Originally posted by JDHannan: i'd bet its a message to the guy in the control room that the show is over and its a pretty standard thing on shows imho I'm sidestepping here, and digging up old stuff, but this irked me to no end. 1: Futurama in a movie theater? 2: You can't call your post an opinion (imho), but an assumption or possibly even a theory.

I checked the dvd and did see the "POP" message. If you want my opinion, which you probably don't... Recognize "POP", but don't fuss over what it means, resembles or why it was put there!

Maybe it's the weird little tinkling dripping sound or that the frame sort of pops off the screen or something. I don't know I'm just spitballing here.
