Now, i adore Fry, he's my favourite character, but everyone knows that he's a complete idiot. But when i was watching "Fear of a bot planet" i suddenly realised that he actually did something smart! {faints in shock}
{Gets up} Anyway, you remember near the end Fry, Leela and Bender escape because Fry distracted the Robot elders by threatening to breath fire on them, well in my opinion that was a damm smart idea! It showed that he was actually paying attaention to that movie, and that he remembered what happend in it {usually his attention span and memory is about 2 minuets}
By threatening to breath fire on them, that distracted the elders long enough for them to get away, thus proving that he has actually done something smart for once.
If someones posted this before, i will hit myself with a mallet.

Fry has his moments of inspiration. That's what makes him different then say, Homer. See: the end of The Day the Earth Stood Stupid.

Also when he gave Leela his oxygen in "Love & Rocket" he was pretty smart.

He isn't any of that when he actualy pays attention and does something for his friends. (Admitably that doesn't happen often, But it does happen).

Yeah, I agree with the main man from N.J ( Thats Kryten BTW ) But I also think that Fry's actually being sarcastic at times e.g when he's playing with the gear shift in the car, in "Lesser of two evils" the things grinding away and Fry's says something like Fry - "Smooth" or in "I second that emotion" when he't telling then about the only way out being through an inch wide pipe Fry - "Dont worry it gets wider after a mile" Well thats the impression I get. I think someone might have mentioned this fact already Ah well

So he's basically a twenty-something teenager.

A lot of it depends on the writer, though. Some are willing to give his character depth (LotF, final scene of Parasites Lost, etc), and others make him out to be a complete idiot (PYHoMS, beginning of Cyber House Rules, etc.

Fry's smart! Someone proved what I'd known all along. The kid had big dreams. (although I admit this isn't a good indication of intelligence. Plus, at least he has a more scientific explanation for his dumb moments. Homer stuck a crayon in his brain. Of course that means that some plants are smarter than Fry, which I think is whack. Although it doesn't show as much anymore, he is still surprised by the future which may account for some of his stupid moments, but certainly not all.

Originally posted by Gocad: Fry defeating the brain by trapping him inside a book reminded me of an STTNG episode, so maybe he just remembered that from there. Actualy that whole eps reminded me of a Freakazoid, or Animaniacs episode! lol Partialbecuase of the voice of Nibbler
