From a chronologic standpoint yes, but from a biologic point of view he's around 28/29-ish (the best age). Also the vents in TMLH would affect his biologic age, as it did for Leela.

Leela doesn't seem 25 either. She's alot more mature, making you think she's older.

Here's the way I see it. Futurama is set so the characters don't have to age. The main characters are all adults so nothing is truly lost with flashbacks and such.
The Simpsons have 3 kids and they lost reality completely when third grade for Bart was "last year" Even thinking along the lines that the eps cover all the days in a year doesn't really add up. It would work, since they only hit 300 eps recently. The problem is that the eps aren't represented like that. They miss major opportunities by not aging the children as we've seen from the various "future" eps.

Originally posted by Xmpel: Simpsons revolves around an american family, they can't get older. The kids have to be kids.
But in Futurama Fry has now reach 28 or 29. He has also reach his sexual-peek. Just so you know :P Wrong! Men reach their sexual peak at 18! Women in their early or late 30s or early 40s. Leela is the same age as Fry. Biologically that is. Timewise, he's the oldest of them all.

True. But when you really think about that, it just doesn't work. If bender had been in the ground all that time then he wouldn't have been outside the suicide booth on new years eve to meet Fry. So the whole chain of events that led up to him being buried in the ground in the first place would never have happened! It's just one of those parodoxes of time travel. Although I like that clever plot twist , it doesn't hold up to any study. Wait what's this thread about?

But when you really think about that, it just doesn't work. If bender had been in the ground all that time then he wouldn't have been outside the suicide booth on new years eve to meet Fry Why? His head would have been in 2 places at once is all. It's no paradox. A paradox would be if Bender travelled back in time and prevented his past self from meeting Fry or Fry travelling back in time to stop himself from getting frozen. See if Fry travelled back in time to stop himself from being frozen, that would mean he would never have been frozen in the first place so he wouldn't need to travel back to prevent this, but if he didn't travel back in time this means he would be frozen and would end up travelling back in time to stop himself from being frozen,but that would mean he would never have been frozen in the first place so he wouldn't need to travel back to prevent this, but if he didn't travel back in time this means he would be frozen and would end up travelling back in time to stop himself from being frozen,but that would mean he would never have been frozen in the first place so he wouldn't need to travel back to prevent this, but if he didn't travel back in time this means he would be frozen and would end up travelling back in time to stop himself from being frozen... Oh crap, I lost my train of thought. What was I saying?

Originally posted by mikey: The no aging rule is really stupid But if they aged normally, Farnsie would have to die pretty soon. He's always saying about how he's going to die soon. 3ACV03 "I've only got a few years left to live! I don't want to spend them dead." 3ACV14 "I may be an old man...in fact I'm pretty sure I am..." It's good that they age, because it makes it more believable, but at the same time, they don't seem to age at the same rate as the rest of the world, which means that they don't need to kill off the Professor anytime soon.
