      • Trivia
        $4.3 billion dollars may seem a ludicrous amount for Fry's bank account, but it is correct. Starting with 93 cents, compound interest of 2.25% over 1000 years comes to exactly $4,283,508,449.71.
      • Goofs
        After Fry gets his money stolen by Mom's sons, he could have gone to the police or the bank and reported it.
      • Quotes

        Fry: American Express?

      One of the most rewatchable episodes
      (Ranking every episode of Futurama #6) This episode is great, it isn't one of my favorite episodes, I think there are a lot that are better, but I can re-watch this one 15 times and still laugh at the many hilarious jokes. This episode introduces one of the best characters, Mom. She is the closest thing to a villain in this series, like Mr. Burns in The Simpsons. This episodes plot is really creative and whoever thought of this probably sounded crazy when they were discussing episodes. Just imagine somebody a group of people and one person says this "We should make an episode where the main character really likes anchovies but they are extinct in the future so he has to buy the last packet of them." I would laugh if I heard that in a pitch meeting. Overall, this is a great, rewatchable episode.
