About this "Futurama" episode:
"The Luck of the Fryrish" is the tenth episode in season three of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on March 11, 2001.
According to executive producer David X. Cohen, the storyboards for this particular episode were colored differently to represent the scenes which were based in the 31st century and the 20th century.[1] Cohen also notes that the concept of simultaneously telling two stories set in different times was inspired by The Godfather Part II.
The episode opens in the mid-1970s, where a young Yancy Fry is jealous of his newborn brother Philip, and copies him in anything he can. In the year 3000, Fry is getting fed up with his bad luck in a horse rally. A flashback shows Fry discovering a seven-leaf clover, which grants him extraordinary luck and allows him to beat his brother in any contest, from basketball to breakdancing. Fry sets off, with Leela and Bender, to find his clover in the ruins of Old New York and makes his way to his old house.
Back in the 1980s, a teenage Fry hides the seven-leaf clover inside his Ronco record vault in his copy of The Breakfast Club soundtrack. In the year 3000, Fry remembers the combination, but when the safe is stuck, Bender opens it up for him. Unfortunately, Fry discovers that the clover is missing, concluding that Yancy must have stolen it. They happen across a statue of whom they believe to be Yancy, with the seven-leaf clover in his lapel. The inscription: "Philip J. Fry - First person on Mars" angers Fry because he believes Yancy stole his name and his dream.
Professor Farnsworth pulls up a biographical movie about "Philip J. Fry", where the crew learns that he was a millionaire, rock star, astronaut, and is now buried (with the seven-leaf clover) in Orbiting Meadows National Cemetery, a graveyard orbiting Earth. A furious Fry sets off to rob Philip J. Fry's grave and recover the clover. The story jumps back to the early 21st century, where an adult Yancy is rummaging through his missing brother's music to find something to play at his wedding. Yancy discovers the seven-leaf clover and takes it.
Fry, Leela and Bender reach the grave site, and start digging, but Fry knocks loose some moss that is covering part of an inscription on Yancy's tombstone, and begins to read. The story jumps back to Yancy, who is discussing naming his newborn son with his wife. Yancy did not keep Fry's clover for himself; instead, he gave it to his newborn son and named him Philip J. Fry II. The inscription on the tomb reads "Here Lies Philip J. Fry, named for his uncle, to carry on his spirit." Bender finds the clover, and he offers to mess up the corpse, but Fry (now emotionally touched) instead returns the clover to his nephew's grave as "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds (from the Breakfast Club soundtrack) is heard before the end credits.
