–Yancy Fry, Sr.

Yancy Fry, Sr. (1948 - ?) is the father of Yancy Fry and Philip J. Fry, and husband of Mrs. Fry. He was also Philip's illegitimate son due to a time-travelling mishap, though he apparently believed his father to have been Enos Fry.

He was a military man and a veteran of the Vietnam War. He was slightly paranoid about "Commies" and "Y2K". He, along with his wife, thought sending Fry to school was a waste of taxpayers money. This was probably correct, as Fry was largely self-taught and had the means to deal with the Brainspawn many years later.

During the episode Cold Warriors, Philip Fry has multiple flashbacks of his father during an ice-fishing trip and a science fair battle he had with Josh Gedgie. While Yancy, Sr. seemed to be harsh of Philip, he later reveals that he's only tough on him in order to make him stronger. He mentions that Philip may have to deal with unimaginable problems, unknowingly hinting at Philip's fate, involving him being frozen for 1000 years.

Traditional Name Edit

There is a tradition in the Fry family that goes back to the late 1700s, to name the first born son "Yancy". Fry's father is referred to here as Yancy Fry, Sr. only to distinguish between him and his son Yancy Fry, Jr., though his actual name would be very different.
