Futurama and Archer Comparison Infographic - Future Delivery Companies and Spy Agencies Are Surprisingly Similar

Today, we’ll be exploring the similarities between two of my favorite shows through an infographic.

The hilarious and heartbreaking

and the very comical and ridiculous

(both are on Netflix by the way)

Futurama (first aired in 1999) is set in the year 2999 onward. When Philip J. Fry accidentally cryogenically freezes himself for 1000 years, and wakes up in the distant future. He ends up working as a delivery boy at his very distant, many times great nephew’s delivery company, Planet Express. Where he goes on adventures with his best friend, who is an alcoholic robot, and the love of his life, who is a mutant cyclops, and more, as they risk their lives to make people’s packages get to them safely.

Archer (first aired 2010) is about a spy, named Sterling Archer, who works for his emotionally distant mother’s spy agency, the International Secret Intelligence Service, or ISIS (this show came out before the real life terrorist organization was established). He goes on missions with people like his ex-girlfriend (later the mother of his child), an HR Director/drug addict, and other ridiculous people.

This infographic is pretty self-explanatory. I think the infographic’s comparison was spot-on, linking all these character’s key characteristics.
