Mom's sons Walt, Larry, and Igner conspire with the head of Pamela Anderson to steal Fry's ATM card and PIN.
They tranquilize Fry and fool him into believing it is still the year 2000, using a crude mock-up of Panucci's to make him think he fell asleep on the job.
Mom visits Fry with the intent of buying the anchovies, but relents upon discovering that he never knew about the Robot Oil and that he plans to eat them.
Even the resolution is lazy: laying on the curb with no money, Fry dreams of Bender and Leela lecturing him on how he was a terrible friend.
The episode is a loose adaption of the novel The Sleeper Awakes by H. G. Wells, where a time traveler gains a substantial amount of money through interest.
When Professor Farnsworth discusses the Atomic Supermen, he is making a reference to the Ed Wood film Bride of the Monster.
[citation needed] In the film, Dr. Eric Vornoff, played by Bela Lugosi, is planning to create an army of atomic supermen in order to take over the world.
