Character
Pizza Ad
Pizza Ad in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
A holographic pizza jingle that latches onto Fry in the year 3000 and simply will not stop singing. It follows him through the streets of New New York, cheerful and oblivious, treating a moment of culture shock as an opportunity for a captive audience and a catchy tune.
It's a throwaway gag elevated by commitment: Maurice LaMarche belts the jingle with full showbiz gusto, so the joke isn't just that advertising has become inescapable in the future, it's that the ad itself is delighted about it. A tiny bit, but it's the kind of tiny bit Futurama built a reputation on.
