About

"Shut up And Take My Money!" is a catchphrase used to express enthusiastic approval toward a product or idea. It is often associated with an image macro featuring the character Fry from the animated television series Futurama.

Origin

On July 1st, 2010, the "Attack of the Killer App" episode aired during season six of the animated sitcom Futurama. In the episode, the company Mom Industries releases the eyePhone, a parody of the Apple iPhone. When the protagonist Fry attempts to purchase one at a store, he is warned by the cashier about reception and battery life issues to which he interrupts yelling "Shut up and take my money!" while waving several dollar bills (shown at the 26-second mark below).

The following day, the German tech blog Crackajack[4] published a post about the episode and included an image macro of Fry with the caption "Shut up and take my money!"

Spread

On March 7th, 2011, Redditor calivessel submitted a photo of a credit card with the Fry image printed on top to the /r/pics[10] subreddit. The post managed to reach the front page and accumulated over 4,000 upvotes prior to being archived.
