In "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" episode of animated series Futurama (first aired 10 Aug. 2003), the last episode of its original run on Fox, time-shifted delivery man Fry becomes a holophoner star. His talent (which was previously displayed in the "Parasites Lost" episode [first aired 21 Jan. 2001]) returns thanks to a deal with the Robot Devil to swap hands with him. His new robot hands give him the dexterity to express the music in his soul, even on beginner pieces like "The Grumpy Snail." Soon, he's selling his two-record set, Fry's Greatest Holophonor Hits, on TV and everything. Hedonismbot then commissions him to write an entire opera. Leela: Orphan of the Stars looks like a hit, until the Robot Devil interferes at intermission to get his hands back.
