In Fry's case the Slug soon died of starvation. This raises some interesting questions about the nature of both a Brain Slug and Fry, including whether a brain slug feeds upon the victims Delta brainwave to survive, of which Fry lacks. However, it is also possible that Fry is just a common idiot and lacks the mental energy to sustain the needs of an adult brain slug, but it's worth to mention that Fry's stupidity is caused by his lack of Delta brainwave, so it's still responsible for the Brain slug starvation.

For example, during scenes which serve little purpose other than to be entertaining, Futurama will often cut to a shot of a character with a brain slug attached. On these occasions, the unexpected appearance of a brain slug serves as a metaphor for television made simply to entertain, with no real cerebral content to offer the audience.

The use of this plot device can be seen in " Raging Bender " when the show cuts from a sensationalized fight scene to the recently-assimilated Hermes and Fry, who are watching the fight blankly. Hermes : [monotonous] The flight had a stopover on the Brain Slug Planet.

On Earth we see one example of Brain Slugs being politically active through those they have attached themselves to, though being none too bright they've made their intentions rather public as part of a Earth's democratic system of government.
The Brain Slug Party has never had a candidate run for office on Earth but it seeks to attach a brain slug to every working man and give great subsidies to the Brain Slug Planet. It promotes itself as being a participant in Earth's democracy but its real aim seems to be making Earth into a tributary state, or in the most extreme to dominate the planet by infiltration of its political system. Hermes and the Professor have both briefly been members of the Brain Slug Party though it's not known if the slug was attached before they joined or after they enrolled.
