List of Futurama characters

Philip J. Fry (voiced by Billy West), primarily known by his surname Fry, is the main protagonist of the series. He is a 20th-century pizza delivery boy in New York City who, after getting dumped by his girlfriend and being stuck in a dead-end job, is cryogenically frozen on December 31, 1999, waking up 1000 years later just before the year 3000. After meeting Leela and Bender, the trio find employment at the Planet Express delivery company, owned by Fry's distant descendant Professor Farnsworth. Ironically, Fry becomes the delivery boy for Planet Express after rejecting his predetermined job of being a delivery boy upon waking up in the future. Fry is a goofy, dim-witted, slovenly but well-meaning individual. The series follows his transition from the 20th century to the 31st century.

Billy West used an impression of his own voice at age 25 to create Fry's voice.^[1]

Turanga Leela (voiced by Katey Sagal) is the female lead of the series. She is a one-eyed mutant who Fry meets after waking up 1000 years in the future. Originally working as a career assignment officer for cryo-preserved people waking up in the future, Leela quits her job after meeting Fry, joining him and Bender at Planet Express where she becomes the delivery ship's captain. She is one of the few characters in the cast to routinely display competence and the ability to command, and routinely saves the rest of the cast from disaster, but suffers extreme self-doubt because she has only one eye and grew up as a bullied orphan. She first believes herself an alien but later is revealed to be a mutant. Leela is also a skilled fighter and an environmentalist. The series also follows the relationship between Fry and Leela, as they start off as friends but later develop feelings for one another.

Bender Bending Rodríguez (voiced by John DiMaggio), designated in-universe as Bending Unit 22, unit number 1,729, serial number 2716057,^[2] is a humanoid industrial robot who rounds out the main trio of characters. He fulfills a comic, antihero-type role in Futurama and is described by fellow character Leela as an "alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler".^[3] Fry meets Bender at a suicide booth (which Fry mistakes for a telephone booth) after exploring the city following his escape from the cryogenics facility he was frozen at. After Fry gives Bender a reason to keep living, the two are caught by Leela, who joins them in going to Planet Express. Bender fulfills a variety of odd jobs at the company, including the head chef, and is also Fry's best friend and roommate.

Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth (voiced by Billy West) is Fry's great (×30) nephewand great (×31) grandson because of time reef paradox. A mad scientist and the proprietor of Planet Express, he alternates between intelligence and amoralsenility due to his greatly advanced age, stated to be at least 150 years old on multiple occasions (160 years old as of "A Clone of My Own"). He demonstrates a mastery of any field of science necessary for the series' plots and is suggested to be one of the most brilliant inventors on Earth. However, he falls asleep constantly, and he is implied to have routinely sent his former crews on suicide missions. He wears very thick glasses and has a gift for creating doomsday devices and atomic supermen. He has put at least one parallel universe in peril with his inventions and visited dozens more.

The Professor teaches at Mars University and has worked for Momcorp on several occasions but spends most of his time inventing ridiculous devices and sending the Planet Express delivery crew on suicide missions. What he is a professor of is never explicitly stated. In the episode "Mars University", when asked what he is teaching, he responds: "The same thing I teach every semester, the mathematics of quantum neutrino fields. I made up the title so no student would dare take it"; however, this declaration has not precluded the professor from demonstrating mastery of whatever field of science is convenient for a given episode's plot, as shown in Bender's Big Score when he proclaims, "I can wire anything directly into anything! I am the Professor!", proceeding to link Hermes' disembodied head to the ship's computer. Approximately 100 years before the series' timeline, he taught a young (not yet Professor) Wernstrom, whom Farnsworth regarded as a prized student. After he returned a pop quiz to Wernstrom with a grade of A-minus (for poor penmanship), the two became bitter rivals.^[4]

Many episodes' major plot points are introduced by Farnsworth announcing, "Good news, everyone!" or some variation thereof, either to unveil his latest invention or describe the company's latest delivery assignment. On the very few occasions he has actual good news, he often opens with "Bad news, everyone!" After Fry resigns from his job in "Law & Oracle", he states that he only says these phrases to make Fry "feel better about his pointless job." Another is his exclamation, "Sweet zombie Jesus!" He often says "Eh Wha?" when unaware of the situation, or when someone questions a statement he has just made. The Professor often makes mutually contradictory statements just moments apart; this happens especially often when briefing his employees, with the prevailing second statement canceling a much more reassuring first sentence.

The Professor rarely worries about the safety of the crew, viewing them as a means to an end, as evidenced in the first episode, where he is indifferent to what happened to his previous crew and only focuses on getting a new one. Farnsworth's employees later discover that their predecessors died while gathering honey from Space Bees.^[5] The Professor issues his new crew the previous crew's career chips from a manila envelope labeled "Contents Of Space Wasp's Stomach".^[6]

En el episodio " Día de la Madre " se establece que el Profesor fue amante y empleado de Mamá . Sin embargo, no pudieron mantener su relación debido a la sed de poder de Mamá, incluyendo cuando decidió convertir su juguete "QT McWhiskers" en un arma, lo que provocó su ruptura. Cuando Mamá toma el control de todos los robots del mundo para provocar una rebelión, sus hijos Walt, Larry e Igner intentan que el Profesor la seduzca y recupere el control remoto de los robots. Se reconcilian brevemente, pero rompen de nuevo cuando Mamá descubre que el Profesor la había estado utilizando inicialmente. En "El Juego de Bender" se revela que el Profesor es el padre biológico del hijo menor de Mamá, Igner  , a quien Mamá más desprecia.

Numerosas referencias a la revista pulp de ciencia ficción Weird Tales indican que el Profesor podría haber sido nombrado en honor a su editor, Farnsworth Wright . Otra posibilidad es que su nombre provenga del inventor y pionero de la televisión estadounidense Philo Farnsworth , quien apareció en el episodio de Futurama " All the Presidents' Heads " como antepasado del Profesor y de Philip J. Fry.

Billy West utiliza una combinación de imitaciones de Burgess Meredith y Frank Morgan . ^{[ 7 ]} Sin embargo, en el segmento "Action Delivery Force" de " Reincarnation ", el Profesor tiene la voz de David Herman . ^{[ 8 ]}

Hermes Conrad (con la voz de Phil LaMarr ) es un burócrata adicto al trabajo y el contable de Planet Express. Es de Jamaica y habla con un fuerte acento. Gestiona el negocio de reparto de Planet Express, cuyas responsabilidades incluyen pagar facturas, emitir exenciones legales y notificar a los familiares. Hermes es un gran entusiasta del limbo y fue atleta olímpico de limbo. ^{[ 9 ]} Un accidente en los Juegos Olímpicos de 2980, en el que un aficionado se rompió la espalda intentando imitar a Hermes, lo dejó traumatizado, y no pudo volver a practicar el limbo hasta décadas después, cuando lo necesitó. ^{[ 10 ]} La serie también alude al consumo de cannabis por parte de Hermes , aunque nunca se le ve consumiéndolo, en parte debido a las normas de censura de la televisión en horario de máxima audiencia en la época de Futurama.'s carrera original. ^{[ 11 ]}

Hermes frequently admonishes the staff for not working hard enough, and strongly dislikes Zoidberg, often treating him as a "thing" and not a person. Zoidberg is generally oblivious to this, considering Hermes his friend, but upon learning the truth in "The Six Million Dollar Mon", he callously calls out Hermes for his treatment of him. Later episodes show them building an uneasy rapport, with Hermes slowly softening to Zoidberg. He is also known to dislike labor unions, once referring to Labor Day as created by "fat-cat union gangsters", though seconds later he exclaims "Hot damn, a day off!" upon learning that it was that very day,^[12] and consulting Glurmo about firing the entire crew and replacing them with Grunka-Lunkas for half the pay.^[13] It is a recurring gag that Hermes wants to kill some or all of the members of the Planet Express crew; in "The Farnsworth Parabox", he suggests that Leela shoot the rest of the crew and ponders ejecting the entire crews of both universes into the sun.^[14]

Despite his disdain toward most of his coworkers, he is later portrayed as one of the most compassionate characters in the series, and seems to have a soft spot for Bender. In the Season 6 episode "Lethal Inspection," it is revealed that Hermes worked at the robot factory in Tijuana, Mexico where Bender was constructed, as Inspector No. 5, checking robots for defects as they came off the production line. Bender was built without a backup module, but Hermes' compassion for the baby robot led him to override Bender's "defective" assessment and give him a chance at life. He turned in his resignation afterward, and later destroyed all evidence of his employment there to prevent Bender from learning the truth, almost being killed in the process. At the end of the episode, he smiles as he watches his personnel file burn.^[15] In the earlier episode "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back", he risks his bureaucratic license to rescue Bender, sorting the entire Master IN pile in under four minutes to recover the disc containing Bender's downloaded brain.^[16]

Hermes is married to LaBarbara Conrad, with whom he has a son Dwight. LaBarbara was formerly married to Hermes' former Limbo rival Barbados Slim,^[17] and reunited with Barbados twice when Hermes was temporarily decapitated in Bender's Big Score.^[18] Hermes is also overweight, caused by over three decades of overeating including LaBarbara's goatcurry, which has made his skin too spicy and acidic for consumption by others.^[19]

Phil LaMarr stated that he was originally named Dexter, did not have a Jamaican accent, and was more uptight. Series creator Matt Groening walked up to LaMarr after an early table read and said "Hey Phil, can you do a Jamaican accent?" This resulted in making the character more workable and less bland, according to Groening.^[9][11]

John A. Zoidberg (voiced by Billy West), "M." D., commonly known by his surname Zoidberg, is the staff doctor for Planet Express, despite his poor understanding of human physiology and allusions to his questionable credentials. He is a Decapodian, an anthropomorphiccrustacean-like species of alien. His character parodies the supposed wealth and automatic respect of modern doctors—for example, his incompetence at human medicine makes him extremely poor despite his profession, and he is implied to be frequently homeless when not at work. The Decapod (named after the actual Decapoda order of ten-footed crustaceans) are an extended parody on Yiddish culture—the bigger joke being that shellfish are not kosher. The writing riffs on the marine theme in a playfully absurd way, with just about any marine Arthropoda or Mollusca being implied to be akin to Zoidberg.

La tripulación suele estar disgustada por sus hábitos repugnantes, como lanzar tinta o comer de la basura, aunque él ignora casi por completo sus verdaderos sentimientos hacia él, ya que se ha referido a Hermes Conrad y Bender como amigos. Hermes parece sentir una aversión aún mayor hacia Zoidberg, considerándolo incluso más prescindible que el resto de la tripulación. Sin embargo, cuando Fry lee la mente de Hermes en " Into the Wild Green Yonder" , se revela que Hermes lo ve como "patético pero adorable". En " The Six Million Dollar Mon ", después de que Hermes renuncia a Planet Express e intercambia partes de su propio cuerpo por partes de robot, un deprimido Zoidberg recupera las partes desechadas y las cose para crear un muñeco de ventrílocuo completo de Hermes, que luego usa para trasplantar el cerebro de Hermes de su cuerpo robótico a su cuerpo original. Después de que Hermes le da las gracias y admite que nunca habían sido amigos, Zoidberg le reprocha con crueldad su trato, dejando a Hermes impresionado por esta confrontación. Zoidberg se convierte brevemente en un héroe cuando salva a la Tierra de la esclavitud a manos de los de su propia especie en " Un sabor a libertad ". Fry y el profesor Farnsworth suelen ser los únicos que se refieren a Zoidberg como amigo, y en " El gran golpe de Bender" , Zoidberg dice de Fry: "¡Fue el único de ustedes que nunca me golpeó!" durante el homenaje a este último. Zoidberg tiene ambiciones de ser comediante, pero fracasa por completo en este empeño. En "¡ Eso es entretenimiento de langosta! ", su tío, la estrella muda de hologramas Harold Zoid (una parodia de Harold Lloyd ), le aconseja que abandone la comedia y financie una película cuyo guion está escribiendo Zoid.

Billy West interpreta al personaje con un acento con influencias yiddish inspirado en los actores George Jessel y Lou Jacobi . ^{[ 20 ]}

Zoidberg is named after an Apple II game that series writer David X. Cohen created in high school called Zoid, similar to the game Qix. The game was rejected by Broderbund.^[21][22][23] One of Cohen's inspirations for the character of Dr. Zoidberg was the fact that Star Trek character Leonard McCoy, the ship's doctor, frequently administered medical treatment to aliens such as Spock, so Cohen wished human characters in Futurama to be in the uneasy situation of being treated by an alien doctor.^[22]

Amy Kroker (née Wong) (voiced by Lauren Tom) works as an intern at Planet Express, supposedly kept around because she shares Professor Farnsworth's blood type and doesn't notice the Professor's tendency to send his crews on suicide missions. Her cocktail party personality and general klutziness get her in and out of trouble. She is the ditzy, spoiled daughter of wealthy agriculturalist-industrialist Han Chineserancher parents who raise buggalo (a hybrid of "buffalo" and "bug") on their property, the western hemisphere of the planet Mars. A graduate student for most of the series' run, in season six, she earns her PhD in Applied physics from Mars University, earning her the title of Doctor. Amy is also able to fly the Planet Express ship, and will sometimes pilot the ship if Leela is unable to.^[24][25] By the end of the series, she is the "Fonfon Ru" – the rough equivalent of a Common Law wife – of Kif Kroker, and the "true" mother of his offspring; Axl, Mandy and Newt Kroker. Amy's stereotypically Asian meddling parents frequently pressure her to get married and give them grandchildren, which she is not eager to do. They are often shown to be rather unkind to their daughter, including during an incident in which Amy's father repeatedly made fun of her for being fat as a child.^[26]

On the show, between her roles as expert technician and occasional theorist, Amy is known for being somewhat shallow, kind, and ditzy. When Doctor Zoidberg had lost his mind due to hormones and was forced to be tied up, she was fooled multiple times into untying him, despite the dangers. As she said herself, "Fool me seven times, shame on you, fool me eight or more times, shame on me." She uses Martian slang, which is simply American slang with altered consonants. Amy tends to wear rather provocative outfits. Her standard outfit is a midriff baring pink sweatshirt, matching sweatpants, and brown boots, with other outfits consisting of anything that reveals her navel. She confesses to Fry that she dresses that way to rebel against her parents; in the movie Into the Wild Green Yonder, she tells her father that she wears the sweatsuit because she knew he always wanted a son. When provoked, Amy can swear in poorly spoken Cantonese, such as "Aiya, da sei nei", which roughly translates to "Oh my God, I'll beat you to death".^[27]

According to her, because of her supreme cuteness, Amy had cuteness reduction surgery on her cheek and nose when she was a teenager.^[28]

Amy ha salido con algunos hombres y expresa una actitud sexualmente aventurera. En " El juego de Bender " representó características bisexuales . En " Proposición Infinita ", tuvo una relación robosexual con Bender ; también siente atracción por los "chicos malos". Salió con Fry por un tiempo en " Pon tu cabeza sobre mis hombros ", pero la relación fue breve ya que Fry pronto se cansó de ella. Sin embargo, durante su relación, él se vio involucrado en un accidente, lo que provocó que le injertaran la cabeza de él en su hombro para salvarle la vida. Todavía lleva una cicatriz desfigurante del incidente. Ha estado saliendo con Kif Kroker desde el año 3001. Aunque no está lista para un compromiso total, Amy está segura de que algún día lo estará. En " Kif queda embarazada ", se convirtió en la "Smizmar" de los hijos de Kif; es decir, inspiró los sentimientos de amor que hicieron que Kif fuera receptivo a la procreación. Aunque Leela es la madre biológica porque agarró la mano sin guante de Kif para evitar que saliera despedido de su nave espacial, sin saber que, en su estado receptivo, esto lo embarazaría (algunos de los niños incluso tienen un solo ojo como Leela), la Smizmar es considerada la verdadera madre en la cultura de Kif. El amor de Amy por Kif es innegable, y se la ha visto llorar cuando Kif emprende misiones peligrosas, temiendo por su bienestar. En la décima temporada, revela inadvertidamente que es bisexual. ^{[ 29 ]}

Al crear el personaje de Amy, Matt Groening y David X. Cohen decidieron que sería algo torpe. Groening estaba interesado en explorar la idea de usar la comedia física y el humor burlesco con un personaje femenino, ya que la mayor parte de este tipo de humor provenía de personajes masculinos en su trabajo anterior, Los Simpson . ^{[ 30 ]}

La personalidad de Amy era inicialmente diferente. Lauren Tom ha declarado que originalmente se suponía que sería "una mecánica de coches , una lesbiana muy dura". Se la cambió para proporcionar un mejor contraste entre ella y Leela . ^{[ 31 ]}

En el episodio de la cuarta temporada " Kif queda embarazado ", en el que el novio de Amy, Kif, queda embarazado, hubo cierta discrepancia entre los guionistas sobre si Amy debía ser la verdadera madre de sus hijos. Finalmente, se decidió que si Amy era la madre y rechazaba a los niños, resultaría demasiado antipática. ^{[ 32 ]}

Zapp Brannigan (con la voz de Billy West ) es un general de 25 estrellas en el ejército de la Orden Democrática de los Planetas (DOOP), aunque su título varía. Brannigan apareció por primera vez en el episodio " Trabajos de amor perdidos en el espacio " como capitán de la nave espacial Nimbus , donde encarcela a Fry , Leela y Bender por violar la "Ley de Brannigan".

Zapp es generalmente incompetente, egocéntrico, grosero, vanidoso, cobarde, sexista y miope. A menudo pronuncia mal palabras, como champán ("sham-PAGG-Enn") ^{[ 33 ]} y guacamole ("GWACK-a-mole"). ^{[ 34 ]} Poco después de conocerlo, Leela tiene relaciones sexuales con él por lástima. Él menciona este encuentro repetidamente en episodios posteriores, mientras sigue convencido de que Leela lo desea a pesar de la oposición de ella. Tiende a cometer errores catastróficos (como destruir el cuartel general de DOOP), ^{[ 35 ]} sin embargo, ante el público, es visto como un líder establecido y respetable del ejército de la Tierra. Su reputación como héroe respetado proviene de sus numerosas victorias militares, sin embargo, sus victorias se muestran vacías: o bien derrota a oponentes cómicamente débiles o emplea tácticas que ignoran deliberadamente la seguridad de sus propios soldados.

The character is based on the Star Trek captain James T. Kirk, played by William Shatner. The show's executive producer David X. Cohen has described Brannigan as "half Captain Kirk, half actual William Shatner". Zapp is voiced by Billy West, though he was originally intended to be voiced by Phil Hartman.^[36] Hartman insisted on auditioning for the role, and "of course, just nailed it" according to creator Matt Groening. However, after Hartman was murdered on May 28, 1998, West was given the role. On a Futurama DVD commentary, Groening claimed that Zapp's character and mannerisms were established in West's original audition for the character, and any similarity to Phil Hartman or his other well known cartoon characters (Lionel Hutz and Troy McClure) is simply coincidence. On the other hand, in an interview for the website TV Squad, Billy West states that his Zapp Brannigan is an imitation of Hartman and also "modeled after a couple of big dumb announcers I knew."^[36] During a live event, West stated that he partially modelled Brannigan's cadence after the radio persona of Doug Tracht, also known as "The Greaseman".^[37]

Lieutenant Kif Kroker (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) is the long-suffering assistant to Captain Zapp Brannigan, consort of Amy, and Fourth Lieutenant on the Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP) starship Nimbus. Kif is a short, thin, green-skinned amphibious alien from the planet Amphibios 9, and he compares his body plan to a sea cucumber. His frustration with Brannigan's arrogance, general incompetence, and lack of personal boundaries in Season 1 leads him to be a disaffected, indifferent, sardonic lackey, although his personality develops through the course of the series, becoming more emotional, tender and sweet-natured later on. Zapp thinks Kif to be his best friend and loyal confidant, whereas Kif sees Brannigan as an incompetent and vain buffoon, going so far as to call him a jackass in "Love's Labours Lost in Space". Despite this, Kif seemingly has some loyalty to Brannigan, even continuing to associate with him after Brannigan caused him to be court-martialed.^[35] Kif is in a long relationship with Amy Wong.

Lord Nibbler (efectos vocales y voz proporcionada por Frank Welker ) se disfraza de mascota inocente, linda y poco inteligente durante la mayor parte de la serie. En realidad, es un Nibbloniano muy inteligente y capaz de comunicarse, pero intenta evitar sospechas mientras protege a la Tierra en general y a Fry en particular de los Engendros Cerebrales. Como con todos los Nibblonianos, las heces de Nibbler consisten en materia oscura , que puede usarse como combustible para naves espaciales. Es un material extremadamente denso, "cada libra pesa más de diez mil libras", según el Profesor Farnsworth. ^{[ 33 ]} Después de que accidentalmente revela a la tripulación de Planet Express que puede hablar en Bender's Big Score , olvida borrarles la memoria de su inteligencia, lo que resulta no afectarles mucho, y desde entonces habla libremente con la tripulación. En el episodio piloto , se puede ver la sombra de Nibbler cuando Fry cae en el congelador criogénico, lo que alude a la revelación en el episodio de la cuarta temporada " El porqué de Fry " de que él ayudó a enviar a Fry al futuro.

Según el creador de la serie, Matt Groening, Nibbler se inspiró en los muñecos troll ; "tenían narices chatas y eran una especie de feos adorables". ^{[ 38 ]}

Scruffy (con la voz de David Herman ) es el gruñón conserje de Planet Express . Le dice a Hermes que es responsable de "baños y calderas, calderas y baños, además de ese baño hirviendo. Despídeme si te atreves". Un personaje muy parecido a Scruffy apareció por primera vez en " A Fishful of Dollars " como masajista de Bender , pero más tarde se unió al elenco como un empleado que aparece con poca frecuencia en Planet Express con el episodio de la segunda temporada " Anthology of Interest I ". Scruffy generalmente aborda tanto su trabajo como el resto de su vida con un alto nivel de aparente apatía, como se muestra en " Parasites Lost ", en el que ignora una caldera rota en la sede de Planet Express para leer una revista pornográfica , y continúa leyendo incluso después de que la caldera explota, declarando: "Scruffy va a morir como vivió". En " Future Stock ", se revela que le tiene un profundo cariño a la compañía y posee cuatro veces más acciones que los demás empleados. Las primeras veces que sus compañeros de trabajo lo mencionan o lo ven, le preguntan quién es, a lo que él responde: "Soy Scruffy. El conserje". Un chiste recurrente en las primeras apariciones de Scruffy es que nadie recuerda haberlo conocido antes, ni él los recuerda a ellos, incluso después de haber interactuado en varios episodios anteriores. Este chiste finalmente se abandona. Se le ve varias veces leyendo revistas pornográficas como National Pornographic y Zero G Juggs (parodias de revistas reales, National Geographic y Juggs ).

El episodio de la sexta temporada " El prisionero de Benda " revela que está enamorado de su cubo de lavado robótico, pero evita tener una relación con él. Es asesinado por Papá Noel Robot en el episodio no canónico de la antología " El especial navideño de Futurama ".

En " Law & Oracle ", se revela que Scruffy murió en algún momento y fue revivido como un zombi , comentando que "la vida y la muerte son un continuo inseparable". Scruffy apareció en el episodio crossover de Los Simpson de 2014, " Simpsorama ", junto con el resto del personal de Planet Express, donde se hace referencia a su condición de zombi.

Carol "Mom" Miller (con la voz de Tress MacNeille ) es la principal antagonista de la serie. Es una arpía agresiva, amenazante y maquiavélica que dirige y posee el 99,7% de MomCorp, un gran complejo industrial multimillonario con numerosas filiales y un monopolio en la producción de robots, además de ser la empresa que creó a Bender. En público, mantiene la imagen corporativa de una anciana dulce y enérgica que a menudo cae en el estereotipo de la abuela sureña; tras bambalinas, se quita el traje de gorda y emerge como una vieja bruja esquelética, malévola, codiciosa y malhablada. Tiene tres hijos, Walt, Larry e Igner, a quienes maltrata verbal y físicamente y a quienes a menudo emplea para que hagan su trabajo sucio. Mom tiene un pasado romántico con Hubert J. Farnsworth , quien trabajó en MomCorp cuando era joven, y anteriormente estuvo casada con el Dr. Ogden Wernstrom. En El juego de Bender , se reveló que Farnsworth es el padre de Igner.

En " La punta del Zoidberg " se revela que su nombre de pila es Carol .

En el episodio " Leela y el tallo genético ", Mamá trabaja en "Momsanto", un castillo flotante que alberga una instalación de ingeniería genética. Su nombre es una referencia a Monsanto , una empresa agrícola estadounidense conocida por la ingeniería genética de plantas . ^{[ 39 ]}

Calculon (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) es un robot actor de color dorado, famoso por sus papeles melodramáticos y su estilo de hablar dramático. Su papel más conocido es el del protagonista en la longeva telenovela de robots All My Circuits . En " The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings " se afirma que Calculon recibió su habilidad actoral del Diablo Robot. Calculon es del siglo XXI, habiendo sido creado como un robot industrial estándar llamado Calculon 1.0. Cambia de nombre y apariencia cada pocas décadas para ocultar su verdadera edad, afirmando que uno de sus disfraces fue David Duchovny . En " Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV " se revela que, durante todo su tiempo en All My Circuits , solo ha hecho una toma por cada escena; en " Calculon 2.0 ", Calculon afirma desconocer el significado de una "segunda toma".

In the episode "The Honking", it is revealed that his first job was in 2019 as a motorised service arm building the most evil car in existence, Project Satan. Calculon was run over by Project Satan, and became a were-car (the robot equivalent of a werewolf). The curse is broken at the end of the episode, when Project Satan is destroyed.

In "Bend Her", Calculon begins a relationship with Bender while he is disguised as Coilette of Robonia; Bender undergoes temporary gender reassignment to participate in the fembot league of the 3004 Earth Olympics. He becomes smitten with Bender's alter ego, who is merely using him for material gain. Calculon proposes, and Coilette accepts and then decides that she cannot continue the deception, and subsequently fakes her death at their wedding. In the conclusion of the episode, Coilette undergoes surgery to become Bender again, and Calculon makes a film in tribute to Coilette.

In The Beast With A Billion Backs Calculon is seen as the leader of the League of Robots, a robot supremacy society. Bender cheats in a duel with Calculon, resulting in the loss of one of Calculon's arms and the destruction of the league's headquarters. Calculon subsequently becomes outraged at Bender and resigns from the league, relinquishing the presidency to Bender. In Into The Wild Green Yonder, it is said that his operating system is Windows Vista. In re-airings of the movie on Comedy Central, he says his operating system is Windows 7.

Calculon dies in "The Thief of Baghead" when he tries to defeat Langdon Cobb in the World Acting Championship after Leela and Bender advise him to do the Romeo and Juliet scene and give him water and food coloring. Unfortunately, food coloring is fatal to robots. Calculon decides the only way to win the award is to actually drink the food coloring and die. After he dies, Cobb wins the award instead of him, making his death pointless.

In "Calculon 2.0", Bender and Fry decide to revive Calculon after deciding that they do not care for his replacement on All My Circuits, Vaxtron. They journey to Robot Hell and obtain Calculon's soul from the Robot Devil. The Professor has the crew perform a series of ritualistic "scientific" tasks to put the soul of Calculon back in his body. After Calculon is brought back to life, he returns to acting. He first performs a one-man show. When the show receives poor reviews where it was claimed that some people were taken to the hospital as well as a news report stating that Calculon's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was replaced with another one for Robert Wagner, Calculon determines that maybe he should not be acting and should have remained in hell. Leela, who opposed Calculon's return to acting, now wants to help him return to All My Circuits. She explains that he should go to an audition in disguise to play Calculon for the show. When he lands the part, Calculon returns to his former ways. Leela then makes him feel bad by saying that he has no acting skills, and that the world had forgotten he had even been alive within the first month of his death. She then explains to Bender and Fry that it was a ploy to save his part in the show. The show crew is smitten by his down-to-earth acting skills, and he reveals himself as Calculon. As he takes a bow, once again thinking that his life is worth living, a massive lighting fixture falls, crushing him. His life as Calculon 2.0 is honored; he watches the ceremony in Robot Hell where his soul resides once more much to the annoyance of the Robot Devil.

Calculon is brought back from Robot Hell in the first episode of the Hulu-produced revival season, "The Impossible Stream." In an attempt to watch every episode of television ever produced, Fry enters a binge-state that overpowers his mind while watching the final season of All My Circuits. To save Fry from mental whiplash from returning to reality, Leela and Bender pitch a revival of All My Circuits to the robot executives at streamer Fulu, who make a deal with the Robot Devil to bring Calculon back from the dead.

Morbo el Aniquilador (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) es el presentador alienígena misántropo de √ 2 News , Entertainment and Earth Invasion Tonight , Good Morning Earth y otros programas de la cadena de televisión √ 2. Morbo es un explorador avanzado de una próxima invasión alienígena y no se molesta en ser sutil al respecto, expresando a menudo su desprecio y odio extremo hacia la humanidad durante las transmisiones de noticias en vivo y comentando frecuentemente sobre los planes de invasión extremadamente violentos de su especie. Parece estar usando su trabajo para recopilar información sobre la raza humana para ayudar en la invasión planeada. Morbo es buen amigo del presidente Richard Nixon . ^{[ 40 ]} Su copresentadora Linda van Schoonhoven parece felizmente indiferente al odio de Morbo y suele responder con una risa vacía a los arrebatos despectivos de Morbo. Está casado con la Sra. (Fawn) Morbo, una miembro de su especie.

Linda van Schoonhoven (con la voz de Tress MacNeille ) es la copresentadora de √ 2 News junto a Morbo. Ignora por completo o le es indiferente el odio que él siente por la humanidad, y a menudo se ríe distraídamente cuando él pide la muerte de los humanos. Linda se une a Leela y sus feministas en Into the Wild Green Yonder porque los productores tratan mejor a Morbo que a ella, con un sueldo más alto y más tiempo en pantalla. En " Benderama ", se revela que es alcohólica, lo que podría explicar su actitud alegre y aparentemente despreocupada. También se revela que una de las causas de su alcoholismo es su relación con sus hijos.

En el episodio crossover de Los Simpson de 2014, " Simpsorama ", una de las criaturas con forma de conejo que irrumpe en el estudio se la come viva.

Axl (voiced by Maurice LaMarche), Newt and Mandy (both voiced by Lauren Tom) are the children of Kif Kroker and Amy Wong. Although Amy raises them as her own, their genetic mother is Leela. Kif gives birth to them in "Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch", and twenty years later, in "Children of a Lesser Bog", they are the only remaining spawn that survive the perils of nature, getting eaten by creatures or Zoidberg. Despite being the same age, Axl appears to resemble a teenager, Mandy a child and Newt a baby due to spending their development in the swamp at different water levels. Newt has only one eye and Axl has black hair. Their names are plays on types of amphibians: axolotl, salamander, and newt, respectively.

Cubert Farnsworth (voiced by Kath Soucie) is Professor Farnsworth's clone,^[41] which the Professor produced to serve as his heir and continue his scientific legacy. He is introduced in the episode "A Clone of My Own", in which he rejects Farnsworth and becomes hostile to the entire Planet Express crew.^[42] Professor Farnsworth reveals that he had been lying about his age, and is taken to the Near Death Star for retirement. The crew rescues the professor using Cubert's (and thus the Professor's) DNA to gain entry, and Cubert (after taking a hard hit to his head) announces that he will continue the professor's science after all.

The Professor created Cubert with the intention that he would continue his work after discovering that his life was wasted with nothing but failed or worthless inventions. Hubert is delighted until he discovers that Cubert's intentions are not as he planned. Cubert wants to do something 'better' with his life and does not accept the responsibility Hubert gives to him. He believes that most things happen to be "Impossible" contrary to the Professor's belief that nothing is impossible. Cubert has an epiphany after getting hit on the head, realizing how the starship engines Hubert invented work, allowing them to be repaired while Hubert is incapacitated. After this, he decides he wants to follow in his "father's" footsteps after all. Cubert became friends with Dwight Conrad, the son of Planet Express's resident bureaucrat Hermes Conrad.

Dwight Conrad (voiced by Bumper Robinson in two episodes, Phil LaMarr in the rest of the series) is the son of Hermes Conrad and LaBarbara Conrad. He is a close friend and Dungeons & Dragons player with Cubert Farnsworth, and follows his father in the ways of accounting and bureaucracy.

LaBarbara Conrad (voiced by Dawnn Lewis) is the statuesque and much more attractive wife of Hermes Conrad and mother of Dwight Conrad. Her number two is her ex-husband Barbados Slim, the rival of Hermes, who she refers to as "a human Adonis" and "a mahogany god." Hermes is insecure when Barbados is around, and LaBarbara leaves Hermes occasionally, such as in Bender's Big Score, to be with Barbados Slim after Hermes loses his body. She often wears clothes that reveal her belly button (like Amy Wong), and she scolds Hermes for his off-screen cannabis use.

Leo Wong (voiced by Billy West in Seasons 1-7, Feodor Chin in Season 8-present) and Inez Wong (voiced by Lauren Tom) are the very wealthy parents of Amy Wong. They are human Martians of Chinese descent who own the entire western hemisphere of Mars and a buggalo ranch. They often pester Amy about their lack of grandchildren and meddle in her love life, trying to find a man to father their grandchild. When Amy and Kif Kroker begin dating, they decide Kif is not man enough for her. They do seem happy when he and Amy have children. Leo is one of the primary villains in Into the Wild Green Yonder, and they disrespect the indigenous Martians.

Turanga Morris and Turanga Munda (voiced by David Herman and Tress MacNeille) are Leela's father and mother and later on Fry's parents-in-law. They are sewer mutants who love Leela deeply and try to give her as normal a life as possible by passing her off as an alien and leaving her to be raised in an orphanage. They participate in her life as much as possible from the sewers until Leela finally learns the truth and attempts to form a real relationship. They each have one eye, Morris has a vertically oriented mouth, ten toes on each foot, and the ability to shed his skin, while Munda has a lion-like tail and octopus tentacles in place of arms.

Their original appearance in "I Second That Emotion" shows them as plain cyclopes like Leela.

La trama de " El planeta natal de Leela " requirió la adición de mutaciones adicionales para que encajaran con la idea de que Leela puede vivir una vida normal, mientras que ellos no pueden. ^{[ 43 ] [ 44 ]} En el mismo episodio también se revela que Munda tiene un doctorado en "exolingüística", lo que le permite hablar lenguas alienígenas y escribir en " alienés ".

Yancy Fry (con la voz de John DiMaggio ) y la Sra. Fry (con la voz de Tress MacNeille ) son los padres de Fry y, más tarde, los suegros de Leela. Son humanos del siglo XX que solían estar absortos en sus propios intereses. La exnovia de Fry, Michelle, le informa que la policía quería buscarlo, pero sus padres consideraron que era un despilfarro del dinero de los contribuyentes. Sin embargo, a lo largo de la serie se revela que, efectivamente, lo habían echado de menos y lo buscaron sin éxito. "Yancy" es un apellido tradicional que se remonta a la Guerra de Independencia , por lo que se desconoce si a Yancy se le conoce como "Yancy Sr." (" La suerte de los Fry ").

Como resultado del viaje en el tiempo de Philip, Yancy Sr. es fruto de una relación incestuosa de una noche entre Philip y su abuela, por lo tanto, es hijo de su propio hijo. (" Roswell That Ends Well ")

Yancy Fry Jr. (con la voz de Tom Kenny ) es el hermano mayor de Fry en los siglos XX y XXI. Yancy Jr. es mayormente grosero y competitivo con Philip, como se ve en " La suerte de los Fry ". Sus celos hacia su hermano se remontan al nacimiento de Philip, cuando Yancy deseaba tener ese nombre, pero le informaron que su nombre, Yancy, era una tradición familiar que databa de la Guerra de la Independencia . (Se desconoce si su nombre formal es Yancy Jr.). Tras la desaparición de Fry, Yancy queda tan devastado que finalmente nombra a su hijo Philip J. Fry en su honor. Yancy también es un antepasado del profesor Farnsworth.

Walt (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ), Larry (con la voz de David Herman ) e Igner (con la voz de John DiMaggio ) son los tres hijos de Mamá, quienes a menudo son víctimas de su abuso verbal y físico. Walt es el mayor y el líder, con una voz basada en Vincent Price ; Larry, como su nombre lo indica, es el del medio del trío, un cobarde; e Igner, el menor, el más tonto y el que se distrae con más facilidad, es el ignorante por excelencia. En El juego de Bender se revela que el profesor Farnsworth es el padre de Igner, y otras escenas insinúan que el profesor Wernstrom también es el padre de los otros dos.

Los ómicronianos son una raza alienígena reptiliana del planeta Ómicron Persei 8.

• Lrrr ( / l ɜːr / , con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) es el gobernante del planeta Omicron Persei 8, y siempre se presenta como tal. ^{[ 45 ]} Su objetivo es proyectar una actitud fuerte y despiadada de conquistador, pero a menudo termina mostrando un lado sensible. Actualmente está casado con Ndnd, su segunda esposa, con quien tiene un hijo, Jrrr ( / dʒ ɜːr / , con la voz de Lauren Tom ). Su primera aparición importante es en el episodio " Cuando los alienígenas atacan ". ^{[ 46 ]} En " Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences ", afirma haber asesinado a su padre por su capa.
• Ndnd (voz de Tress MacNeille , pronunciado / ʌndˈʌndʌ / ), es la segunda esposa de Lrrr. Es dominante y mandona, y a menudo le regaña a Lrrr para que coma más sano y cumpla con sus deberes como gobernante supremo de Omicron Persei 8. En " Lrrreconciliable Ndndifferences " , parece completamente indiferente a la infidelidad de Lrrr con otra mujer ómicroniana, pero se siente profundamente molesta porque él escucha los reproches de Leela sobre la suya. Sus problemas matrimoniales también tienen un papel importante en " Spanish Fry ".

La Mafia Robot es un pequeño sindicato del crimen que opera desde "Fronty's Meat Market" y "Small Bill's Laundry", cuyos miembros cenan periódicamente en Elzar's, secuestran cargamentos de puros Zuban, provocan "accidentes" a los robots que actúan en su contra, además de otras actividades ilegales no especificadas relacionadas con la mafia. Está compuesta por:

• The Donbot (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) – The crime boss of the Robot Mafia. He is often depicted to be oblivious to various plots against him, particularly repeated infractions by Bender, including having sex with the Donbot's wife, having sex with his daughter, stealing from the Donbot, and stealing the Donbot's own foot. Despite his obliviousness, he still sees to it that his orders are carried out and have any of his enemies eliminated.
• Clamps (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) – A goonbot with an angry, aggressive disposition obsessed with using the clamps that act as his hands. At times, the Donbot and/or Joey would have to restrain Clamps from losing his temper. In the Season 6 episode "The Silence of the Clamps", his name is revealed to be Francis X. Clampazzo.
• Joey Mousepad (voiced by John DiMaggio) – A burly goonbot wearing a computer-mouse necklace. He is somewhat dim-witted, as noted by his occasional malapropisms. In one instance, Joey offered to dub Bender (who later chose "Blotto") with the nickname "Clamps," which infuriated Clamps.
• Fanny (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is a female robot and Donbot's wife with a propeller built into her rear end. She has an affair with Bender during Into the Wild Green Yonder, leading the Donbot to have both of them shot and buried as a warning. They survive and Fanny returns to her husband. The couple have at least two daughters, including Bella, with whom Bender has a brief relationship during "The Silence of the Clamps". Her body contains a church bell that rings loudly whenever she moves.

Dr. Ogden Wernstrom (voiced by David Herman) is a former student and now rival of Professor Farnsworth, in the field of science. He resents an "A−" grade given for sloppy penmanship by Farnsworth in 2900, and worked for over one hundred years to obtain revenge. Farnsworth usually greets him with an angry shaking fist and a long, drawn-out "Weeeerrnnn-strom!" He often competes against Farnsworth in various competitions, such as the Annual Inventors' Symposium. Despite this, their rivalry appears to have softened over the years, and they have even managed to collaborate with one another every once in a while. Wernstrom also appears to respect some of Farnsworth's decisions if he himself believes them to be right as well, as showed in The Beast with a Billion Backs.

In Bender's Game it is revealed that he was once previously married to Mom, and may be the father of Mom's two eldest sons Walt and Larry.

El episodio " Guerreros del frío " de la sexta temporada revela que Wernstrom ha sido nombrado Cirujano General de la Tierra.

El expresidente (con la voz de Billy West ) se mantiene vivo como una cabeza en un frasco como muchas otras celebridades. Originalmente reside en el Salón de los presidentes en el museo de cabezas, pero finalmente se va y se convierte en el Presidente de la Tierra , ganando por un solo voto. ^{[ 47 ]} La administración de Nixon se caracteriza por una política exterior violenta y agresiva , entrando frecuentemente en guerras que tienen poco o ningún propósito. La cabeza de Nixon a veces está acompañada por el cuerpo sin cabeza de Spiro Agnew .

Billy West ha comentado que no está imitando a Richard Nixon para el papel; está imitando a Anthony Hopkins en Nixon (con "un poco de hombre lobo ", su Nixon tiene la tendencia de insertar un sonido similar a "aroo" en sus frases), y que, en lugar de intentar cultivar una buena imitación, cultiva los defectos de la misma. Matt Groening también expresa con frecuencia su placer de poder seguir burlándose de Nixon 30 o 40 años después de que dejara el cargo. ^{[ 48 ]} La cabeza de Nixon fue incluida en la lista de TV Squad de las cinco mejores apariciones televisivas de presidentes en forma animada o de marioneta. El personaje fue considerado particularmente interesante porque podía ser "pura maldad" pero también inspirar respeto y también porque "la cabeza de Nixon atrapada en cristal es realmente divertida". ^{[ 49 ]}

Roberto (con la voz de David Herman ) es un robot psicótico y criminalmente demente que suele llevar un cuchillo con el que tiende a apuñalar. Su voz se basa en la del comediante Dick Shawn . A menudo se le representa como un paciente que recibe tratamiento por locura criminal. En su primera aparición en " Insane in the Mainframe ", es internado en un manicomio después de asaltar el mismo banco tres veces seguidas, y se le ve matando a otros robots al escapar del hospital. En Bender's Game afirma que sus creadores intentaban crear un robot demente, pero "fracasaron". Esta naturaleza violenta se ve acentuada por un cuerpo que, según David X. Cohen y Matt Groening, se basa en la forma de una lápida. ^{[ 50 ]} Roberto aparece en Bender's Game como un paciente en el mismo manicomio. Más tarde aparece en las escenas de parodia de la Tierra Media de esa película con un papel equivalente al de Denethor . Recupera brevemente la cordura tras recibir un golpe en la cabeza durante una batalla, pero vuelve a la locura al ser golpeado una segunda vez inmediatamente. Aparece en " Proposición Infinita " en el mismo manicomio, esta vez con un calcetín en lugar de su cuchillo habitual. Le dice a Bender: "¿Alguna vez has matado a un hombre con un calcetín? No es tan difícil".

En el episodio " El Mon de los Seis Millones de Dólares " de la séptima temporada, Roberto es arrestado cuando intenta robarle la piel a Hermes Conrad y a su esposa LaBarbara. Es ejecutado por este crimen, pero Bender lo desentierra y roba su circuito cerebral para que Hermes pueda implantárselo y completar su transformación en robot. Cuando el robot intenta robarle la piel al verdadero Hermes (reconstruido por el Doctor Zoidberg a partir de las partes del cuerpo desechadas), se derrite debido a los residuos acumulados de especias fuertes de la cocina de LaBarbara.

Roberto aparece vivo en " Stinch and Stenchibility " y "How the West Was 1010001".

Beelzebot, more commonly referred to as The Robot Devil (voiced by Dan Castellaneta in regular appearances, Maurice LaMarche in "A Tale of Two Santas"), serves as the leader of Robot Hell, which is hidden beneath the "Inferno" ride at the amusement park "Reckless Ted's Funland" in New Jersey. His function is to torment robots who have committed various sins under the practice of Robotology. If a deal is made with the Robot Devil, he appears to have unlimited power and can grant almost any request, but always with a catch that would benefit him and cause the dealers to suffer. He is similar to HIM from The Powerpuff Girls franchise, although not quite as intimidating nor as competent. The voice acting of the Robot Devil by Dan Castellaneta has been described as a "bravura performance" on his part.^[47] The Robot Devil is available as a build-a-figure from the first three series of Futuramaaction figures by Toynami.

He first appears in "Hell Is Other Robots", kidnapping Bender and tormenting him until Fry and Leela manage to save Bender. He plays another major role in "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", in which Fry makes a deal with the Devil to improve his holophonor skills. Fry wins the Robot Devil's own hands and uses them to write an opera about his and Leela's life all the way up until he makes his deal with the Robot Devil. The Robot Devil manages to reverse the trade after setting up a complicated scheme to force Fry into relinquishing his hands as a condition for Leela not to marry him under contractual obligation. The character also makes brief cameos in "A Tale of Two Santas" and "Crimes of the Hot". In the episode "The Silence of the Clamps" he is shown as one of the wedding guests. He plays a key role in the Season 6 episode "Ghost in the Machines", offering to reunite Bender's body and spirit if Bender scares Fry to death. This same episode reveals that he keeps several spare bodies in his office and can transfer his spirit to one of these if his body is destroyed.

The Robot Devil appears in the film series on several occasions, most notably The Beast with a Billion Backs, where Bender makes a deal with the Robot Devil exchanging his first-born son for the Armies of Hell. Bender more than happily locates his son and kicks the child into a vat of lava, causing the Robot Devil to comment, "That was pretty brutal, even by my standards." Bender simply replies, "No backsies!" In Bender's Big Score, he conducts the band at Lars and Leela's wedding.

In the commentary for "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", Castellaneta says the voice is based on a "bad impression of Hans Conried".

Robot Santa (voiced by John Goodman in the first appearance, John DiMaggio in later appearances)^[51] is a robot created in 2801 by The Friendly Robot Company to judge beings as naughty or nice and distribute presents or punishments accordingly. Due to a programming error, his standards are too high, as he judges everyone to be equally naughty. This is because he believes that one sin a year equals "very naughty". So needless to say, that no one gets any presents, (with the one-time exception of Dr. Zoidberg, who got a Pogo-Stick as a gift). In the event that he judges himself naughty, Robot Santa can regenerate his head when it explodes. This leads him to go on destructive rampages across Earth every Christmas using Christmas-themed weapons, such as grenades shaped like Christmas ornaments, bicycle guns, and T.O.W. missile launchers to punish "naughty" beings. He resides in a death fortress on Neptune along with a number of Neptunians that act as slave labor for the toy factory.^[52]

On land his feared presence can be heard with the loud clacking of his metal boots, and in the sky, he is feared by his sleigh bells on his robot Reindeers. This causes Earth's locals to panic and take shelter in their own homes or in retail stores.

In Bender's Big Score, he assisted Earth's population in reclaiming their planet after it was purchased by the devious Scammers, forcing his Neptunian elves to build weapons for an assault and participating personally in the ensuing battle. He is part of an alliance called The Trinity, a trio of holiday-themed madmen comprising himself, Kwanzaabot, and the Chanukah Zombie.

In "I Know What You Did Next Xmas", Professor Farnsworth goes back in time to attempt to fix Santa's naughty and nice sensor. When he believes he did so, he has everyone celebrate Xmas with their families, however, Bender and Zoidberg have no families to go home to, so they go back in time to murder Robot Santa. They do their best to hide the body all around, but by the end, they see that Santa is still alive and still thinks everyone is naughty, because the Professor created a paradox in which he was the one who made Santa think everyone on Earth was naughty.

Barbados Slim (voiced by John DiMaggio in seasons 4-7, Kevin Michael Richardson in season 8-present) is Hermes' arch-rival. He not only defeated Hermes at the 3004 Olympics to win the gold medal in limbo, but is also the only person ever to win gold medals in both limbo and sex. He was formerly married to LaBarbara Conrad, who still refers to him as a "mahogany god".

In Futurama: Bender's Big Score after Hermes was decapitated in a limboing accident, LaBarbara left him and got back together with Barbados, even going so far as to take his last name, even though they never remarried and Dwight was never adopted. After Hermes uses his bureaucratic prowess to save Earth from the scammers and wins back LaBarbara (and gets a new body), Slim vows "You have not seen the last of Barbados Slim!" before adding "Now goodbye forever!" As he prepares to leave the bridge, the sliding door malfunctions and goes down halfway. Slim then tries to limbo beneath only for the door to fall and crush his chest.

Doubledeal (voiced by Tom Kenny) is a businessman usually depicted organizing or owning various sporting events, to which he would recruit various season regulars. He first appeared in "Raging Bender" as the owner of the Ultimate Robot Fighting League, and later in "A Leela of Her Own" as owner of the New New York Mets blernsball team.

He was a television producer in "Yo Leela Leela", at the end of which he adopted all of the orphans from Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium to help him produce Leela's show Rumbledy-hump.

By the time of the events of "The Butterjunk Effect" episode Doubledeal was in charge of the Butterfly Derby. The character's name is a reference to Abner Doubleday, a US Civil War general who was alleged to have invented the game of baseball.

Las amazonas son mujeres altas y poderosas que aparecen por primera vez en " Brannigan, Begin Again ", pero su primera aparición estelar es en " Amazon Women in the Mood ", cuando Zapp, Leela, Amy y Kif quedan varadas en su planeta. Son primitivas que empuñan garrotes, viven en chozas y, casualmente, están gobernadas por una computadora femenina llamada "Femputer" (con la voz de Bea Arthur ). Se revela que Femputer es una fembot que opera la gigantesca fachada de la computadora desde una pequeña sala de control. Su sistema legal permite un ritual de pena capital llamado "Muerte por Snu-Snu".

La mayoría de los personajes amazónicos tienen la voz de Tress MacNeille . Otros personajes amazónicos han tenido la voz de Suzie Plakson y Karen Maruyama .

Varias celebridades y figuras históricas se mantienen vivas como cabezas en frascos de líquidos. La tecnología es crucial para la conexión de Futurama con la cultura de los siglos XX y XXI, ya que permite que figuras importantes del pasado aparezcan en la serie. Esto también permite que celebridades contemporáneas hagan apariciones especiales como ellas mismas. ^{[ 47 ]} La tecnología fue inventada por Ron Popeil , quien también es una cabeza. ^{[ 53 ]} Las personas parecen poder ser resucitadas usando esta tecnología, ya que todos los presidentes de los EE. UU. se encuentran en el "Museo de las Cabezas"; la cabeza más prominente es la de Richard Nixon, quien se convierte en el Presidente de la Tierra. En " Todas las cabezas de los presidentes ", se revela que el agua en la que se mantienen, al ser bebida, puede enviar a una persona de regreso al año en que fue más famosa.

Si bien la mayoría de las voces de las cabezas son las de sus homólogos de la vida real, algunas son interpretadas por imitadores.

El Abogado Hiperpollo (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) es un gran pollo azul verdoso con modales sureños y unas gafas de pinza en el pico. Es un extraterrestre originario de lo que él describe como un "asteroide remoto". La serie nunca revela el nombre del Abogado Hiperpollo (ni su inexistencia); en " Brannigan Begin Again ", se revela que la especie del Abogado Hiperpollo es "hiperpollo". En el comentario de " A Tale of Two Santas ", David X. Cohen explica que el guion simplemente usó la designación "hiperpollo" para referirse al personaje. Es un abogado que ha aparecido tanto como abogado defensor como fiscal. Es un pésimo abogado, pero a pesar de su incompetencia, a veces logra ganar sus casos, y si no lo hace, suele decirles a sus clientes que se declaren dementes.

El abogado hiperpollo es una parodia que combina a abogados rurales "folclóricos" como Ben Matlock y Atticus Finch con el personaje Foghorn Leghorn de los Looney Tunes .

En una escena eliminada de Into the Wild Green Yonder , se le llama Matcluck.

Elzar (con la voz de John DiMaggio ) es un famoso chef neptuniano de cuatro brazos, dueño de su propio restaurante en Nueva York, "Elzar's Fine Cuisine", y de un programa de televisión. Elzar es grosero, vulgar y desagradable, y tiene una opinión muy alta de sí mismo. Nunca pierde la oportunidad de sacarle dinero a sus clientes y fans. También se sabe que ocasionalmente roba de su propia caja registradora . El utensilio de cocina favorito de Elzar es su Comadreja de Especias, una criatura parecida a un mustélido que expulsa una nube de especias por el hocico al apretarle el cuerpo. Elzar suele usar las frases "¡Bam!", "¡Dale un toque especial!" y "¡Sin duda!". El personaje de Elzar es una alusión a Emeril Lagasse . ^{[ 54 ]}

Los Globetrotters son una raza de humanos que juegan al baloncesto y que residen en el Planeta Globetrotter. Además de sus extravagantes jugadas de baloncesto, los Globetrotters son conocidos por su destreza en matemáticas, lógica y física, y han contribuido a salvar tanto la Tierra como el Universo.

Los Globetrotters están liderados por Ethan 'Bubblegum' Tate. Otros miembros principales conocidos son 'Sweet' Clyde Dixon, 'Curly' Joe y 'Goosh', aunque hay otros miembros del equipo no identificados que aparecen a lo largo de la serie.

Hattie McDoogal (con la voz de Tress MacNeille ) es una anciana amante de los gatos que suele usar palabras y frases sin sentido, como "kajigger" y "whatchacallit". Fue brevemente la casera de Fry y Bender, y posee una sola acción de Planet Express, lo que le otorga el voto decisivo para elegir a su director ejecutivo. Se ha casado dos veces, sobreviviendo a ambos matrimonios, y suele tener citas. En una ocasión contrató a Kif Kroker como acompañante masculino. MacNeille también presta su voz a la Loca de los Gatos en Los Simpson .

Hedonismbot (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) es un robot dorado construido en posición de descanso que exhibe las características típicas del hedonismo y la decadencia , como comer constantemente de un tazón de uvas sobre su estómago. Apareció por primera vez en " Crímenes del calor " en la Fiesta de Robots de las Islas Galápagos. Tiene un sirviente humano llamado Djambi y ha declarado que "Yo también he conocido el amor poco convencional", haciendo referencia a dispositivos apocalípticos. Disfruta de un baño de chocolate, de que le froten los pezones con papel de lija industrial (y una lijadora eléctrica) y de ver cuánto tiempo puede mantenerse entretenido durante una ópera. ^{[ 55 ]}

El Hypnotoad es un alienígena grande parecido a un sapo con ojos pulsantes y multicolores que emite un zumbido fuerte y ominoso. Tiene el poder de hipnotizar a casi cualquier ser vivo a voluntad, incluso a grandes cantidades de criaturas. El Hypnotoad apareció por primera vez en " El día que la Tierra se volvió estúpida ", donde hipnotizó a un rebaño de ovejas para que se metieran en un corral y cerraran la puerta tras ellas, al jurado para que ganaran el concurso de mascotas y, finalmente, al público del concurso para que aprobaran esa victoria. En " No se debería permitir que Bender salga en la televisión ", se mostró que tenía un programa de televisión, Todos aman al Hypnotoad , en el que hipnotizaba al público (excepto a Fry, debido a su falta de ondas cerebrales delta ). El DVD de Futurama: Bender's Big Score incluye un episodio completo de 22 minutos. ^{[ 56 ] [ 57 ] [ 58 ]}

Los nativos alienígenas de Marte son una parodia directa y abierta de los nativos americanos modernos de Estados Unidos , incluyendo su vestimenta, modales y acento. Despojados de sus tierras ancestrales, a las que veneraban como sagradas, aceptan trabajos humildes como peones de rancho y empleados de casino . Sus ancestros intercambiaron Marte con la familia Wong por una cuenta, pero cuando descubren que la "cuenta" es en realidad un enorme diamante, abandonan Marte y se dirigen a otro planeta, al que pretenden venerar como sagrado.

Su jefe es Viento Cantor (con la voz de Billy West ).

El alcalde C. Randall Poopenmeyer (con la voz de David Herman ) es el alcalde de Nueva Nueva York. A menudo se le representa como un político corrupto e incompetente. Su primera aparición fue en el episodio " Un gran trozo de basura " de la primera temporada. A lo largo de las temporadas posteriores, se le ve manteniendo una relación amorosa bastante pública con la Reina de Yonkers.

El oficial Smith, más conocido como Smitty (con la voz de Billy West ), es un policía que trabaja en pareja con URL en Nueva Nueva York. A veces se le ve con una porra que parece un sable de luz . Ambos suelen usar fuerza excesiva en situaciones no violentas.

En " Bender Gets Made ", afirmó que se hizo policía porque su padre era dueño de un restaurante, y los frecuentes clientes que se iban sin pagar le impedían expandirse a nivel regional. Smitty se retira en " Law and Oracle ", pero regresa unos episodios después en " Cold Warriors ". En "A Tale of Two Santas", Smitty indicó que se hacía pasar por policía tras ser despedido del Departamento de Policía de Nueva Nueva York, diciendo que capturar al Papá Noel Robot (en realidad, Bender, quien había asumido el papel) le reportaría una "jugosa recontratación en la fuerza policial".

El oficial URL (pronunciado Earl) (con la voz de John DiMaggio en las temporadas 1 a 7, Kevin Michael Richardson en las temporadas 8 hasta la actualidad) es un policía robot que trabaja junto a Smitty. Ambos suelen usar fuerza excesiva en situaciones pacíficas y aprovechan diversas funciones integradas en URL, como una sirena, un megáfono y una impresora de infracciones. También aparece en la parodia de Cops llamada Cop Department . Su frase característica es "Aww, yeah" y otras frases ocasionales que se escucharon anteriormente en las películas de blaxploitation de la década de 1970. En " Law and Oracle ", URL se convierte en el compañero de Fry después de que este se une a la policía.

Petunia (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is an elderly woman who wears a revealing pink dress and uses a lot of make-up. She is a chain-smoker and a gambler. In the episode "Put Your Head on My Shoulders", Bender sets her up on a Valentine's Day date with Fry after setting up a dating agency. She rejects Fry after learning he does not have a body and is merely a head attached to Amy. Petunia states she can do better than a slot-player when Fry reveals he controls only one arm. Petunia later joins the Feministas in Into the Wild Green Yonder. She has children and used to live in a house with wheels.

Sal (voiced by John DiMaggio) is a surly, overweight, blue-collar worker with a thick Bronx accent. His first appearance is as a janitor on the Moon in "The Series Has Landed", servicing the machines in the amusement park. He has appeared many times since, always employed in a tedious job that he does not perform well. He is also seen to have a painting tattooed on his stomach (in "The Cryonic Woman") and comments that he is "on loan from the Louvre". His trademark is to add an "s" to many words that do not need it: "He's busteds. Gets hims outta heres!" At one point in "The Lost Adventure", it is implied that it is intentional, when he says "I gots an idea. I means, I gots an ideas." David X. Cohen said in a commentary that the writers debate whether Sal frequently changes jobs or has been cloned many times. He was also featured in Bender's Game as the five-time winner of a demolition derby. After losing the derby, he promises to "changes" his life.

Scoop Chang (voiced by David Herman in seasons 2-4, Maurice LaMarche in seasons 5-7, Feodor Chin in season 8) is a recurring newspaper reporter often seen at press conferences. The news organization he is associated with and position at that organization changes as a running gag. He is initially introduced as a reporter for the Beijing Bugle. Throughout Scoop's later appearances, he has been a New New York Times Online podcast blog comments editor, a contributor to Fox Quote-Unquote "News", and an editor for the New New York Times crossword smartwatch edition.

Tinny Tim (con la voz de Tress MacNeille ) es un robot huérfano con un brazo que usa una muleta y una pierna acortada, una referencia a Tiny Tim en "Cuento de Navidad " de Charles Dickens . Habla con acento inglés y está programado para mendigar, vender refrescos y escribir con letras curiosas al revés en carteles. Un chiste recurrente es que siempre sufre algún tipo de maltrato, como que Bender lo haga tropezar, que el Crushinator lo atropelle o que le arranquen la muleta de una patada. Aparece con la tripulación de Planet Express en ambas Navidades y parece ser amigo de Dwight y Cubert. En los subtítulos de " Bender no debería salir en la televisión ", se le llama "Tiny Tim-Bot".

Boxy es un robot rudimentario que solo puede comunicarse mediante pitidos . Se le ve frecuentemente en compañía de Calculon , y desempeñó el papel de su hermanastro en la telenovela All My Circuits, donde sus objeciones suenan como si estuviera retrocediendo. Su sonido es producido por un sintetizador. ^{[ 59 ]}

Los babosas cerebrales son alienígenas pequeños, tuertos y vagamente parecidos a babosas que se adhieren a las cabezas de seres conscientes para controlarlos. Aparentemente, los babosas cerebrales usan esto como método para atrapar más "presas", ya que los seres bajo su control se ven impulsados ​​por el deseo de colocar babosas cerebrales en otros seres. Se insinúa que el huésped bajo el control de la babosa cerebral conserva la conciencia de su condición, a la que Hermes se refería como una "pesadilla". La babosa cerebral puede verse en numerosos episodios, normalmente adherida a Hermes . Durante un breve tiempo, Fry tuvo una adherida, pero según el profesor, "murió de hambre". ^{[ 60 ]}

Los Cerebros (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) son una raza de cerebros telepáticos voladores que desean recolectar todos los datos del universo y aniquilar a todos los demás seres inteligentes, ya que el mero hecho de pensar les causa un gran dolor. Son capaces de usar "campos de estupefacción" para volver a todos los seres inteligentes de un planeta demasiado estúpidos para resistirlos. Esto les permite recolectar todo el conocimiento del planeta y destruirlo. Sus principales enemigos son los Nibblonianos, quienes envían a Nibbler en una misión para encontrar a Fry , el único ser resistente a los Cerebros. Fry carece de la onda cerebral delta , debido a que él mismo es su abuelo, por lo que puede repeler a los Cerebros cuando atacan la Tierra. Posteriormente, Fry envía a los Cerebros y su estación espacial, la Infosfera, a otra dimensión con una bomba que le dieron los Nibblonianos.

El Orfanato de Seguridad Mínima de Cookieville alberga a un gran número de huérfanos, entre ellos Leela durante su infancia. Los huérfanos suelen sufrir condiciones duras y diversos reveses. Está dirigido por el Sr. Vogel (con la voz de David Herman ), quien cuida de los huérfanos y lleva todos los registros; aparentemente es un burócrata de grado 135 que no ha sido ascendido desde el nacimiento de Leela. Tres huérfanos, Albert (con la voz de Kath Soucie ), Nina (con la voz de Kath Soucie ) y Sally (con la voz de Nicole St. John), aparecen con mayor frecuencia. Sally tiene una tercera oreja en la frente, por la que los demás huérfanos se burlan de ella. También afirma tener cola . Doce de los huérfanos fueron adoptados brevemente y luego devueltos por Bender —quien los adoptó solo por los cheques del fondo gubernamental— en " Las Reglas de la Casa Cibernética ".

La Crushinator (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) es la hija robot de un granjero robot en la luna. Se la estereotipa como una belleza sureña y representa a la luna de la Tierra en el concurso de Miss Universo. Aparece por primera vez en " The Series Has Landed " y también aparece en los episodios " Lesser of Two Evils ", " Crimes Of The Hot ", " Mother's Day " y " The Silence of the Clamps ". Aparece brevemente en segundo plano en Into the Wild Green Yonder . A diferencia de sus hermanas, la Crushinator es más parecida a una máquina y tiene una voz masculina. También tiene dos coletas metálicas naranjas que sobresalen de su cabeza y puede transformarse en un coche.

El padre Changstein-El-Gamal (voz de David Herman ) es un sacerdote de la Primera Iglesia Amalgamada, una mezcla de muchas religiones del siglo XX. ^{[ 61 ]} Lleva un bindi en la frente ( hinduismo ), una mitra y un cuello clerical ( catolicismo ) con un símbolo taijitu (o yin-yang ) en la punta ( taoísmo ), payot (judaísmo), una envoltura naranja ( budismo ) con una bufanda sobre el hombro adornada con estrellas y lunas ( espiritismo ). En Bender's Big Score , usa las frases "muy querido" en lugar de "muy amado" y "Nos reunimos aquí hoy ante uno o más dioses, o menos..." cuando oficia una boda.

Flexo (voiced by John DiMaggio) is a bending robot who looks and sounds almost exactly like Bender with the exception of having a small triangular metal goatee, a reference to the Star Trekmirror universe. Flexo first meets and befriends Bender in "Lesser of Two Evils". Fry believes Flexo to be an "evil twin" of Bender, though it turns out that Flexo attempts to stop Bender from stealing the expensive crown from the Miss Universe pageant. Flexo is mistaken for Bender and is arrested for that crime. Critics have called Flexo's appearance in this episode one of the "Great Moments" in Futurama.^[62] He returns in "Bendless Love" in which Bender briefly dates Flexo's ex-wife, Anglelyne, and impersonates Flexo. Flexo is targeted by the Robot Mafia because of this. Eventually, he reunites with Anglelyne. He makes a cameo appearance in Into The Wild Green Yonder along with Anglelyne as members of the audience seeing the Encyclopod being "born".

He makes another brief appearance in "Attack of the Killer App" in a garbage bin, where he is found by Bender and tells him that bending robots are now obsolete, though he is ignored. His signature character trait is the way he says something, usually a mild insult, and then immediately retracts it, laughing and saying some variation of "Naw, I'm just kidding... you're all right!" This, apparently, is also reversed when referring to situations or actions that cause him frustration or anger, such as Bender shoving him in one episode, with Flexo responding by saying, "Thanks! I appreciated that... Naw I'm kidding. That was quite annoying."

The Grand Midwife (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is an Amphibosian who first appears in the fourth-season episode "Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch". She is also known as the Grand Priestess, the Grand Lunch Lady, the Grand Funeral Director, and the Grand Butterfly Curator, as she holds these various titles and positions. She appears as an aged and wizened member of the Amphibosian race, appearing at and overseeing key functions throughout Amphibios 9, including Kif's birthing ceremony, Kif and Amy's wedding and Kif's funeral. She is often direct and inflexible in her ways and acts in a melodramatic fashion.

Guenter (voiced by Tress MacNeille, vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) is an intelligent monkey experiment made by Professor Farnsworth. His intelligence comes from his small hat which uses sunspots to create cognitive radiation. If he is not wearing the hat, he acts like a normal monkey. His first appearance was in the episode "Mars University" in which the Professor enrolls him at the university where he becomes Fry's roommate. Guenter later appears in the episode, "Fry and Leela's Big Fling", where he shows Amy Wong, Bender and Zoidberg around the planet Simian 7. Guenter is seen in other episodes in the background, and crowds.

The Gypsy-Bot (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is a carnival fortune-telling robot. In "Godfellas" the gypsy-bot hints that she does not actually have psychic powers; after Fry asks her a question, she replies, "What am I, psychic?". The gypsy-bot appears earlier in "The Honking", telling Bender he is a werecar; and in "Ghost in the Machines", performing a séance in which Bender's ghost possesses her and causes her head to explode.

The headless body of Spiro Agnew (vocal effects provided by Maurice LaMarche) is Nixon's vice-president of Earth. Though he is headless, Agnew can still make growling noises. In "Into the Wild Green Yonder" Agnew is accidentally killed by the "eco-feministas" – which Leela has joined – when a golf cart runs over him. However, he is cloned, which leads Nixon to call him the "Headless Clone of Agnew".

Horrible Gelatinous "H.G." Blob (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) is a three-eyed, green, translucent, ill-tempered alien. He first appeared in the season one episode "The Series Has Landed" in a commercial the Professor made for Planet Express. He contemptuously refers to humanoids as "solids" and ridicules their one-way digestive system. In "The Route of All Evil", the Horrible Gelatinous Blob has a son named Brett Blob, who regularly bullies Cubert and Dwight. In Futurama: Bender's Big Score he, or someone of his species, appears on the twenty dollar bill. In "Proposition Infinity", he, or someone of his species, was shown to be in an "interplanetary" relationship with a human woman.

Judge Ron Whitey (voiced by Billy West) is a judge and a member of the upperclass of Earth's elite. He was responsible for overcrowding in human mental asylums after ruling that poverty was a mental illness.

Kwanzaabot (voiced by Coolio) and Chanukah Zombie (voiced by Mark Hamill) are Robot Santa's Kwanzaa and Hanukkah analogues. Precisely what role they play on their respective holidays is unknown. In the episode "A Tale of Two Santas", Kwanzaabot mentions he has been distributing books titled "What the Hell is Kwanzaa?" for 647 years, with little effect. Kwanzaabot and Chanukah Zombie are evidently friendly with Robot Santa, as he calls them for support in Bender's Big Score, and Kwanzaabot invites Bender to join him and the Chanukah Zombie at the B'nai B'rith in "A Tale of Two Santas".

From his first appearance, Kwanzaabot has been voiced by rapper Coolio. Although Chanukah Zombie had been mentioned, he did not appear onscreen until Bender's Big Score, in which he is voiced by Mark Hamill and in a reference to Hamill's famous role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, pilots a Jewish themed TIE Fighter decorated with Stars of David on its solar arrays with a Menorah standing on its core.

Malfunctioning Eddie (voiced by David Herman) is a robot that runs a hovercar dealership. His character refers to the real life electronics chain Crazy Eddie, and its mascot of the same name. It turned out that Malfunctioning Eddie's prices were so low that he really was insane. He had an exploding-problem associated with surprise in "Insane in the Mainframe".

Michelle Jenkins (con la voz de Kath Soucie en " Space Pilot 3000 " y de Sarah Silverman en el resto de sus apariciones) es la exnovia intermitente de Fry de los siglos XX y XXXI. Lo deja poco antes de que lo congelen en Nochevieja por un hombre llamado Constantine (llamado Charles en " The Cryonic Woman "), con quien luego se casa. Finalmente se separan y ella decide congelarse para intentarlo de nuevo en un futuro lejano. Despierta en el año 3002, se reencuentra con Fry y retoma su relación con él. No logra adaptarse a la vida del siglo XXXI a la que Fry se ha acostumbrado, así que le pide que se congele con ella durante otros mil años. Tras descubrir que el mundo postapocalíptico en el que despiertan no es Nueva Nueva York en el año 4002, sino Los Ángeles en el año 3002, este plan fracasa, al igual que la relación reavivada, por lo que Fry la abandona. Posteriormente se la ve en una limusina con Pauly Shore, quien acaba de ser descongelado , y más tarde se la ve tomándole la mano en " Proposition Infinity ".

En Bender's Big Score , se revela que Michelle había estado congelada aproximadamente 736 años más de lo que ella pretendía, como resultado de que el duplicado temporal de Fry usara su criotubo para regresar al futuro y estar con Leela. Esto, junto con el hecho de que Fry le había roto accidentalmente parte del cabello a Michelle al entrar en su criotubo, no se mencionó ni se mostró en las apariciones anteriores de Michelle. Ella fue una de las muchas personas vistas en la cita con Yivo en The Beast With a Billion Backs .

Los niblonianos son una raza ancestral que surgió 17 años antes del Big Bang. Poseen una longevidad extrema y un apetito voraz, y excretan materia oscura extremadamente densa y potente. A pesar de su naturaleza, otros seres encuentran su pequeña estatura sumamente adorable. Su archienemigo son los Engendros Cerebrales, y creen que Fry es el único capaz de detenerlos debido a su falta de la onda cerebral Delta .

Los principales niblonianos de la serie son:

• Nibbler (con la voz de Frank Welker )
• Ken (con la voz de Billy West )
• Fiona (con la voz de Tress MacNeille )

Nine (voiced by David Herman) is a man who wears a white gown with a large number 9 on it. He is both a conspiracy theorist and a conspirator. He is a cameo character appearing in the first and second production seasons of Futurama.^[63] He reappeared in Bender's Big Score and Into the Wild Green Yonder, where it was revealed he was the Grand Curator of the Legion of Mad Fellows. When Nine became grand curator is unknown, but the audio commentary track for Into the Wild Green Yonder hints that he was in the Legion prior to the year 3000. As grand curator (which is essentially a knowledgeable leader) of the Legion, he becomes the story teller for Philip J. Fry's mission to possibly end the epic long battle between two ancient races, as they by 3009 have noticed that the Chi have been re-emerging. It is later revealed in "Murder On the Planet Express" that he operates a discount spy store called For Your Eyes Mainly. He wears aluminum foil on his head to avoid other people's brain waves affecting him.

Mr. Panucci (voiced by John DiMaggio) is the surly Italian-American owner of Panucci's Pizza where Fry worked before getting frozen. Although in the first episode it appears that he does not like Fry that much, it is shown in later episodes that he had a strong friendship with and acted as a father figure to Fry. It is revealed in Bender's Big Score that he likes Fry because Fry's life is so horrible it helps Panucci feel better about himself. Panucci is noticeably upset when Fry goes missing and he takes responsibility for Fry's pet dog Seymour.

In Bender's Big Score, Fry creates a time paradox by going back in time and living out his old life and thus continues working at Panucci's Pizza. Shortly after he arrives, Fry asks Panucci if he can live in Panucci's upstairs storeroom, which Panucci allows.

Pazuzu (voiced by David Herman) is a gargoyle who Professor Farnsworth owned and put through college. He has a French accent and a son. He initially appears in "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles", where he escapes from the Professor. He returns at the end of the episode to rescue the Professor and "earn [his] freedom."

He later appears in Beast With a Billion Backs, rescuing the Professor and Wernstrom from prison and informing the Professor that he has one wish left.

Randy Munchnik (voiced by John DiMaggio) is a stereotypically gay man dressed in pink, who speaks in an effeminate voice. Originally, he is depicted with blond hair, but sometimes appears with brown hair.

John DiMaggio says he is his favorite character to voice. The original design for Randy was very different. He was originally an old man in a mob, with his name in the script for "I, Roommate" literally "Man in Mob". DiMaggio changed the voice and therefore the character.^[64]

Reverend Lionel Preacherbot (voiced by Phil LaMarr) is a preacher at the Temple of Robotology. He presides over weddings and funerals of robots and humans. His speech patterns, accent, and mannerisms are modeled on those of stereotypical African-American Evangelical preachers (specifically, Black churches).^[65]

In the episode "Hell is Other Robots" (S01E09), Preacherbot encourages Bender to give up his addiction to recreational electricity in favour of the Church of Robotology, to which Bender replies; "Do I preach to you while you're laying stoned in the gutter?". In "Proposition Infinity", it is heavily implied that he may be a closeted robosexual. During the Season 6 episode "Ghost in the Machines", Preacherbot performs an exorcism on the Planet Express headquarters to drive off Bender's ghost, which has begun to possess various machinery in an attempt to kill Fry.

Sewer mutants are humans mutated by years of pollution and radioactive waste poured into the sewers under New New York. Because they are considered genetically inferior they were forbidden by law to travel to the surface without special permission (until the events of "The Mutants Are Revolting"), so they reside in a community made out of objects flushed down toilets.

Besides Turanga Leela, Turanga Morris, and Turanga Munda, among the known mutants in the series are:

• Dwayne (voiced by David Herman) - A mutant with two noses and a large forehead.
• Raoul (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - The "Supreme Mutant", the democratically elected leader of the sewer mutants. His most notable mutation is a third arm which in his first appearance had grown in place of his right ear but above it in later appearances.
• Vyolet (voiced by Tress MacNeille) - A chain-smoking mutant with gills and a pig nose. She seems to be romantically involved with Raoul.

Don Cunningham (voiced by Maurice LaMarche in most episodes, Billy West in "The Farnsworth Parabox") serves as the series' occasional narrator and transition announcer. He was initially heard in the "Anthology of Interest" episodes dramatically telling the audience to stay tuned for more "Tales of Interest!" He also occasionally narrates other episodes such as "The Why of Fry" and narrated the entirety of the podcast episode "Radiorama", where his name is revealed, and also appears in the same episode as a character as the announcer of the podcast episode of "All My Circuits". He physically appears for the first time in "Beauty and the Bot" as the announcer for a buggalo fight.

Dr. Lauren Cahill (voiced by Tress MacNeille) is a doctor who works at the Head Museum. She exhibits the stereotypes of a blonde bimbo, such as having blonde hair, a breathy voice, a large bosom, and an hourglass figure, but she is actually quite educated. In Bender's Big Score, she helped a decapitated Hermes get into a jar. In "All the Presidents' Heads", it is revealed she is not actually uptight and joins the Planet Express crew's party with the Presidents' heads. She is also part of a book club as seen in "One is Silicon and the Other Gold", which is where her first name was revealed.

The former vice-president (voiced by himself) appears as a head in a jar during most of his appearances and also appears with his body during scenes involving Fry's time period. He is First Emperor of the Moon and has "ridden the mighty moon worm".^[66] He lives in an elaborate jar; the base is colored silver-white, and possesses several hologram projectors, two small rockets for mobility, a pair of lasers, and is backed with the top of a cape. He plays a role in Futurama: Bender's Big Score,^[67] where he appears in multiple scenes that take place in the past and during the space battle in the future. During one of these scenes, Gore was shown to have won the 2000 Presidential Election, but Bender accidentally destroys the ballots in favor of Gore when hunting for Fry. During the Clinton presidency he is shown to have led the Vice Presidential Action Rangers, a group tasked by the US Constitution to preserve the space-time continuum.

El verdadero Gore ha dicho que Futurama es su programa favorito. Su hija, Kristin Gore , fue guionista del programa en sus últimas temporadas. ^{[ 66 ] [ 68 ]} Gore también prestó su voz a la versión animada de sí mismo en "Un mensaje aterrador de Al Gore", el video promocional de Una verdad incómoda junto con John DiMaggio , la voz de Bender , y Billy West , el narrador. ^{[ 69 ]}

Nye (con su propia voz) apareció por primera vez junto a Neil deGrasse Tyson en el anuncio del juego móvil freemium Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow , luego en el episodio " Rage Against the Vaccine " de la temporada 8, donde habla sobre la pandemia de Explovid-23, y en el episodio " Attack of the Clothes " de la temporada 9 como el anfitrión de una convención científica a la que asiste el profesor Farnsworth. ^{[ 70 ]}

La cabeza cortada de Cara Delevingne (con su propia voz) es utilizada por el Profesor Farnsworth en el episodio " Attack of the Clothes " de la temporada 9 para su monstruo de Frankenstein con temática de moda. ^{[ 71 ]}

Delevigne también presta su voz al Robot de Maquillaje en el episodio " The Impossible Stream " de la temporada 8, así como a otros personajes secundarios de esta temporada.

Stephen Hawking (con su propia voz) hizo una aparición especial en el episodio " Antología de interés I " como miembro de los Vice Presidential Action Rangers (VPAR), quienes custodian el continuo espacio-tiempo . Junto con Hawking, a finales del siglo XX, se encuentran Al Gore , Nichelle Nichols , Gary Gygax y su becario de verano, Deep Blue . Su primera aparición es como cliente en la pizzería donde Fry cree erróneamente que él inventó la gravedad, por lo que Hawking se atribuye el mérito ("Sí, claro. ¿Por qué no?"). Tras enterarse de la experiencia interdimensional de Fry, organiza su secuestro por parte de los VPAR.

Hawking also appears in The Beast with a Billion Backs as his own head in a flying jar, leading a scientific convention organized to study and discuss a tear in the universe. He says that despite writing a book about it, he has no idea what it is, although he has already cashed the check he got for writing it. Apparently he has the ability to shoot lasers that stun people from his eyes; he himself is surprised, remarking, "I didn't know I could do that" after stunning Professor Farnsworth and Professor Wernstrom. He also makes a brief appearance during the "Future Challenge 3000" segment in "Reincarnation".

Due to a debilitating, long-term illness, Hawking was unable to speak with his own larynx, but his computer-assisted speech device was a trademark voice in popular culture.^[72]

Lars Fillmore (voiced by Billy West) is a technician at the Head Museum in Bender's Big Score, where he met Leela and briefly dated her. He was about to marry Leela, until he discovered that a paradox can not be in the normal time line, and decided to cancel the wedding, because he was really a paradox-duplicate of Fry created when the original Fry who had travelled back to 2000 went back a second time to eat a pizza, the original Fry who went back for the pizza freezing himself after a close call with a brainwashed Bender while the one who never did that moved into an apartment above the pizzeria where he worked. He lived there for twelve years, during which he spent time with his family and befriended the narwhal Leelu, until an assassination attempt by another brainwashed Bender burned away his hair and damaged his larynx. After the war with the scammers was over, Nudar tried to force Lars to reveal his version of the time-travel code, but Lars sacrificed himself to release another frozen Bender set to self-destruct, killing himself and Nudar. In "All the Presidents' Heads", Dr. Cahill briefly mistakenly calls Fry, who has taken a night job as a security guard at the Head Museum, "Lars", due to his resemblance.

Los Estafadores Alienígenas Nudistas son los principales antagonistas de Bender's Big Score . Son un grupo formado por el líder Nudar (con la voz de David Herman ) y sus hermanos Fleb (con la voz de Frank Welker ) y Schlump (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ). Buscan apoderarse de la Tierra obteniendo la mayor cantidad de información posible de los humanos, además de apoderarse de todos los objetos valiosos del planeta gracias al código de viaje en el tiempo. Después de tomar el control de la Tierra, su flota de Estrellas de la Muerte de oro macizo fue destruida por las naves restantes de la Tierra en un asalto liderado por Leela y coordinado por Hermes. Nudar escapó de la destrucción, pero fue asesinado por el sacrificio de Lars Fillmore, un duplicado de Fry de una paradoja temporal.

Leelu (con la voz de Maurice LaMarche ) es una rara narval hembra de un solo diente con la que el Fry Paradox entabló amistad en Bender's Big Score durante los años que pasó en el pasado. Con el paso del tiempo, su relación floreció y se convirtieron en mejores amigos. El Fry Paradox se entristeció profundamente al saber que Leelu sería liberada en la naturaleza. Una vez liberada, Leelu se enamoró de un narval macho de color naranja.

Yivo (con la voz de David Cross ) es un ser extraterrestre sensible de otro universo que aparece en La Bestia de los Mil Millones de Espaldas . Se comunicaba con el universo "gamma" a través del agujero espacio-temporal, usando sus tentáculos, que inicialmente utilizaba para aparearse con humanos. Inicia una "relación romántica" con los habitantes del otro universo, pero incluso después de que el universo aceptara mudarse con Yivo, este "rompió" con el universo cuando Fry envió una carta a través de la grieta a Bender, ya que la electromateria de la que estaba hecha se usó para producir un arma contra él.

Colleen O'Hallahan (con la voz de Brittany Murphy ) es la jefa de policía y novia de Fry en El monstruo de mil millones de espaldas . Poliamorosa , vivía con otros cuatro hombres, lo que Fry no pudo soportar y provocó que rompiera con ella. Sin embargo, después de que Yivo expulsara a los habitantes del universo por el contacto de Fry con Bender, Colleen continúa su relación con Yivo, permaneciendo en el universo alternativo tras el sellado de la grieta dimensional.

El Oscuro (con la voz de Phil LaMarr ) es el principal antagonista de Into the Wild Green Yonder . Es una criatura que pretende acabar con el universo y el último de su especie. Hacia el final de la película se descubre que en realidad es la sanguijuela del desierto que vivía en Marte y que Leela acogió como mascota para evitar su muerte. Finalmente, es derrotado y devorado por Zoidberg.
