Best minor recurring character in Futurama?

Nothing complicated here- Fans of the series will know there’s the main cast, then there’s a lot of regular supporting characters. (Mom, Calculon, Lrrrr, and so on), and then there’s recurring minor characters who don’t have a great deal of screen time but many of whom are still hilarious.

So, who’s your favourite minor recurring character in Futurama? Personally, I’d have to say Morbo, with Hedonism Bot a very close second.

I’m still waiting for an opportunity to begin an interview with “MORBO DEMANDS AN ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS!:smiley:

WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!

I <3 Morbo!

Zap Branigan, no question.

What do I win?

All glory to the Hypnotoad.

I suspect the OP would say nothing, as Zapp Branigan probably qualifies as a regular supporting character, not a few-seconds-here-and-there character a la Morbo.

He is not a regular.

Amy’s parents are pretty good. And for the bestest/leastest/most tear jerking appearance…Fry’s dog from yesteryear :frowning:

Scruffy

Top 3 - Morbo, Scruffy, and Calculon.

I’ve never seen you before.

Frances Clampowski…
The Crushinator

HedonismBot! I apologize for nothing!

Another vote for Hedonism Bot

After the explosion that destroyed his home that was having his orgiastic party:

“Everywhere I looked, there were piles of bodies. And then the explosion struck.” [Begins to laugh, but it crumbles into uncontrollable sobbing.]

Absolutely Scruffy! How is this even in question! :smiley:

Zapp Brannigan is literally the best animated character of all time, so if you count him as “minor” or “recurring” then it’s definitely him.

If he’s out, then Scruffy and Hedonismbot come to mind first. I’m also a big fan of President Nixon.

Morbo is alright but he doesn’t do it for me like the others.

Oh how could I forget the Robot Devil? He’s fantastic!!!

We named one of our cats Flo’Lrrr.

“I trust the orgy pit has been scraped and buttered.”

What? No love for Santa Claus?

Precisely. Zap’s had a significant role in numerous episodes over the course of the series (although he’s hardly been in series six at all), whereas characters like Morbo, Hedonism Bot, Scruffy, Elzar, Dr Wernstrom, and the Hypnotoad are typically only on screen for a short time.

Having said that, yes, Zap is an awesome character. :slight_smile:
