| 11 | |
| 12 | Elzar is a galactically famous chef and TV host, and a hero to the tragically taste bud-free Bender. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Like all Neptunians, he's purple. |
| 15 | * BrokenPedestal: Bender always admired Elzar's cooking and wanted to be a chef like him. However, once he sees him as the {{jerkass}} he really is after he refuses to give him a job, he changes his mind. |
| 16 | * {{Jerkass}}: Frequently. For example, after accidentally blinding Leela because of Bender, he gives the entire crew a meal... and at the end it turns out he's charging them for it. [[ExactWords Never said it would be free.]] |
| 17 | * JerkassHasAPoint: When Bender challenges him for a cook-off, he states that he's doing it to avenge his fallen mentor, Helmut Spargle. Elzar rightly points out that as Spargle died after his stomach exploded eating food Bender prepared for him, Bender's obviously far more responsible for his teacher's demise than Elzar. |
| 18 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: Must be handy for a chef to have four arms. |
| 19 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Has Emeril Lagasse's Massachusetts accent and similar catchphrases. |
| 20 | * PigMan: His nose is distinctly snout-like, as are those of the rest of his alien race (Neptunians). |
| 21 | * SupremeChef: He's such a good cook that he can wring compliments out of Morbo, apparently gets away with using slightly rotten fish in his jambalaya, and makes a Sterno niçoise that even Fry enjoys, once it's stopped burning his tongue. |

| 32 | * AerithAndBob: His name is Horrible Gelatinous Blob. His son is named Brett. |
| 33 | * BlobMonster: That's pretty much all there is to say about him. |
| 34 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: His full name is literally "Horrible Gelatinous Blob". |
| 35 | * FunWithAcronyms: "Horrible Gelatinous Blob" is mostly abbreviated to "H.G. Blob", which may be a reference to high concept sci-fi writer, H.G. Wells. |
| 36 | * GelatinousEncasement: Those eaten by H.G. are suspended within his mass. |
| 37 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As stated below, H.G. expresses sincere regret for accosting Farnsworth and Hermes, admitting that just because he's stressed from work and parenting is no excuse for violence and that doing so sets a poor example for his son, who he's trying to raise properly. |
| 38 | * {{Jerkass}}: Seems to have a perpetually short temper. In "The Route of All Evil", he claims it's because of stress at work and apologises sincerely to Farnsworth and Hermes for beating them up. |
| 39 | * SicklyGreenGlow: H.G. Blob is made out of disgusting green slime. |

| 51 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: She's got a rather tanned complexion, but it's unknown if this is because of her race or if she's just very tan. |
| 52 | * CharacterCatchphrase: She refers to pretty much every noun as either a [[BuffySpeak "whatchamacallit" or a "kajigger"]]. |
| 53 | * CovertPervert: Season 2's "Brannigan Begin Again" shows her prowling for sex in the red light district; she selects Kif (over Zapp) and they drive away in her limo. |
| 54 | * CrazyCatLady: As a stock-owner at Planet Express, she demands the floor at a stockholder meeting solely to demand everyone come to her apartment to snuggle her cat. Professor Farnsworth objects on the ground of it being smelly and ugly. |
| 55 | * EvilDebtCollector: She works this job at Dr. Mbutu Apartments. |

| 68 | * BeneathTheMask: "We're all scared, it's the human condition. Why do you thinks I puts on this tough guy facade?!" |
| 69 | * ConstructionCatcalls: Sal makes these to Leela in "Parasites Lost"; once from a gas station and another from a construction site. A newly-empowered Fry beats the crap out of him for this on the second occasion. |
| 70 | * FatBastard: He's obese and far from being well-mannered or nice. |
| 71 | * HiddenDepths: He showcases a surprisingly philosophical side in "The Honking", as shown in his quote in BeneathTheMask. |
| 72 | * LazyBum: Right there in his first appearance. |
| 73 | -->'''Sal:''' I'd kick your ass if I wasn't so lazy.\ |

| 105 | ---- |
| 106 | * AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: He is a blue chicken. |
| 107 | * BunnyEarsLawyer: Despite normally doing a horrible job at being a lawyer, he's managed to successfully argue for Planet Express in several cases (and has even represented Earth itself in some instances); he once manages to get Bender five hours of community service for causing a serious tanker crash on Pluto while he himself was on trial for incompetence. When asked to provide evidence to support Bender and Fry's insanity plea, he points to the fact that ''[[SelfDeprecation they chose him as their lawyer]]''. And it ''works''. |

| 123 | * CampGay: Acts like an effeminate, flamboyant homosexual stereotype. |
| 124 | * InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Randy is very feminine and even works as a jewelry salesman. He also hosts a tap competition. |
| 125 | * TheyCalledMeMad: In "Crimes of the Hot", he notes that people called him crazy for building a replica of Noah's ark. His partner Soupy promptly responds that he ''is'' crazy for filling it with same-sex animal pairs. |
| 126 | --> '''Randy:''' Hey, there are parts of the Bible I like and parts I don't like! |

| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Much like Fry and Bender, there's a lot of subtext to their interactions. Apparently their chief has warned them about being too focused on hugging on another on duty. |
| 139 | -->'''URL:''' ''(on Bender)'' He's clean. Smells nice, too. |
| 140 | -->'''Smitty:''' Better than me? |

| 142 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Awww yeah." for URL. Changes to "In-dubitably" (exact same stress and meter) in an AlternateUniverse where everything's [[IAmVeryBritish British]]. |
| 143 | * CorruptCop: A good number of times, they can be easily bribed. |
| 144 | * ADayInTheLimelight: URL gets a lot of focus when Smitty retires and Fry becomes a cop. |
| 145 | * TheDitz: Smitty is very clearly the lesser intellect of the two. |
| 146 | * LaserBlade: Subverted in that they act just like regular police batons. |
| 147 | * TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw: Right from the get-go, they're generally shown to be pretty incompetent (responding to a call for back-up by declaring they'd arrive in five minutes, when they were quite literally right next to them). However, when they're called upon to arrest one of the Planet Express crew, they're usually pretty successful. |
| 148 | * MirrorCharacter: To Fry and Bender, respectively. They're both human-robot duos, and the human is voiced by Creator/BillyWest while the robot was initially voiced by Creator/JohnDiMaggio before being voiced instead by Creator/KevinMichaelRichardson as of the Hulu run. |
| 149 | * PaperThinDisguise: Their idea of being undercover is wearing suits over their cop outfits, reading "Non-Cop News". Subverted, in that the person they're tailing sees right through it. |
| 150 | * PoliceBrutality: From the first episode, they've defaulted to using ridiculous levels of violence on people for very poor reasons. |
| 151 | -->'''Smitty''': He's picking his nose, get him! |

| 166 | * {{Expy}}: Of Patches from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. |
| 167 | * ExtraExtraReadAllAboutIt: Tinny Tim sells newspapers, among other jobs. |
| 168 | * HeartwarmingOrphan: A sad little orphan boy, who the audience is supposed to sympathize with. |
| 169 | * KickTheDog: Tinny Tim is usually kicked around by Bender for no apparent reason. The cruelest would be in "Assie Come Home", where Bender reclaims his legs by sawing them off of Tinny Tim after he had received them as transplants and ''then'' takes the wheeled cart the boy had to use to move without legs. |
| 170 | * PauperPatches: Tinny Tim wears a bunch of raggedy old clothes and one of his arms is replaced with a wooden crutch. |
| 171 | * ThePollyanna: Despite being dirt poor and no matter how much horrible things happen to him, Tinny Tim is always exuberantly happy and never sheds a single tear. Some would say he actually ''likes'' when tragedy befalls him. |
| 172 | -->'''Tim''': You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir. Bravo! |

| 199 | Fry's unfaithful, on-and-off ex-girlfriend from his pre-freezing days in the 20th-century. |
| 200 | ---- |
| 201 | * ADayInTheLimelight: "The Cryonic Woman" brings her to the future and shines a spotlight on her relationship with Fry. |
| 202 | * FalseTeethTomfoolery: According to "Game of Tones", she apparently wears dentures. |
| 203 | * FirstGirlWins: Averted. She was (technically) Fry's first love interest when the series started but they never stuck together in the end. [[spoiler:Instead, Fry ends up with Leela.]] |
| 204 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: In contrast to [[BornInTheWrongCentury Fry]], Michelle feels extremely out of place in the 31st century and struggles to adjust to things Fry swiftly and readily accepts and embraces. In her debut, it drives her to freeze herself again in the hopes of getting away from it all. |
| 205 | * HateSink: Fry's family and friends in the 20th Century were initially portrayed as rather apathetic and rude towards him when they were shown in flashbacks. Later episodes humanized them to show his brother and parents did indeed care about him, and Fry tried to convince himself that his past life was awful so he wouldn't regret losing his family. The same cannot be said of Michelle, who is shown to be just as nasty and demanding in Fry's past as she is in his present. |
| 206 | * {{Jerkass}}: Extremely self-centered, demanding and ungrateful towards Fry, and has cheated on him on multiple occasions. She hasn't been too nice to her new boyfriend Constantine, either, as ''Bender's Big Score'' has her tell him to his face that his name is stupid. |
| 207 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: The comic book story "Planet Michelle" (issue 34) has Michelle being cloned several times, with some humor being derived from her clones being naked upon creation. The first clone is understandably not happy about her lack of clothes and is provided one of Amy's spare sweatsuits, with Fry claiming that Professor Farnsworth is blind, and Farnsworth goes along with it [[DirtyOldMan for obvious reasons]]. Numerous other clones created later in the story also cover up with Amy's sweatsuits (due to Amy's dry cleaning being onboard the Planet Express ship), but they still eventually run out, and later clones emerge from the ship in the buff, with Bender remarking that the later Michelle clones' nudity is an upside. |

| 217 | ---- |
| 218 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: It's implied he has a low attention span, especially if what he's watching isn't sufficiently decadent enough. |
| 219 | -->'''Hedonismbot''': Surgery? In an opera? How repulsively decadent! And just as I was beginning to lose interest! |
| 220 | * BigFun: He's a heavyset robot who wants nothing more than than to indulge and have fun in any way he can. |
| 221 | * CampGay: While he's in favor of pleasure of ''any'' kind, it's strongly implied that heterosexuality seems old-fashioned to him. |
| 222 | -->'''Hedonismbot''': A ''man?'' Writing an opera about a ''woman?'' Oh, sirrah! How delightfully absurd! |
| 223 | * ExtremeOmnisexual: Part and parcel of wild hedonism is no limit to what one is willing to get freaky with. |
| 224 | * GrapesOfLuxury: Doesn't leave home without 'em. |
| 225 | * TheHedonist: It's right there in his name. He dedicates his life to excessive hedonism, which may actually be his entire purpose in the first place. He even provides the Trope Image. |
| 226 | * IdleRich: He was built so that humans would not have to fill this essential role. It's not clear where he gets the funds for his oil-and-cream baths or frivolous one-night-only opera productions, but he seems able to afford it. It's revealed in one of the Comedy Central episodes that he's a senator. Presumably, that still pays pretty well. Oh, and he's [[MadeOGold made of solid gold]]. |
| 227 | * IRegretNothing: He does not regret his excessive decadence in the slightest, even when ''Bender'', of all of people, calls him out on it. |
| 228 | ->''I apologize for nothing!'' |
| 229 | * LargeHam: One of the reasons he became such a hit so quickly: he's the first to loudly announce that A) the pleasure has begun, B) pleasure is imminent, or C) this no longer amuses him. |
| 230 | * NiceGuy: Perhaps as a side-effect of his total hedonism, he's actually a very pleasant and affable guy; he never says a harsh word to anyone and seems free of prejudices. |
| 231 | * NonstandardCharacterDesign: Unlike most robots on the show, his pupils are round rather than square (though they're updated to square in the eighth season). Additionally, he's built into a lounging position on a metal recliner with his arms acting as the legs. |
| 232 | ** Did we mention that he's MadeOGold? |
| 233 | * NoodleImplements: Being as he is a hedonist. He seems to derive sexual pleasure from getting chocolate icing spread on his stomach during an opera. Or using butter in his orgy pits. Or having a human part stored...''somewhere''. |
| 234 | * {{Robosexual}}: Heavily implied to be in some sort of relationship with Jhambi, his human attendant. |
| 235 | * RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Pretty much the whole joke to his character is that somebody, somewhere, for some reason, built a robot for the purpose of eating grapes and wasting money. |
| 236 | * SleazyPolitician: He’s a senator that uses the taxpayers’ money to fund his hedonistic exploits. Downplayed in that he’s actually a pretty nice guy all things considered. |

Later on, the Planet Express crew can't even think of a good reason ''why'' they'd want Bender back. |
| 266 | * PrimAndProperBun: Wears one in her hair. |
| 267 | * ProperLady: Her basic archetype. |
| 268 | * TyrantTakesTheHelm: How her becoming Planet Express's new bureaucrat is portrayed. Everyone but Fry hates her, and he only likes her because they're doing it. |
| 269 | * UptightLovesWild: Turns out living in a ridiculously strict bureaucratic environment has made her see dirt and disorganization as something that's forbidden and mysterious, [[spoiler: causing her to fall for Fry, who's a huge lazy slob.]] |

| 274 | [[caption-width-right:344:''"When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all."'']] |
| 275 | ->'''Voiced by''': Creator/BillyWest\ |
| 276 | '''Debut''': "Godfellas" |
| 277 | |
| 278 | The Galactic Entity, otherwise known as the "God" space entity, is user-friendly and thinks in binary. |
| 279 | ---- |
| 280 | * AllLovingHero: States He feels compassion for all living things. |
| 281 | * BeingGodIsHard: After Bender found out during his own stint as a God, the Entity explains to him his own experience with the trope. He teaches Bender that as a God, one can't obviously do too much or else people become reliant on Him, nor too little as people lose faith. God must strike a difficult balance where if one does something right, people won't assume they've done anything at all. |
| 282 | * TheCameo: He makes a brief one in ''[[Recap/FuturamaM1BendersBigScore Bender's Big Score]]'', when He shows up in one scene to summon the Time Sphere. He also introduces "Reincarnation". |
| 283 | * CharacterCatchphrase: He calls the people He's interacting with "my good chum". |
| 284 | * {{God}}: Possibly. The episode leaves it intentionally vague as to whether or not He really is the Almighty, and it's implied that even He doesn't know. |
| 285 | * GodIsGood: He's a very friendly entity who admits to feeling compassion for all living things. |
| 286 | * GreaterScopeParagon: Invoked, of all things. In His words: "If you do it right, nobody will be sure you did anything at all". |
| 287 | * InstantExpert: When Bender asks if He speaks English, He responds with "I do now". |
| 288 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Whether He's the actual deity figure of their universe or just a very powerful being is kept ambiguous. Bender puts forth that He's "the remains of a computerized space probe that collided with God," which the Entity notes to be "probable." It's also ambiguous as to whether the Entity is letting on all He knows to Bender and the audience or is deliberately obfuscating to teach Bender a lesson on Godhood. The ending where he chuckles to Himself and repeats his signature quote points to Him really being the Almighty but won't shove it to anyone's face if not necessary. |
| 289 | * NoExceptYes: Possibly, as Bender theorizes that the Entity isn't God, but the remains of a space probe that collided with God, which could mean that God exists and is the Entity as the result of a fusion. The Entity replies that it's possible, but it's unclear whether He means this or is entertaining Bender's thoughts to help him think. |
| 290 | * NiceGuy: Has compassion for all life and gives Bender a pep talk when he's feeling down. |
| 291 | * TheOmniscient: Discussed and played with. He tells Bender that He can predict what people will do before they do it, but deviations from those predictions are unknown to Him. He also doesn't know where Earth is until a satellite signal from the planet makes contact with Him, and He doesn't know how to speak English until he hears it from Bender (He already knew how to speak binary, though). He also offhandedly mentions that he was watching Bender's efforts to be a god earlier in the episode. |
| 292 | -->'''God Entity:''' Yes, I saw. [[BlackComedy You were doing well until everyone died]]. |
| 293 | ** His signature quote and ability to set up the conclusion at the end of the episode also posits that He may have pretended to not be this trope for the sake of teaching Bender a lesson. |
| 294 | * ShoutOut: His origin as suggested by Bender would make him a CompositeCharacter of two different superpowered space probes in ''Franchise/StarTrek'', namely Nomad (who collided with an alien probe) and V'ger (who's identified by thinking in binary), albeit much nicer than either. |
| 295 | * StarfishAliens: He does not appear to have a corporeal form, being essentially a giant galaxy dotted with multiple blinking lights that move whenever He speaks. |
| 296 | * TimeAbyss: When Bender asks who made Him (initially assuming Him to be a mechanical entity) he responds with "I have always been". |
| 297 | * TimeMaster: His brief appearance in "Bender's Big Score" reveals that He's the one who makes the Time Portals whenever somebody reads the Time Code out loud. |

| 309 | * BoobBasedGag: In "Stench And Stenchability" when she lifts her breasts with the defibrillator ("I'm a doctor, and yes. They're real. Clear!"). |
| 310 | * BrainlessBeauty: Despite her insistence that her attractive nature didn't make her a bimbo, she tends to lapse into this. |
| 311 | * DumbBlonde: Zig-Zagged. She is alternating between being a competent doctor offended by dumb blonde stereotypes to... well...being a dumb blonde. |
| 312 | * HospitalHottie: She is a sexy young doctor. Fry just calls her "Dr. Good and Sexy". |
| 313 | * MsFanservice: She is blonde, has a breathy voice, full sensual lips and a steaming hot body. |

| 334 | |
| 335 | A crazy tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist who leads The Legion of Mad Fellows. |
| 336 | ---- |
| 337 | * AscendedExtra: He appears as a sporadically appearing background character in the first two seasons before being quietly dropped and then later brought back in the fourth movie as a major character.[[note]]He was originally supposed to be part of a futuristic caste system ranked by numbers, hence the 9, but this idea was ultimately dropped.[[/note]] |
| 338 | * ConspiracyTheorist: He's paranoid about a so-called evil monster called "The Dark One". |
| 339 | * NoNameGiven: Referred to only as "The Number 9 Man". |
| 340 | * ProperlyParanoid: As it turns out, he's correct about the threat the Dark Ones pose. |

| 346 | [[caption-width-right:180:'''All Glory to the Hypnotoad.''']] |
| 347 | ->'''Debut''': "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" |
| 348 | |
| 349 | A frog-like creature with hypnotic eyes. He's the star of the show "Everybody loves Hypnotoad." |
| 350 | ---- |
| 351 | * AdvertisedExtra: Despite making only minor appearances in the show, he made a fair number of promotional appearances, such as on a list of episodes on [=YouTube=]. A "full episode" of "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad" was even included as a bonus on DVD sets of one of the original seasons. |
| 352 | * AmbiguouslyEvil: The Hypnotoad seems to have an overblown sense of ego and killed a man for interrupting their program, but they've never used their telepathic powers to cause significant harm despite being fully capable of doing so. |
| 353 | * TheCameo: Has appeared in at least a couple of episodes of ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', including--appropriately enough--[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS26E6Simpsorama the crossover episode]]. |
| 354 | * DroneOfDread: Emits one of these, possibly as part of its hypnotic quality. The sound used was originally a placeholder but the crew found it so enjoyably ''wrong'' that they decided to keep it. |
| 355 | * HypnoticCreature: Former TropeNamer, from when it was called "All Glory to the Hypnotoad". The Hypnotoad is a large toad-like creature with hypnotic powers strong enough to pull anyone (barring Fry) under its spell with an unbreakable grip. |
| 356 | * HypnoticEyes: His shtick is using his eyes to hypnotize people. |
| 357 | * MundaneUtility: His hypnosis allows him to near-instantly force anyone to do anything he wants... which he uses to win pet shows and be a pop culture icon and sitcom star. |
| 358 | * {{Narcissist}}: Implied, since he created and directed a show exclusively about himself titled "Everybody Loves Hypnotoad" with a sign saying "All Glory to The Hypnotoad". Of course, the glorious Hypnotoad is completely [[SelfDemonstratingArticle just and correct in this position. ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.]] |
| 359 | * PsychicAssistedSuicide: He once used his powers to force a man to kill himself [[DisproportionateRetribution because he interrupted his program]]. Something that was beyond the man's control. |
| 360 | * ShowWithinAShow: ''Everybody Loves Hypnotoad.'' It's the highest-rated show on television, though Fry feels that it's been going downhill since its third season. And it just so happens to consist entirely of Hypnotoad just sitting in a white void. |
| 361 | * TheVoiceless: Doesn't say a word. It's implied to have some kind of telepathy. |

| 364 | [[folder:The Waterfall Family]] |
| 365 | ->'''Voiced by''': Phil Hendrie\ |
| 366 | '''Debut''': "The Problem With Popplers" (Free Jr.); "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz" (Free Sr. & Old Man); "A Taste of Freedom" (Frieda); "Into the Wild Green Yonder" (Hutch) |
| 367 | |
| 368 | A family of offbeat political activists. |
| 369 | |
| 370 | * AssholeVictim: Junior, Senior and Frieda are all killed for the crime of being ''really'' irritating to everyone around them. |
| 371 | * BackForTheDead: Old Man Waterfall and Frieda Waterfall returned after their first appearances only to die. |
| 372 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: One of these gets inflicted on each family member, with Free Jr. being eaten by Lrrr, Free Sr. being torn apart by penguins, Old Man being crushed by a Decapodian Oppression Palace, Frieda having her brain burned out by the Dark One, and then Hutch getting his throat torn open and bleeding out courtesy of the same Dark One. |
| 373 | * HippieName: The activist Waterfall family, who have a hippie last name (the first two members introduced, Free Waterfall Jr. and Sr., also have hippie first names). |
| 374 | * RunningGag: Every member of the Waterfall family we've seen so far has met a violent (and usually karmic) death, usually in the same episode in which they were introduced. |
| 375 | |
| 376 | !!Free Waterfall, Jr. |
| 377 | * AnimalWrongsGroup: He heads up one of these, Mankind for Ethical Animal Treatment ([[FunWithAcronyms MEAT]]), which objects to ''any'' animal eating any other kind of animal, to the point of teaching a lion to live on tofu (leaving it very skinny and sickly). |
| 378 | * TheFriendNobodyLikes: |
| 379 | ** Even compared to the rest of his family, he comes across as especially obnoxious and incompetent. He doesn't even get the same kind of TheCloudCuckoolanderWasRight treatment as most of his relatives, with his objections to eating Popplers only being on the grounds that they're living creatures, not that they're sentient (Leela is the one who discovers that). It eventually culminates in Lrrr being ''cheered'' for devouring him on-stage. |
| 380 | ** He's also the only member of the family never to be mentioned by any of their relatives or have one show up to mourn his passing, which out-of-universe is EarlyInstallmentWeirdness (since they hadn't planned on the Waterfalls becoming a recurring family), but in-universe implies that even his own family members can't stand him. |
| 381 | * LameComeback: He's bad at arguing with people. Any time anyone retorts to him, he usually just goes "shut up". During his TV interview with Leela, he sulks and mutters when he's not allowed to speak. |
| 382 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: Had he just sat back and let Lrrr eat the orangutan that Zapp Brannigan was trying to pass off as Leela, the orangutan would have been the only casualty. Instead, not only does it get eaten anyway, but so does Free Jr. himself (''after'' Lrrr had been talked down from eating anybody else, no less). |
| 383 | * StonersAreFunny: Lrrr regrets eating him due to the sheer amount of drugs in his system. |
| 384 | --> '''Lrrr:''' Ooh, I think there was something funny in that hippie. |
| 385 | * ThisCannotBe: His last words as Lrrr is eating him alive are "This is not happening!" |
| 386 | * TooDumbToLive: Trying to intercede with an alien capable of devouring human beings whole was already a dumb enough idea, but continuing to annoy him and the crowd after the situation had already been resolved was just asking for him to become Omicronian chow. Given Lrrr immediately after gets stoned off his ass just from eating him, he was probably flying pretty damn high when he did it. |
| 387 | * UndignifiedDeath: Compared to the rest of his family, his death is the most comical. It's brought on by how annoying he's being after he almost dooms Leela to being eaten, and Lrrr eating him isn't treated as horrific or tragic, but with everyone in the room (and possibly the planet) cheering for the Omicronian. And just to rub salt in the wound, Lrrr [[SpikedBlood gets stoned]] while digesting him. |
| 388 | |
| 389 | !!Free Waterfall, Sr. |
| 390 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He's got some pretty out-there ideas, such as keeping his hands shoved up his butt ("Nature's pocket", he calls it), and believing rubbing permafrost onto your crotch is a good way to keep it warm, not caring if it's right or not. |
| 391 | * DevouredByTheHorde: A horde of penguins. His primary concern is that they use up all of his body. |
| 392 | * DidntThinkThisThrough: His attempt to stop the Planet Express ship towing the ''Juan Valdez'' and its load of dark matter oil falls at the first hurdle because he didn't take into account the fact that spaceships can move in three dimensions. |
| 393 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: We see that he's just as bad as his son when he admonishes his followers for clapping, telling them that doing so kills spores that will some day grow into a nutritious fungus. |
| 394 | * {{Hypocrite}}: After spending the entire episode trying to save the penguins from the oil spill, he decides to lead his group on a hunting expedition when it becomes clear that the side-effects of the spill are leading to massive penguin over-population. He tries to justify his actions on the grounds that it'd be better to MercyKill the penguins than have them slowly die of starvation, but he's clearly enjoying the thought of a penguin hunt. |
| 395 | -->'''Free Waterfall, Sr.:''' Leela, you may be farmin' some free range truth there... on the other hand, we already made up 200 pounds of batter for penguin tempura. Okay, boys, it's them or us! |
| 396 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: He tells Leela that no one enjoys killing penguins, but hey, if you're gonna kill them anyway, might as well enjoy it. |
| 397 | |
| 398 | !!Old Man Waterfall |
| 399 | * AmoralAttorney: Averted. He does his best to honestly represent Zoidberg in court. The problem is the court and the jury are biased against him being a practicing bisexual polygamist Satanist. |
| 400 | * AnArmAndALeg: One of his hands, one arm and one leg are all artificial. He also presumably has artificial intestines and skin, given he used the former as a rope to hoist a flag made out of the latter. |
| 401 | * CoolOldGuy: He's a military veteran and skilled lawyer, who defends Zoidberg at his trial for eating Earth's flag. He also happens to be a Satan-worshipping, bisexual polygamist, which either downplays this somewhat, or turns it up to eleven depending on one's personal views. |
| 402 | * CrusadingLawyer: One who volunteers to represent a client for desecrating a flag he himself loves and fought in multiple wars to defend. |
| 403 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He briefly appears in "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz" to tell Free Sr. that he'll avenge his death, a full season before his appearance in "A Taste of Freedom". |
| 404 | * HollywoodSatanism: Requests a Satanic funeral as he lies dying after being crushed by the Decapodians. |
| 405 | * {{Polyamory}}: He openly admits to being a polygamist with seven wives and a husband. |
| 406 | * TemptingFate: He tells the Decapodians that they can crush him, but they can't crush his spirit. They proceed to prove that they can do both just fine. |
| 407 | * WhiteSheep: The one member of his family who comes across as a mostly, if not entirely, sane and rational person. |
| 408 | |
| 409 | !!Frieda Waterfall |
| 410 | * AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: For reasons unexplained, her Venus symbol amulet grants Fry telepathy when it gets lodged in his forehead. |
| 411 | * AscendedExtra: She only made a brief cameo in "A Taste of Freedom", then became a prominent character in "Into the Green Yonder". |
| 412 | * CrosscastRole: In one of the very few examples of the show doing this for a named character, she's still voiced by Phil Hendrie, like the rest of her family. |
| 413 | * DreadfulMusician: Mainly because she just can't sing. |
| 414 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her first line is to blame Old Man's death on the "mano-centric male-ocracy" -- despite the fact that not only is Old Man male himself, but the Oppression Palace that killed him was being operated by both male and female Decapodians. |
| 415 | * GranolaGirl: She's portrayed as your typical hippie chick, complete with peasant skirts, flower crowns, feminist and environmentalist views, and a refusal to harm any living thing, no matter how repulsive it might be. |
| 416 | * HippieVan: She has a pink spaceship that is just a VW microbus InSpace |
| 417 | * PainfulRhyme: Seems to be (along with SheKnowsTooMuch) the main reason the Dark One kills her. |
| 418 | -->'''Dark One:''' ''Where are your crappy rhymes now, Frieda Waterfall?''\ |
| 419 | '''Frieda:''' I'm dead, I'm dead. Eat only wholegrain br-''(the Dark One strangles her)'' |
| 420 | * StrawFeminist: Played with; while she embodies the perceived worst traits of feminists, she does have legitimate grounds for trying to take on both President Nixon's sexism and Leo Wong's attempts to destroy what turns out to be the egg of the last Encyclopod. |
| 421 | * WavingSignsAround: She and her eco-feminista collective frequently brandish signs with her awful rhymes on them. |
| 422 | |
| 423 | !!Hutch Waterfall |
| 424 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Compared to the cartoonish deaths that his relatives get, his is actually pretty graphic by comparison, with the last Dark One ripping open his throat and making him bleed to death. |
| 425 | * LastOfHisKind: Presumably he was the last surviving member of the family, seeing how no Waterfalls are mentioned or seen during the Comedy Central seasons of ''Futurama''. Although presumably his DNA was replicated inside the Encyclopod. |
| 426 | * NiceGuy: Aside from bashing Fry over the head whenever he wants to talk to him, he's a pretty cool guy. |
| 427 | * OnlySaneMan: Ironically enough for someone who's a member of the Legion of Mad Fellows, he's probably the least whacked out member of the Waterfall family. |
| 428 | * ProperlyParanoid: As it turns out, he's entirely correct about the threat the Dark Ones represent. |
| 429 | * TinfoilHat: Wears one to protect himself from having his thoughts read. |
| 430 | * WhiteSheep: Like his great grandfather Old Man Waterfall, he lacks his sister's, father's, and grandfather's unpleasant qualities. |

| 439 | ---- |
| 440 | * AgeGapRomance: He's 50 ([[spoiler:biologically]]) while Leela's in her late 20s/early 30s. |
| 441 | * AlternateSelf: [[spoiler:He is one for Fry, being a (biologically) alternate time duplicate of him.]] |
| 442 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: There are a number of clues of who Lars is during the movie. |
| 443 | ** Lars has [[Creator/BillyWest the same voice actor as Fry]]. It's not too obvious given lots of characters have the same VA, but given they look similar it's a clue that [[spoiler:they're the same person.]] |
| 444 | ** During a song number, Fry laments "I bet she'd love me too if I was a bald-headed kook." [[spoiler:[[AlternateSelf This turns out to literally be the case]].]] |

| 448 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:When he realizes as a time duplicate he's doomed]], Lars breaks off the wedding with Leela to spare her future heart-arche. [[spoiler:As Fry he was willing to give up his pursuit of Leela for Lars...[[TomatoInTheMirror only to realize he IS Lars]].]] |

| 450 | * OlderAndWiser: [[spoiler:He's a version of Fry that grew over 12-18 years into a more mature and intelligent person.]] |

| 452 | * OtherMeAnnoysMe: [[spoiler:Fry and Lars before he became Fry hates Lars [[GreenEyedMonster out of jealousy]]. It's only after the day is saved that Fry reconciles.]] |
| 453 | * ParadoxPerson: [[spoiler:if [[MyOwnGrampa being his own grandfather]] wasn't enough, Lars is a literal time paradox duplicate of Fry]]. |
| 454 | * StableTimeLoop: [[spoiler:For starters, Lars wouldn't even ''exist'' had Bender not taken the time code off his ass and onto the Fry frozen in the pilot episode, allowing the time travel of the movie to happen. He also knows his name because he met himself as Fry.]] |
| 455 | * TemporalDuplication: [[spoiler:Created as a result of Fry going back a little bit for warmer pizza. The younger Fry decides not to use the code and lives for 12 years in the past before realizing he's Lars, and the one who time traveled trips into the same cryo-tube he fell into in the first place.]] |
| 456 | * TemporalParadox: [[spoiler:He exists because he decided not to use the time code like his near future self did, splitting them into different people.]] |
| 457 | * TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler:As Fry he spent 12 years being envious of Lars' relationship with Leela. It's only when his hair is burned off and his voice changes due to the fire that he realizes he's the younger version of Lars.]] |
| 458 | * WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to talk about Lars without talking about his real identity. |
| 459 | * YourDaysAreNumbered: [[spoiler:As a time duplicate he's doomed, and when he realizes this [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he stops the wedding with Leela to spare her further heartbreak]]. Lasts much longer than the other duplicates, though.]] |

| 483 | * EvilLaugh: He lets out a very deep laugh whenever he scores a point over Hermes. |
| 484 | * ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: "Barbados Slim?! Last I heard, you were in Barbados!" |
| 485 | * {{Foil}} / TheRival: Hermes Conrad's great rival since back when they were both Olympic limbo champions -- |
| 486 | ** They both have a romantic connection to [=LaBarbara=]--Slim was [=LaBarbara=]'s husband at one point, but then they got divorced and she eventually got together with Hermes (even having a son with him). |
| 487 | ** Hermes, though he's still very good at limbo, let himself go after he retired from sports--Slim, on the other hand, still apparently competes in limbo (at least for the Olympics) ''and'' is still in just as good of shape as he was back when Hermes was still competing ([=LaBarbara=] even goes as far as to call her ex a "human-Adonis"). |
| 488 | ** Slim's an arrogant jerk who appears to be single with no children while Hermes, who isn't always the friendliest person ever, is generally a very loving and devoted husband (to [=LaBarbara=]) and father (to Dwight, his son with [=LaBarbara=]). |
| 489 | ** They're both originally from island-countries in the Caribbean--[[CaptainObvious Slim's originally from Barbados]] while Hermes is originally from Jamaica (and so is [=LaBarbara=]). |
| 490 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: "You haven't seen the last of Barbados Slim. Now goodbye, forever!" |
| 491 | * {{Jerkass}}: Not evil, but he is incredibly smug. |
| 492 | * PhraseCatcher: Hermes lets out a shocked, horrified exclamation of "Barbados Slim!" whenever his rival appears. |
| 493 | * SexGod: As Hermes notes in the first movie, Barbados Slim is the only person to have won Olympic gold medals in both limbo and sex. [=LaBarbara=] has also gone so far as to refer to her ex as a "Mahogany God." |
| 494 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Tends to refer to himself in the third person. |

| 500 | '''Debut:''' "Stench and Stenchability" |
| 501 | |
| 502 | Zoidberg's smell-impaired love interest. |
| 503 | ---- |
| 504 | * BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: After undergoing a nose transplant, Marianne finds she hates the smell of flowers but loves the smells of Zoidberg's musk and garbage. She attributes this to never learning the difference between a good smell and a bad smell. |
| 505 | * InnocentFlowerGirl: A florist who can see the good in anyone, even [[ButtMonkey Zoidberg]]. |
| 506 | * NiceGirl: A pleasant, kind-hearted woman who genuinely loves Zoidberg for who he is. |
| 507 | * RescueRomance: How her relationship with Zoidberg started: Roberto tried to rob her flower stand, only for Zoidberg to protect her and drive him away with his stench. |
| 508 | * SatelliteLoveInterest: To Zoidberg. She has very little characterization beyond loving Zoidberg and being unable to smell (though this was because she showed up just before the series ended its run on Comedy Central); she primarily exists to [[ThrowTheDogABone make him happy]]. |

| 514 | '''Debut:''' "Crimes of the Hot" |
| 515 | |
| 516 | Richard Nixon's Vice-President, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the headless body of Spiro Agnew]] |
| 517 | ---- |
| 518 | * TheDragon: Apparently he "belongs" to Nixon now. |
| 519 | * FlatCharacter: Mostly because he just growls. |
| 520 | * KilledOffForReal: In "Into the Wild Green Yonder", he's crushed by an out-of-control golf cart. |
| 521 | * TheVoiceless: He growls, but that's it. |
| 522 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: The Feministas are charged with his death, but even then the stiffest sentence that would give them is six weeks in jail. |
| 523 | * ZombieGait: Tends to lurch and shamble like a zombie. |

| 528 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BillyWest\ |
| 529 | '''Debut:''' "A Tale of Two Santas" |
| 530 | |
| 531 | The judge that the Futurama characters usually face when they go to court. |
| 532 | ---- |
| 533 | * HangingJudge: He is never a reasonable arbiter of justice. |
| 534 | * KillThePoor: Not kill, but Whitey does think not having a money is a crime. In fact, mental institutions have been overcrowded as a result of him declaring that poverty is a mental illness. |
| 535 | * NotSoAboveItAll: As he puts it in "Three Hundred Big Boys", you're never too rich to enjoy a free turkey dog. |
| 536 | * RichInDollarsPoorInSense: He apparently didn't know what a ''bank'' was until he was told by his caddie's chauffeur. |

| 543 | |
| 544 | The mayor of New New York City. |
| 545 | ---- |
| 546 | * FatBastard: He's a bit pudgy and isn't exactly a good person. |
| 547 | * MayorPain: As mayor, he is consistently shown to be lazy and apathetic at best and selfish and corrupt at worst. |
| 548 | * PetTheDog: When Mrs. Astor asks him to end mutant segregation in "The Mutants are Revolting", he unhesitatingly complies. |
| 549 | * PoliticiansKissBabies: Before disposing of a baby robot with the rest of the e-waste in "Attack of the Killer App", he takes the opportunity to kiss it. |

| 556 | |
| 557 | A rock alien who showed up at the end of "Neutopia" to return everyone to their normal genders. |
| 558 | ---- |
| 559 | * ChekhovsGunman: First mentioned in the middle of "Neutopia" when the rock monster who changed the Planet Express crew and passengers' genders mentions losing a bet to him, he doesn't appear in person until the end of the episode to resolve the problem at the last minute by restoring everyone (except Scruffy) to their normal genders. |
| 560 | * FlirtatiousSmackOnTheAss: When he has Bender's arms in "Assie Come Home", he uses them to cheat in card games as well as slap Leela on the bottom. |
| 561 | * {{Jerkass}}: When he wins Bender's hands in "Zapp Dingbat", he outright admits he has no use for them while telling Bender to his face that he still refuses to return them. |

| 570 | ->"Sweet" Clyde Dixon - David Herman |
| 571 | ->'''Debut:''' "Time Keeps on Slippin'" |
| 572 | |
| 573 | Lead by Ethan "Bubblegum" Tate, the Globetrotters are a team of professional basketball players from the Globetrotter Planet and are also some of the greatest scientific minds in the universe. |
| 574 | ---- |
| 575 | * AcademicAthlete: They can solve complicated physics just as well as they play basketball. "Bubblegum" Tate is Senior Lecturer of Physics at Globetrotter University. |
| 576 | -->'''Professor:''' You're ''that'' Bubblegum Tate? |
| 577 | -->'''Tate:''' Well, I sure ain't his grandma! |
| 578 | * BlackAndNerdy: The team are all black and have genius level scientific minds. |
| 579 | * DiabolusExNihilo: Spoofed to get back at the executives. One day they arrive on Earth and challenge them to a basketball match explicitly for no reason, and with no stake... beyond the shame of ''defeat''. |
| 580 | * HiddenDepths: In their debut episode, it seemed like they were just a bunch of basketball playing bullies, but turned out to be much nicer and smarter than they lead on. |
| 581 | * HypocriticalHumor: "[[WhoDares Who dares]] laugh at the Jesters of Dunk?!" |
| 582 | * IAmNotLeftHanded: Their algebra is just as showboaty as their basketball skills. A ''good'' Globetrotter always saves the real algebra for the final minutes. |
| 583 | * PlanetOfHats: Done to absurdity; ''everyone'' on their planet is apparently a Globetrotter. |

| 588 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidHerman\ |
| 589 | '''Debut:''' "Three Hundred Big Boys" |
| 590 | |
| 591 | A whale biologist at the aquarium who hates whales. He later becomes a bear biologist at a remote outpost at Ursa Major, but doesn't like bears any better than whales. |
| 592 | ---- |
| 593 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Implied to have been killed offscreen by the tardigrades after Kif uses him as bait to escape. If indeed he was killed, he certainly deserved it for being such a shameless dick.]] |
| 594 | * BrutalHonesty: "I calls 'em like I sees 'em." Apparently being a biologist gives him carte blanch to do so. |
| 595 | * CharacterCatchPhrase : "Whale/Bear Biologist," often said after he has insulted the animal in question, and even sometimes after insulting a sentient character. |
| 596 | * InsufferableGenius: Comes off as this, though how knowledgeable he actually is in his field of study is debatable. |
| 597 | * {{Jerkass}}: Hates the animals (whales and bears) he works with as a biologist, and is rude and condescending to other characters. May possibly be forced to do so due to his career chip. |
| 598 | * TheResenter: While he hates all whales, he particularly despises Mushu, and it's implied because he thinks Mushu thinks he's better than him. |
| 599 | * RiddleForTheAges: If he hates whales so much, why ''did'' he become a whale biologist? He refuses to say. |

| 605 | |
| 606 | A robot who represents Kwanzaa, spending the X-Mas season distributing a book explaining it to the confused children of Earth. |
| 607 | ---- |
| 608 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: One of the few things that gets him angry is dissing Kwanzaa, so much so he teams up with Robot Santa and the Hannukah Zombie to build weapons to kill the offenders. |
| 609 | -->'''Kwanzaa-Bot:''' ''I'm confused about its meaning,''\ |
| 610 | ''But I know it when they diss it!'' |
| 611 | * TheBusCameBack: Reappears in "Bender's Big Score", and later the out-of-continuity "Futurama Holiday Special". |
| 612 | * DudeWheresMyRespect: Just a little weary about the fact that even though he's been around for hundreds of years, people ''still'' don't know what the hell Kwanzaa even is. |
| 613 | -->'''Kwanzaa-Bot:''' ''(wistfully)'' I've been giving [these books] out for four hundred years... |
| 614 | * NiceGuy: One of the few beings not to be a target of Robot Santa Claus's brutal indiscriminate rampages, and even invites him (or who he thinks is him) to parties with the Hannukah Zombie. Robot Santa even calls him a friend. |
