to:
-->Voiced by Creator/MauriceLaMarche (Donbot and Clamps) and Creator/JohnDiMaggio (Joey Mousepad)
-->Debut: ''"Bender Gets Made"''
The Robot Mafia is an organized crime syndicate of robots located in Little Bitaly. The Donbot, its boss, and goons Clamps and Joey Mousepad represent the entire society.
* AxCrazy: Clamps is probably the most violent goon of the Robot
* CatchPhrase: Invoked. As evidenced by the commentary for "Bendless Love", the producers wanted 'Clamp clamp ka-bamp!' to be Clamps catchphrase.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Joey Mousepad, especially in ''Bendless Love'':

[[caption-width-right:320:"Jam a bastard in it, you crap!"]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/TressMacNeille
-->Debut: ''"A Fishful of Dollars"''
Head of Mom Co and richest woman on earth, she is the overall villain of {{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}. It was also revealed that she was in a relationship with Professor Farnsworth in the past, but he left when he found out how evil she was. This happened several times, as he kept forgetting.
* AbusiveParents: Her favorite act of parenting to her kids? Slapping the hell out of them ''at the drop of a hat.'' When Walt and Larry where just toddlers, she used them as ''human shields'' during Farnsworth's explosive demonstration of dark matter.
* BigBad: She is the closest thing the series has to a main villain. Although the movies have their respective baddies, she returns in the third as the primary antagonist.
* BirthdayHater: She hates "Mother's Day" (a day when all the robots her company built show their affection), since her true love, Professor Farnsworth, left her after an argument. It's not technically her birthday, but it serves the same purpose (being a celebration centered around her).
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She presents herself to the public as a matronly grandmother, but in reality she's an incredibly evil and abusive old woman.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: She's a CCE trying to take over the world, who masquerades as a sweet, kindly old lady in public.
* DatingCatwoman: Professor Farnsworth has some history with Mom, which resurfaces in a few episodes.
* DistaffCounterpart: Basically a female version of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr. Burns]]. Which is why they hooked up in the CrisisCrossover comic book.
* EvilMatriarch: She provides the page image.
* EvilOldFolks: She hates everyone and everything, and has actually sent every robot in the world on a revolution against humans so that they could conquer the world for her.
* FatSuit: Used to keep up with her public appeal as an innocent grandma figure... then promptly discarded elsewhere to reveal a slender hag underneath.
* FauxAffablyEvil: A ruthless corporate raider and abusive parent who puts on a sweet old lady routine and fat suit for her TV ads. In her first appearance in "A Fishful of Anchovies", she drops the act when she finishes cutting a TV ad, and again when Fry gets in her way.
* GivenNameReveal: Everyone always called her "Mom," but when it was revealed that she and Zoidberg had a history, her casually addressed her as "Carol."
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: A modern version.
* {{Jerkass}}: Good Lord! She is '''RUTHLESS!'''
* KarmaHoudini: She never really pays for a lot of her actions. Most punishment she got was in ''Bender's Game'' where her plan to hoard dark matter was foiled when it was rendered useless.
* LeanAndMean: Lampshaded.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: It's suggested that she became so bitter because Farnsworth broke off with her 70 or so years ago. Though, granted, he broke it off because she was already doing some morally reprehensible stuff, so it's more of a case that Love Makes You ''Worse.''
* MamaBear: Sort of...
-->'''Mom:''' Nobody rips my kids off but me!
* NeverMessWithGranny: In spades. Although she is by no means a CoolOldLady, being firmy in EvilMatriarch camp.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: In-universe.
* OneBadMother: As big a jerk as Mom is, just try not to say anything bad about her when your own mother happens to be in earshot. The results wouldn't be pretty. Turns out her real name is actually Carol.
* PetTheDog:
** Zoidberg is the only person she treats well. She was also willing to give him an expensive yeti head that Zoidberg needed for a coupon. It could be she was also trying to help the Professor as well.
** In a bit of a twisted example, she comforts Bender when he apologizes for not being able to exterminate humanity without being told to first.
** She dabbled in genetic engineering to cure a person of being a giant and create plants big enough to feed world hunger. She still intended to profit off the latter, but emphasized that the resulting plants would be so cheap that even the poor could afford them. She also cured Leela's mutations in gratitude for (accidentally) helping her perfect her work.
* RichBitch: She's an evil, extremely rich businesswoman.
* TakeOverTheWorld: When she's feeling cranky. "GO CONQUER EARTH, YOU BASTARDS!"
* {{Tsundere}}: The reason she's broken up and gotten back together with Professor Farnsworth several times over several decades.
* UngratefulBitch: She receives hundreds of thousands of heartfelt cards from her robotic 'children' every Mother's Day, but she uses them as material for her products without even reading them. (After checking inside for money, of course.)
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She appears as a sweet, lovable old lady in public, but is really a CorruptCorporateExecutive. She may not always be planning to take over the world, but it is canon that she intends total global (or more) economic domination.

-->Voiced by: Creator/MauriceLaMarche, David Herman and Creator/JohnDiMaggio
-->Debut: ''"A Fishful of Dollars"''
Mom's three sycophantic sons/henchmen in order of importance. Walt is the oldest and supposedly most intelligent - but even that isn't saying much. Larry is a snivelling yes-man to everything his mother says with an inferiority complex the size of New New York. And Igner is mentally retarded.
* BigBrotherBully: Walt towards his younger brothers, on multiple occasions.
* ButtMonkey: Larry, who is often abused by Mom and Walt, and Igner, who is usually assigned the worst jobs by his brother.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In their debut episode, Walt was virtually the same, but Larry seemed to [[ButtMonkey be at the bottom rung]] while Igner was silent, but normal (barring a few hints of crossdressing). Larry now seems to be the OnlySaneMan while Igner is a full-on TheDitz.
* ComicTrio: Walt is the schemer, Larry is powerless, and Igner is stupid.
* TheDitz: Igner is the dumbest of the three, and often displays the symptoms of mental retardation.
* TheDragon: Theoretically, Walt to Mom - although he doesn't actually have any say in any of Mom's plans, he does have the authority to slap his brothers around.
* DumbassHasAPoint: "Bender's Game", in-universe.
-->'''Walt:''' Did you see anyone?
-->'''Igner:''' Me?
-->'''Walt:''' Yes, you. You're the only one here.
-->'''Igner:''' If I'm the only one here, how could I see anyone?
-->'''Larry:''' He's got a point, Walt.
-->'''Walt:''' So does my knee! (''knees Larry'')
* ExtremeDoormat: Larry is submissive to his older brother and mother, and ApologisesALot even when it's not his fault.
* {{Expy}}: Their antics often mirror those of Larry, Curly, and Moe of Film/TheThreeStooges. When Mom slaps them, it's dubbed with either the original Stooges multi-person slap sound or a very close match.
* HeroicBastard: [[spoiler: Igner's father Farnsworth wasn't married, and though not a hero [[DumbIsGood Igner's the nicest of his siblings]] ]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Walt is the most similar to Mom, in personality.
* LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler:Igner is Farnsworth's son, and Walt is Wernstrom's son. Larry hasn't been clarified, but is probably also Wernstrom's son, since the colour of his hair is the same as Wernstrom's when he was younger.]]
* NiceMeanAndInbetween: Walt is the mean one, Igner is the nice one, and Larry is the inbetween.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: ''Igner'' of all people did this in ''Bender's Game'' to his brothers, which raises some questions about his usual behaviour...
* OedipusComplex: Walt once voiced the desire to marry a woman just like his mother. The worrying part was that the looks his brothers gave him didn't display them seeing a problem with this - and possibly even agreeing.
* OnlySaneMan: It's hard to tell, thanks to Walt's crazy and idiotic plans, but other than those he does seem to be the only sane man in the trio.
* PunchClockVillain: The brothers have had occasional appearances outside of Mom's schemes, and it seems that when Mom isn't around, the three of them lead almost normal lives (Larry in particular was once seen queuing up to use Bender's dating service).
* PuttingOnTheReich: They seem to go to the same tailor as the [[StarWars Galactic Empire]] and the [[{{Series/Firefly}} Union of Allied Planets]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Overclockwise," where Walt, Larry and Igner are playing ''World of World War II 3'' against Fry, Cubert and Bender ''as'' the [[ThoseWackyNazis Trope Namers]].
* ShrinkingViolet: Larry is a spineless, NervousWreck who finds it difficult to even say aloud words like "bra".
* SiblingsInCrime: They are the primary henchmen of Mom's business.
* SissyVillain: All of them (particularly Larry) qualify.
* TerribleTrio: Though they're not completely incompetent, Mom treats them as if they are. Their original plan to get Fry's [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment PIN number]] only worked because Fry was being... [[IdiotHero well, Fry]].
* TheUnfavourite: While Mom is mean to all three of them, it's pretty clear [[ButtMonkey Larry]] is her least favorite son.
* VillainousFriendship: There are odd moments they have when [[Main/BigBrotherBully Walt isn't slapping them around]]. They hang out and play video games with each other, for example, and seem to get along when off work.

[[caption-width-right:320:You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. ThatMakesMeFeelAngry!]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/DanCastellaneta (1999, 2003, 2008); Creator/MauriceLaMarche (2001, on the episode "A Tale of Two Santas")
-->Debut: ''"Hell Is Other Robots"''
Overlord of Robot Hell, tormentor of robotic souls, and sower of discord. His manipulations often turn against him.
* AffablyEvil: He might be the robot version of {{Satan}}, but he's actually a rather polite guy under most circumstances.
* BodySurf: Should he get his body trashed, his digital ghost transfers into one of his countless replacement bodies on the double.
* ChainOfDeals: Actually manages to use one in "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" as part of a BatmanGambit to reclaim his hands from Fry... and it works!
* CrazyPrepared: Oh, so you think you can destroy the Robot Devil? He's got an endless closet of replacement bodies.
* DealWithTheDevil: He does this. A lot.
* TheDevilIsALoser: The guy is [[IdiotHero outsmarted by Fry]] and in one episode is seen in jail.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The depths to which Bender can stoop shock even him, like when [[spoiler:Bender reunited with his long-lost son, then punted him into a vat of electric fire, all because the Robot Devil wanted Bender to sacrifice his first-born son to him]].
** [[spoiler:And in "Calculon 2.0", his response to [[{{Narcissist}} Calculon's]] offer to perform a one man show for the residents of Robot Hell:]]
--->'''Robot Devil:''' Haven't they suffered enough?!
* HiddenDepths: He is a music enthusiast.
* IronicHell: Will exploit this when at his worst.
* LargeHam: His musical numbers say it all.
* LiteralGenie: How his deals work, with him usually keeping his word unless he gets screwed over by it, in which case he goes in JerkassGenie.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His voice is based on Hans Conried's portrayal of Captain Hook in ''Disney/PeterPan''.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Proves at the end of "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" that despite TheDevilIsALoser trope applying to him most of the time, he is extremely cunning and isn't to be underestimated.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Given that there is a "Fairness in Hell Act" dating back to the 23rd century, he's probably this.
* {{Satan}}: Apparently when robots started getting religion, it was felt that only a simulation of Satan would keep them on the straight and narrow.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
* SissyVillain: At one point, he summoned the fire department to his office (which is in Robot Hell, full of fire and brimstone and lava) because his trash can was on fire. Note that the firemen (the Planet Express Crew) had to get through a wall of it just to get into the office.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Was his line, and is the TropeNamer
* VillainSong: A whole one dedicated to Robot Hell, lyrics tailored to Bender's predicament (with Fry and Leela unwittingly contributing to the song). Lampshaded in "Ghost in the Machine," when he cues up the ''exact same'' song again and Bender furiously shuts him and his band up.

[[folder:Robot Santa Claus]]
-->Debut: ''"Xmas Story"''
-->Voiced By: Creator/JohnGoodman (on "Xmas Story"); Creator/JohnDiMaggio (all other appearances)
A robotic Santa Claus that was designed on Earth to determine who was naughty and who was nice at Christmas (now "X-Mas"). However, due to a programming error, his AI finds a way to deem everyone naughty (though somehow excluding Zoidberg) and his resolution is to commit genocide to rectify it. Thus, every year at X-Mas, he comes down from his base on Neptune to smite Earth for its apparent indiscretion. Everyone on the planet typically fortifies their homes and cowers in fear until X-Mas has passed.
* AllCrimesAreEqual: "Mobsters beating up a shopkeeper for protection money: very naughty. Shopkeeper's not paying their protection money: exactly as naughty."
* AxCrazy: He makes Bender look like pacifistic by comparison.
* {{Badass}}: An evil robotic bazooka-wielding Santa. Not nice, but definitely Badass.
* BadassSanta: Heck one song they sing about him is called "Santa Claus Is Gunning You Down."
* BadBoss: The midget Neptunians who slave in his toy factory on Neptune are starved and mistreated.
* BadSanta: A recurring homicidal robot villain with nigh-unachievable standards for "nice". For example, mafia thugs beating up a shopkeeper for protection money? That's naughty. But a shopkeeper refusing to pay mobsters protection money? Equally naughty. Scruffy the Janitor apparently gets on the "naughty" list simply by picking his nose.
* BigBad: In any Christmas episode.
* DisproportionateRetribution: If anybody does something he consider "naughty" he feels they need to die.
* TheDreaded: The entire planet Earth is terrified of him and won't go outside until X-Mas has passed.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Shows in one episode where he invites Bender to join him on his reign of terror after he took over for him, only to kick him off the sleigh not long afterwards.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's hostile to (nearly) everyone (except Zoidberg, [[PetTheDog who's the only person on his nice list]]).
* KarmaHoudini: Mainly because it is really, really hard to kill him. Everyone in the show's universe treats his annual visit as a way of life - or, sometimes, cause of death - that can't be avoided.
* KnightTemplar: He has been programmed to determine who is naughty and who is nice. Unfortunately, his standards for nice are set too high - everyone except Dr. Zoidberg is considered naughty, and to make matters worse, he ain't limited to putting coal in your stocking. He's more likely to turn you to charcoal instead.
* LogicBomb: Subverted - he was built with paradox-proof crumple zones to prevent him from being destroyed by them.
* MoralSociopathy: A KnightTemplar example. He has a very strict code of morals. But he doesn't really seem to care for other people. He only applies these ethics to other people and only when they do something wrong.
* PetTheDog: He treats Zoidberg very well in contrast to the other characters.
* Really700YearsOld: Has made X-Mas horrible for 200 years straight.
* TheSociopath: ''Worse'' than Bender.
* VillainDecay: In-universe in ''Bender's Big Score''. His heart wasn't in it anymore.

* PrettyInMink: Gets his girl a white fur coat [[FellOffTheBackOfATruck he just happened to get from Burlington Coat Factory]].

[[folder:Lrrr and Ndnd (of the planet Omicron Persei 8!)]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lrrr_and_Ndnd_1341.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:"It is true, what they say: men are from Omicron Persei 7, women are from Omicron Persei 9!"]]
-->Voiced by Creator/MauriceLaMarche and Creator/TressMacNeille
-->Debut: ''"When Aliens Attack"''
The rulers of the planet Omicron Persei 8, Lrrr and Ndnd ([[ItsPronouncedTroPAY pronounced "Lerrr" and "Nen-DEN-duh"]]) are typically presented as working towards conquering other planets to expand their empire. When not conquering other planets, they act like a remarkably stereotypical couple that have been married for years, watching television, having petty arguments and the like. Their race, the Omicronians, are capable of producing several millions of (delicious) children, an asset which allows them to conquer many planets, as mentioned above.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: They seem to have their own language (like when Ndnd was counting to the little Omicronian in "The Problem With Popplers") but for the convenience of us (and probably the writers), they always speak English. [[FridgeBrilliance However they DO spend most of their free time watching 20th/21st century Earth television broadcasts...]]
* BadassCape: Lrrr, and pretty much standard attire for Omicronian men in positions of power.
* BigBad: Apart from Mom, the Omicronians are another selection of characters often played as villains.
* BlackComedyRape: A human woman does this to him in "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences".
* CatchPhrase: "I am Lrrr, ''ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!''" Said even to people already ''very'' familiar with him. And when he's trying to [[PaperThinDisguise hide his identity]].
--> '''Lrrr:''' Oh, I'm just... some guy... ''[[VerbalTic ruler of the planet Omicron Persei Eight!]]''
** According to ''T For Terrestrial'', this is a common trait among Omicronians.
--> '''Drrr''': I am Drrr, Doctor of the Planet Omicron Persei 8!
* CompensatingForSomething: Lrrr helpfully informs a plastic surgeon that his horns are a sign of virility... and that [[BizarreAlienBiology they house his testicles]]. He's promptly recommended to get horn extensions.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: A human girl with an alien fetish forces Lrrr to have sex with her. He cries about it the next day, but you know, it's (supposed to be) [[PlayedForLaughs funny.]]
* DomesticAbuse: More specifically, DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale. PlayedForLaughs, of course.
* EvilIsHammy: This concept of ham-style acting '''confuses and''' '''''INFURIATES LRRR!'''''
* EvilSoundsDeep: Lrr. In fact it seems that Maurice [=LaMarche=] uses the (exact) same voice for Morbo.
%%* ExtremeOmnivore
* HenpeckedHusband: Oh, God, is he ever. In "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences", Ndnd is '''mad''' at finding that Leela is more successful at nagging and forcing him to do stuff than she is (and Leela was trying to help him with his marriage).
* IsThisThingStillOn: Lrrr sets about scratching his crotch once he thinks the camera has stopped rolling on his announcement to eat a human in compensation for all the children consumed by humans.
* ItsPronouncedTroPAY: In the first few episodes featuring her, she's "nen-DEN-duh". In the later half, she's "Nn-duh-NN-duh".
* JustEatHim: Lrrr's prefered methods of dealing with conflict.
* NoIndoorVoice: Omicronians in general, but Lrrr is the best example.
* PaperThinDisguise: Lrrr tries to use one when buying an aphrodisiac in "Spanish Fry". What takes the cake is that when the video is shown to Leela, Fry, and Bender, Leela recognizes Lrrr before he even says a word.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: "This concept of 'wuv' CONFUSES AND INFURIATES US!
* VillainsOutShopping: They're even introduced to ''Futurama'' as demanding to be shown the final episode of a long-lost Earth television show, ''[[{{Ally McBeal}} Single Female Lawyer]]''.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Lrrr's father.

[[folder:President Richard Nixon('s head)]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/President_Nixon_4324.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:"If there's one thing Nixon is known for, it's class. Let's cut this turd loose!"]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/BillyWest
-->Debut: ''"Space Pilot 3000"''
[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The head of former U.S. President]] UsefulNotes/RichardNixon. He first appeared in the series premiere in a hall of heads of presidential figures, getting knocked over by Fry - which shatters his head jar and causes him to go into a frenzy. However, he gets a much bigger role when he decides to bodyjack Bender and exploit a Constitutional loophole to win an election, but gets cornered in Watergate and has to fork over Bender's body or let him play a recording of a psychotic rant he just spouted off. Still, Nixon wins the election (due to the large number of robot votes he got by sporting another, insanely huge robot body) and becomes President of Earth again - a surprisingly ''decent'' one... [[TakeThat go figure.]] He has since become a recurring character, and most often plays the PresidentEvil role. Nixon also has Spiro Agnew at his side as vice president again - though he's in the exact opposite predicament of all the other 20th-century cameo characters - an unintelligible body without a head.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The framing device for ''Saturday Morning Fun Pit'' revolves around him and the headless body of Agnew watching Saturday morning cartoons.
* AscendedExtra: Once a one-time character, Nixon's head is now the recurring president of Earth.
* BerserkButton: ''Do not'' smash his containment jar or he will go aggro on you, biting like a rabid jackal.
--> "That's it - you just made ''my '''list.'''''"
* {{Bowdlerise}}: In-Universe example in ''Saturday Morning Fit Pit'' during the [[GIJoe G I Zapp]] cartoon where he hilariously tries to dub over or tone down the more violent scenes of the cartoon until it becomes too much even for him and he pulls the plug.
* CardCarryingVillain: He loves doing evil.
* CatchPhrase "Aroooooo!"
%%* ChekhovsGunman
* ComedicSociopathy: He's presented as a head with a bottomless appetite for evil. Although he seems more interested in making the threats than doing the deeds.
-->I'll sell all of our children's organs to zoos for meat! Then I'll break into peoples' houses at night and wreck up the place! [[EvilLaugh Muhahahaha!]]
* DoIReallySoundLikeThat: When Bender plays back Nixon's incriminating rant about voters in "A Head in the Polls".
-->'''Nixon:''' My God, I really sound like that? I thought my voice had more of a Clark Gable quality.
* {{Eagleland}}: Type II.
* EvilIsHammy: '''"NIXON'S BACK!!!"'''
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Justified in-universe in that he's gone insane since the present.
* {{Jerkass}}: A trait that is exaggerated from Nixon's actual persona. In-universe the exaggeration is explained as a result of SanitySlippage from being stuck as a head in a jar at the head museum and unable to do anything important anymore.
* KarmaHoudini: Among his glaring list of wrongdoings, the biggest is flattening his secretary under the gargantuan boot of his super-sized robot body when he made his startling entrance as newly-reelected president of Earth, yet nobody said a word about it. Here's hoping she lived...
* LoopholeAbuse: How he got to run for president again, since no''body'' could have more than two terms, he got a new body. Bender's body, to be specific.
* PetTheDog: Subverted.
-->'''Nixon:''' Now look here, you drugged out communist! I paid for this body and I'd no sooner return it than I would my little cocker spaniel dog, Checkers.
-->'''Checkers' Head:''' Arf!
-->'''Nixon:''' Shut up, dammit!
* PresidentEvil: His political promises include selling children's organs to zoos for meat, using the poor as a cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking going into people's houses at night to wreck up the place.]]
* TakeThat: Serves as one against Nixon for the writers. Note that Nixon was made fun of semi-regularly on the first few seasons of WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons, until Nixon's death in the mid 1990s. A very huge and [[ItsPersonal personal one]] for West himself, who was drafted for the Vietnam War. He came up with the werewolf like mannerisms from watching one of Nixon's debates with Kennedy in 1960.
* VoodooShark: An in-universe example: In "Into The Wild Green Yonder", Fry finds out that Nixon staged the moon landing - [[spoiler:''on Venus'']].

-->Debut: ''"A Big Piece of Garbage"''
One of Professor Farnsworth's former Mars University graduate students, and his prized pupil before he turned against the professor and became his rival after receiving his idea the worst grade possible, [[FMinusMinus an A-]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Started off as this to the professor, and is undeniably more successful.
* TheBGrade: He turns against the professor upon receiving an A- due to penmanship counting on one of his assignments. After 100 years, he finally gets his revenge on Farnsworth by giving his new invention the worst grade imaginable, an A Minus Minus.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He started out as just a rival for the professor, but in situations such as those in ''Beast With a Billion Backs'', he tries agreeing with the professor on the issues at hand, though the professor ends up ignoring him. They eventually end up working together, and not all that reluctantly at one point.

-->Debut: ''"Insane in the Mainframe"''
A dangerously unstable serial bank robbing robot who was built by a team of engineers for the sole purpose of creating an insane robot. Appeared several times up until "The Six Million Dollar Mon", where [[spoiler: he is put to death. Twice. [[UnexplainedRecovery Though he eventually started appearing again]].]]
* AbusiveParents: His mother apparently welded him to the wall a few times as a child, which is implied to be the reason he is insane in his debut appearance.
* AxCrazy: A criminally insane, psychotic stab-bot.
* BackFromTheDead:
** [[spoiler:Resurrected in "The Six Million Dollar Mon" after he is put to death via electromagnetic chair, though he dies for a second time after eating a piece of Hermes skin that absorbed unbearable heat from [=LaBarbara's=] cooking]].
** [[spoiler: Later reappears in "Stench and Stenchibility" [[UnexplainedRecovery with no explanation]].]]
* BankRobbery: He is a serial bank robber, and hits the same bank three times in a row in his debut appearance.
* {{Catchphrase}}: His "Ha-HAA!". Usually said when attempting to stab something.
* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, he was capable of acting normal to the point of CasualDangerDialogue, but later appearances escalated his insanity to the point of [[TheDitz occasional gibberish]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: What, can't he visit his old friends and take them hostage?
* GoneHorriblyRight: Designed by a team of engineers to be an insane robot, though according to him, they failed.
* KarmicDeath: After taking over Hermes's robot body, he tried to eat his skin. [[spoiler:The end result is that he melts since the skin absorbed unbearable heat from [=LaBarbara's=] cooking]].
* KnifeNut
-->'''Roberto''': I was designed by a team of engineers attempting to build an insane robot but it seems, they failed!

[[caption-width-right:320:"Jam a bastard in it, you crap!"]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/TressMacNeille
-->Debut: ''"A Fishful of Dollars"''
Head of Mom Co and richest woman on earth, she is the overall villain of {{WesternAnimation/Futurama}}. It was also revealed that she was in a relationship with Professor Farnsworth in the past, but he left when he found out how evil she was. This happened several times, as he kept forgetting.
* AbusiveParents: Her favorite act of parenting to her kids? Slapping the hell out of them ''at the drop of a hat.'' When Walt and Larry where just toddlers, she used them as ''human shields'' during Farnsworth's explosive demonstration of dark matter.
* BigBad: She is the closest thing the series has to a main villain. Although the movies have their respective baddies, she returns in the third as the primary antagonist.
* BirthdayHater: She hates "Mother's Day" (a day when all the robots her company built show their affection), since her true love, Professor Farnsworth, left her after an argument. It's not technically her birthday, but it serves the same purpose (being a celebration centered around her).
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She presents herself to the public as a matronly grandmother, but in reality she's an incredibly evil and abusive old woman.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: She's a CCE trying to take over the world, who masquerades as a sweet, kindly old lady in public.
* DatingCatwoman: Professor Farnsworth has some history with Mom, which resurfaces in a few episodes.
* DistaffCounterpart: Basically a female version of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Mr. Burns]]. Which is why they hooked up in the CrisisCrossover comic book.
* EvilMatriarch: She provides the page image.
* EvilOldFolks: She hates everyone and everything, and has actually sent every robot in the world on a revolution against humans so that they could conquer the world for her.
* FatSuit: Used to keep up with her public appeal as an innocent grandma figure... then promptly discarded elsewhere to reveal a slender hag underneath.
* FauxAffablyEvil: A ruthless corporate raider and abusive parent who puts on a sweet old lady routine and fat suit for her TV ads. In her first appearance in "A Fishful of Anchovies", she drops the act when she finishes cutting a TV ad, and again when Fry gets in her way.
* GivenNameReveal: Everyone always called her "Mom," but when it was revealed that she and Zoidberg had a history, her casually addressed her as "Carol."
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: A modern version.
* {{Jerkass}}: Good Lord! She is '''RUTHLESS!'''
* KarmaHoudini: She never really pays for a lot of her actions. Most punishment she got was in ''Bender's Game'' where her plan to hoard dark matter was foiled when it was rendered useless.
* LeanAndMean: Lampshaded.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: It's suggested that she became so bitter because Farnsworth broke off with her 70 or so years ago. Though, granted, he broke it off because she was already doing some morally reprehensible stuff, so it's more of a case that Love Makes You ''Worse.''
* MamaBear: Sort of...
-->'''Mom:''' Nobody rips my kids off but me!
* NeverMessWithGranny: In spades. Although she is by no means a CoolOldLady, being firmy in EvilMatriarch camp.
* NiceCharacterMeanActor: In-universe.
* OneBadMother: As big a jerk as Mom is, just try not to say anything bad about her when your own mother happens to be in earshot. The results wouldn't be pretty. Turns out her real name is actually Carol.
* PetTheDog:
** Zoidberg is the only person she treats well. She was also willing to give him an expensive yeti head that Zoidberg needed for a coupon. It could be she was also trying to help the Professor as well.
** In a bit of a twisted example, she comforts Bender when he apologizes for not being able to exterminate humanity without being told to first.
** She dabbled in genetic engineering to cure a person of being a giant and create plants big enough to feed world hunger. She still intended to profit off the latter, but emphasized that the resulting plants would be so cheap that even the poor could afford them. She also cured Leela's mutations in gratitude for (accidentally) helping her perfect her work.
* RichBitch: She's an evil, extremely rich businesswoman.
* TakeOverTheWorld: When she's feeling cranky. "GO CONQUER EARTH, YOU BASTARDS!"
* {{Tsundere}}: The reason she's broken up and gotten back together with Professor Farnsworth several times over several decades.
* UngratefulBitch: She receives hundreds of thousands of heartfelt cards from her robotic 'children' every Mother's Day, but she uses them as material for her products without even reading them. (After checking inside for money, of course.)
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: She appears as a sweet, lovable old lady in public, but is really a CorruptCorporateExecutive. She may not always be planning to take over the world, but it is canon that she intends total global (or more) economic domination.

-->Debut: ''"A Fishful of Dollars"''
Mom's three sycophantic sons/henchmen in order of importance. Walt is the oldest and supposedly most intelligent - but even that isn't saying much. Larry is a snivelling yes-man to everything his mother says with an inferiority complex the size of New New York. And Igner is mentally retarded.
* BigBrotherBully: Walt towards his younger brothers, on multiple occasions.
* ButtMonkey: Larry, who is often abused by Mom and Walt, and Igner, who is usually assigned the worst jobs by his brother.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In their debut episode, Walt was virtually the same, but Larry seemed to [[ButtMonkey be at the bottom rung]] while Igner was silent, but normal (barring a few hints of crossdressing). Larry now seems to be the OnlySaneMan while Igner is a full-on TheDitz.
* ComicTrio: Walt is the schemer, Larry is powerless, and Igner is stupid.
* TheDitz: Igner is the dumbest of the three, and often displays the symptoms of mental retardation.
* TheDragon: Theoretically, Walt to Mom - although he doesn't actually have any say in any of Mom's plans, he does have the authority to slap his brothers around.
* DumbassHasAPoint: "Bender's Game", in-universe.
-->'''Walt:''' Did you see anyone?
-->'''Igner:''' Me?
-->'''Walt:''' Yes, you. You're the only one here.
-->'''Igner:''' If I'm the only one here, how could I see anyone?
-->'''Larry:''' He's got a point, Walt.
-->'''Walt:''' So does my knee! (''knees Larry'')
* ExtremeDoormat: Larry is submissive to his older brother and mother, and ApologisesALot even when it's not his fault.
* {{Expy}}: Their antics often mirror those of Larry, Curly, and Moe of Film/TheThreeStooges. When Mom slaps them, it's dubbed with either the original Stooges multi-person slap sound or a very close match.
* HeroicBastard: [[spoiler: Igner's father Farnsworth wasn't married, and though not a hero [[DumbIsGood Igner's the nicest of his siblings]] ]]
* {{Jerkass}}: Walt is the most similar to Mom, in personality.
* LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler:Igner is Farnsworth's son, and Walt is Wernstrom's son. Larry hasn't been clarified, but is probably also Wernstrom's son, since the colour of his hair is the same as Wernstrom's when he was younger.]]
* NiceMeanAndInbetween: Walt is the mean one, Igner is the nice one, and Larry is the inbetween.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: ''Igner'' of all people did this in ''Bender's Game'' to his brothers, which raises some questions about his usual behaviour...
* OedipusComplex: Walt once voiced the desire to marry a woman just like his mother. The worrying part was that the looks his brothers gave him didn't display them seeing a problem with this - and possibly even agreeing.
* OnlySaneMan: It's hard to tell, thanks to Walt's crazy and idiotic plans, but other than those he does seem to be the only sane man in the trio.
* PunchClockVillain: The brothers have had occasional appearances outside of Mom's schemes, and it seems that when Mom isn't around, the three of them lead almost normal lives (Larry in particular was once seen queuing up to use Bender's dating service).
* PuttingOnTheReich: They seem to go to the same tailor as the [[StarWars Galactic Empire]] and the [[{{Series/Firefly}} Union of Allied Planets]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Overclockwise," where Walt, Larry and Igner are playing ''World of World War II 3'' against Fry, Cubert and Bender ''as'' the [[ThoseWackyNazis Trope Namers]].
* ShrinkingViolet: Larry is a spineless, NervousWreck who finds it difficult to even say aloud words like "bra".
* SiblingsInCrime: They are the primary henchmen of Mom's business.
* SissyVillain: All of them (particularly Larry) qualify.
* TerribleTrio: Though they're not completely incompetent, Mom treats them as if they are. Their original plan to get Fry's [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment PIN number]] only worked because Fry was being... [[IdiotHero well, Fry]].
* TheUnfavourite: While Mom is mean to all three of them, it's pretty clear [[ButtMonkey Larry]] is her least favorite son.
* VillainousFriendship: There are odd moments they have when [[Main/BigBrotherBully Walt isn't slapping them around]]. They hang out and play video games with each other, for example, and seem to get along when off work.

* CrazyPrepared: Oh, so you think you can destroy the Robot Devil? He's got an endless closet of replacement bodies.
* DealWithTheDevil: He does this. A lot.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: His voice is based on Hans Conried's portrayal of Captain Hook in ''Disney/PeterPan''.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Proves at the end of "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" that despite TheDevilIsALoser trope applying to him most of the time, he is extremely cunning and isn't to be underestimated.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Given that there is a "Fairness in Hell Act" dating back to the 23rd century, he's probably this.
* {{Satan}}: Apparently when robots started getting religion, it was felt that only a simulation of Satan would keep them on the straight and narrow.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl
* SissyVillain: At one point, he summoned the fire department to his office (which is in Robot Hell, full of fire and brimstone and lava) because his trash can was on fire. Note that the firemen (the Planet Express Crew) had to get through a wall of it just to get into the office.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Was his line, and is the TropeNamer

* {{Badass}}: An evil robotic bazooka-wielding Santa. Not nice, but definitely Badass.
* BadassSanta: Heck one song they sing about him is called "Santa Claus Is Gunning You Down."
* BadBoss: The midget Neptunians who slave in his toy factory on Neptune are starved and mistreated.
* BadSanta: A recurring homicidal robot villain with nigh-unachievable standards for "nice". For example, mafia thugs beating up a shopkeeper for protection money? That's naughty. But a shopkeeper refusing to pay mobsters protection money? Equally naughty. Scruffy the Janitor apparently gets on the "naughty" list simply by picking his nose.
* BigBad: In any Christmas episode.
* DisproportionateRetribution: If anybody does something he consider "naughty" he feels they need to die.
* TheDreaded: The entire planet Earth is terrified of him and won't go outside until X-Mas has passed.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Shows in one episode where he invites Bender to join him on his reign of terror after he took over for him, only to kick him off the sleigh not long afterwards.
* {{Jerkass}}: He's hostile to (nearly) everyone (except Zoidberg, [[PetTheDog who's the only person on his nice list]]).
* KarmaHoudini: Mainly because it is really, really hard to kill him. Everyone in the show's universe treats his annual visit as a way of life - or, sometimes, cause of death - that can't be avoided.
* KnightTemplar: He has been programmed to determine who is naughty and who is nice. Unfortunately, his standards for nice are set too high - everyone except Dr. Zoidberg is considered naughty, and to make matters worse, he ain't limited to putting coal in your stocking. He's more likely to turn you to charcoal instead.
* LogicBomb: Subverted - he was built with paradox-proof crumple zones to prevent him from being destroyed by them.
* MoralSociopathy: A KnightTemplar example. He has a very strict code of morals. But he doesn't really seem to care for other people. He only applies these ethics to other people and only when they do something wrong.
* PetTheDog: He treats Zoidberg very well in contrast to the other characters.
* Really700YearsOld: Has made X-Mas horrible for 200 years straight.
* TheSociopath: ''Worse'' than Bender.
* VillainDecay: In-universe in ''Bender's Big Score''. His heart wasn't in it anymore.

[[folder:Lrrr and Ndnd (of the planet Omicron Persei 8!)]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Lrrr_and_Ndnd_1341.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:"It is true, what they say: men are from Omicron Persei 7, women are from Omicron Persei 9!"]]
-->Voiced by Creator/MauriceLaMarche and Creator/TressMacNeille
-->Debut: ''"When Aliens Attack"''
The rulers of the planet Omicron Persei 8, Lrrr and Ndnd ([[ItsPronouncedTroPAY pronounced "Lerrr" and "Nen-DEN-duh"]]) are typically presented as working towards conquering other planets to expand their empire. When not conquering other planets, they act like a remarkably stereotypical couple that have been married for years, watching television, having petty arguments and the like. Their race, the Omicronians, are capable of producing several millions of (delicious) children, an asset which allows them to conquer many planets, as mentioned above.
* AliensSpeakingEnglish: They seem to have their own language (like when Ndnd was counting to the little Omicronian in "The Problem With Popplers") but for the convenience of us (and probably the writers), they always speak English. [[FridgeBrilliance However they DO spend most of their free time watching 20th/21st century Earth television broadcasts...]]
* BadassCape: Lrrr, and pretty much standard attire for Omicronian men in positions of power.
* BigBad: Apart from Mom, the Omicronians are another selection of characters often played as villains.
* BlackComedyRape: A human woman does this to him in "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences".
* CatchPhrase: "I am Lrrr, ''ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!''" Said even to people already ''very'' familiar with him. And when he's trying to [[PaperThinDisguise hide his identity]].
--> '''Lrrr:''' Oh, I'm just... some guy... ''[[VerbalTic ruler of the planet Omicron Persei Eight!]]''
** According to ''T For Terrestrial'', this is a common trait among Omicronians.
--> '''Drrr''': I am Drrr, Doctor of the Planet Omicron Persei 8!
* CompensatingForSomething: Lrrr helpfully informs a plastic surgeon that his horns are a sign of virility... and that [[BizarreAlienBiology they house his testicles]]. He's promptly recommended to get horn extensions.
* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: A human girl with an alien fetish forces Lrrr to have sex with her. He cries about it the next day, but you know, it's (supposed to be) [[PlayedForLaughs funny.]]
* DomesticAbuse: More specifically, DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale. PlayedForLaughs, of course.
* EvilIsHammy: This concept of ham-style acting '''confuses and''' '''''INFURIATES LRRR!'''''
* EvilSoundsDeep: Lrr. In fact it seems that Maurice [=LaMarche=] uses the (exact) same voice for Morbo.
%%* ExtremeOmnivore
* HenpeckedHusband: Oh, God, is he ever. In "Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences", Ndnd is '''mad''' at finding that Leela is more successful at nagging and forcing him to do stuff than she is (and Leela was trying to help him with his marriage).
* IsThisThingStillOn: Lrrr sets about scratching his crotch once he thinks the camera has stopped rolling on his announcement to eat a human in compensation for all the children consumed by humans.
* ItsPronouncedTroPAY: In the first few episodes featuring her, she's "nen-DEN-duh". In the later half, she's "Nn-duh-NN-duh".
* JustEatHim: Lrrr's prefered methods of dealing with conflict.
* NoIndoorVoice: Omicronians in general, but Lrrr is the best example.
* PaperThinDisguise: Lrrr tries to use one when buying an aphrodisiac in "Spanish Fry". What takes the cake is that when the video is shown to Leela, Fry, and Bender, Leela recognizes Lrrr before he even says a word.
* ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: "This concept of 'wuv' CONFUSES AND INFURIATES US!
* VillainsOutShopping: They're even introduced to ''Futurama'' as demanding to be shown the final episode of a long-lost Earth television show, ''[[{{Ally McBeal}} Single Female Lawyer]]''.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Lrrr's father.

[[folder:President Richard Nixon('s head)]]
[[quoteright:320:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/President_Nixon_4324.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:"If there's one thing Nixon is known for, it's class. Let's cut this turd loose!"]]
-->Voiced by: Creator/BillyWest
-->Debut: ''"Space Pilot 3000"''
[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The head of former U.S. President]] UsefulNotes/RichardNixon. He first appeared in the series premiere in a hall of heads of presidential figures, getting knocked over by Fry - which shatters his head jar and causes him to go into a frenzy. However, he gets a much bigger role when he decides to bodyjack Bender and exploit a Constitutional loophole to win an election, but gets cornered in Watergate and has to fork over Bender's body or let him play a recording of a psychotic rant he just spouted off. Still, Nixon wins the election (due to the large number of robot votes he got by sporting another, insanely huge robot body) and becomes President of Earth again - a surprisingly ''decent'' one... [[TakeThat go figure.]] He has since become a recurring character, and most often plays the PresidentEvil role. Nixon also has Spiro Agnew at his side as vice president again - though he's in the exact opposite predicament of all the other 20th-century cameo characters - an unintelligible body without a head.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The framing device for ''Saturday Morning Fun Pit'' revolves around him and the headless body of Agnew watching Saturday morning cartoons.
* AscendedExtra: Once a one-time character, Nixon's head is now the recurring president of Earth.
* BerserkButton: ''Do not'' smash his containment jar or he will go aggro on you, biting like a rabid jackal.
--> "That's it - you just made ''my '''list.'''''"
* {{Bowdlerise}}: In-Universe example in ''Saturday Morning Fit Pit'' during the [[GIJoe G I Zapp]] cartoon where he hilariously tries to dub over or tone down the more violent scenes of the cartoon until it becomes too much even for him and he pulls the plug.
* CardCarryingVillain: He loves doing evil.
* CatchPhrase "Aroooooo!"
%%* ChekhovsGunman
* ComedicSociopathy: He's presented as a head with a bottomless appetite for evil. Although he seems more interested in making the threats than doing the deeds.
-->I'll sell all of our children's organs to zoos for meat! Then I'll break into peoples' houses at night and wreck up the place! [[EvilLaugh Muhahahaha!]]
* DoIReallySoundLikeThat: When Bender plays back Nixon's incriminating rant about voters in "A Head in the Polls".
-->'''Nixon:''' My God, I really sound like that? I thought my voice had more of a Clark Gable quality.
* {{Eagleland}}: Type II.
* EvilIsHammy: '''"NIXON'S BACK!!!"'''
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Justified in-universe in that he's gone insane since the present.
* {{Jerkass}}: A trait that is exaggerated from Nixon's actual persona. In-universe the exaggeration is explained as a result of SanitySlippage from being stuck as a head in a jar at the head museum and unable to do anything important anymore.
* KarmaHoudini: Among his glaring list of wrongdoings, the biggest is flattening his secretary under the gargantuan boot of his super-sized robot body when he made his startling entrance as newly-reelected president of Earth, yet nobody said a word about it. Here's hoping she lived...
* LoopholeAbuse: How he got to run for president again, since no''body'' could have more than two terms, he got a new body. Bender's body, to be specific.
* PetTheDog: Subverted.
-->'''Nixon:''' Now look here, you drugged out communist! I paid for this body and I'd no sooner return it than I would my little cocker spaniel dog, Checkers.
-->'''Checkers' Head:''' Arf!
-->'''Nixon:''' Shut up, dammit!
* PresidentEvil: His political promises include selling children's organs to zoos for meat, using the poor as a cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking going into people's houses at night to wreck up the place.]]
* TakeThat: Serves as one against Nixon for the writers. Note that Nixon was made fun of semi-regularly on the first few seasons of WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons, until Nixon's death in the mid 1990s. A very huge and [[ItsPersonal personal one]] for West himself, who was drafted for the Vietnam War. He came up with the werewolf like mannerisms from watching one of Nixon's debates with Kennedy in 1960.
* VoodooShark: An in-universe example: In "Into The Wild Green Yonder", Fry finds out that Nixon staged the moon landing - [[spoiler:''on Venus'']].

[[caption-width-right:254:It's time you left science to the 120-year-olds!]]
-->Voiced by: David Herman
-->Debut: ''"A Big Piece of Garbage"''
One of Professor Farnsworth's former Mars University graduate students, and his prized pupil before he turned against the professor and became his rival after receiving his idea the worst grade possible, [[FMinusMinus an A-]].
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Started off as this to the professor, and is undeniably more successful.
* TheBGrade: He turns against the professor upon receiving an A- due to penmanship counting on one of his assignments. After 100 years, he finally gets his revenge on Farnsworth by giving his new invention the worst grade imaginable, an A Minus Minus.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He started out as just a rival for the professor, but in situations such as those in ''Beast With a Billion Backs'', he tries agreeing with the professor on the issues at hand, though the professor ends up ignoring him. They eventually end up working together, and not all that reluctantly at one point.
* {{Jerkass}}: Costs him his Academy Prize.
-->'''Mayor Poopenmeyer:''' I now present [Professor Farnsworth] with the Academy Prize, which we confiscated from Doctor Wernstrom after it became apparent that he was a jackass.
%%* OutOfFocus

[[caption-width-right:337:Ha-HAA!]]
-->Voiced by: David Herman
-->Debut: ''"Insane in the Mainframe"''
A dangerously unstable serial bank robbing robot who was built by a team of engineers for the sole purpose of creating an insane robot. Appeared several times up until "The Six Million Dollar Mon", where [[spoiler: he is put to death. Twice. [[UnexplainedRecovery Though he eventually started appearing again]].]]
* AbusiveParents: His mother apparently welded him to the wall a few times as a child, which is implied to be the reason he is insane in his debut appearance.
* AxCrazy: A criminally insane, psychotic stab-bot.
* BackFromTheDead:
** [[spoiler:Resurrected in "The Six Million Dollar Mon" after he is put to death via electromagnetic chair, though he dies for a second time after eating a piece of Hermes skin that absorbed unbearable heat from [=LaBarbara's=] cooking]].
** [[spoiler: Later reappears in "Stench and Stenchibility" [[UnexplainedRecovery with no explanation]].]]
* BankRobbery: He is a serial bank robber, and hits the same bank three times in a row in his debut appearance.
* {{Catchphrase}}: His "Ha-HAA!". Usually said when attempting to stab something.
* {{Flanderization}}: In his first appearance, he was capable of acting normal to the point of CasualDangerDialogue, but later appearances escalated his insanity to the point of [[TheDitz occasional gibberish]].
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: What, can't he visit his old friends and take them hostage?
* GoneHorriblyRight: Designed by a team of engineers to be an insane robot, though according to him, they failed.
* KarmicDeath: After taking over Hermes's robot body, he tried to eat his skin. [[spoiler:The end result is that he melts since the skin absorbed unbearable heat from [=LaBarbara's=] cooking]].
* KnifeNut
-->'''Roberto''': I was designed by a team of engineers attempting to build an insane robot but it seems, they failed!
-->'''Vending Machine''': Um, actually *Roberto stabs him*
* MoodSwinger: He can go from calm and friendly-ish to manic screaming at the drop of a hat, and then right back.
-->'''Roberto:''' ''(after escaping the sanitarium)'' I wanna repay you.
-->'''Bender:''' Ah, it was nothing.
-->'''Roberto:''' ''IT WAS NOT NOTHING!''
* RoboticPsychopath: He was designed to be an insane robot.
* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: He is very obviously killed by the end of "The Six Million Dollar Mon", but was apparently reincarnated ''again'' sometime before "Stench and Stenchibility". Possibly that Backup Unit Bender mentioned robots having in an earlier episode.]]
