[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/orangutan1.png]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidHerman\\
'''Debut:''' "A Clockwork Origin"

A superintelligent orangutan scientist. However, he frequently advocates for various kinds of pseudoscience, often in opposition to Professor Farnsworth.

----
* DomesticatedDinosaurs: He presents a painting of a human riding a dinosaur as "evidence" of creationism at a science museum, much to Farnsworth's dismay.
* EruditeOrangutan: He provides the current page image for this trope, and acts as a subversion of it by using his education to push pseudoscience and even religion.
* Expy: Of [[Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes Dr. Zaius]].
* TheFundamentalist: In his first appearance, he says that evolution is a lie, and that all life was created by a "almighty Creature in the sky." After the Professor creates and documents a robot society that evolves from single-chip organisms to dinosaurs to androids to extracorporeal beings, he modifies his stance more towards evolution by intelligent design, which is also a pseudoscientific trope.
* LargeHam: Anytime he makes a proclamation, it will be in a dramatic, booming voice.
* PatrioticFervor: Insists that all of his ancestors were not monkeys, but "hard working, patriotic orangutans."
* StrawCharacter: He basically shows up any time the writers want to lampoon pseudoscience and religion, most notably as a stand-in for young-earth creationists and anti-vaxxers.

* 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.]] He also keeps up his predecessor's habit of starting pointless wars against defenceless enemies for no reason whatsoever.

** Robot Santa suffers what may be his most humiliating defeat yet in “I Know What You Did Next Xmas”. He gets kidnapped by a time-travelling Bender and Zoidberg who tie him up with Xmas tree lights, and they lock him up in an old meat locker upon returning to the present. Then when he breaks out and attempts to kill the two, he slips on a puddle of Zoidberg's "dumpster nog" and gets electrocuted by Xmas tree lights, short-circuiting him out. Finally he gets dismantled by Bender and Zoidberg as they try to dispose of his body, leaving him nothing but a head as he reactivates.
