[[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.

However, that's also because they consider themselves the "duly elected" mobsters of the union, and Donbot is incensed that the money is being given to scabs, rather than to ''him''.

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.
