Cubert Farnsworth is Professor Hubert Farnsworth's clone from the fictional animated television series Futurama. He was created from a growth on the Professor's back in 2989. Cubert differs from the Professor in appearance due to his nose being squashed up against the wall of his cloning tube from being left there too long. His hair is reminiscent of his great-great-great-etc. grand-uncle Fry.

Character

Cubert is pompous, arrogant, and very rude to the other members of Planet Express. Unsurprisingly, he is unpopular with the crew. He will frequently shout "That's preposterous!" However, he admits that he is subject to the ignorance of a child's mind; this is demonstrated in his frequent act of imitating whatever is on his favorite show, All My Circuits, and his belief that the addition of flame decals to the Planet Express Ship would increase its speed. Cubert may be missing a toe.[2] It is mentioned by Bender that he is a bed-wetter.[1] All My Circuits All My Circuits is a robot soap-opera set in the fictional universe of Futurama. ...

Friends

Awesome Express

In "The Route of All Evil", Cubert and Dwight teamed up to take over Planet Express for their own delivery company- Awesome Express. Dwight discovers that the Professor declared himself legally dead as a tax dodge, so Cubert inherits his building and his space ship, forcing the Professor and Hermes out of the job. The rest of the crew are taken on as paper-boys. When the duo realized that they had promised to deliver more than they could, their parents help them out. After apologizing to Horrible Gelatinous Blob for breaking his window, Cubert and Dwight realize that they should give up and let their parents do all the managing, after they (Hermes and the Professor) were "on the ass end of an ass kicking." In this episode, it is revealed that he is 12. The Route of All Evil is episode twelve in season three of the Futurama DVDs. ...
