(voiced by Billy West) - after a millennium of being a disembodied head, Nixon has lost more than a few of his marbles. After the death of Earth President McNeal, Nixon was elected President of Earth in season 2 by a margin of a single vote, defeating cloned opponents John Jackson and Jack Johnson. During the election campaign, he used Bender's body (which Bender had sold for money) and gained huge support from the robots. He returned Bender's body after the Planet Express crew taped his plans to "go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place" and to sell children's organs to zoos for meat. Nixon won the election by obtaining a giant robotic body. One vote could have cost Nixon the presidency if Fry (or any other main character, except for non-voting felon Bender) remembered to vote. As President of Earth, Nixon conducts a violent and aggressive foreign policy, frequently entering into wars which have little or no purpose, and which occasionally backfire, leading to Earth being invaded by alien forces. Nixon's head is a common character throughout the series, providing humour through his 1960's outlook on life and his aggressive, unpredictable persona.
Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. ...

Lrrr (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - ruler of the planet Omicron Persei VIII, located 1,000 light years from Earth. On numerous occasions Lrrr has threatened to destroy the Earth as a whole, as well as members of the Planet Express crew personally. Lrrr something of a parody of all cliched "green-skinned space invaders." His wife is named Ndnd (voiced by Tress MacNeille), and the two appear to enjoy a relationship which goes through periodic love-hate cycles. Lrrr and his inner circle are devout fans of 20th- and 21st-century Earth television, except for animated shows. Appeared in "Anthology of Interest Part II" as the ruler of planet Nintenduu 64. He purchased Fry's nose on the black market as an aphrodisiac named "Human Horn" in the episode "Spanish Fry." Whenever he is seen onscreen, Lrrr tries to appear threatening and powerful, but his intimidating appearance is always foiled by him performing some banal and humorous activity, such as adjusting a slanted painting or scratching his rear on live television. His catchphrase is "I am Lrrr of the planet Omicron Persei VIII!" A young Omicronian named Jrrr may be his and Ndnd's son.

Professor Ogden Wernstrom (voiced by David Herman) - Rival of Professor Farnsworth (who usually greets Ogden with a contemptful "Wernstrom!") who resents the "A-" grade Farnsworth gave him for sloppy penmanship when Wernstrom was completing his senior year. In 3000, Wernstrom fulfilled his feud with Farnsworth when Wernstrom beat Farnsworth in the Annual Inventors' Symposium and gave Farnsworth's Smell-o-scope an "A - -", even though the Smell-o-scope went on to save the Earth from a giant mass of waste in orbit from the 21st Century. He was later given the task of stopping the great mass of trash when Farnsworth incorrectly set a doomsday clock to explode the mass. After being given tenure, a big research grant, a lab, and five graduate students (at least three of them Chinese by his request), he left the city of New New York to its doom (since he had tenure, he couldn't be fired). Wernstrom's Inventors' Symposium award was stripped from him after Farnsworth and the Planet Express crew managed to save New New York, thus prompting another promise of revenge, "even if it takes me another hundred years!". Wernstrom also appears at the Professor's 150th birthday party. Wernstrom has another appearance in the episode Anthology of Interest II, where he is seen in the audience of the Nobel Prize ceremony. He later devises a plan to combat global warming with a giant space mirror in "Crimes of the Hot", but after this goes awry he teams up with President Nixon to use the mirror to deactivate every robot on Earth - the robots having been revealed as the source of greenhouse gasses. His final appearance was in "Obsoletely Fabulous" presenting his killbot at Roboticon 3003.

Morgan Proctor (Voiced by Nora Dunn)
Morgan Proctor is a rank 19 bureaucrat. She appears in the episode "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back" when she is sent to inspect Hermes for possible promotion. However, after he almost commits suicide, she sends him on paid vacation (the worst penalty possible for a bureaucrat) and takes over as beaurocrat of Planet Express. She has an affair with Fry, as he is such a untidy slob unlike the neat, obsessive people she is surrounded by. When Bender finds out, she removes his brain and sends it to be filed in "the master pile", where it will presumably be untouched for years. She is demoted when Hermes uncovers an incorrectly-stamped file from her prom date. She is seen along with other of Fry's ex-girlfriends at the funeral in the episode The Sting.

Morbo (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - A news monster for √2 News, Entertainment and Alien Invasion Tonight, Good Morning Earth, and other shows on the √2 Television Network. Morbo is actually an advance scout for an alien invasion, but does not bother to be subtle about it and drops obvious hints of his species' violent invasion plans, and frequently expresses his hatred for humanity. Morbo has a great love for Lipps Inc's song "Funkytown". He apparently has something hideous where his chest is. Morbo is, interestingly (although perhaps not surprisingly), good friends with President Richard Nixon. He has not made an appearance without mentioning either how Earth will be destroyed or his hatred for humanity. He describes his family as "belligerent and numerous". As a TV host who hates humans, he often makes comments such as: Image File history File links Picture of Morbo from Futurama. ...

- "Puny earthlings were shocked today to learn that a ball of garbage will destroy their pathetic city of New New York."
- "Pathetic humans, prepare to write down the recipe!"

Morbo's character design is based on the aliens from the 1957 science fiction movie Invasion of the Saucer Men. He has a wife (or girlfriend) of the same species, seen briefly in "Three Hundred Big Boys" and "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings". Morbo speaks to her with his characteristic hostility, but she pays no attention. He refers to his family as "belligerent and numerous."

May death come quickly to his enemies!" (on Richard Nixon's election). Linda appears to be vapid and unintelligent, providing comic relief to Morbo's violent comments. She also flashed her chest to Zap Brannigan in exchange for some beads on Freedom Day.

Cubert is pompous, arrogant, and very rude to the other members of Planet Express. Unsurprisingly, he is unpopular. His sayings include, "That's preposterous!" and "No, that's what being a magical elf is all about." Cubert is seen in only a few episodes, due to his attending a boarding school, along with Hermes' son Dwight. According to the DVD commentaries he was the first character to be designed.

Scruffy (voiced by David Herman) - The Planet Express janitor. A recurring joke is that because he interacts so little with the rest of the employees, nobody remembers ever seeing him before. In "Future Stock", it is revealed that he has vast holdings of Planet Express stock. He is lazy and can usually be found in the basement of the building, watching the boiler (but never actually fixing it) and reading an edition of Zero-G Juggs or National Pornographic (a reference to National Geographic magazine). Frequently refers to himself in the third person and speaks in a voice reminiscent of Karl Childers, the protagonist of the movie Sling Blade. In later episodes it is revealed that Scruffy is actually quite intelligent and can concoct brilliant plans almost immediately. Scruffy is an ex-con, stating: "Prison ain't so bad. You can lift weights and make sangria in the terlet. Course it's shank or be shanked."

Professor Hubert Farnsworth, Fry's great-great-great-...-great-nephew, is presumably a direct descendant of Philip J. Fry II, since Fry's only sibling was Yancy, and as far as we know Philip J. Fry II was Yancy's only child.

At an undefined point, their ancestor Sir Reginald Wong bought half of Mars from the native Martians for only one bead (a reference to the American legend that Manhattan Island was purchased for a bag of beads).

Elzar (voiced by John DiMaggio) - A famous four-armed Neptunian chef, with his own New New York restaurant ("Elzar's Fine Cuisine", a regular set-piece in the series), and television show. Elzar is a parody of the celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, while his physique is a nod to the four-armed television chef of The Star Wars Holiday Special. Bender adores Elzar's cooking, though once he challenged him to an Iron Cook battle (and won - but Bender refused the title of "Iron Chef," instead accepting "Zinc Saucier", which he made up, and which came with double prize money). Elzar is crass and unpleasant, and has a very high opinion of himself. Elzar's favorite cooking implement is his spice weasel, a rodent-like creature which propels a cloud of spices from its snout upon having its body squeezed, which he uses to "knock it up a notch", with his customary "BAM!". Both "kick it up a notch" and "BAM!" are catchphrases of Emeril Lagasse.

Judge Ron Whitey (voiced by Billy West) – Judge at "Famous Original Ray's Superior Court", who presided over most of the court cases where the main characters appear. In "A Tale of Two Santas" he sentenced Bender to death, he divorced Fry and Leela in "Time Keeps on Slippin'" and in "Insane in the Mainframe" he sent Fry and Bender to the Institute for Criminally Insane Robots. Judge Whitey is very rich and seems to lack morals, and, in "Three Hundred Big Boys", he tells a joke about having cut off his butler's foot. Whitey is preoccupied with money and wealth, but did not know what a bank was until his caddy/chauffeur informed him that "a bank is a place where people put money that isn't properly invested." Judge Whitey previously ruled that "the crime of being poor" was a mental illness.

Hyperchicken (or "The Chicken Lawyer") (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - A 6-foot-plus blue-green rooster attorney with a pince-nez perched on his beak. He features a strong Southern American accent, reminiscent of Andy Griffith, Matlock, or especially Foghorn Leghorn. He is a terrible lawyer, and routinely loses cases for the main characters. He keeps his children in a suitcase and has been seen crowing on top of a courthouse. He was once hired while imprisoned and awaiting a trial for incompetence; hiring him as a legal representative was enough grounds for Judge Whitey to accept a plea of insanity. Hyperchicken also becomes very frightened if the word "badger" is mentioned. May also be a play on the literary character of Atticus Finch. Image File history File links Hyperchicken. ...

The Hypnotoad A large toad which is possibly alien, mutated, and/or genetically engineered, it has oscillating multicolored eyes, and emits a strange humming sound. The sound, called "Angry Machine," was used as a temporary sound by the show's animators, and suited the Hypnotoad animation so much that it was used in the actual episode ("The Day the Earth Stood Stupid"), in which the Toad used its hypnotic powers to easily win a pet competition. The Hypnotoad has the power to hypnotize anyone it wants at will. It seems that the Hypnotoad is unique, or that it is perhaps the only example of its species living on Earth. In "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV", it is revealed that the Hypnotoad stars in its own television show, Everybody Loves Hypnotoad, which consists entirely of a non-moving shot of the Hypnotoad staring at the camera. Fry claims that the show "has been going downhill since season three". The show's title is a reference to the sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond. Image File history File links Hypnotoad_animated. ...

It is possible that the Hypnotoad is a reference to the Dnyarri, or "Talking Pets", a race of powerful telepaths from the Star Control video game series, each member of which was powerful enough to mind-control an entire planet full of sentient beings. They looked like ugly brown toads with pulsating, oversized heads, and the degenerate form of the Dnyarri is a highly atrophied creature with little more than a head and tiny atrophied limbs. Unlike the Hypnotoad, however, the Dynarri could speak with characters and had a weakness in the form of a shield which could block their mental energies, whereas it seems every race is equally susceptible to the Hypnotoad's zombifying influence.-1...

Brainspawn An evil race of flying telekinetic brains that came into existence one millisecond after the Big Bang. Their main enemies are the Nibblonians. Their aeons-long goal is to destroy all other intelligent life, since the thoughts of other beings "screech at them like the forced laughs of a billion art-house movie patrons." Their method of operation is to swarm a planet, using their "stupefaction fields" to render all inhabitants too stupid to resist. Then they absorb the planet's collected knowledge and destroy it. Psychokinesis (literally mind-movement) or PK is the more commonly used term today for what in the past was known as telekinesis (literally distant-movement). It refers to the psi ability to influence the behavior of matter by mental intention (or possibly some other aspect of mental activity) alone. ...

No-one affected by the Brainspawn's stupefaction field remembers it and Fry's memory was erased by Nibbler, thus no human is aware that the Brainspawn exist.

Horrible Gelatinous Blob
 Horrible Gelatinous Blob in Futurestock (voiced by Maurice LaMarche) A three-eyed green translucent ill-tempered alien. He contemptuously refers to humanoids as "solids", ridiculing their one-way digestive system.

He also makes a brief appearance in "The Problem With Popplers" as a customer at Fishy Joe's. Later, he is one of the unsatisfied customers on Cubert's and Dwight's paper route. He has a son who regularly bullies Cubert and Dwight, frequently using a miniature black hole to reduce their lunches to a singularity. He once beat Hermes and Professor Farnsworth nearly to death, though he later apologized. Mr. Blob is later revealed to be a stock trader at the InterGalactic Stock Exchange, in orbit around Earth.
