- Main article: Zapp Brannigan
(voiced by Billy West) - Captain of the Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP) starship Nimbus, Capt. Brannigan is incompetent and cocky. He envisions himself a "ladies' man" yet comes off as Captain Kirk doing an impersonation of William Shatner. He constantly mispronounces words, like Champagne (Brannigan pronounces it "Sham-pa-gen"). In short, he is an insufferable idiot and seems to be obsessed with velour. He takes great pleasure in giving his faithful sidekick, Kif, the most humiliating orders possible. Zapp Brannigan is a character on the animated series, Futurama. ...

- Main article: Kif Kroker
(voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - Alien assistant to Captain Zapp Brannigan and first officer of the Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP) starship Nimbus. Constantly exasperated by Captain Brannigan's deflection of blame and obscene requests, he lacks the self-confidence to stand up for himself. Instead of a skeleton, he is supported by a system of fluid-filled bladders. He can stick to walls like a gecko, shed his skin like a snake and blend in with his surroundings like a chameleon. He began dating Amy Wong in season 3, and gave birth to their tadpoles (although the maternal DNA originally came from Leela) on his homeplanet Amphibios 9 in season 5.

- Main article: Nibbler (Futurama)
(voiced by Frank Welker) - a small, three-eyed, black-skinned alien found by Leela on the planet Vergon 6, and kept by her as a pet. He has a voracious appetite, and can instantly consume creatures much larger than himself. He produces dark matter droppings used as rocket fuel. It is eventually revealed that he is a Nibblonian operative, sent to Earth as part of a mission to stop an evil race of giant brains. "We live long and are celebrated poopers!" It is later revealed that he was the one who caused Fry to be cryogenically frozen (and if you pay close attention to the first episode you can see his shadow when Fry falls into the cryogenic freezer). However, his true identity and intelligence are only important in a few episodes; for the rest he is simply a stupid, gluttonous pet.

(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. Incidentally, he returned Bender's body to Bender 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. The Planet Express crew made a deal that Nixon would get the tape in exchange for returning Bender's body. However, Nixon won the election by obtaining a giant robotic body. One vote could have cost Nixon the presidency if Leela (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.

Mom (voiced by Tress MacNeille) - The bitter owner (or 99.7% majority shareholder) of Momcorp, one of the largest industrial conglomerates known to Man, with subsidiaries ranging from Mom's Friendly Robot Company to Mom's Old-Fashioned Video Surveillance Unit. One of the richest people on Earth. She maintains a public image of being a sweet, matronly figure through use of a fat suit and talented acting, when in fact she is emaciated, foul-mouthed, and malevolent. Her sons Walt, Larry, and Ignar assist her in her endeavors (and each have an equal share of the remaining 0.3% of the shares). She was once romantically involved with Professor Farnsworth over 70 years ago, but their breakup left her even more bitter. She appears to be based on the villain "Mom" (Kate Murtagh) from Dan Aykroyd's film Doctor Detroit where she is the owner of a limousine service. Just like Mom's henchmen in Doctor Detroit, Futurama Mom's sons all wear grey chauffeur outfits.

Mom's Sons
 Mom's sons, left to right: Ignar, Larry and Walt Mom is frequently accompanied by three sons: Walt (Maurice LaMarche), Larry (David Herman) and Ignar (John DiMaggio). Of the three, Walt is the tallest and most intelligent, Ignar the least intelligent (sometimes to the point of appearing retarded). They each own 0.1% of Momcorp. Mom maintains discipline by slapping her sons, sometimes all three with one swing. Walt is second in the hierarchy and sometimes slaps his brothers. They are all fiercely loyal to (and likely deeply afraid of) their mother, though they did take indirect action to stop her when she made all robots rebel, threatening to doom Earth. Walt's desire is to marry a woman like Mom.

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 is 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 Nintendu 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! Ruler of the planet Omicron Persei VIII." A young Omicronian named Jrrr may be his and Ndnd's son.

He appears on the five-hundred dollar bill. By the year 3000, he claims to have invented the environment and is the author of Earth in the Balance (and the much more popular Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth). Gore's contribution to the show is likely attributable to the fact that his daughter, Kristin, was a writer for the show.

Professor Ogden Wernstrom (voiced by David Herman) - Rival of Professor Farnsworth (who usally greets Ogden with an contemptful "Wernstrom!") who resents the "A-" grade Farnsworth gave him for sloppiness 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 year 2000. He was given the task later of stopping the great mass of trash when Farnsworth incorrectly set a doomsday clock to explode the mass. After being given tenure and five graduate assistants (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 had his Inventors' Symposium award stripped from him after Farnsworth and the Planet Express crew managed to save New New York. Wernstrom also appears at the Professor's 150th birthday party. Wernstrom has another appearance in the episode "Anthology of Interest Two", 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.

Morbo is actually an advance scout for an alien invasion, but does not bother to be subtle about it and drops obvious hints his species' violent invasion plans. He frequently expresses his hatred for humanity. Morbo has a great love for Lipps, Inc.'s song "Funky Town". Morbo is, interestingly, 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 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".

Cubert is pompous, arrogant, and very rude to the other members of Planet Express. Unsurprisingly, he is unpopular. His sayings include, "That's preposterous!" 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.

The Wongs (Leo Wong, voiced by Billy West and Inez Wong, voiced by Lauren Tom) – the very wealthy but meddlesome parents of Amy Wong. They own the entire western hemisphere of Mars (the best hemisphere), where they have a buggalo ranch. Throughout the series Leo and Inez are often seen pestering Amy about their lack of grandchildren and meddling in her love life, trying to find a man to father their grandchild. 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). It was later revealed that the bead in question was a gargantuan diamond.

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. 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 came with double prize money). Elzar's main catchphrase is "Bam!" which he uses as emphasis in the same way as Lagasse. Elzar is crass and unpleasant, and has a very high opinion of himself.

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, at one point telling 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 he asked his "catty chauffeur". 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 tiny glasses perched on his beak. He features a strong Southern American accent, reminiscent of Andy Griffith, Matlock, or especially Foghorn Leghorn, and routinely loses cases for the main characters.

He has once been hired while imprisoned and awaiting a trial for incompetence, and hiring him as a legal representative was enough grounds for Judge Whitey to accept a plea of insanity. May also be a play on the literary character of Atticus Finch.

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. It was rumored to be derived from the sounds of the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. 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.

Hattie McDoogal (voiced by Tress MacNeille) - Lives alone with her cat. Walks around in a nightgown and a pair of slippers, and looks like she never bothers to get properly dressed. Hattie's eyes are always pointing in opposite directions. In "Xmas Story" Bender celebrates Xmas at her house and sings "On the fourth day of Xmas, I stole from that lady: Four family photos, three jars of pennies, two former husbands and a slipper on a shoe tree." Hattie also owns one share of the Planet Express enterprise. She has a penchant for using the word "Kerjiggers" when she cannot find or does not know the word. In the first season, Hattie was briefly Fry and Bender's landlady. She dated Professor Farnsworth on board the space-cruise ship "Titanic". Reminiscent of "The Crazy Cat Lady" from The Simpsons, although capable of comprehensible speech. Her last name was revealed in the Futurama Comics.

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 eons-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.

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.
