I third that sentiment, a horrible stereotype character. Painfully unfunny and out of character for the show...
Susan Boyle can get the fuck off the show too. She has no place on Futurama and is an absolute disgrace...
I know right! Ughh why did they even bring her on in the first place?!
They needed something gross for the plot to work. Gross/sick/primitive stuff is the material internet hits are formed from. Take a video about "The world's loudest burp" and "The world's greatest Shakespeare recitation". It's obvious and predictable which of these two will get more hits on youtube. Susan Boil is unfitting for giving Leela another random mutation (unsuitable for the world's least mutated mutant). But -without Susan- something equally disgusting and gross would have to be used.

After season 7A, I'd be inclined to vote for Amy. They basically subjected her to too much Mary Suefication lately, creating a "backup Leela":
- (Vice) Champion Martial Artist : (BE) - Otherweise Sports Champion (IWGY, we do not know about the Javelin thing). - Weapon expert (Harpoon, Javelin, MB, etc..) - Natural strategist and leader (VMV) - Genius/Smart without being hindered by senility like Farnsworth (TDK). etc, etc, etc..
And -like Leela- Amys solutions usually also do not come at a "price to be paid". Just some "give her another ability to solve the problem, and make it a mere skill display". And even when there was a big messup (AFWTA), there are no consequences: "Hey, don't look at me" "Okay", and the angry mob on Mars lost interest. (e.g. Leela considered Fry giving her ticket a much graver error than Amy's translation).
It's okay to grant a character his "big moment" (e.g. Zoidberg in TSOTC was really derserved), but I already considerd TSOTC and TOTZ a bit too much "hero moments" to be within the acceptable limit. And -with that comparison- I think we do not have to talk about Amy's quantity).
I think Amy's problem is a too disabled reset button: She usually KEEPS all her mentioned abilities, and they keep on summing up.

Hedonism Bot was great in TDHAIP, but what the character has done/worn/said really made me feel revolted - especially in FWH.
You have a good point. Despite of being a huge perv, early Hedonismbot was also a bit naive. When assuming something to be decadent, he showed some almost child-like joy and happiness. I would even say it added an aura of innocence to him. Hedomismbot just being a perv as in FWH...it just wasn't really him (at least not for me).

I'd say Michelle was the worst character. Like she was a huge bitch to Fry. There are some other traits I highly dislike about her, like how demanding and selfish she is. It reminds me of most of the girls in my school. It's just, yuck! Don't like thinking about it! I'm glad she hasn't had any roles or voice-overs since Season 2.
Similarly, Mom is generally considered to be an excellent character despite being ridiculously evil.
Yeah, I also think Mom's role is good. I mean, her role is mainly to poke fun of snobby rich people, and big corporations. But then we got more into the Farnsworth relationship thingy. Isn't the best part of the show, especially how overused it's become since the return in 2007. It's still a darn more enjoyable role than seeing Mitchell bitch all the time! And Danny, I forgot about that scene! I remember laughing out loud on the "Ooh, now I see why you left Fry!" comment.  But thank god Michelle hasn't really had any big roles to play since season 2 though.  And her upcoming appearance, may probably just serve the purpose of the upcoming episode, since it has to do with Fry in the past and what-not.
