Nixon's head as one of the most annoying? No way! AhhhhRoooo! How is Ahhroo funny?! I don't get it. It's not, it's just a stupid noise. Plus I wasn't around for any of the Nixon drama that apparently went on. So much for knowing celebrities from our time better. I bet I know more about calculon that Nixon, though I'm not american. Celebrities like Calculon and Elzar were fine, completely from the future, and the audience didn't seem to care much about the fact they weren't real and from their time and still found them funny. Celebrity heads were stupid and I really wish they would cut back on them...

The phrase itself (what nixon's head says in the series) isn't that funny by itself, without being put in context. Having lived through that mess in the 70's, for me Nixon came to embody one of the worst Presidents the US has seen in a while; he's broadly written that way too, in the episodes; power hungry, greedy & brutal. For a lot of US citzens, he singlehandedly destroyed the trust we had in the Presidency; every US President since him has been under the microscope from the 1st day they're sworn in, thanks to him. So, it's kinda fitting, payback wise, to see him written as a disembodied head, still trying to "rule the world" and howling like an animal. I guess that's Matt Groening's one major political statement in Futurama...

The worst character is definitely mom. I can't tell why, but in the second I first saw her I hated her.

I've thought about this, and that 80's guy is no longer my least favorite character. I'd have to say the character of "the mayor's aide" (I can't remember his first name) is the worst; it adds nothing to the show.
I dislike Chaz as well but I disagree that he adds nothing to the show. He highlights Leelas failed attempts to have a meaningful relationship due to the fact that she is impressed by the wrong attributes. Like runaway ego, conspicuous consumption, and flattery. It's no wonder that she picks, Adlai a successful doctor or Chaz the mayors aide. She was even impressed by Zapp until she slept with him. He is reprehensible but a reasonable character, nonetheless. IMO

I'm replying to this post only because its user name hit me just right and I almost fell off my chair laughing. I mean, seriously..."snot"? Didn't even try to be clever about it. Not "Bogeyman" or "NoseNugget6" or "BatsInTheCave" or anything like that. Just "snot". Well, while the lack of imagination is distressing, one must admire that poster's straightforward brevity. "Snot"...sheesh. Oh. Worst character? Hope I haven't already posted here. Um...still can't stand Zapp Brannigan. Although he was somewhat more bearable, and for the first time (for me), actually funny, in "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela". I hope he'll be used sparingly this season though. A little of him goes a long way.

To be completely honest, I really dislike Zoidberg. His jokes are never funny to me.
