Wasn't that ... ? Yes!

A thread to talk about random chracters who do appear in the background every few episodes.
For example the pizza robot from "A fishfull of Dollars" is also in "Bendin' in the wind".
Or the one protestor (black woman, wearing cool pulovers) in "Icebot", "Popplers" and "Bendin'".
Here you can see her (behind Waterfall jr.).

Seen any other random characters?
What's your favourite?
If the series would go on - which random characters should become minor-characters or even more? You know: a name, a voice, an own life-history? What are your ideas for that?

My favorite random character is Tiny Tim. This lovable little robot had won my heart from the first time i see him and i think he has deserved a bigger part.

[Reply #2 on:]

I kinda like the preacher!

[Reply #3 on:]

im a fan of the lazy guy from the series has landed, hes also the truck stop guy from PS. making appearances in various other episodes, and on a lesser percentile possibility i think he may be the same character as the bus driver who bender sets up with leela in PYHOMS.

"ohh dont get me started.."
"she dont got enough meat for a guy like me"
"ide like to stay and take a whack at ya"

Hes name's Sal
Anyhoo...i would have liked to see more of those those lizard/snake/hamerhead aliens that apear from time to time! Love those guys!
You know, the ones that are in the count down in SP3K, eat's the cat in less than hero and says "word" in MTS, they rule....

The Hyperchicken was only supposed to be a one-shot character for "Brannigan Begin Again", but he proved so succesfull he was brought back repeatedly, essential making him the Lionel Hutz of Futurama.

I still hope they had plans to bring ack iHawk at some point. He really rocked.

They should've shown the Panucci's Pizza robot again! I love the voice DiMaggio did for him. And as the "Slurm Factory" commentary said, more transexual robots!

[Reply #7 on:]

Beside the ones mentioned, I thought Randy was pretty funny. Oh! And more Neptuniens, I'd like to see the citys that they have on Neptune.

[Reply #8 on:]

Randy appeared quite frequently as a background character, as did his friend from "I, Roommate" the lady with the huge ass. They were both in the courtroom for Fry and Bender's trial in IITM.

Is that the oil ade selling robot?
I sooo love that scene where Bender kicks kicks his "leg" in Bender Gets Made. 
One of my favourite random characters is Malfunctioning Eddie. 

[Reply #10 on:]

Hatty (Voiced by Tress Macneille) is quite funny.  I also like Lionel Preacherbot.

[Reply #11 on:]

 

Tiny Tim

It's Tinny Tim- just to nitpick. But Malfunctioning Eddie is brilliant. Also, I assume Hattie's the one in LTH who hasn't slept for 30 years- amazing.
One more thing (which is partly pointed out in the MU commentary) is that many robots are built with really dumb designs (Tinny Tim with a crutch, FatBot with the obesity, HedonismBot built into a couch, etc.) But that belongs elsewhere.

i like tiny tim hes so cute with his buck teeth

[Reply #13 on:]

I like Victor, the guy who sells Amy her car. though every time he says his own name it sounds like Bictor, and the Preacherbot.

[Reply #14 on:]

Yeah, Tinny Tim sure packs a lot of humor for his size...

"You raised my hopes, then dashed them expertly sir. Bravo!"
"Yes, my fellow jerkwads, we'll rob Bender!" 

[Reply #15 on:]

Yeah, I really liked Victor too.  Oh and I would have liked to see a bit more of malfunctioning Eddie, although I guess he is in it quite a lot.

[Reply #16 on:]

I liked that organ selling guy from My Three Suns.

...and the Number 9 guy!

[Reply #17 on:]

my favourite random character is Tinny Tim 

 

[Reply #18 on:]

Sorry about this post, i accidently posted twice.

[Reply #19 on:]

I don't think Tinny Tim's a background character in that sense.  He has a major part in BSNBAOTV, as well as substantial parts on episodes like Bender Gets Made and Xmas Story.

[Reply #20 on:]

My favourite random character would be the Abominable Snowmobile fembot in 'The Honking'. She's also in 'Bend Her' at the wedding.

[Reply #21 on:]

Definetly Morbo.  Everything he says is gold.

[Reply #22 on:]

Uhh... My favorite random characters are...

Tinny Tim, and Randy.

Guy: But you filled the boat with same sex animal couples!
Randy: Hey, there are parts of the bible I like, and parts of the bible I don't like!

[Reply #23 on:]

My favorite character is Morbo, because he is always laughing at human despair.  Lol it's funy. MOUAHAHAHAHA!
-KITTEN GIVES MORBO'S GAS! 

[Reply #24 on:]

Randy is the greetest!

[Reply #25 on:]

Hedonism bot - you know the one i mean

[Reply #26 on:]

The Robot Devil is my favourite minor character by far.

[Reply #27 on:]

I haven't got an image, but you'll see Fry's One night stand girl from Loves Labors Lost in Space leaving the ball-park in "A Leela of her Own"

[Reply #28 on:]

I liked mamma and pappa Cygnoid. Pappa Cygnoid returned in BSNBAOT.
