Character
Alarm Clock
Alarm Clock in Futurama (1999), played by Tress MacNeille.
A tiny, throwaway presence in the crowded background of New New York, the sort of gag object Futurama likes to give a voice and a personality for a single joke before moving on. It exists to interrupt, to complain, or to be more sentient than an alarm clock has any right to be.
The joke is the whole point: Futurama treats even inanimate machines as fully entitled citizens with attitude, and Tress MacNeille's game vocal work sells the bit instantly. It's a blink-and-miss moment that rewards attentive rewatching, exactly the kind of background gag that makes the show's world feel dense and alive.
Alarm Clock is a robot owned by Amy. She lives with Amy as well and her main goal is to wake Amy up. She is located in Amy’s apartment. Despite being an alarm clock, she has her own personality and feelings likely due to technological evolutions over years. She shortly was with Bender which once caused her to be distracted and forget to wake up Amy for a presentation she had to conduct.
