Character

Alexander Hamilron

Alexander Hamilron in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.

Alexander Hamilron turns up as one of Futurama's throwaway historical jokes — a robot riff on the Founding Father, dropped into the background of New New York's endless parade of parody and pun. He behaves exactly as the name suggests: self-important, briefly seen, and entirely a punchline rather than a person with a plan.

The character works because Futurama trusts a good pun to carry a scene, and Maurice LaMarche's gift for grandiose, portrait-ready delivery sells the joke before anyone questions it. He's proof the show could make you laugh at a name alone, then move on before the bit wore out its welcome.
