Character

Australian Laborer

Australian Laborer in Futurama (1999), played by John DiMaggio.

He turns up as one of the countless background workers who populate Futurama's sprawling future — a laborer identified by nationality rather than name, dropped into a scene to grumble, joke, or react before the story moves on. He wants whatever the moment calls for and vanishes just as fast.

The joke is entirely in the voice: John DiMaggio, already doing the show's biggest heavy lifting as Bender, slips into a broad Australian bark for a few lines and disappears. It's a small flex of range hidden inside a throwaway gag, the kind of detail that rewards viewers who notice how much of Futurama's texture comes from one actor's elastic voice.
