Character

Centaur

Centaur in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.

A centaur alien lawyer on the planet Spheron I, Centaur strides into the story as Bender's flamboyant defense attorney in an over-the-top courtroom drama built on exaggerated American ideals. He postures, orates, and thunders about liberty with the fervor of a man who has never met a metaphor he wouldn't overuse.

Maurice LaMarche plays him as pure theatrical bombast, channeling old Hollywood courtroom grandiosity into a single satirical burst. The joke is entirely in delivery: a centaur delivering patriotic speeches with total sincerity, never winking at the absurdity, which is exactly what makes the absurdity land so hard.
