Character
Clamps
Clamps in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
Clamps is a Brooklyn mob enforcer whose signature move is exactly what his name promises — he'll clamp anything, from a victim's fingers to their whole head, without raising his voice about it. He shows up wherever the Robot Mafia needs muscle, calm and businesslike, treating brutal violence as just another item on the to-do list.
The joke is entirely in the mismatch: a flat, unbothered delivery describing horrific things done with a clamp, never played as shocking, just procedural. Maurice LaMarche gives him a bored, gravelly matter-of-factness that makes each escalation funnier than the last — the character never winks, which is exactly why it lands.
