Computer

The onboard computer aboard Planet Express's delivery ship is the calm, slightly bored voice overseeing the crew's ship systems and often more, doling out status reports and dry asides. It answers questions literally, follows instructions to a fault, and treats the daily chaos of interstellar deliveries as routine paperwork.

The joke is in the deadpan: a machine intelligence that could easily be capable of far more, content to just narrate disaster with mild disinterest. Tress MacNeille gives it a clipped, unbothered cadence that turns throwaway ship-status lines into some of the show's best background gags, proof that a character barely there can still land.
