Character
Gingerbread Man
Gingerbread Man in Futurama (1999), played by Phil LaMarr.
The Gingerbread Man is a walking, talking pastry mascot who turns up outraged that his leg has been eaten without his consent, treating the indignity as a matter of principle rather than a joke. He is loud, aggrieved, and utterly serious about being taken seriously.
Phil LaMarr plays the outrage completely straight, which is the whole joke: a cookie demanding bodily autonomy with the wounded dignity of a man filing a lawsuit. Futurama thrives on treating absurd premises with total sincerity, and this tiny, furious confection is a perfect vehicle for that trick.
