Character
Grover Cleveland's Head
Grover Cleveland's Head in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
Grover Cleveland's Head is one of countless preserved presidential heads bobbing in jars at the Head Museum, wheeled out whenever the future needs a figure of stuffy political authority. He speaks with the wounded pomposity of a man who still thinks his office commands respect, issuing decrees and grievances despite being, quite literally, a disembodied head.
The joke is entirely in the mismatch between the bureaucratic self-importance and the absurd fact of being a talking jar-head, and Maurice LaMarche plays it perfectly straight, all blustering gravitas and wounded pride. It's a tiny, recurring bit of background lunacy that never overstays its welcome.
