Jack the Ripper

A shadowy figure drawn from old-world legend, reimagined in Futurama's future New New York as part of one of the show's macabre one-off gags. He appears with menace and mystery, more a spooky punchline than a fleshed-out player, unsettling the cast within whatever brief tale he's dropped into.

John DiMaggio's growl gives even a throwaway grotesque some weight — he can make a single line sound genuinely sinister before the joke lands. It's a small showcase for how Futurama repurposes classic horror iconography as background texture, and DiMaggio's voice work turns a cameo into something briefly, memorably creepy.
