Character

Keg Robot

Keg Robot in Futurama (1999), played by Billy West.

A walking keg with legs, arms, and a tap for a mouth, Keg Robot exists to show up at parties and dispense beer on demand. He doesn't say much and doesn't need to — his whole purpose is right there in his name and his function, a piece of futuristic party furniture that happens to be alive.

Futurama's genius for background gags gets a perfect vessel in Keg Robot: a sight gag with just enough personality to land a line when needed. Billy West gives him the same deadpan matter-of-factness he brings to every robot in the show's world, which is exactly why a beer keg with a face never feels like more than a beer keg with a face — and that's the joke.

Keg Robot is a beer dispenser. He attended the "party" organized by Richard M. Nixon's head to destroy all robots and end the problem of global warming, along with all robots of the world. Bender tried to get beer from him until he discovered the keg was actually a robot. Much to Bender's disgust, the kegbot asks him to keep pushing on his pump, as he was enjoying it.
