Linda

Linda co-anchors the future's evening news alongside Morbo the Annihilator, delivering apocalyptic bulletins with the same bright, vacant cheer she'd use for a weather report. She wants everyone watching to have a wonderful evening, seemingly untroubled by the fact that her broadcast partner is openly promising the destruction of humanity.

The joke is entirely in the mismatch: Tress MacNeille plays Linda with such sunny, unbothered local-news perkiness that Morbo's booming threats of doom become a punchline about how television smooths over anything. She never needs to change to be funny — the world around her does the work, and she just keeps smiling.
