Character
Pharaoh Hermenthotip
Pharaoh Hermenthotip in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
Pharaoh Hermenthotip rules the alien world of Osiris IV, where the population has recreated ancient Egypt down to the pyramids and slave labor. He wants his tomb built, fast, and fabulous, and he has no patience for excuses — only for Bender, whom he happily conscripts as his newest overseer.
He's a stock tyrant archetype dropped wholesale into Futurama's sci-fi sandbox, and the show trusts the absurdity of that to do the work. Maurice LaMarche plays him with big, bellowing, Yul Brynner-adjacent grandiosity, all imperious flourish and zero self-awareness, which makes every demand funnier than it has any right to be.
Pharaoh Hermenthotip, heir to the 10th dynasty, rules the Osirins on the planet O'Cyris IV. He commands his slaves, whom he is very proud of, to build monuments in his likeness. He dies when the sandstone nose from his monument falls, killing him. With his dying words, he gives his slaves their freedom. Unfortunately, Bender misunderstood him and he died before he could make himself clear.
