Character
Plastic Surgeon Robot
Plastic Surgeon Robot in Futurama (1999), played by David Herman.
A background functionary of Futurama's automated world, the Plastic Surgeon Robot appears when a character needs a quick cosmetic fix, handling the procedure with the brisk, indifferent efficiency typical of the show's service robots. It treats appearance-altering surgery as routine paperwork, more interested in process than in the person on the table.
The joke is entirely in the mismatch: a life-changing procedure delivered with the bedside manner of a DMV clerk. David Herman's flat, unbothered line readings sell the absurdity without straining for it, and the character's briskness fits Futurama's running gag that the future has automated away all human tenderness, including the ones meant to fix your face.
