Character
Robot Devil
Robot Devil in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
The Robot Devil rules Robot Hell, a garish underworld built to punish robots for sins like coveting and greed. He is vain, theatrical, and eager to make deals, presenting himself with the oily charm of a game-show host who happens to also torture the damned for eternity.
Maurice LaMarche plays him as a pitch-black Orson Welles impression, all velvet menace and self-satisfied grandeur, which makes every sentence sound like a Shakespearean aside. The writers hand him gloriously absurd bits of business, singing musical numbers about hating someone while finding them beautiful, dispensing hypocritical creative advice, that turn a stock devil figure into one of the show's funniest recurring irritants.
Beelzebot, commonly referred to as the Robot Devil, is one of the recurring antagonists in Futurama. He seems to resemble the Devil/Satan/Lucifer of many Earth religions. He lives in Robot Hell along with many other sinners. He is talented at playing the fiddle, therefore, he owns a golden one (presumably a reference to "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," which mentions both a golden fiddle and the Devil).
