Character
Robot Guards
Robot Guards in Futurama (1999), played by John DiMaggio.
They stand at the doors of prisons, courtrooms, and bureaucratic nightmares across the galaxy, weapons drawn, expressions blank. Whatever institution needs enforcing, a robot guard is there to enforce it — bluntly, unimaginatively, and with total indifference to the absurdity of the situation unfolding in front of them.
John DiMaggio gives them the same flat, put-upon monotone no matter how bizarre the order they're carrying out, which is exactly the joke: institutional violence delivered in the voice of someone who'd rather be doing literally anything else. They're a running sight gag that never needs setup, just a doorway and a line to deliver.
