Robot Hooker

A background fixture of New New York's seedier corners, she's a robot built for hire, sharp-tongued and unbothered, popping up in crowd scenes and street corners across the futuristic sprawl. She doesn't drive plots so much as color them, delivering a quick quip or a knowing glance before the scene moves on.

Futurama's world-building thrives on exactly this kind of throwaway detail: a joke glimpsed rather than explained, treating robot sex work as just another mundane fact of its future. Tress MacNeille gives her a world-weary rasp that sells the bit in seconds, proof the show's background gags are often as sharp as its main plots.
