Robot that Owes Money

Robot that Owes Money in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.

He is exactly what the credits call him: a robot, somewhere in the crowded margins of New New York, who owes money. Futurama rarely bothers to give him more than that single fact and a voice, dropping him into the background of a scene as a passing joke rather than a plot.

The pleasure is entirely in the economy of the gag — a whole implied life of debt and dodged collectors compressed into a name-tag credit. Maurice LaMarche's voice work gives even a two-second nothing of a bot enough weight to be funny, which is very much the show's house style.
