Runner

Runner is one of Futurama's fleeting background gags, a nameless jogger glimpsed pounding along the neon streets of New New York while the main plot barrels past. He exists for a beat, mid-stride, oblivious to the chaos around him, a small joke about a city too strange to notice its own weirdness.

Billy West's gift for filling every corner of Futurama with voices pays off in throwaway bits like this one — a character who doesn't need lines or arcs to land a laugh. The joke is the commitment: someone is always just out there jogging, no matter what insanity engulfs the city.
