Space Bee #3

Space Bee #3 buzzes through Futurama's crowded universe as one more oddity glimpsed among the show's parade of alien extras — a background insect-being dropped into a scene, present just long enough to add to the joke before the story moves on to bigger business.

The fun here is scale: even a background gag like Space Bee #3 gets a real voice actor giving it commitment, and John DiMaggio's knack for gruff, off-kilter line readings turns a blink-and-miss-it alien into a tiny, memorable flourish in Futurama's dense comic universe.
