Character
Teddy Roosevelt's Head
Teddy Roosevelt's Head in Futurama (1999), played by Maurice LaMarche.
One of the many disembodied celebrity heads bobbing in jars at the Head Museum in the year 3000, Teddy Roosevelt turns up whenever the plot needs a blustering man of action. He's gung-ho, quotable, itching for a fight or an expedition, and utterly unbothered by having no body left to back it up.
The joke is the gap between his enormous bully-pulpit bravado and the fact that he's a jar of preserved brain matter on a shelf. Maurice LaMarche leans into the growling, teeth-gritted Rough Rider bombast so hard that a single line of dialogue is funnier than most characters' whole episodes.
