Toy Salesman

A minor pitchman glimpsed hawking merchandise in New New York, the Toy Salesman is pure background bluster — the kind of huckster Futurama loves to drop into a crowd scene, pushing some gimmicky product with rapid-fire enthusiasm before vanishing back into the city's noise.

Tress MacNeille's gift is making a two-line character feel fully formed, and here she leans into a brassy, motor-mouthed sales patter that instantly reads as parody of late-night infomercial hucksters. It's a tiny joke, but it lands because the voice commits completely to the bit.
