Tree

Tree exists at the margins of Futurama's sprawling world of misfits, one more strange face glimpsed in the crowded future of New New York. Details of motive or manner are thin on the ground, and the character keeps a low profile, letting the show's louder personalities take the foreground.

Futurama's genius has always been its background gags and one-off oddities, the strangers who wander through a scene and vanish, and David Herman's voice work across the show has a knack for giving even the smallest role a distinct, dryly funny texture worth a second look.
