Wine Bucket

Wine Bucket is one of the countless one-off faces that populate New New York, glimpsed briefly in the churn of Futurama's background gags rather than given a storyline of his own. He exists mostly as a punchline vessel, the kind of throwaway name the show tosses off and moves past without ceremony.

Billy West's genius on Futurama is exactly this: filling out a whole universe with voices nobody asked for, giving even a blink-and-miss-it character like Wine Bucket a distinct comic texture. It's a joke about the show's own density of invention, and West sells the bit without ever needing more than a few seconds.
