Year 5 Million Lady

A glimpse of humanity five million years down the line, this unnamed woman appears as part of a sight gag about where evolution might take the species. She exists for a single beat of background comedy rather than a storyline, embodying the show's fondness for imagining humanity's distant, stranger future.

Futurama's genius lives in throwaway details like this one: a whole imagined era compressed into a single silent or near-silent appearance. Tress MacNeille, one of the show's most versatile voice performers, gives even a blink-and-miss-it figure like this some specificity, part of the show's habit of making its background as inventive as its foreground.
