When you need a package of Glagnar's Human Rinds delivered to Omicron Persei 8, and you need it to get their fast, there's only one delivery company to call - Planet Express. Operated by the distinguished Professor Farnsworth (known for inventions like the Smell-O-Scope) this firm might lollygag every now and again but they always get the job done!
Can you imagine going to deliver a simple pizza and ending up 1000 years in the future? Everything has changed; telephone booths now offer suicide services, everyone gets around on a tubelike transport system, aliens are everywhere, and intergalactic travel is now considered nothing special. Quite a culture shock right?
Well, if you are anything like Fry, the pizza delivery boy who ends up in the year 3000 on Futurama, you wouldn't mind the change of venue too much. Afterall, delivering packages all over the universe is more exciting than delivering pizzas, any day of the week. And when your co-workers include a sexy cyclops, a weird pink alien (who delights in eating trash), a rich grad student, and a hard-drinking womanizing bending robot, there's always bound to be an adventure!
It's time to see if you really know Futurama as well as you think you do - let's see if you can name all these characters?

Everyone always seems to think that doctors have plenty of money right? Well, this character seems to be the only doctor in the universe who never seems to have any dough. Whenever we see him he is pleading poverty; eating trash and mincing around looking distraught. No-one seems to like him very much and when it comes to medical procedures you wouldn't want to let him anywhere near you. Don't be surprised if he eats your toenail clippings while you're not looking!

This is one of the main characters of the series and although he is a little outdated, he certainly brings a retro flavor to the whole storyline. The familial connection to another member of the cast is a bit convoluted as he is younger than his family member but also older biologically by, oh say, a thousand years. Sheesh, imagine taking a thousand-year-old guy on a date, that could get a bit dodgy. But as old, or young, as he is, he seems to fit perfectly. Can you name this character?

In the Futurama future, even crime has gone super electronic and this means that there are now robot unions and of course, robot crime. But who controls the robot crime? And how does that even work? Enter the robot mafia. These metallic goons are all about the life of crime and since they are robots they can pretty much do anything. This specific character works for the robot mafia but he doesn't exactly have hands. As an enforcer, he needs to clamp down on things for the leader. Can you name him?

This mainstay of the series just goes to prove that you can be as low as the janitor on the totem pole but still carry weight with the company. This lovable character with his one-liner quips and dry delivery is a very understated character and rarely has a line in the story but does have a number of cameos. His bushy mustache and penchant for lying about are only rivaled by Bender. Can you name this character who keeps everyone guessing?

Another of the main characters in the series is this dynamic criminal mastermind who seems to have no shame. Our shiny friend here is definitely a boozy character, but, this is not just drinking for the sake of drinking. No, without alcohol our metallic friend stops working as this is how he is fueled. But of course, he has to take it overboard. He is also a lover of fine cigars and whatever isn't his, he takes. In the series we see him get into tons of trouble and usually has to be rescued by the rest of the team. Can you name him?

We all know a guy like this character, don't we? Having self-esteem and self-confidence is important but some people just don't seem to know when to stop. This Captain likes to make snap decisions and really doesn't have time for the little things, like consequences. He once spent some quality time with Leela but she's not interested in him at all. Not that it seems to bother, or even register in his brain. Can you name this over-bearing Futurama character?

This three-eyed little creature is also a galactic overlord and connoisseur of anything edible, and some things not edible. He can fuel the planet express ship with a single bowel movement as he excretes dark matter. He has crept into the hearts of almost all of the cast members and simply adores to be given love and cuddles. Did we mention that he eats anything? This critter would eat the cast if he thought that it would sate his appetite. Can you name the lovable little critter?

Another character in this ongoing saga is that of the Professor's heirs and offspring. Scraped from a growth on the Professor's back in 2989 and used as material to clone himself an heir the professor brought this little know it all into being. The little tyke made his first appearance in the episode entitled "A Clone of My Own" where he is introduced. Due to being left in his cloning tube for too long he has a flat nose. Can you name him?

Everyone loves him and no one can argue with him for he is all knowing and should he not know, you will end up agreeing with him in any case. This green and brown pond dweller is a unique creature and not much is known about him. His age is indeterminate, he is an actor and has no known relatives. His first appearance was on "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid". Can you name the tiny but powerful creature we are referring to?

Television, and, apparently, the universe’s most famous and favorite chef. Definitely a bit of a celebrity and of course that means that Bender has a circuit crush on the alien that can cook up a storm. This character uses his patented recipes and spices things up with his Spice-Weasel. Although a good cook he does remind us a bit of Gordon Ramsey at times with his attitude. So let's see if you can BAM it up a notch, can you name this paragon of the pots and pans?
Can you name this Futurama character?
This character is the main antagonist of many of the episodes, the planetary ruler of Omicron Persei 8 is a light brown in color and reptilian in appearance. This species is known for their violence and will kill and eat almost anything. He has a love for earthly sitcoms and is definitely not the one wearing the cape in the house. The poor lizard man is overshadowed by his nagging wife and will do almost anything to impress his father. Can you name this toothy ruler?

One of the main characters of the series and also the on again, off again love interest of Fry, this one-eyed female space captain is hard as nails with a soft center where it comes to personal issues. At first, you would think that a purple pony tale and cyclopean vision would mean that she is from some far away planet, but not this girl. She is actually a sewer mutant. A fact that is well hidden and remains a secret for a long time. Can you name the one-eyed wonder?
Can you name this Futurama character?
A rather bland, nerdy and miserable character to start with, but this green boy wonder is Amy Wong's love interest. Now, this could get confusing as Amy has a large number of amorous followers and see's no need to stick to just one love interest. She is wooed by the green, fluid-filled, bag of bladders and eventually becomes his Smizmar and later his Fonfon Ru. The poor fellow is also constantly being overshadowed and abused by his commanding officer. Can you name the character in question?
Can you name this Futurama character?
This little mishappen and clearly poorly built junior robot is featured in a number of the series episodes and is an orphan-bot that is programmed to beg, sell oil-ade and write in cute backward letters on his signs. For some reason, Bender is not fond of him and is always cruel to him. In one episode he assists Bender when the police are looking at him by delivering a package. This gets Bender into the Robot Mafia. Can you name this little character?
Can you name this Futurama character?
This ball dribbling, hoop shooting ultra athlete is also a scientist of note. He is from the Globetrotter Planet and is the commander of the Globetrotters as well as senior lecturer of Physics at Globetrotter University. This character first appears in the "Time Keeps on Slipping" episode where he declares a basketball war on earth for no practical reason. He and some of his team are featured in a number of episodes, including the movie, "Bender's Big Score". Can you name this ball bouncing character?

This dread-locked character is a bureaucrat and bookkeeper for the Professor and Planet Express. He handles all the figures for the company and just loves to stamp his way through the day. He has a great fondness for jerked anything, be it chicken, fish, beef or something alien. And of course, in true double entendre, a rather big love for Jamaican "cigars". Our character tries his best with the ragtag bunch of employees. Can you name this order-loving, financial genius?
Can you name this Futurama character?
The crime in New New York is rife and with guys like Bender helping it along its no wonder. But, there is a larger, or shall we say, heavier hard drive behind all this. We are of course speaking of the Robot Mafia. These programmed goons can steal and sell anything. Now, you would think that being robots they are more intelligent and far more advanced than normal human crooks. In this case, that would be untrue. Can you name the leader of this mechanical crime group?
Can you name this Futurama character?
Some robots are created to serve, others are created to be served and then there are those that fall into neither class. This character is one of them. He was made to act. Even though he cannot emote properly and does not have the vocal or facial expressive range one would think required of the position he is still a superstar in his own right. Insanely jealous of anyone stealing his spotlight he will do anything to remain the center of attention. Can you name this tin actor?
Can you name this Futurama character?
Evil can come in many forms and guises. In this series, we even have a certain demonic robot that plays the role of the robot version of the human equivalent. He is red, toothy and has a wicked sense of humor. Not to mention that he hates Fry and would like nothing more than to keep Bender with him for eternity. He makes deals that no sane person would as can be seen in a number of the episodes and even gets conned by the scam artist. Can you name this fallen bot?
Can you name this Futurama character?
From a family of ultra-rich parents and being the only child and female at that, this spoilt little rich girl is one of the Professors' students, part-time lover of Fry and anyone else available and friend to the Planet Express crew. Her parents own the better half of Mars and they just want grandchildren as soon as possible, they are always trying to fix her up with someone, anyone, that will grant their wish for little ones running around. Can you name this Martian babe?
Can you name this Futurama character?
A green alien with a giant head is the last thing you want to spot anywhere, but what if he is the local news presenter? That's kind of unavoidable and would give most people nightmares, but, this is the future where alien, human and robot live together in peace and relative harmony. He is always saying things like "Humans have easily damaged knees, good to know" or some-such that indicated that he might be here for more than the six o clock news. Can you name this character?
Can you name this Futurama character?
This character only appeared in "Bender's Big Score" as part of the highly convoluted time-warped storyline. In this story, he was a time duplicate of one of the main characters who finds himself lost in the past. He tries to make the most of his life by becoming a cleaner at the head museum, and that's where he finally gets to woo Leela, much to Fry's disgust. He even proposes to her but the wedding doesn't quite turn out as planned. Who was this character?
Can you name this Futurama character?
In his previous life, Fry was a delivery boy for the local pizzeria in his rundown neighborhood. He had, and still has, no real ambition over and above being the best delivery boy, except maybe, executive delivery boy. In his pre-frozen youth, he worked for a certain old Italian man that ran a really shoddy, greasy and somewhat dirty pizza parlor. He always shouted at poor Fry to get stuff done. Can you name the character that owned this establishment of greasy delights?
Can you name this Futurama character?
This rather elegant geriatric creature in her blue dress and perfectly coiffed hair is, in fact, a thin, miserable woman bent on world domination. She has three boys that range from being sadistically nefarious to a rather slow and bullied. She has, in the past, held a love interest in the form of the Professor and she is well aware of who is who at the delivery company as she often has run ions with the crew and their mislaid plans. Can you name this old and grizzled character?
Can you name this Futurama character?
When his first Christmas in the future rolls around Fry is surprised to find that the holiday is now celebrated rather differently. People no longer use pine trees as Christmas decorations (they are all extinct) and getting a visit from a certain jolly figure is not considered good at all! In fact, you'd want to try and protect yourself from this character in any way possible because he's judged everyone as naughty. Can you name this mechanical gun-toting character? Who is he?
Can you name this Futurama character?
They say that behind every successful man is a strong woman but we're not exactly sure that's the case here. This character is married to Hermes, the accountant at Planet Express, but she keeps him on a tight leash. She clearly loves him but whenever things go wrong she's always more than willing to run back to her first husband. She and Hermes also have a son together. Can you remember the name of this Futurama character? Who is she?
Can you name this Futurama character?
This rather big, straight talking and square character appeared in the episode "The Bots and the Bees" where she was a casual love interest of Bender. But, this character gave Bender a little more than he bargained for. That's right folk, Bender is no longer a solo flyer, he is a daddy! And that's all thanks to his little indiscretion with this character in the aforementioned episode. Can you name this juicy lady bot that hooked Bender with her software?
Can you name this Futurama character?
Poor, poor Hermes, he's always having to compete for his wife's attention with this guy! The fact that he used to be married to LaBarbara (and that he has Olympic medals for both limbo and sex) really doesn't help make things any easier. In "Bender's Big Score" LaBarbara runs straight back to this guy when Hermes ends up as a head in a jar, using the excuse that their son needs a father with a body. Can you name this character?
Can you name this Futurama character?
This robot loves to relax and truly lives a life of pleasure and leisure; although that's not too difficult seeing as how he is basically built into his own recliner. He's made entirely out of gold, loves to have chocolate poured on his belly and, like most rich people, has a very short attention span. This character has appeared in multiple episodes of Futurama so you should know who he is. Can you name this grape-munching, super-chilled out character? Who is he?
Can you name this Futurama character?
Good news everyone! This one is so easy, you just have to get it right. He's old but he still knows how to be hip and his inventions push the boundaries of reality. His company owns a spaceship that runs on dark matter, and in his space-time, he likes to make doomsday devices. He can use his Smell-O-Scope to sniff out just about anything in the known universe but don't ask him for a raise. Who is this loveable, wrinkly old guy?
