Richard Nixon
(Voiced by Billy West) - Of all of the celebrity heads, Richard Nixon's is the most seen throughout the series. Nixon's Head is introduced in the pilot episode when Fry and Bender run into the head museum to evade the police. They wander into the Hall of Presidents, and Fry knocks Nixon's head off the shelf by accident. In "A Head in the Polls", Nixon's head achieves mobility by having his jar mounted on Bender's body. He then runs for President of Earth, winning by a single vote (non-felon robots can vote and were widely impressed by Nixon's head's robotic "charisma"). Nixon's head returns Bender's body the night before the election, blackmailed by an audio recording Bender had made of Nixon's head ranting about the stupidity of voters and his intent, if elected, to go into people's houses at night and "wreck up the place" and to sell children's organs to zoos for meat. He manages to quickly secure a much larger robotic body, smashing his way into the White House after his election.
Nixon's head's administration is marked by a violent and aggressive foreign policy, frequently entering into wars which have little or no purpose, and which occasionally backfire, leading to Earth being invaded by alien forces. Nixon's head is a common character throughout the series, providing humor through his 1960s outlook on life and his aggressive, unpredictable persona. Nixon's head is sometimes accompanied by the headless body of Spiro T. Agnew, Nixon's first historical Vice President. Agnew's body, however, is given to Ogden Wernstrom as a form of payment in "Crimes of the Hot". In the final episode, "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", Nixon's head is pulled into Robot Hell by the Robot Devil.
In several commentaries, Billy West has commented that he is not impersonating Richard Nixon for the role; he's impersonating Anthony Hopkins in the movie Nixon (with "a little bit of werewolf"). Matt Groening also frequently expresses his pleasure that he can continue to poke fun at Nixon thirty or forty years after he was in office.
I cant believe we haven't got a thread on him...so now we have.
"Fixed!!!!!!!... like Kennedy fixed the 1960 election....Damn bean eating war hero" lmao!!!
Um......so........yay, Nixon?....um....well.....I........um.......

one of my favorite lines from A Head in the Polls
Fry: "Hey, I remember you. I was gonna vote for you one time. But voting isn't cool. So I stayed home alone and got trashed on listerine."
Gerald Ford: "Frankly, I've never felt voting to be all that essential to the process."
Richard Nixon: "No kidding, Ford."

I like Richard Nixon's head. It was a great joke right from the first episode. I like the character, but I can't seem to find many pictures of him... I did find that the Zapp Brannigan Toynami Action Figure actually has a Richard Nixon's head on a podium, so I bought that. :D
I think he's my second favorite character, I have a thing for support characters...

Yay...it's revived!! :D
I love the head of Nixon. I always wondered why he didn't keep his huge robot body. Like many others one of my favorite parts is when he's busting through the White House.
"Nixon's BAAAAACK!!!"
I also love the line, "Who's kicking who around now?" I cracked up the first time I heard it. That was a clever reference. lol
In closing....AROOOOOOOOOOO!
