Here you can talk about Morbo...The host of A2 news who thinks all humans are puny and inferior...He is also is good friends with President Nixon's head....And has a numerous and belligerent family.
Morbo
(Voiced by Maurice LaMarche) - The so-called "News Monster," Morbo is anchor for √2 News, Entertainment and Alien Invasion Tonight, Good Morning Earth, and other shows on the √2 Television Network. Morbo's character design is based on the aliens from the 1957 science fiction movie Invasion of the Saucer Men.
Morbo is actually an undercover scout for an alien invasion, but doesn't bother to be subtle about it and frequently comments on his species' violent invasion plans, and expresses his contempt for humans. His co-host, Linda whom he refers to as "Human Female," seems blissfully unaware of this, and usually responds with an empty-headed laugh to Morbo's contempt. Morbo has a great love for Lipps Inc's song "Funkytown", and apparently has something hideous where his chest is. The physical structure of his skull is different than humans as in "Crimes of the Hot" his head inflates and deflates like a balloon when he pants from the heat (However, in The 30% Iron Chef, X-Rays shown that his skull is the reason his head is shaped as it is.) He has uncharacteristic moments, such as in "The 30% Iron Chef"; he describes Bender's food as proving that, "even hideous things can be sweet on the inside," and breaks down into tears, although this is while under the influence of LSD. In addition, kittens give Morbo gas, implying that they are part of his diet.
He has a wife, Fawn, of the same species, mentioned in "The 30% Iron Chef" and seen briefly in "Three Hundred Big Boys" and "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings". Morbo speaks to her with his characteristic hostility but she pays no attention. When asked "How's the family?" by Nixon's head, he grumpily replies "Belligerent and numerous".
Morbo is good friends with President Richard Nixon's head. In the episode "A Head in the Polls", Morbo is the mediator of the debate and refers to the candidates as "Puny human number 1, Puny human number 2, and Morbo's good friend, Richard Nixon." He has made only two appearances in the series where he doesn't threaten to destroy Earth. As a TV host who hates humans, he often makes comments such as "Tremble puny humans, one day my race will destroy you all!" followed by a sinister laugh.
On the DVD commentaries for Futurama, Maurice LaMarche always points out that various characters he voices "sound nothing like Morbo or Lrrr" as a running gag.
"Morbo" means "morbid curiosity" in Spanish, this is related with the sensationalism of his news broadcasting.
