Futurama: The Planet Express Crew Ranked From Worst To Best

7. Hermes

Science fiction is a world of wonder and possibilities, but the harsh reality of existence has a lot more bureaucracy than what Star Wars and The Matrix would have you believe. Thankfully for Planet Express, they have the wonderful Hermes Conrad to carry them through as accountant for the company and a level 34 bureaucrat. He often functions in the show as the embodiment of the legal aspects of space travel.

Hermes is played very well by the actor Phil LaMarr and has had some entertaining moments throughout the series. However, his position as the paperwork man has often left him feeling relatively underdeveloped and restricted in regards to what he can do in the fantastical setting.

The show tried to rectify this by adding in a storyline about him being an Olympic Limbo champion which is easily a highlight for the character, but ultimately doesn't save him from being slightly forgettable.

He does have a strong connection with the others - with his hatred of Zoidberg being an excellent source for comedy. But ultimately he's less funny than the rest of the cast and has little going for him as a character.
