Everything's going to happen just as I fake predicted!
~ Pickles bragging about the success of his plan.

Pickles is the main antagonist of the Futurama episode "Law & Oracle". He is a robot who can see the future and serves as the oracle for the Future Crimes Division.

He is voiced by David Herman, who also voices Robot Mayor, Larry, Roberto, the King of Flatbush, That Guy, Alcazar, Nudar, Professor Ogden Wernstrom, Dr. Banjo, and Project Satan in the same series, as well as Erol in the Jak video game series, Mr. Miller in Bob's Burgers, and Ms. Censordoll in Morel Orel.

Overview[]

Pickles, who has the ability to see into the future, is the Oracle for the Future Crimes Division of the NNYPD (New New York Police Department). He is programmed with a human brain that contains the knowledge of history's greatest detectives, and so helps police officers stop crimes before they happen. He communicates the nature of the crime by releasing colored balls into a bathtub, with the ball's color reflecting what kind of offense will be committed - red for murder, black for larceny, and pink with polka dots for clownslaughter.

"Law & Oracle"[]

Pickles shows new NNYPD recruit Philip J. Fry a vision of a swindler murdering Hattie MacDoogal, which allows Fry and his partner URL to stop the crime before it happens, earning Fry's trust.

Eventually, Pickles grows tired of always knowing the future, and so concocts a plan to steal the Maltese Liquor, a a beverage so high in alcohol content that only robots can drink it, so he can kill his human brain cells and live in blissful ignorance.

To avoid getting caught, he forms a fake predictive memory showing Bender Bending Rodríguez stealing the liquor, and Fry shooting him dead. For insurance just in case Fry does not arrest Bender, his best friend, Pickles creates another fake vision in which the rest Fry's friends in the Planet Express crew drink the liquor, which kills them instantly. Fry sees both visions, and goes to Hedonismbot's mansion, where the liquor is housed, to try to talk Bender out of stealing it.

Fry does manage to persuade Bender not to steal the liquor, but as he celebrates his success, Pickles emerges from the shadows and holds them both at gunpoint. He explains his plan, prompting Fry to shoot at him; the bullet ricochets off of the invisible safe in which the liquor is kept and hits Bender. Pickles gloats that he will frame Fry for both the robbery and Bender's murder, and then drinks the liquor, joyfully proclaiming that, finally, he has no idea what will happen next.

Just then, however, Fry and Bender spring to life, removing the body armor they were wearing. They then reveal that the Chief of Police and URL were listening in the entire time and got Pickles' confession on tape. Pickles demands to know what happened, and Fry explains that he knew the vision of Bender sharing the liquor with the Planet Express crew was fake, as Bender would never share anything, so he set up a sting operation to catch Pickles. The Chief and URL take Pickles into custody, and Fry is promoted to Detective - although he is simultaneously fired for tipping Bender off in the first place due to the fact that the police were onto him. Pickles is then imprisoned for his crimes, leaving the Future Crimes Division in shambles.

Trivia[]

  • Pickles is a parody of Agatha Lively, a character in the 2002 film Minority Report.
