| ~ Walt, Larry, and Igner's signature wail whenever they are in trouble. |
Walt, Larry, and Igner are major antagonists in the show Futurama. They are Mom's three abused sons and henchmen.
They are devoted to serving their mother and her schemes, as she often sets them out on dubious missions. Despite their comical personalities and characteristics, they often succeed in their tasks.
However, despite their unending love for their mother, they would sometimes not be in favor of her overthrowing humanity, and would not hesitate to team up with the other characters (presumably the Planet Express Crew). At one point, one of their plans involved Professor Farnsworth getting back together with Mom, thinking she might be happy and change her mind.
Members[]
Walt[]
Walt is one of the recurring antagonists. He is the oldest and most intelligent of Mom's three sons. He owns 0.1% of MomCorp, while his brothers Larry and Igner own the remaining 0.2%. He is the most like his mother in personality, with deeply devious and malicious tendencies. He has on multiple occasions abused his younger brothers. In his mother's absence, he takes charge of the situation. What keeps him in line is his apparent Oedipus Complex - he has an unhealthy admiration for his psychotic mother, despite her regular abuse of him, and has even admitted that someday, he wishes to marry a woman like her.
Despite Walt's supposed intelligence, the plans he concocts are markedly ridiculous, such as impersonating Mr. Panucci to elicit information from Fry and having the trio pose as owl exterminators to get the anti-backward crystal when he knows absolutely nothing about owls or their extermination. They only work because it's Fry the plans are mostly directed at.
Another example of Walt's childishness is shown in the episode "Mother's Day". When he learns that Professor Farnsworth is the man who broke Mom's heart, like a child whose parents have separated, he assumes that bringing Farnsworth and Mom back together should be a simple task that will make her happy and thus everything will be alright again. Another example is in "Overclockwise", where after he and his brothers lost in a video game thanks to Bender and Cubert Farnsworth, despite him saying that they would handle this situation as mature adults, he instead whined and complained to Mom that they "didn't play fair".
He is voiced by Maurice LaMarche, who also voiced Lrrr, The Big Brain, Melllvar, the Donbot, Francis X. Clampazzo, Fishy Joe, and Leonardo da Vinci in the same series, as well as Father in Codename: Kids Next Door, Mr. Big in Zootopia, Mortimer Mouse in the Mickey Mouse franchise, Koto in All Hail King Julien, Dr. Nitrus Brio in Crash Bandicoot, Mr. Freeze and Calendar Man in the Batman: Arkham video game series, Yosemite Sam in the Looney Tunes franchise, Estroy in Evil con Carne, and Brain in Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain.
Larry[]
Larry is the sniveling and shy middle child of Mom's three sons, and is somewhat less intelligent than Walt, but nonetheless the most stable of the three. Unfortunately, he is entirely submissive to his older brother and mother, agreeing with everything thеy say. He apologizes for almost everything that goes wrong, even when it's not his fault, and thanks to his mother for insults and slaps.
Larry is struck the most often of all of Mom's sons, and not as one would think, Igner. This is probably because the writers decided that having Igner struck for his immature statements and infantile behavior would be a lot less funny than striking Larry for no reason.
Of the three sons, Larry seems to be the most normal and has been shown trying to get a date in the series and in the comics. In "Put Your Head On My Shoulders" he is seen standing outside Bender's dating service for the miserably lonely. In issue #34 of the comics, he is shown using speed-dating and is implied to have a crush on Amy and talking briefly to her, who comments that while he seems a nice guy, but she already has a boyfriend.
He is voiced by David Herman, who also voiced Project Satan, That Guy, Robot Mayor, Pickles, Alcazar, Nudar, and Professor Ogden Wernstrom in the same series, as well as Erol in the Jak and Dexter video game series.
Igner[]
Igner is the youngest and most pitiful of Mom's three sons. Like his brothers, he owns a 0.1% share in MomCorp. His intelligence is extremely low, and he often displays the symptoms of mental retardation. He speaks in a stereotypically moronic voice, and is often found saddled with the worst tasks by his brothers, being bullied into wearing Mom's bra, and playing the part of Pamela Anderson's body for her head in a jar. His immaturity means he gets disgusted easy, and he has a tendency to repeat what he hears without full comprehension, for example: in Bender's Game, Igner repeats the phrase "We're owl exterminators" twice, and pronounces exterminators wrong.
In Bender's Game, Igner helps Fry, Leela, and Farnsworth escape his pursuing brothers, by denying that he had seen anybody to Walt. However, while everybody else was going along with the Dungeons and Dragons/Lord of the Rings parody, Igner's alternate reality persona got confused and pulled out a lightsaber, and started parodying Star Wars.
It was revealed in Bender's Game that Igner is the son of Professor Farnsworth, making him the distant nephew of Fry and half-brother of Cubert, while his brothers have so far been assumed as the sons of Mom and Wernstrom.
He is voiced by John DiMaggio, who also voiced Bender Bending Rodríguez and Joey Mousepad in the same series, as well as the Joker in Batman: Under the Red Hood, General Grievous in Star Wars: Clone Wars, Brother Blood in Teen Titans Go!, Uka Uka in Crash Bandicoot, Arthur in Ralph Breaks the Internet, Lobo in Justice League: Action League, Jekhide in Mia and the Magoo, Nitro Zeus in Transformers: Age of Extinction, Hannibal McFist in Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, Trigon in Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, Hans the Puffin in The Penguins of Madagascar, BlackJack SquarePants in SpongeBob SquarePants, Jesse and Woolter in Zootopia, and Dr. Drakken in Kim Possible.
Trivia[]
- Out of the three brothers, Larry is the most seen and has made various non-spoken cameos in various episodes.
- Some of their behavior, as well as them getting hit or hitting each other in most of their appearances, are based on the Three Stooges.
- There's even the common fact that one of them is named Larry.
- Despite being one of Mom's three minions, Walt's appearance and personality is based on stereotypes of evil masterminds and although he is the smarter than his two brothers and is often considered the leader of the trio.
