Calculon: The Self-Absorbed Robot from Futurama

He's so full of himself LOL

He's an overly dramatic, histrionic psychopath! LOL

Say Hello to the infamous Calculon. The "star" of Futurama's hit daytime television soap opera All My Circuits. A parody of All My Children.

Just the mere utter of his name sends my eyes rolling. LOL 

He has an over-inflated sense of importance 

His acting skills are definitely cringe-worthy times a million. He performs with the same affect regardless of the scene. While watching him it sends my brain cells in a fit as they're being deprived of anything worth watching. 

To make matters worse he can't even seem to remember his lines and can be repeatedly heard yelling "LINE?" to refresh his memory causing the set to constantly hault to accommodate his incompetence. Talk about inconsiderate! It seems as if he doesn't even study the roles. He has one steady act: 

He operates with a Take it or Leave it attitude where the rules of acting are reversed. In our world actors are made to morph into characters to invoke specific emotions within the viewer. It's all about appealing to the viewer's needs and expectations. It's a gift. On the contrary in Futurama he forces his viewers to like him no matter what.

I think what we have here is a bunch of enablers. For without them supporting this nonsense Calculon wouldn't be able to thrive. His inflated self-esteem is validated by the admiration of his fans.

Somebody please get this guy some quality acting coaching!

This clip really stuck with me & had me laughing for years actually. He starts off by telling the bride & groom that it's "all about them". Then quickly turns away from them to sing a song entirely about himself. The lyrics are below:

Who's that singing at your wedding?
It's Calculon
Calculon, Calculon-on!

What was supposed to be a special moment for two. With them of course as the center of attention quickly turned into yet again a moment and opportunity for Calculon to quickly shift the focus onto himself.

He's so devoted to his "acting career" that he died while in the process of a suicide scene on All My Circuits. He wanted it to look more believable so he ended up actually committing suicide accidentally. Talk about dedicated. XD
