He seems to be the only black character (I'm including his family).

So is the the "Token Black guy"?

She's not gay, she's just gay friendly. Like NBC. Or Bravo.

I got a kick out of the DVD commentary for the season 1 eppy where they go to the beach (the Omicronian invasion, I think) and Amy loses her bikini top to Nibbler. Somebody in the studio says (something like) "Whoa....Amy's stacked!" And it _was_ a pretty big difference between topless Amy and clothed Amy....overenthusiastic artists. Hilarious.

Most of the Season 1 commentaries are really good, and a lot of fun to listen to since they all have plenty to talk about. By Season 2 they've already pretty much said whatever they have to say, so they're a little less informative, but still fun to listen to.

Nancy Cartwright was pretty funny in the commentary. On being pregnant while doing the show, "Hey, my water broke, man!"

D'oh! That's what I get for posting after watching the new Simpsons DVD. Anyway, Nancy Cartwright did do a line for Futurama.

I usually watch an episode and then replay it again with the commentary turned on. They do drop in the occasionally informative comment. Who knew the brain slugs were originally supposed to make you smart?

Hermes is a Rasta, so he is a Tokin' character. ;-)

She is in the /Farnsworth Parabox/ episode. Well, two of her.;)

why does it have to be token? i mean.. is Bender the token robot? is Leela the token cyclops? is the Professor the token old person?

they're just different, not token.

What I thought was funny was that my dad got all offended by Hermes. He called him a "Token black guy".
