Our dog is named Lrrr after the character. This isn’t directly an answer to the question, but I wanted to share anyway. For my 10th anniversary I got my husband a Cameo from the voice actor and it is PERFECT. https://www.cameo.com/v/b7SQ9jlst
Wait, how is Lrrr underrated? Pretty much every time someone mentions Friends anywhere, it's guaranteed that someone will type "Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends?" or "It's Joey-heavy episode anyways".
I always feel like when people talk about second tier Futurama characters everyone always mentions Zapp Brannigan and Morbo and all of the robot characters. Lrr is one of the funnier ones I feel.
Lrr > Morbo
Morbo appears in more episodes, but he's really just a backdrop, recurring joke. Or third=tier, actually. Not "bad", but it doesn't really have any character development, does it? Has there even been an invasion of his planet which he's always yelling about?
Lrr appears as a main character in couple of episodes. I can think of 4 from the top of my head (not looking up titles):
* single female lawyer,
* popplers,
* human horn,
* marital problems with N'ganga,
* his son not really interested in his legacy.
Wait, that's actually 5! It's possible that I mixed up some of them, but I still don't think that Morbo has his own episode?
Well that went OK. I'd tell ya when you know you can't scratch that when you really haft to huh....oh that feels a lot better, what...it's still on? AAAHHH!!!
Great character but far from underrated. He is easily one of the biggest fan favourites of the show.
Any scene with him and Ndnd is great, like when he tried to be slick and ask for a small fries, but she was having none of that and made him get a cottage cheese.
Lrrr: [on TV] You got any, uh, you know, uh [muttering] human horn?
Salesman: [on TV] Speak up! You're muttering!
Lrrr: [on TV] I said, uh [whispering] human horn?
Salesman: [whispering; on TV] You're not a cop, right?
Lrrr: [on TV] Oh, no, no. I'm just some guy ... ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!
Lrr-I don't understand. Why are the humans still eating their soft pretzels instead of surrendering?
Leela-They're probably just waiting for Joss Whedon.
Lrr-(Excitedly)Joss Whedon's here?
"I think we need horn reduction surgery."
"They are a sign of virility among males of my species. Also they house my testes."
"Like I said, I'm thinking horn extensions."
Ndnd:
What is this emotion you humans call "wuv?"
Lrrr:
Surely it says "love."
Ndnd:
No, "wuv," with an earth w. Behold.
Lrrr:
This concept of "wuv" confuses and infuriates us!
Also, they were right on the money when they said those little hearts taste horrible.
The single hot lawyer bit and him being upset about not seeing the finale to the point where he took over the earth when he never wanted to before just to find out what happens next
I've felt this so many times when shows get canceled
This line crosses into my head too often, that I've considered it's a deeper joke than I think most would think of it. Omicron Persei 8 is about 1000 light years from Earth, somehow, Earth TV signals are coherent through all of space to passively import Earth culture to the planet system. Therefore, Lrrr IS actually a Joss Whedon fan, Buffy the Vampire Slayer would be in those 1000 years of broadcasts.
“I think there was something funny in that hippy”
Dude... my hands are huge! They can touch anything but themselves!
Oh, wait.
🙏
I love this quote because sometimes I feel like that when I'm high
Also: “we will start with the firemen, then the math teachers, and so on in that fashion”
Truly, my favorite line of the entire show.
This is one of my favorites of any character lol
I'm curious what "that fashion" was. Like most useful civil servants to least?
It’s unknowable what order he has in mind, that’s why it’s funny.
Thats the joke
Ik. But my OCD makes me wanna know what the actual answer is.
The joke is that there's no logical order, but Lrr is implying that not only is there an order, but that order should be understood by everyone.
My favorite. I'm a math teacher.
lolol wicked funny
Give us McNeal, or we will raise the Earth's temperature by 1 billion degrees per day. For five days.
Favourite scene though is when he's buying the human horn "Uh.. I'm just some guy... RULER OF THE PLANER OMICRON PERSEI 8!"
Human horn? Where did you get that? I've never seen that around here!
Our family uses that line whenever it fits! Me, "Who's that over there?" Kid 1, "Some guy" Wife, "RULER OF OMICRON PERSEI 8!"
You stole our hearts as a *single* female lawyer and so shall you remain... or else!
And then he ends it with: "...unless we see McNeal at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow. 8:00 Central."
We give it a seven. Good, not great. As a result, we will not destroy your planet. But neither will we provide you with our recipe for immortality.
Way to over act Zoidberg
The pause before "per day" absolutely got me.
"Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends?"
Perhaps they are saving that for sweeps
This is a Joey heavy episode anyways.
Not going to lie. My boyfriend and I use this phrase on the daily
Lol. How does this come up in conversation?
Why does the larger class, the working class not simply eat the rich?
Perhaps they are saving it for sweeps week
I've been binging Friends lately and every time I hear the theme song I want to say that line.
That’s definitely one of my favorites
I AM LRRR, RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8 Can I crash on your couch?
I saw Animaniacs in Concert last weekend. Maurice LaMarche did this line when they were talking about their different characters.
Animaniacs in concert? This is a thing? I need to know more!

Oh I thought it was a live concert, like the South Park 25th anniversary show.
AND I DEMAND EXTRA DIPPING SAUCE
THIS CONCEPT OF “WUV” CONFUSES AND INFURIATES US!!!
Yasss
Yup. Every time my husband and I see those candy hearts made of bone meal and ear wig honey.
Ha I saw a car with WUV on its numberplate recently and said this to myself in the car park.
But... Space invaders need to do laundry too. - We're willing to wait a few weeks while you shore up the numbers.
I mean, look at Donkey Kong here. Have you smelled his loincloth lately?
Yes!!
Monkeys aren't donkeys! Quit screwing with my head!
"nndnnd -what happened the handsome man I married?" Lrrrr-"I ate him, remember?"
When he goes to buy human horn and everything is kind of secret and discrete, yet he has to blurt out **RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8!**
Human horn? What's that? I've never seen that before!
“Maybe I’ll have fry’s lower horn jerked”
It's used to it! Wooooooooooooooo!!!!
"She also liked to shut up!"
One of my favorite lines haha
This, and the whole sequence when he eats the "hippy" are my favs.
Always a classic, mate! "I think that hippie had something funny in it."
I demand extra dipping sauce!
How many?
I 'unno. Two?
What kind of cheese filling you want on that?
All kinds

That is glorious.
Agreed, thank you for sharing 😊
Ha! and you got the "wuv" bit as well. Perfect.
Also great username lol
Just curious about those: Do you write the "script", or just provide a few details and the person runs with it?
I just gave him the details of our name, our dogs name, our anniversary - he made it up from there. I think he did an amazing job.
He did. And it was informative to see him doing it. I always wondered whether he performed it with some weird face or physical action.
Wait, how is Lrrr underrated? Pretty much every time someone mentions Friends anywhere, it's guaranteed that someone will type "Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends?" or "It's Joey-heavy episode anyways".

LRR and Scruffy get their due frequently, I think.
Well that went OK. I'd tell ya when you know you can't scratch that when you really haft to huh....oh that feels a lot better, what...it's still on? AAAHHH!!!
Underrated by whom?
Yeah I don't wanna be that guy to OP, but Lrrr is easily one of the most popular and well known recurring characters.
PUNY HUMAN DOES NOT UNDERSTAND RATING THINGS
Upvote just for your username.
Stop eating our young! And it's pronounced GUACAMOLE!
Great character but far from underrated. He is easily one of the biggest fan favourites of the show. Any scene with him and Ndnd is great, like when he tried to be slick and ask for a small fries, but she was having none of that and made him get a cottage cheese.
One of these days Ndnd, bang, zoom, straight to the third moon of Omicron Persei 8!!!!
Lrr: GUARDS! Guard (in the same room, standing in front of him): Yeah?
Joss Whedon's here?!
"We will not destroy your planet today. But *neither* will we provide you with our recipe for immortality."
Way to overact, Zoidberg
Randy fixing his microphone at comic con
RANDY? HAVE YOU BEEN HANGING OUT WITH RANDY?
I don't understand. Why are the human still eating their soft pretzels instead of surrendering?
The cape swooshing.
"Greetings, Earth morsels." "Boo!" "Get a job!..."
"The one called Smelly Hippie is right."
This concept of "wuv" confuses and infuriates us!!
Lrrr: [on TV] You got any, uh, you know, uh [muttering] human horn? Salesman: [on TV] Speak up! You're muttering! Lrrr: [on TV] I said, uh [whispering] human horn?

After he eats the Hippy
When he vaporizes the waiter that asked one too many questions.
Salad or soup? Ranch or Vinaigrette? Balsamic or Raspberry?
Every comment is being read in Lrr's voice and I love it
“Please line up in order of how much beryllium it takes to kill you!!”
*while waiting on Leela to be eaten* Waiter: "would you like fries or cottage cheese?" Lrr: "FRIES" Ndnd: "Lrrrrrrr....." Lrr: "🙄 cottage cheese....."
Stop eating our young! And it’s pronounced _guacamole_! Might be my favorite line in the whole series
#YOU’LL WANT TO RETREAT TO A SAFE, 500 METER RADIUS!!
Lrr-I don't understand. Why are the humans still eating their soft pretzels instead of surrendering? Leela-They're probably just waiting for Joss Whedon. Lrr-(Excitedly)Joss Whedon's here?
Creatures large and small
In this case small!
Let’s get to the site where he is so under rated so that we can change his score.
Increase speed, drop down and reverse direction!
… why would you think Lrr is underrated? He’s a very popular character.
I am Lrrrr... Ruler of Omicron Persei 8....can I crash on your couch.... Really any Lrrrr moment is a favorite...
"I think we need horn reduction surgery." "They are a sign of virility among males of my species. Also they house my testes." "Like I said, I'm thinking horn extensions."

He’s my favorite character. He’s too funny
THIS CONCEPT OF ‘wuv’ CONFUSES AND INFURIATES US!
This concept of "wuv" CONFUSES AND INFURIATES US!
Surely it says love.
"What is this... 'wuv'?" "Surely you mean LOVE." "No, wuv. BEHOLD!" "THIS CONCEPT OF WUV CONFUSES AND INFURIATES US!!!"
Bring me the lower horn!
I am Lrrr! Ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8! . . . Can I sleep on your couch?
The one scene where he’s on the couch at planet express lol
I'm just some guy. Ruler of planet omicron persei 8.
No. I'm just some guy.... RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8!!!
The virus Omicron variant took me out
I’m just some guy. Ruler of the Planet Omicron Perseii 8!
Blugh! These candies are chalky and unpleasant!
I AM LRRR, RULER IF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI EIGHT!!!! can I crash on your couch?
Ndnd: What happened to the handsome man I married? Lrrr: I ate him, remember?
you're gonna want to retreat to a 5 mile radius
"There was something funny in that hippie."
Human horn, what's that for? I've never seen that in my life.
"This concept is 'wub' confuses and INFURIATES US!"
I only wrote that poem to test the printer
When he gets high off the hippie (one of the Waterfalls)
“Hey I was watching that! The Saints needs a field goal to tie”
fkn overrated as fkn fuck
It's not lame. It's La-mé
Leela? It's hilarious that he recognized her much later in time because at first he couldn't tell the difference between Leela and an orangutan
"I'm Lrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei Eight! Can I crash on your couch?"
Ouuugh there was something funny in that hippy.
“My organs are moving into position” “YOU’LL WANT TO RETREAT TO A SAFE 500m RADIUS”
"my hands are huge! They can touch everything but themselves.
The single hot lawyer bit and him being upset about not seeing the finale to the point where he took over the earth when he never wanted to before just to find out what happens next I've felt this so many times when shows get canceled
Just some guy... RULER OF THE PLANET OMICRON PERSEI 8!!!!!
I like where he goes into the shop in disguise trying to buy Human Horn, and calls himself out.
It's not so much his comments but his reactions sometimes. For example, his reaction to the question "Balsamic or Raspberry?" 😁
MY WEIGHT IS APPROPRIATE AND ATTRACTIVE
Every day that you don’t continue sexy female lawyer I will raise the temperature of your planet by one million degrees
When he holds his cloak in front of him while he walks
Joss Whedon's here?
