Cubert J. Farnsworth is Professor Farnsworth’s clone who was revived to take the professor’s place when he turned 160 years old. Cubert initially refused the professor’s plans for him to take over his work and inventions because Cubert found them silly and pointless. He changed his mind after a dream about the workings and mechanics of the Planet Express ship and has since desired to follow in his father’s footsteps.

-Cubert J. Farnsworth: Your explanations are pure weapons grade balonium. It's all impossible.

-Cubert J. Farnsworth: No, that's what being a magical elf is all about.
-Cubert J. Farnsworth: Look Professor. I may be identical to you in every possible way but that doesn't mean I'm anything like you.
-Professor Hubert Farnsworth: You... wha?
-Cubert J. Farnsworth: I don't want to be an inventor. I want to be something useful like a teacher's aide or a prison guard or a science fiction cartoon writer.
