MurtCo

MurtCo is a fictional corporation that appears in the animated television series Futurama. Created by Matt Groening, the company is often depicted as a monolithic and ubiquitous entity within the Futurama universe, involved in a wide range of industries and products. Its presence is a running gag throughout the series, symbolizing the pervasive nature of corporate power and consumerism in the 31st century.

The company's logo, a stylized "M" combined with a dollar sign, is frequently seen on buildings, vehicles, and merchandise. MurtCo is known for its diverse operations, which have included everything from food production and retail to space travel and the development of advanced technology. Its products are often portrayed as either overly expensive, of questionable quality, or possessing unintended and humorous side effects.

Throughout Futurama, MurtCo serves as a recurring antagonist or a source of conflict for the Planet Express crew. Characters like Bender Bending Rodríguez have a complex relationship with the company, sometimes working for it and other times actively opposing its ventures. The company's executives are often depicted as greedy and uncaring, further reinforcing the satirical commentary on corporate culture. MurtCo's pervasive influence highlights the show's exploration of themes such as capitalism, consumerism, and the potential downsides of unchecked corporate expansion.
