Tektiv

Tektiv is a fictional technology company that appears in the animated television series Futurama. The company is known for producing a wide range of consumer electronics and household appliances, often with quirky and unreliable features. Its products are frequently depicted as being overly complicated, prone to malfunction, or having unintended side effects. Examples of TekTiv products seen in the show include robot butlers, holographic entertainment systems, and advanced kitchen appliances. Despite the often humorous portrayal of its faulty goods, TekTiv remains a prominent brand within the Futurama universe, suggesting a large market presence and a consistent, if flawed, output. The company's name is a portmanteau of "tech" and "detective," hinting at a focus on innovative or problem-solving technology, though its actual products often fall short of this ideal. The company's logo is a stylized magnifying glass. TekTiv products are often purchased by the main characters, leading to various comedic situations arising from their malfunctions. The company's longevity in the show's universe despite its product issues highlights a satirical element regarding consumerism and brand loyalty.
