He is heir to Planet Express and the Professor's fortune, being the Professor's closest living relative. He spends most of his time with the Planet Express crew criticising everything, routinely pointing out logical fallacies.

Cubert goes to school with Hermes' son, Dwight, where they are ocassionally bullied by Brett Blob, the son of H. G. Blob.

Trivia

  • Cubert was supposed to appear in A Big Piece of Garbage, but due to time constraints, he was removed entirely.
  • Cubert's original purpose on the show was to sit on the sidelines in all episodes and point out flaws in logic throughout the series. The writers determined this would get obnoxious very quickly and reimagined his role.
  • Cubert may be missing a toe (4ACV07).

Quotes

  • Cubert: What? You've never seen a genius's wiener before?
  • Cubert: That's impossible!
  • Fry: ...All the family the other has. Unless you count Cubert.
    Hermes: No one ever has. Why start now?
  • Professor Farnsworth: Nothing is impossible, not if you can imagine it. That's what being a scientist is all about.
    Cubert: No, that's what being a magical elf is all about.
  • Cubert: Hey, Leela, help me apply these flame decals I got in my cereal. They'll make the ship go faster.
    Leela: And what's your scientific basis for thinking that?
    Cubert: I'm 12.
