Francis X. Clampazzo (6ACV14), commonly known as Clamps, is probably the most violent goon of the Robot Mafia, ready to attack anyone at any time.

Biography

Clamps attended four years of clamping school and, in July 3011, worked at Planet Express (6ACV14).

Character description

Clamps' clamps are a rarely seen style of robot hand, that are apparently replaceable (Donbot offered to give Blotto a pair), and require regular maintenance. However this may be due to overuse. Clamps has a scar, riveted back together, below his right eye.

Production

As evidenced by the commentary for "Bendless Love", the producers wanted 'Clamp clamp ka-bamp!' to be his catchphrase.

Quotes

    Clamps: He's champin' for a clampin'!

    Clamps: It's gonna be clamp this, clamp that. Bada-climp, bada-clamp!

    Joey: They're coming straight toward our proximity. Maybe you should give 'em the clamps, Clamps.
    Clamps: Gee, you think? You think that maybe I should use these clamps that I use every single day at every opportunity? [shouting] You're a freaking genius, you idiot!

    Clamps: Alright, boss, give the word and I'll drop this unbendable girder. Clamp, clamp, ka-bamp!

    Clamps: Ooh, that's gotta clamp!
