For other uses, see Agnew (disambiguation).

The headless body of Spiro Agnew was the Vice President during Richard Nixon's U.S. presidency, as well as the Vice President during his Earth presidency. Unlike his U.S. vice presidency, Agnew died while Earth Vice President.

Nixon traded off Agnew to Wernstrom as a payment for the destruction of the robot party on the Galapagos Islands. However, as Wernstrom failed, he remained the Vice President.

Agnew's fate was sealed during a game of miniature golf at Leo Wong's Wongminster, when the eco-feminist protest group, the Feministas, disrupted the play and accidentally killed Agnew with a run away golf cart.

Despite the fact that Agnew is headless, he is still capable of making growling noises.

Agnew's body was apparently cloned sometime between Into the Wild Green Yonder and "A Farewell to Arms".

Production

According to the commentary of "Crimes of the Hot", the idea for the character was from Eric Kaplan.

Additional Info

Trivia

Unlike most famous people, his body has been preserved without his head, instead of the other way around.
He can be heard making noises, but it would seem he does not have vocal cords as almost all of his neck is missing.
He is probably inspired by the Frankenstein monster, played by Boris Karloff in the 1931 movie "Frankenstein", as his grunts are very similar to the monster.
He was born two days before the end of the First World War.

Quotes

-==Biography==
+{{otheruses|Agnew (disambiguation)}}
-Spiro Agnew served briefly as the Vice President under Richard Nixon, although he resigned after being charged with tax evasion.
-The headless body of Spiro Theodore Agnew appears briefly in the episode "Crimes of the Hot." He is given to Wormstrum as payment for the destruction of all the robots currently partying on the Galapagos Islands. His behavior mostly mimics that of the Frankenstein monster, although it could be less specific than that.
+The '''headless body of {{w|Spiro Agnew}}''' was the [[Vice President of the United States|Vice President]] during [[Richard Nixon's head|Richard Nixon]]'s [[President of the United States|U.S. presidency]], as well as the [[Vice President of Earth|Vice President]] during his [[President of Earth|Earth presidency]].  Unlike his U.S. vice presidency, Agnew died while Earth Vice President.
-The only sound we hear him make is growling which is odd for two reasons. First, he is headless. Second, even if his vocal chords were still inside of his neck, it is covered with a metal plate.
+Nixon traded off Agnew to [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]] as a payment for the destruction of the robot party on the [[Galapagos Islands]].  However, as Wernstrom failed, he remained the Vice President.
-We have yet to see Agnew's head, although we likely never will. Spiro is much less of a cultural icon than Nixon, and the majority Futurama's audience would not know who he is.
+Agnew's fate was sealed during a game of miniature golf at [[Leo Wong]]'s [[Wongminster Miniature Golf Club|Wongminster]], when the eco-feminist protest group, the [[Feministas]], disrupted the play and accidentally killed Agnew with a run away golf cart.
