The king of Flatbush is an inhabitant of the second dimension. When Fry, Leela, Bender, and Professor Farnsworth were in this dimension, in 3013, he held a feast in their honour, but, after the professor tried to convince him that there was a third dimension, he ordered his death. The crew then made their way to the ship and flew away (7ACV15).

Production

The king of Flatbush was first seen in a Countdown to Futurama preview clip for 7ACV15, in April 2013. [1]
