Billy West revives Futurama's Zapp Brannigan to say Donald Trump’s words
Billy West, who voiced Philip J. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, and Dr. Zoidberg and a bunch of other characters on Futurama, has begun recording himself parroting Donald Trump’s words as the cartoon’s egomaniacal space captain, Zapp Brannigan. West has uploading the clips on Twitter under the hashtag #MakeAmericaBrannigan.
The results are hilarious because Trump’s words often read like a rough draft of a Brannigan monologue.
The results are hilarious because Trump’s words fit so perfectly as Brannigan.

West seems to have been inspired by the memes that have pasted Trump’s words to pictures of Brannigan. There’s only a handful of videos up on his Twitter feed at the moment, but he’s promised that there’ll be plenty more in the future.
Oh there's more where that came from; he just keeps giving. https://t.co/Cblgox3cr6
