A Grunka Lunka is a type of Alien race. They are small orange men with green hair. In an attempt to cover up the true nature of Slurm, the Slurm Worms pay the Grunka Lunkas to work at the fake Slurm Factory whenever tourists visit. They try to sing and dance, but are stopped by either Bender or Glurmo. They finally sing a whole song, but are then denied their bathroom break.
One appeared in Leela's dream sequence when she asked the What-If Machine what would it be like if she found her true home.
Trivia[]
- They are based on the characters from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Oompa-Loompas. More specifically, their design seems to be based on their appearance in the 1971 film adaptation.
