- "I was an owl exterminator""
- ―Igner
Igner is the youngest and most pitiful of Mom's three sons. His older brothers are Walt and Larry. Like them he owns a 0.1% share in MomCorp. His intelligence is extremely low, and he often displays the symptoms of mental retardation. He speaks in a stereotypically moronic voice, and is often found saddled with the worst tasks by his brothers, being bullied into wearing Mom's bra, and playing the part of Pamela Anderson's body for her head in a jar. His immaturity means he gets disgusted easy, and he has a tendency to repeat what he hears without full comprehension, for example: in "Bender's Game," Igner repeats the phrase "We're owl exterminators" twice, and pronounces exterminators wrong.
In "Bender's Game", Igner helps Fry, Leela and Farnsworth escape his persuing brothers, by denying that he had seen anybody to Walt. However, while everybody else was going along with the Dungeons and Dragons/Lord of the Rings parody, Igner's alternate reality persona got confused and pulled out a lightsaber, and started parodying Star Wars.
It was revealed in "Bender's Game" that Igner is the son of Hubert J. Farnsworth, making him the distant nephew/great-grandson of Fry and half-brother of Cubert, while his brothers have so far been assumed as the sons of Mom and Wernstrom.
Trivia
- His name may be a play on the word ignorant which essentially means "stupid"
