“	I'm Scruffy. The janitor.	”
–Scruffy

Scruffy Scruffington is the Planet Express janitor. A recurring joke is that because he interacts so little with the rest of the employees, nobody remembers ever seeing him before. It has been revealed that he owns 40,000 shares of Planet Express, more than anyone else, because he strongly believes in the company. He is lazy and can usually be found in the basement of the building, watching the boiler and reading an edition of Zero-G Juggs or National Pornographic. He almost always refers to himself in the third person.

One of the few times he has been seen outside the Planet Express building is for the stock holders meeting in Future Stock and on Pluto for penguin hunting. He was also seen carting in the Beastie Boys, which may mean that he works for them or at least at the Madison Cube Garden as well as at Planet Express. Scruffy also was seen saving the eco-feminist collective along with previous captives, although he wasn't held captive at all.

In the episode Neutopia Scruffy, along with many other regular characters had their genders swapped. However, Scruffy was the only character who did not have his (her) sex reverted back to normal at the end of the episode. Though, in the next episode, Scruffy was displayed as his normal self.

In the episode The Prisoner of Benda it is revealed that his robotic washbucket harbours romantic feelings for him which it confesses to when its personality is transferred to Amy's body. Scruffy tells Washbucket that nothing can come of it's love because deep down he knows that it's just 'janitorial equipment', he then tells Washbucket to leave before he asks it to stay. When Washbucket leaves he cries, implying that he returns its feelings.

Scruffy has an interesting back story. Originally he was a teacher at Northumberland County College, named Sean (possibly Shaun or Shawn). Last name unknown. One day he was walking in the Ashington area during winter time when he fell under the ice of the QEII and was frozen for 1,000 years. When he became unfrozen he decided to start a new life, and legally changed his name.
