Hermes Conrad is a Jamaican Bureaucrat, and proud of both. He works at Planet Express, handling stamping, filing, collating, and accounting - all the fiddly little paperwork that only a true bureaucrat can handle properly. He is also an honorary Globetrotter.

While he was born and raised in Jamaica, he moved to New New York with his wife LaBarbara. They now have a teenage son, Dwight.

Bureaucracy is in Hermes' bones, but before becoming a bureaucrat he was an Olympic limboist. In the 2980 Olympic Games, he competed in the 200 meter limbo for the Jamaican team and came in 2nd place to Barbados Slim, LaBarbara's ex-husband. Then, in a tragic accident, a young fan attempting to emulate his hero broke his spine trying to limbo as low as Hermes. Hermes dropped out of professional limbo immediately afterwards, but took it up again when his limboing skills alone could save the entire Planet Express crew from certain death in the destruction of the space cruise ship Titanic. In 3004, when the entire Jamaican limbo team was detained at the airport because of their "other interests," Hermes was called back out of retirement to defend his country's pride (4ACV13). He came in dead last due to a freak accident with his special limboing suit.

Catchphrase

Hermes' basic catchphrase is "Sweet [something] of [someplace]!" (the 'something' and the 'someplace' usually rhyme)
Variations include the following:

  • Sweet Llamas of the Bahamas!
  • Sweet Lion of Zion!
  • Sweet Three-toed Sloth of Ice Planet Hoth!
  • Sweet bongo of the Congo!
  • Sweet Yeti of Saranghetti!! She's gone crazy-eddy in the headdy!!

Hermes also loves yelling "My Manwich!" after it is stolen by either Bender or Zoidberg

Hermes sometimes mentions green snakes and sugarcanes including:

  • Our electricity bill is climbing faster than a green snake up a sugarcane!
  • I'm hungrier than a green snake in a sugarcane field.
  • That's flatter than a green snake under a sugarcane truck.

Another possible catchphrase is that he shows hatred at Zoidberg for no real reason at bizzare times. For example, when a currently blind Leela broke the ceiling of Planet Express, Hermes turned to Zoidberg and said "That's coming out of your pay!", which brought Zoidberg to tears. Also, when Fry suggested Zoidberg had a parasite, Hermes followed up with "Maybe he is a parasite!".

Quotes

  • Hermes: When push comes to shove, you've got to do what you love, even if it's not a good idea.
  • Hermes: Like my granny used used to say back in her tarpaper shack on Montego Bay, "If you want a box thrown into the sun, you got to do it yourself."
  • Fry: Jamaican? I thought you were some kind of outer-space potato man.
  • Hermes: My Speedos!
  • Hermes: My manwich!
  • Hermes: OK captain, dis is just a standard legal release, protecting Planet Express in de event of de unforeseen.
    Leela: (reading) Death by airlock failure.
    Hermes: Uh-huh.
    Leela: Death by brain parasite.
    Hermes: Yah.
    Leela: Death by sonic diarrhea.
    Hermes: Oh, you don't want dat...
    Leela: Look, I don't know about your previous captains, but I intend to do as little dying as possible.
    Hermes: (laughing) Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! (dead serious) Sign de paper.
