==The Story==<br />
===Act I: So these three parasitic worms bore into a human's head...===<br />
During amateur nite at the Comedy Simulator, [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] follows [[Humorbot 5.0]]. Unfortunately, Zoidberg isn't funny at all, and gets booed off the stage.<br />
<br />
Zoidberg is miserable, because his uncle Zoid was a comedian, and he wants to follow in his footsteps. The [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]], being a [[Harold Zoid]] fan, pulls out an old 78 Million RPM HoloDisk to show the crew. The HoloDisk shows an old silent film, in which Harold Zoid portrays a barber who ends up beheading his customer. Zoidberg decides to write a letter to his uncle to ask for help on his comedy routine. He writes the letter using ink collected from his ink pouch.<br />
<br />
In the Final Curtain: Old Actors' Home, Harold Zoid reads the letter. Another resident of the home asks Harold Zoid what the [[Coinage#S|scribble-di-gook]] is. Harold Zoid explains that Zoidberg may be his ticket out of the home, and then writes a letter to Zoidberg asking for money and telling Zoidberg to come to Hollywood, which Zoidberg reads to the crew.<br />
<br />
===Act II: Welcome to Hollywood!===<br />
<br />
They set off for Hollywood. The crew then goes on a tour bus. [[30th Century Fox]] studios is the first stop. Bender jumps off the bus when it passes [[Calculon]]'s house, and impersonates a hot-water heater to gain entry. Zoidberg then leaves the tour to meet Uncle Zoid for lunch.<br />
<br />
Uncle Zoid tells Zoidberg that he's unfunny, and tells him he should go into drama. Conveniently, Uncle Zoid has a script for a drama, but needs a million dollars to get it produced, and Zoidberg agrees.<br />
<br />
===Act III: The legendary Harold Zoid!===<br />
Zoidberg is upset about lieing to his uncle, but Bender comes in and offers to ask Calculon for the money. The crew goes to the studio, and Bender presents the script to Calculon. Bender entices him by guaranteeing Calculon the Oscar. Initially, Calculon declines on the basis that he doesn't like the font. However, once he spots the legendary Harold Zoid's name, he agrees to star in the film.<br />
<br />
The film, "[[The Magnificent Three]]", is about a son, the vice-president, who doesn't wish to follow in his father's footsteps (the president).<br />
<br />
Harold Zoid turns out to be a horrible director, and gives ridiculous instructions to the actors and extras. While looking for a parking spot for the premiere, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] lands the [[Planet Express Ship|ship]] in the La Brea Tar Pit, and the ship sinks, trapping her and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. Not surprisingly, the film's premiere is a terrible failure. Calculon threatens to kill Bender, Zoidberg, and Uncle Zoid, if they don't get him the Oscar.<br />
<br />
===Act IV: How 'bout we rig the awards?===<br />
When the Oscar nominations are announced, The Magnificent Three is snubbed. Calculon is infuriated, and Uncle Zoid offers to rig the awards.<br />
<br />
Leela is unable to start the ship to escape the tar, and Fry spots a caveman skeleton outside the window, which he misidentifies as Sylvester Stallone.<br />
<br />
Back at the home, Uncle Zoid despairs. Zoidberg, however, sets off to save their lives.<br />
<br />
At the Oscars, Bender sneaks Zoidberg inside disguised as food. Harold Zoid enters and tells Joan Rivers' head that he's only there to fill space.<br />
<br />
===Act V: I always knew I'd die at the bottom of a pit, but a pit full of tar?===<br />
Billy Crystal's head, the host, begins giving out the awards. The Planet Express Ship hits the bottom of the tar pit, and Leela detects the L.A. subway system below them.<br />
<br />
Bender and Zoidberg take over and Zoidberg announces Calculon as a nominee for Best Actor. Zoidberg sees Uncle Zoid's depression, and announces him the winner instead. Harold Zoid makes an acceptance speech, and then takes Zoidberg and Bender to the afterparty. Calculon storms in and demands the oscar, but gives it back. Then the ground begins to shake, and the Planet Express Ship explodes from the subway system. Fry and Leela are allowed into the party because the caveman's skeleton has stuck to Fry's pant leg, and the doorman assumes it's Sylvester Stallone.<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Zoidberg's showname Bobcat Zoidberg references [[wikipedia: Bobcat Goldthwait|Bobcat Goldthwait]], but his comedy style is similar to [[wikipedia:Yakov Smirnoff|Yakov Smirnoff]]<br />
*The commentaries actually mention [http://www.gotfuturama.com/ gotfuturama.com]<br />
*The head of ''Star Wars'' character [[Wikipedia:Jar Jar Binks|Jar-Jar Binks]] is in the audience.<br />
<br />
===Quotes===<br />
'''Boxy Robot''': *beep*<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*The 78 Million RPM HoloDisk may be spelled wrong. General useage implies that optical media should be spelled "disc" while magnetic media is spelled "disk". The holodisk appears to be an optical disc (a spoof on a large laserdisc, actually), but it's unclear whether the phonograph needle used to play the holodisk is an optical or magnetic reader.<br />
*Although the words "Star Trek" are supposedly banned, "Star Trek: The Pepsi Generation" is nominated for best product placement. The commentaries cover by claiming they actually said "Start Wreck".<br />
*When Leela and Fry go into the Hollywood party, Leela walks through a post.<br />

A '''Killbot''' is a type of [[robot]], which is programmed for one purpose: murdering organic life forms. For unknown reasons, a kill limit of 999,999 was hardcoded into the killbots.<br />
<br />
[[Zapp Brannigan]] once faced a horde of these killing machines. However, he defeated them by sacrificing thousands of his own men, until the killbots' kill limit was reached. When the kill-limit is reached, killbots become peaceful and in fact rather friendly. However, their kill counter has the option of being reset, which reactivates their ability to kill.<br />
<br />
Additionally, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] and [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]] have each designed at least one killbot.<br />

'''Robots''' were first built by Humans to improve their lives. It has gotten to the point now that robots outnumber Humans&mdash;or at least, voting humans&mdash;by one. Humanoid robots, over the years while [[Professor Hubert Farnsworth]] was working at Mom's robot company, evolved to the sometimes sleek functioning machines in the year 3000. A revolution of robot development was made when fuel efficiency was sacrificed when a new, sportier robot was demanded by [[Mom]]. These new "[[Sport-Utility Robot|sports utility]]" (classified this to get them past emission standards) robots came out resulting in increased pollution on [[Earth]]. In 3003 a new robot model came out [[Robot 1-X]] which unlike past robots, didn't malfuction, wasn't polluting and was kind and not rude.<br />
<br />
==Robots in Society==<br />
Robots can acquire wealth, marry, obtain jobs, consume resources, own property and live in robot societies. Each different facet of society in the year 3000 has some form of robot related - to human benefit or not.<br />
<br />
Robots in ''Futurama'' seem to exist in conflict with the idea of form and function - to which present day industrial design strives. In the year circa 3000 robots consume high volumes of resources (Calculon's luxury Bel-air home) and inhabit land (Robot Arms Apartments). In society they can be found in all levels of society - in the gutter "jacking on" (getting stoned on electricity) and at the top ([[Hedonism bot]] appears to be very wealthy, commissioning artistic endeavours on a whim). There is however little social mobility as a robot's function is predetermined by its type.<br />
<br />
There appear to be two main types, or castes, of robot:<br />
===Laborer Robots===<br />
Likely built by Humans, these robots are bound to their programming. They can be easily identified by the fact that their name often reflects their job. They are not all "laborers", per se, but they were built for a specific job, which they perform without question.<br />
<br />
===Civilian Robots===<br />
Possibly built by robots (evidenced by [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]'s statement, "We can always build more [[killbots]]" ([[Love's Labours Lost in Space|1ACV04]])), these are free to do as they please, and in fact, many are homeless. They still seem to pay homage to [[Mom]] on [[Mother's Day (holiday)|Mother's Day]], though. Their names tend to have little to do with their occupations.<br />

==The Story==<br />
===Act I: Sabotage!===<br />
After a dramatic liftoff systems check, the [[Planet Express Ship]] crashes less than three seconds after takeoff. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] files a lengthy report on the cause of the accident; sabotage is to blame for the accident. The [[L-Unit]] from the ship had been bent straight. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] demonstrates what it ''should'' look like. The crew realizes that several other objects around the [[Planet Express|building]] have been mysteriously bent (or in the case of [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s slinky, ''un''bent), including the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]]. Bender "fixes" him by bending him in the reverse direction. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] realizes that Bender is a likely culprit for all the bent objects, and he denies it. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] reveals that he's got a huge archive of surveillance tapes. On one, it is revealed that Bender has been sleep-bending.<br />
<br />
===Act II: I've been bending since the day I was built!===<br />
Bender is shocked, but not surprised. After all, he was ''built'' to bend. He reveals that he was "born" four years ago, in the bad part of [[Tijuana]]. Leela infers that Bender hasn't been satisfying his need to bend, and the Professor demands he leave until he satisfies that need.<br />
<br />
Robots are on strike outside [[Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant]]. The mob supports the union and the strike. Bender arrives and realizes that the strike may mean he won't be able to get a job. However, after learning that the company is hiring scabs at ten times the normal wage, he storms in and gets a job. Inside, he finds his "evil" twin [[Flexo]] working there, as well as [[Angleyne]], a female bending unit.<br />
<br />
===Act III: Lousy scabs!===<br />
Outside, the workers continue to picket, while Bender and Flexo bend girders, and Angleyne bends wire hangers inside. Bender makes a pass at Angleyne.<br />
<br />
The PE crew are trying to fix the items that Bender ruined. Zoidberg tests his "fixed" slinky, which bursts into flames. Fry and the Professor are taking a walk, and the Professor is obnoxiously upbeat. Fry asks him why he's so cheerful, and the Professor postulates that it may be blood pooling in the back of his brain.<br />
<br />
Bender goes into work and flirts with Angleyne. She says she's as strong as Bender, and he tells her to prove it, tossing her a girder. She struggles with it and is unable to bend it. Bender stands behind her and helps her bend it into the shape of a heart, and they kiss.<br />
<br />
Bender takes Angleyne to the fair and "wins" her a giant stuffed animal, and a wallet for himself. He also takes her out on a rowboat, letting his arms do the rowing. During a race with Fry and the Professor, Bender puts a stick in the Professor's spokes and wins the race.<br />
<br />
Later, at the conference table, the Professor tells how his new, bent posture is helping his personal life. Bender arrives with ''Bender''-related news: He's in love with Angleyne, and takes his friends to [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]] to celebrate. Bender tells the crew about Angleyne, but Fry spots her across the room having dinner with Flexo. In rage, Bender grabs a piece of bread and attempts to bend it. After a warning from [[Elzar]] that it's a week old, the bread snaps. Then Bender's arms fall off.<br />
<br />
===Act IV: It's time to kick some shiny metal ass!===<br />
Bender confronts Angleyne and Flexo, but Angleyne explains that Flexo and Angleyne are divorced, and having dinner because they want to remain friends.<br />
<br />
Bender paces the lounge in the Planet Express building, worrying about the situation. Leela suggests he talk about his feelings with her, but Fry implies that might not be the manliest plan.<br />
<br />
Bender then concocts a convoluted plan to catch Angleyne cheating on him with... him (wearing a fake beard that looks like Flexo's). He calls her to set up the meeting, and then goes to [[The Hip Joint]]. He orders them drinks, and pays with the money he earned scabbing. However, the [[Robot Mafia]] sees this and is almost infuriated. Bender insults himself in order to pull off the con, but it doesn't work immediately. He takes her out on the dancefloor, and pays the DJ to play his request. The Robot Mafia sees this and is one step closer to attacking him. While dancing, Bender's fake beard comes off, and although he is almost caught, he dips Angleyne to distract her. The robots in the club start dancing so furiously that their parts begin to fall off.<br />
<br />
===Act V: Kill Flexo!===<br />
After the place is cleared out, Bender continues his scam, and Angleyne starts falling for "Flexo" again. He escorts her out, and tips the valet. The Robot Mafia is now fed up, and plans to kill Flexo. Bender asks to go back to Angleyne's place, and after some reluctance, kisses "Flexo". During the kiss, the beard comes off again, sticking to Angleyne's face. She realizes the trick, and Bender explains his scam. She defends herself, but Bender is too dense to understand. Bender vows to kill Flexo.<br />
<br />
Back at the Bending Plant, Bender assaults Flexo. The fight goes back and forth (after all, they are ''identical'' bending units), but the Robot Mafia is there planning to make their kill. Angleyne makes a last desperate plea for them to stop the fight, but Bender persists. The Robot Mafia then drops an [[Unbendable Girder|unbendable girder]] on Flexo, who is crushed. Angleyne reveals her renewed love for Flexo, and in order to make Angleyne happy, Bender tries to free Flexo from under the girder. With incredible exertion, Bender bends the girder off of Flexo. Then Flexo and Angleyne have "sex right there on the factory floor".<br />
<br />
Bender returns to Planet Express, and is relieved to never have to bend again. However, the crew is sick of the Professor's attitude, and they ask Bender to fix the Professor. He bends the Professor, but instead of making him upright, he bends him even further out of alignment, making the Professor depressed.<br />

===Trivia===<br />
*Bender sleep-bends the ship's L-unit, Hermes' straight edge, Amy's javelin, Zoidberg's slinky, the support girder, a palm tree, The Professor and a security camera.<br />
*Of the heads in the box when [[Bender]] talks about the day he was built, there are the heads of Flexo's and the head of one of the moon robots that Bender went to high school with.<br />
*Allegedly, Jan Hooks smoked more than usual so she'd be hoarse enough for the role.<br />
*This episode introduces the word "[[Coinage#I|intragnizent]]".<br />
*Angleyne's introduction behind frosted glass is reminiscent of 1940's movies where female love interests were filmed with Vaseline on the camera lens to make them appear softer and more feminine.<br />
*When Bender stands behind Angleyne and helps her bend the girder, it is a reference to the movie "Ghost".<br />
*Elzar's special is Blackened Leftovers.<br />
*When the commercial break is over [[Elzar]]'s special is Blackened Blackened Leftovers.<br />
*It also introduces the phrase "[[Coinage#Clamp Clamp Ka-Bamp!|Clamp clamp ka-bamp!]]"<br />
*This is the second time that Flexo has been mistaken for Bender at the end of an episode.<br />
*John DiMaggio won an "Ani" award for this episode.<br />
*Apparently a fuzzy navel is the girliest drink served at the Hip Joint<br />
*Fry is pruning a bonzai tree which resembles the Planet Express Ship<br />
<br />
===Quotes===<br />
*'''Fry''': Wait! There on the screen! It's that guy you are!<br />
*'''Bender''': This is quite a shock! On the other hand, it's not surprising in the least.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*In the surveillance tape, it is shown that [[owls]] live in holes in the wall, simlilar to mice. Owls in the future have replaced mice and rats as pests.<br />
*Flexo was introduced in [[The Lesser of Two Evils]]. At the end, he was taken to prison for Bender's crime. So this is the second time he's gotten into trouble based on mistaken identity.<br />

==The Story==<br />
<br />
===Act I: Fame is mine===<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] is outraged when he robs a swimming pool, an act which should land him on the nightly TV news, but no one realizes it was him, with witnesses mistakenly calling the criminal human. He then makes a variety of attempts to become famous, only to be ignored or ridiculed by witnesses.<br />
<br />
===Act II: This is the worst funeral ever===<br />
He heads to work, depressed, where the rest of the [[Planet Express]] crew try to cheer him up by throwing him a funeral to show how he'll be remembered. He is highly disappointed by the group's efforts and becomes angered by their idiocy. This is especially true with Dr. Zoidberg, who sings ''Danny Boy'', only to be hit in the head with Bender's martini glass. After the disappointing funeral, Bender storms off, outraged that no one will remember him when he dies. The next day,the crew has to deliver a giant sandstone block to the planet [[Osiris 4]]. After the block is signed for, they are taken as slaves of the Pharaoh Hermenthotip.<br />
<br />
===Act III: Quit giving the slave drivers pointers===<br />
On the boat to the work site, Bender admires the Pharaohs' tombs and realizes that everyone would remember him if he could have a funeral like them. He begins to give the slave drivers pointers on how to make slaves work harder and faster to get the job done sooner. Hermenthotip comes and is about to free the slaves but is crushed by his statue's nose and killed. Bender is upset by the death, but changes the wall of prophecy to make it look like he is supposed to be the Pharaoh's successor. After a short ceremony to determine the new Pharaoh, Bender is chosen, despite his crude drawing on the wall of prophecy.<br />
<br />
===Act IV: crawl pigs===<br />
Bender becomes a crueler pharaoh than Hermenthotip, and makes the slaves work hard to build a much larger statue (1 Billion cubits tall) of him so he will be remembered for all eternity. Bender is unhappy with the statue because it is so big, people will probably remember the statue instead of him. He demands to have it torn down so that the slaves can start over and build a smaller statue. The slave drivers have had enough of Bender's orders and attack him, tying him up like a mummy and throwing him in his tomb, announcing that he suddenly died. He requests his loyal servants to be entombed with him, and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] are thrown in as well.<br />
<br />
===Act V: lets blow this tomb===<br />
Bender’s tomb turns out to have an working casino in it, along with an eternity's worth of liquor. Fry and Leela try some pomegranate schnapps and determine it is 100% alcohol. Leela wants to use the explosive alcohol to blow the tomb open and escape, but Bender refuses to allow her. Leela and Fry pretend to forget who Bender is, and he then reluctantly agrees. Moving all the liquor to one wall, Leela uses Bender's wrappings as a makeshift fuse and blow the tomb open. The explosion causes the rest of the statue to fall apart, saddening Bender. Leela tells him that he will still be remembered as a tyrannical ruler, even though there is no monument left. As they return home, Bender mentions that he will try to take over Earth next.<br />

The '''Australian Man''' is a simple man from [[Earth]] who seems to always have to do forced labour. First he was tricked into working on [[Spa 5]] with [[Hermes Conrad|Conrad]] by [[Dr. Zoidberg]]. Hermes managed to free everyone by making Australian Man do all the work. Just when he thought his freedom was secured he managed to be enslaved on [[Osiris 4]] building tombs and pyramids for the Pharoah. He probably escaped from Osiris 4 since he was shown later on Earth assimilated by [[Yivo]].<br />

Hermes Conrad is [[Planet Express]]' resident Bureaucrat.<br />
==Biography==<br />
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 claims, however, that he is only anal 78.36% of the time. He is also an honorary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]].<br />
<br />
While he was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, he moved to [[New New York]] with his wife [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]]. They now have a teenage son, [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]]. <br />
<br />
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 ([[Bend Her|4ACV13]]). He came in dead last due to a freak accident with his special limboing suit.<br />
In the year 3007, he was decapitated when a decorative sword fell and sliced off his head after a limbo contest at Planet Express. Although he survived as a [[Head jars|head in a jar]], LaBarbara immediately left him and went back to Barbados Slim. At Lars' and Leela's wedding, he won LarBarbara back when he gets a new body (his own, stolen from the past by Bender). Later, he gets jabbed in the eye with a pen and his head is chopped off once again when a Chandelier crystal falls, due to his new body being a [[time paradox duplicate|temporal duplicate]]. His head provides useful in the [[Battle for Earth, 3007|war to reclaim the earth]] where, using his mighty bureaucratic mind to coordinate the human fleet, he defeats the gold Death Stars and wins LarBabara back. He gets his body back and witnesses space ripping open in the year 3008. In the same year, he attends Kif and Amy's wedding and participates in "Death Ball" to win the right to explore the Anomaly. He is the 3rd Planet Express crewman to have one of Yivo's tentacles in his neck and joins everyone else in the universe in leaving Earth to live on Yivo. He was last seen listening to Bender's story of Love.<br />
Hermes returns later in [[Bender's Game]] as his normal self, and as a [[Hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic centaur]] in [[Cornwood]], a universe created from Bender's imagination.<br />
<br />
===Family===<br />
*[[LaBarbara Conrad]], his wife<br />
*[[Dwight Conrad]], his son<br />
*Granny (deceased), a zombie.<br />
*Mamma (deceased), fat and ugly<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
*Apperently Hermes has head lice.<br />
*Age is revealed in [[Bender Breaks Out|"Bender Breaks Out" (US#020)]].<br />
*Someone looking like a female version of Hermes appears as a centaur in the preview for {{flink|Bender's Game}}, but she has blonde hair.<br />
<br />
===Catchphrases and Running Gags===<br />
Hermes' basic catchphrase is "Sweet [something] of [someplace]!" (the 'something' and the 'someplace' usually rhyme)<br /><br />
Variations include the following:<br />
*Sweet llamas of the Bahamas!<br />
*Sweet lion of Zion!<br />
*Sweet three-toed sloth of Ice Planet Hoth!<br />
*Sweet bongo of the Congo!<br />
*Sweet Yeti of the Serengeti! She's gone crazy-eddy in the headdy!<br />
*Sweet guinea pig of Winnipeg!<br />
*Sweet gorilla of Manilla!<br />
*Sweet manatee of Gallilee!<br />
*Sweet giant anteater of Santa Anita!<br />
*Sweet squid of Madrid!<br />
*Great cow of Moscow!<br />
*S-s-s-s-s-sweet something of......someplace.<br />
<br />
A recurring joke involves Hermes about to eat a [[Wikipedia:Manwich|manwich]], until it is stolen by Bender or Zoidberg, at which point Hermes cries "My Manwich!" <br />
<br />
Hermes usually refers to [[LaBarbara Conrad]] as "wife", supporting his bureaucratic nature by referring to her by title.<br />
<br />
Hermes sometimes mentions green snakes and sugarcanes including:<br />
*Our electricity bill is climbing faster than a green snake up a sugarcane!<br />
*I'm hungrier than a green snake in a sugarcane field.<br />
*That's flatter than a green snake under a sugarcane truck.<br />
<br />
Another [[Wiktionary:Running gag|running gag]] is that he shows hatred to Zoidberg for no real reason at bizarre times. For example, after witnessing a temporarily blind Leela destroying 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!".<br />

Hermes Conrad is [[Planet Express]]' resident Bureaucrat.<br />
==Biography==<br />
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 claims, however, that he is only anal 78.36% of the time. He is also an honorary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]].<br />
<br />
While he was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica, he moved to [[New New York]] with his wife [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]]. They now have a teenage son, [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]]. <br />
<br />
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 ([[Bend Her|4ACV13]]). He came in dead last due to a freak accident with his special limboing suit.<br />
In the year 3007, he was decapitated when a decorative sword fell and sliced off his head after a limbo contest at Planet Express. Although he survived as a [[Head jars|head in a jar]], LaBarbara immediately left him and went back to Barbados Slim. At Lars' and Leela's wedding, he won LarBarbara back when he gets a new body (his own, stolen from the past by Bender). Later, he gets jabbed in the eye with a pen and his head is chopped off once again when a Chandelier crystal falls, due to his new body being a [[time paradox duplicate|temporal duplicate]]. His head provides useful in the [[Battle for Earth, 3007|war to reclaim the earth]] where, using his mighty bureaucratic mind to coordinate the human fleet, he defeats the gold Death Stars and wins LarBabara back. He gets his body back and witnesses space ripping open in the year 3008. In the same year, he attends Kif and Amy's wedding and participates in "Death Ball" to win the right to explore the Anomaly. He is the 3rd Planet Express crewman to have one of Yivo's tentacles in his neck and joins everyone else in the universe in leaving Earth to live on Yivo. He was last seen listening to Bender's story of Love.<br />
Hermes returns later in [[Bender's Game]] as his normal self, and as a [[Hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic centaur]] in [[Cornwood]], a universe created from Bender's imagination.<br />

===Catchphrases and Running Gags===<br />
Hermes' basic catchphrase is "Sweet [something] of [someplace]!" (the 'something' and the 'someplace' usually rhyme)<br /><br />
Variations include the following:<br />
*Sweet llamas of the Bahamas!<br />
*Sweet lion of Zion!<br />
*Sweet three-toed sloth of Ice Planet Hoth!<br />
*Sweet bongo of the Congo!<br />
*Sweet Yeti of the Serengeti! She's gone crazy-eddy in the headdy!<br />

*Sweet gorilla of Manilla!<br />
*Sweet manatee of Gallilee!<br />
*Sweet giant anteater of Santa Anita!<br />
*Sweet squid of Madrid!<br />
*Great cow of Moscow!<br />
*S-s-s-s-s-sweet something of......someplace.<br />
<br />
A recurring joke involves Hermes about to eat a [[Wikipedia:Manwich|manwich]], until it is stolen by Bender or Zoidberg, at which point Hermes cries "My Manwich!" </br><br />
<br />
Hermes usually refers to [[LaBarbara Conrad]] as "wife", supporting his bureaucratic nature by referring to her by title.<br />
<br />
Hermes sometimes mentions green snakes and sugarcanes including:<br />
*Our electricity bill is climbing faster than a green snake up a sugarcane!<br />
*I'm hungrier than a green snake in a sugarcane field.<br />
*That's flatter than a green snake under a sugarcane truck.<br />
<br />
Another [[Wiktionary:Running gag|running gag]] is that he shows hatred to Zoidberg for no real reason at bizarre times. For example, after witnessing a temporarily blind Leela destroying the ceiling of Planet Express, Hermes turned to Zoidberg and said "That's coming out of ''your'' pay!", which brought Zoidberg to tears.

A '''time paradox duplicate''' is the result of a person using the time code to go back in time thus creating two of the person in the same time period, though this doesn't always create a duplicate provided the interaction between them doesn't cause the past self to stick around. However the time code self corrects paradoxes with The Doom Field, dooming all duplicates.<br />
<br />
== Known Duplicates ==<br />
''All of these have met their doom.''<br />
* [[Lars Fillmore]] ([[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]) - created when original goes back in time for free pizza. He was killed after throwing himself onto Bender's duplicate, which explodes.<br />
* [[Nudar]] - created when Nudar travels back in time to the day before as a test of the time code. He was killed after getting crushed by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]]'s [[Smell-O-Scope]].<br />
* [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]' body - created when Bender goes back in time and gets Hermes' decapitated body. It was lost after getting crushed by a crystal chandellier.<br />
* [[Bender]] - The first one to die was created when he travels back in time to use the toilet. He was killed after his Auto Destruct Sequence was triggered by a conflict in his programming. <br />
* Hundreds of other [[Bender]]s - created via him going back in time over and over to steal stuff for Nudar, and when he went back in time to tattoo Fry. They all exploded when "Bender from way at the end" asked them to stick around. This also caused a fractal edge rip in the universe, which is a gateway to [[Yivo]]'s universe.<br />

'''Slurm''', the number-one soft drink of the future, is refreshingly addictive. It is produced in a factory on the planet [[Wormulon]] by a race known only as the [[Slurm Worms]]. Their corporate mascot is [[Slurms MacKenzie]], "The Original Party Worm." <br />
<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is a huge Slurm <del>addict</del> <ins>fan</ins>, and rarely goes more than 12 minutes without one. <br />
<br />
===Types of Slurm===<br />
*'''Slurm Medicinal Tonic:''' Slurm in the [[:Image:2851.jpg|2850s]] was sold as a medicine (much like Coca-cola and Pepsi in the late 1800s).<br />
*'''Regular Slurm:''' The soft drink which is the most common type of Slurm <br />
*'''Slurmee:''' A frozen version of Slurm similar to the Icee, Slushee and Slurpee ice drinks on [[Earth]], as well as the Squishee in [[wikipedia:The Simpsons|The Simpsons]].<br />
*'''Slurm river:''' Liquid used for the river on the Slurm tour that looks like Slurm but doesn't taste like Slurm<br />
*'''Royal Slurm:''' A purple liquid which turns people into a Slurm Queen<br />
*'''Super Slurm:''' So delicious that people cannot resist it and will drink it until they explode<br />
*'''New Slurm:''' A hypothetical beverage that would've been produced by Leela, had she been successfully transformed into a Slurm Queen by the royal jelly. Because she wasn't true worm royalty, her Slurm would have tasted awful, allowing the company to make millions by re-releasing the old flavour as 'Slurm Classic'. This concept mocks [[Wikipedia:New Coke|New Coke]] and the alleged conspiracy that some people believe was behind its creation.<br />
<br />

[[Image:Slurmee.jpg|right|thumb|Slurmee]] <br />
===Creation===<br />
[[Image:Slurm 1.jpg|thumb|left|"No purchase necessary unless you wish to enter the contest."]]<br />
Throughout the tour, [[Glurmo]] is very evasive about the nature of the secret ingredient. After exploring the factory's off-limits areas, the crew discovers that the drink is actually produced by a giant Slurm Worm, known as the [[Slurm Queen]]. She secretes the Slurm through an orifice in the end of her tail, much the way bees secrete honey. In fact, this is so similar that Slurm Queens produce "Royal Slurm" much as queen bees can produce royal jelly, which, if eaten, changes a larval bee into a queen. This disgusting revelation leads [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] to attempt to get the Slurm banned, but Fry is so addicted, that he foils this attempt, and continues drinking Slurm whenever possible.<br />

}}<br />
'''Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez''' (Model: '''Bending Unit 22''') is a bending unit, who works at [[Planet Express]] as Assistant Manager of Sales, formerly chef of the company. He is one of the primary characters and is known for his "in-your-face interface".<br />
<!--SEE THE DISCUSSION PAGE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING SECTION:<br />
<br />
He weighs 525 pounds (238kg) and his central processing unit is a [[wikipedia:MOS Technology 6502|MOS Technologies 6502 processor]]. His arms and legs can be separated from the body and may act independently from it, and his head is able to survive without his body.<br />
<br />
His internal fuel cells are recharged by drinking alcohol or any other liquid capable of delivering chemical energy, such as mineral oil or [[Dark Matter|dark matter oil]]. If he does not drink alcohol for a while, he suffers symptoms of intoxication, develops five-o'-clock rust around his mouth and leaks oil from his armpits. He carries a nuclear pile that seems to be composed of fissionable material, enabling the construction of miniature nuclear weapons.<br />
<br />
Bender has a highly addictive personality, and his favorite pastimes are watching [[All My Circuits]], stealing things, drinking, and smoking. He lives in the [[New New York#Robot Arms Apartments|Robot Arms Apartments]] with his roommate [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. In spite of his general selfishness and family-sized ego, he has occasionally demonstrated a capacity for generosity, even self-sacrifice, where his good friends are involved.<br />
<br />
One of Bender's life-long dreams is to be a folk singer&mdash;a dream he briefly lived when he toured with [[Beck]] ([[Bendin' in the Wind|3ACV13]]). Normally his inhibition unit keeps his musical urges under control, but it tends to shut down in the presence of strong magnetic fields (especially in close proximity to his head). Ultimately things turned out tragically; fortunately for Bender, he's a robot with many life-long dreams. Another is being a great chef, like his idol [[Elzar]]. He achieved this dream as well when he defeated Elzar on the show ''[[Iron Cook]]'' ([[The 30% Iron Chef|3ACV22]]).--><br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
[[Image:Montholdbender.png|thumb|left|Bender when he was only a month old]]<br />
===Early years===<br />
Bender Bending Rodríguez was built in Tijuana, Mexico in [[Timeline|2998]] by [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]]. There is some speculation about what happened in the following two years, except few things are certain, he briefly studied Bending at Bending State University, though he also graduated from the facility he was built in.<br />
<br />
He soon got a job bending girders, but after realizing that the purpose of the girders he bent were for [[suicide booth]]s, he figured that his purpose was meaningless and thus decided to kill himself in one of the suicide booths he had helped construct.<br />
<br />
===You really want a robot for a friend?===<br />
{{further|Season 1}}<br />
While waiting in line to kill himself on December 31st, 2999, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who was clearly not familiar with suicide booths, stood in front of him, thinking it was a phone booth. Bender helped him along. But they managed to get out of the suicide booth alive. Bender soon learns that Fry is from the 20th Century and had been frozen for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
But since Fry refused to get [[Career chip|assigned]] to his job, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] was on his tail. Bender helped them escape through the [[Head Museum]] and soon down to [[Old New York]] below [[New New York]]. Here Leela finally caught up with them. Bender decided to stay with them and they headed over to Fry's nephew, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. Farnsworth soon accepted their offer, and luckily for them, he had the proper career chips.<br />
<br />
===Farnworth's asset===<br />
As an employee at Planet Express he continued his kleptomania, drinking and smoking. He convinced Fry to move in with him and soon [[Hermes Conrad]] forced him to actually do something around the company. He got assigned as chef of the company, one of his dreams was apparently to cook, but having no sense of taste made vile meals for the staff.<br />
<br />
Bender got into trouble when he began abusing electricity (jacking on), and his friends were not in favor of it. Saddened by their discontent, he sought new opportunities in [[religion]]. He joined Robotology, but this just made him a lot more annoying to his friends. So they decided to make him sin to become his regular self again, and during a visit to [[Robot Hell]] and the [[Robot Devil]], Fry and Leela managed to save him.<br />
<br />
Bender himself never found true love, and one of the few close fembots he knew got sucked into a black hole after [[Zapp Brannigan]] had crashed the [[Titanic]] into it. But his personality continued to be a problem for his friends, and Leela became very upset with him when he flushed [[Nibbler]] down the toilet. The Professor "carefully" implanted an empathy chip in Bender, which forced him to feel Leela's every emotion for a short while.<br />

===The less of two evils===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
During a visit to [[Past-O-Rama]] they bumped into [[Flexo]], another Bending Unit, possibly also of the same model number (22). Flexo and Bender became good friends, but Fry feared that Flexo is evil, and in a mix up at the Miss Universe contest Flexo was arrested for Bender's attempt to steal the tiara.<br />
<br />
Bender briefly joined the [[Robot Mafia]] and fought in the [[Ultimate Robot Fighting]] League until his popularity slipped and he was rigged out of the league. Together with his fellow robots he rebelled against [[Humans|humanity]].<br />
<br />
===Well - I'm rich===<br />
Bender's Uncle [[Vladimir]] died and Bender was to inherit his castle. He asked the crew to stay there for one night and they agreed to it. Bender was not at all comfortable in his new castle and the start up sound of Windows 98 was not helping either.<br />
<br />
While being chased by several hologram ghosts, he fled out in the yard where he was run over by a [[Were-Car|were-car]]. The collision caused a virus to be beamed into him and he became a were-car. Bender did not realize this until later, but the [[Gypsy]] told them the only way to get rid of the virus would be destroy the original were-car. So through a long journey they found the original were-car and destroyed it, and thus Bender was free of the virus.<br />
<br />
Whether he kept the castle or not is unknown.<br />
<br />
===When I'm found in a thousand years, they will know what the score was===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<br />
Bender continued his life with many adventures together with Fry and Leela. He temporarily worked for [[Calculon]] as his water heater. He met up with Flexo again, but this time he was not happy to see him, because Bender figured that his second true love was still in love with Flexo. Bender screwed it up and the divorcees got back together.<br />
<br />
He was briefly sent to an institute for insane robots, got to tour around with [[Beck]] and fulfil his dream of becoming a folk-singer, became Pharaoh of an entire planet and beat [[Elzar]] on the [[television]] show [[Iron Cook]].<br />
<br />
But during a battle with [[Space Pirates]] Bender got shot out through the torpedo slot and was forced to drift through space. He for some time became the God of the [[Shrimpkins]] which was a life form that had grown on his stomach. But after they all died out, Bender met up with the [[Galactic Entity]] who he believes ''is'' God. And the Entity sent Bender back to [[Earth]].<br />
<br />
===[I] should not be allowed on TV!===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
Bender was still wanting his fame, he found interest in becoming [[Bender (All My Circuits)|the new]] [[Antonio Calculon, Jr.|Antonio]] on [[All My Circuits]]. He got the job. But Calculon was hardly impressed by Bender's performance, however the Network executives disagreed. So Bender got to continue on the show, but in his true nature.<br />
<br />
But when Bender realized that his behaviour on TV causes [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] and [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] to steal his stuff, he called off the show.<br />
<br />
Bender joined Fry and Leela briefly as they gained super powers in [[the New Justice Team]], he has had an affair with the [[Planet Express Ship]], he got modeled into a fembot and had a relationship shortly with Calculon and helped [[Robot Santa]] as a replacement.<br />
<br />
===Dumb dumb away!===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
But the company got into trouble when the [[Box Network]] canceled its license, and for two years they were not able to deliver packages. Luckily though, their license was renewed and they went back in business.<br />
<br />
Bender became the centre of attention as the new masters of the company lead by [[Nudar]] infected him with an [[iObey]] virus and they forced him to go back in time and steal all of Earth's valuables. But when Fry managed to escape back into the past, they send him after Fry to kill him, and after 12 years tireless hunting, he managed to do so.<br />
<br />
But he soon learnt that the Fry he killed was doomed anyway because he was a [[time paradox duplicate]]. But after being stranded on [[Neptune]] for a while, humanity and he decided to fight back, and after with the help of Hermes the war was won, he revealed that he himself had kept [[the Spheroboom]] that the scammers had told him to keep safe, thus saving the day. <br />
<br />
However, while on a trip back in time to make sense out of everything that had happened that year, a mishap led to him accidentally tearing the universe open.<br />
<br />
===Death to humans...===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After becoming an official stalker for [[Calculon]] by Calculon, Bender fell into a deep depression after Calculon informed him that there was no such thing as the [[League of Robots]], a society of robots which came to the aid of robots abused by humans, and which Bender had worshipped for his entire life. He contemplated commiting suicide until he was approached by the League led by Calculon himself; he lied about its non-existence to ensure its secrecy.<br />
<br />
Bender became the newest member of the League and began to personally enforce the no-humans policy of the organization, becoming very famous within it. However, Bender was caught helping his human friends and his bluffs were called by Calculon, whom Bender challenged to a duel. Bender broke the rules of the duel, severely injuring Calculon and nearly exposing the League, but instead of being kicked out of the League, Calculon resigned his position as President and gave it to Bender.<br />
<br />
Bender organized the [[Army of the Damned]] (trading [[Bender's First Born Son|his firstborn son]] to the [[Robot Devil]] for it) to take over the world, only to discover that its entire population was already leaving to live on the body of a giant tentacled monster named [[Yivo]]. Bender soon received a letter from Fry describing how wonderful life was there, but Bender ended up interfering by [[The Robot Invasion of Heaven|attacking Yivo]] and attempting to bring humanity back. Soon, for personal reasons, Yivo unwittingly complied with Bender and had everybody return to Earth.<br />
<br />
===I know not of this Bender===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Bender finds himself attempting to catch up with a game of Dungeons and Dragons, played by [[Cubert Farnsworth]] and his friends. He soon hits the obstacle of realising he has no imagination. But the more he tries, he eventually believes he is [[Titanius Anglesmith]], Fancy Man of [[Cornwood]].<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his imagination grows wild, and he is sent to [[HAL Institute]] to be cured. The therapy is unsuccessful and they decide to put him down. But while he is about to be put down, the [[dark matter]] crystals becomes close enough, allowing Bender's imaginary to become real.<br />
<br />
In his fantasy, he is the owner of a castle. When he hears of [[Waltazar, Larius and Ignus|Black Knights]] approaching, he sets out with his friends, [[Leegola]] and [[Frydo]]. Discovering the [[Die of Power]], he sets off to [[The Great Wizard Greyfarn|Greyfarn]], where they learn of the story behind the Die. Titanius is slightly against the quest, but decides to tackle along. On several occasions, he refers to going back, such as when they have just passed through the [[Cave of Hopelessness]].<br />
<br />
On the other side, [[the Fellowship]] decides to seek [[Wipe Castle]] for help. Unfortunately, [[Roberto|the king]] is a loon, and the entire royal army is gone. As [[Momon]]'s forces arrive, they have a large, unwinnable, battle, at hand. But as things seems darkest, [[Leegola]] and her centaur army saves Wipe Castle. Knowing of Frydo's quest, the Fellowship decides to go help him. But they are too late, and Momon wins the battle, causing the imagination finally to stop.<br />
<br />
==Family==<br />
[[Image:Bender's Xmas 2.jpg|right|thumb|Bender's Mommy]]<br />

*[[Flexo]], another Bending unit of the same model.<br />
*[[Mom]], owner of Mom's Friendly Robot Co.<br />
*His mother, a robotic arm who sends him [[Xmas]] cards.<br />
*His father, who was killed by a giant can opener ([[I Second that Emotion|2ACV01]]).<br />
*[[Vladimir|Uncle Vladimir]], who lived in Thermostadt, capital of the Robo-Hungarian Empire, and died at the ripe old age of 211.<br />
*Tandy, Uncle Vladimir's son and hence Bender's cousin.<br />
*Screwy Aunt Rita, who ''is'' a screw. (Note that Bender stated that he had an Aunt Rita during Leela's coma fantasy in the episode [[The Sting]], so this may not be true.)<br />
*Albert, Bethany, Sally, Nina & 8 other orphans, briefly adopted from the [[Cookieville_Minimum-Security_Orphanarium|Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]]<br />

<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Age===<br />
Bender was originally constructed in 2998, making him 1-2 years old when Fry met him in 2999. The events in "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" make his head 1055 years older than the rest of his body. The incident in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" does largely not count as an ageing or the opposite, and fans largely regard his age to remain intact. In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Bender travels back in time several times, though the amount of times is unknown, the amount of Benders that appear at the end, may suggest at least a couple of thousand times. Given how many of these travels seems to be between 1000 to 5000 years in the past (from about 3007), an educated guess would make him at least a million years old, but probably more.<br />
<br />
In the comic, "[[Rust in Peace]]", it is revealed that Bender, due to too much time travelling, must be inserted into a renewed unit. Farnsworth determines his age to be 27 203 before moving him to his new body. But 27 203 seems a lot less than what would be a quick educated guess. 27 203 would require Bender to have gone at least about a thousand years back each time and only gone 27 times, or instead gone more years back and done fewer than 27 times. But regardless of the ordeal, the amount of Benders appearing at the end of ''Bender's Big Score'' seems to contradict this fact. The event in the comic is thus not necessarily considered [[canon]].<br />
<br />
But a more important obstacle than mathematics to the comic, is the last Direct-to-DVD film, ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', on the [[Commentary:Bender's Big Score|commentary]] of ''Bender's Big Score'', the crew discusses the nature of the rapidly ageing Bender to become of a plot significance. Which would make the comic a direct contradiction of the film, and by definition, the episodes and films always prevails in canon.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Bender as seen in a "What If?" scenario, about to get attacked by giant [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]].]]<br />
<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Bender's apartment number is 00100100. This is a binary representation of the ASCII character '$' or 36 in decimal.<br />
*Bender's serial number is 2716057. This can be expressed as the sum of 2 cubes. Specifically, 952<sup>3</sup> + (-951)<sup>3</sup><br />
*Additionally, he seems to be the [[1729]]<sup>th</sup> unit produced by his "mommy".<br />
*The word "bender" can refer to a drinking spree, hinting at Bender's heavy alcohol use.<br />
*Bender is powered by a 6502 Microprocessor.<br />
*Bender dies at the end of both of his what-if scenarios in each Anthology of Interest.<br />
*His self-destruct code is 1A2B3.<br />
*Bender cannot be around magnets, or it will screw up his inhibition unit, thus causing him to sing folk songs.<br />
*Apparently stole the Prime Minister of Norway's arm.<br />
*His birthstone is [[Robobium]]<br />
*Is able to simultaneously reattach each of his severed arms with the other.<br />
*He cannot get up when he is knocked on his back. At least not until he learns how to from the majestic turtle.<br />
*His antenna interferes with satelite televisions, along with some cellphones.<br />
*He, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], appears in all episodes of the series.<br />
*No one can say he doesn't own John Laraquette's Spine<br />
*Bender has Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fear of the number 666.<br />
*May be one of the most evil robots in the series, as acknowledged by [[Robot Santa]] and the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
*Bender's favorite cause of death is being crushed to death by a big rig driven by The Incredible Hulk<br />
*In Firefox 3, if you type "about:robots" into the address bar, a page with several cultural references to robots is displayed. The fourth bullet point says "Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten."<br />
<br />
===Voice===<br />
Of all the voices on the show, Bender's voice was the most difficult to cast. This is because none of the creators and crew were sure what a robot should sound like yet. So they had every voice actor who auditioned also audition for the role of Bender. Even [[David X. Cohen]] was suggested for the role.<br />
<br />
[[John DiMaggio]] originally auditioned with Bender's voice for Professor Farnsworth. Among the bases for the voice were the character of Taggart from [[Wikipedia:Blazing Saddles|Blazing Saddles]] and DiMaggio's original character "Charlie the Sausage Lover". In the [[Commentary:Spanish Fry|audio commentary of Spanish Fry]], David X. Cohen joked about it also being "90 parts John DiMaggio."<br />
<br />
===Catchphrase===<br />
Bender's basic catchphrase is "Bite my shiny metal ass!"<br /><br />
Sound:[http://www.uploadfilego.com/download2.php?a=35c7a7fba70d5ed65463adc3da237934&b=a016616316958b868886064d10a8b4e7 BenderBitesAss.mp3]<br />
<br />
Variations on this include the following:<br />
*Bite my red-hot glowing ass! [[When Aliens Attack|(1ACV12)]]<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! [[Xmas Story|(2ACV04)]]<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! [[Anthology of Interest I|(2ACV16)]]<br />
*The modern world can bite my splintery wooden ass! [[Obsoletely Fabulous|(4ACV14)]]<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! [[The Farnsworth Parabox|(4ACV15)]]<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! ([[Bender's Game]])<br />
<br />
Another common catchphrase of his is whenever he says "me", he usually follows it by "Bender", thus producing the sentence "me, Bender." Thus making him the most said character name on the show.<br />
A third common catchphrase Bender says is "Well, we're boned.", said in situations where he, or a group of people including him, are in a large amount of trouble. A fourth catchphrase is "I'm back, baby!" whenever he makes an intriguing appearance on the scene; Bender had also said the phrase "We're back, baby!" on numerous occasions, particularly in reference to the series' revival. One phrase that Bender uses less commonly is "Cheese it!" whenever he encourages other characters to run away from trouble. Another slightly less common catchphrase is used whenever Bender describes amusement, he describes it as "fun on the bun!" Bender also tends to occasionally pull out a purple camera during certain moments, snap a picture, and say "Neat!"<br />
<br />
As stated in "[[War Is the H-Word]]", the top ten words that Bender uses more than any others is as follows:<br />
<br />
10 - Chump<br>9 - Chumpette<br>8 - Yours<br>7 - Up<br>6 - Pimpmobile<br>5 - Bite<br>4 - My<br>3 - Shiny<br>2 - Daffodil<br>1 - Ass<br />
<br />
It is by no means impossible that the second word in the list is not "metal" considering all the variations of his catchphrase. In reference to his use of the word "daffodil", he said the sentence "Hot-diggidy-daffodil" in this episode and again in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''. "Chumpette" is only uttered once though. "Pimpmobile" was also spoken by Bender in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]].<br />
<br />
===Composition===<br />
Bender routinely claims to be made of thirty to forty percent of various metals. Unfortunately, his credibility on this matter is thrown into question by the fact that they add up to well over one hundred percent:<br />
*40% Zinc ([[Fry and the Slurm Factory|1ACV13]])<br />
*40% Titanium ([[A Head in the Polls|2ACV02]])<br />
*30% Iron ([[The 30% Iron Chef|3ACV22]])<br />
*40% Dolemite ([[Jurassic Bark|4ACV07]])<br />
*An unknown quantity of osmium ([[A Pharaoh to Remember|3ACV17]])<br />
Total: (greater than) 150%.<br />
<br />
Additionally, he has a 0.04% nickel impurity, which doesn't ''increase'' total percentage, but slightly ''decreases'' the percentages of everything else. This is apparently not a standard impurity, and is cited as making him unique.<br />
<br />

==The Story==<br />
[[Image:Planet Express Exterior Xmas.jpg|left|thumb|Trespassers will be shot]]<br />
===Act I: I'll let you punch me for a buck.===<br />
After a stern warning from [[Walter Kronkite's Head|Walter Kronkite]], the crew works hard to secure [[Planet Express]] against [[Santa Claus|Santa]]. The [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] shows off his bulletproof shutters, and tells the crew they'll be safe as long as they don't leave the building. He then sends the crew to deliver a sack of letters directly to Santa on his Death Fortress on [[Neptune]].<br />
<br />
On the trip, the crew read a few of the letters. They all refer to the violence that Santa wrought [[Xmas Story|last year]]. Fry and Leela decide it's time to defeat Santa to bring back the joyous Xmas of Fry's time.<br />
<br />
Upon landing, they are approached by shrimpy [[Neptunians]], who are apparently desperate for food and money. The Neptunians also hold each other's hands constantly, for unknown reasons (unless you listen to the commentary). Bender mentions toys, and the Neptunians reveal that, since Santa judges everyone to be naughty, the toy factory is out of service. The crew asks for volunteers to help them infiltrate the fortress, and one Neptunian wants to help. The Neptunian holding his hands is also unwillingly volunteered.<br />
<br />
Santa is checking his video monitor, looking for naughty people. He judges the act of beating a shopkeeper for not paying his protection money to be equally naughty as the shopkeeper not paying his protection money. [[Scruffy]] is also judged naughty for scratching his nose. The Neptunians bring in the sack of mail.<br />
<br />
===Act II: No human could do all that!===<br />
Santa turns off his monitor with a warning to the Neptunians, who flee. The crew emerges from the mail sack, and Leela attacks santa with a logical paradox, which causes his head to explode.<br />
<br />
Santa's head, however, was built with paradox-absorbing crumple zones. The crew runs, and Santa pursues them with a large missile launcher. The crew runs into an elevator just as Santa fires, and the missile gets lodged in the doors. As the elevator moves, it shears off the warhead, and the crew is trapped inside the elevator with it.<br />
<br />
When the elevator reaches the ground floor, the crew runs, Leela carrying the warhead. When she realizes her mistake, she drops the warhead and continues running. The crew boards a sled, and with the help of the explosion from the warhead, they are propelled down the hill toward the ship. Leela tries to take off, but Santa has meanwhile grabbed onto the engines, halting their progress.<br />
<br />
The exhaust from the engines melts the ice, and Santa sinks into the water. As Leela shuts down the ship, the ice re-freezes and Santa is trapped.<br />
<br />
The Neptunians rejoice, as they can finally start making toys again. At first, Fry volunteers to deliver the toys, but the task would be impossible for a human. Bender reluctantly takes the job.<br />
<br />
===Act III: Bender can't be Santa!===<br />
Bender takes to the job easily enough, though, commanding the Neptunians to bow down to him. The Neptunians break into song and start up the factory again. They make many toys, whose quality is low due to time constraints. Bender is painted red to disguise himself as Santa.<br />
<br />
Using Santa's hoversleigh, Bender arrives on Earth only to be blocked from his first chimney by a set of bars. Luckily, Bender's a bender, and he easily bends them. He offers the family inside Tri&middot;Ominos, but they don't trust him and attack him.<br />
<br />
A damaged Bender tries the next house, and is waylayed by Petunia. She attacks him with a flamethrower, and he is eventually blasted back out the chimney.<br />
<br />
On the way to the next house, Bender meets up with [[Religion#Kwanzaa-Bot|Kwanzaa-Bot]]. Bender asks for help, but Kwanzaa-Bot no time, as he must give out the traditional Kwanzaa book: "What the hell is Kwanzaa?"<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, the crew prepares for Xmas. Fry tries the egg nog, but finds Zoidberg bathing in it. Leela reminds the Professor that Bender is Santa. He tells her she sounds like a broken Mp3, but less than two seconds later, when Bender drops through the fireplace, the Professor opens fire with his shotgun.<br />
<br />
A badly mangled Bender then dumps the toys into the sewer, which offends at least one mutant. While Bender is celebrating his genius with a drink, Smitty and Url corner him.<br />
<br />
Being mistaken for the real Santa Claus, Bender is brought before Judge Whitey to be tried for his "crimes". The [[Hyper-Chicken]] is the prosecuting attourney in this case, while Bender chooses to represent himself. Judge Whitey finds Bender guilty, and sentences him to execution at sundown. Bender is hauled away.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Zoidberg_Jesus.jpg|left|thumb|Santa's good friend, Jesus.]]<br />
===Act IV: Stop the Execution!===<br />
At Stattica Robot Penitentiary, Bender is brought into the execution room. Meanwhile, the PE crew returns to Neptune to take the real Santa to Earth to prove Bender's innocence. However, after cutting the block of ice out of the ground, it begins to melt. The newly-reopened factory has been pumping out greenhouse gasses which have heated the atmosphere. Santa attacks, and the PE crew is forced to escape the planet without Santa. However, unbeknownst to them, Santa has stowed away on the ship.<br />
<br />
At the penitentiary, Bender is strapped into the Magnexecutioner by [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]]. He begins a countdown which may or may not ever reach zero (a random number generator).<br />
<br />
Before the countdown can complete, everybody from Planet express enters dressed as Santa, except Zoidberg, who for some reason is dressed as [[Religion#Regular Jesus|Jesus]]. However, the mayor doesn't fall for their ploy.<br />
<br />
===Act V: Ho! Ho! Ho!===<br />
The random number generator reaches zero, and the electromagnets fire up, tearing Bender apart slowly. His inhibition unit is disabled and he begins to sing. Just before he is torn completely apart, the real Santa breaks through the wall and destroys the Magnexecutioner. Bender fears for his life, but Santa reveals that he actually needs Bender's help to finish the Xmas rampage. Bender agrees to help, and they both leave.<br />
<br />
Much violence ensues, though most of it is merely property damage.<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, the crew is huddled together for warmth, and Fry realizes that ''fear'' has brought them together.<br />
<br />
Bender and Santa run into Kwanzaa-Bot, who invites Bender to Chanuka Zombie's luau at the B'nai B'rith. Before he can leave, Santa gives Bender a present, which turns out to be empty. Santa warns Bender that if he impersonates Santa again, he'll be killed. Santa then ejects Bender from the hoversleigh, and flies away, leaving the city in ruin.<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Although [[John Goodman]] played Santa in [[Xmas Story]], he was unable (or unwilling) to return, so [[John DiMaggio]] played the part.<br />
*[[Dan Castellaneta]] was unavailable due to his work on ''The Simpsons'', so [[Maurice LaMarche]] provided the voice of the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
<br />
===Quotes===<br />
*'''Mayor Poopenmeyer''': How dare you lie in front of Jesus?!<br />
*'''Mayor Poopenmeyer''': Help us, Jesus!<br>'''Zoidberg/Jesus''': I help those who help themselves!<br />
*'''Leela''': Professor! Don't you remember what I told you?!<br />'''Professor Farnsworth''': Noooo!!!<br />
*'''Hyper-Chicken''': I'm sorry, I thought you was corn.<br />
*'''Santa Claus''': I'm dreaming of a RED X-Mas. Ho-ho-ho!<br />
<br />
===Allusions===<br />
*When we see the [[Robot Mafia]] beating a shopkeeper on Santa's video screen, [[Clamps]] is wielding a rather stiff dead cat as a weapon. This may be a reference to Simon Bond's book ''101 Uses of a Dead Cat'' and its sequels.<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*Leela's "logical paradox" is not truly a logical paradox. It requires that Santa believes those he's judged naughty are not in fact naughty. But he clearly thinks they are, so no paradox is created. A true paradox might sound something like this: "This sentence is untrue."<br />
<br />
*Petunia is barefoot when Bender first enters her apartment, but is wearing high heels when she shoots him with the flamethrower.<br />
<br />
*When [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] stands next to "Maggie" the electro-magnet execution machine, several items seem to be pulled from his coat pockets humourously, because of the magnetic pull of the magnet. Unfortunately, the electro-magnet is not on when this happens ''(although possibly when the magnet is disengaged it still exerts a minor magnetic force - enough to pull small objects, but not enough to execute a robot).''<br />

'''Hedonism Bot''' is a robot who has the concept of hedonism written right into his programming. He is fond of grapes, wine, opera and vomiting, among other things, and apologizes for nothing. His behaviour resembles that of a rich decadent Roman noble of ancient times, and he is a great patron of the opera with his very own box in the [[New_New_York#Metropolitan_House_of_Opera|Metropolitan House of Opera]]. He actually ordered [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] to write an opera in which Fry would perform playing the [[Holophonor]]. It is unclear what purpose, if any, Hedonism Bot actually serves. He is allegedly built with tax dollars.<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Hedonism is the philosophy that pleasure is of ultimate importance, the most important pursuit.<br />
* Hedonismbot is one of the very few robots designed without square pupils. However, there was one moment in {{flink/noicon|The Beast with a Billion Backs}} when he did have square pupils.<br />
* Another design flaw arose in {{flink/noicon|The Beast with a Billion Backs}} when he had a mouth designed similarly to [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]'s instead of vertical lines, though it worked the same as usual.<br />
* Is made of solid gold (although apparently there is some plating to give him different shades of it)<br />

'''[[Wikipedia:Spiro Agnew|Spiro Agnew]]''' served briefly as the Vice President under [[Richard Nixon's head|Richard Nixon]], although he resigned after being charged with tax evasion.<br />
<br />
The headless body of Spiro Theodore Agnew appears briefly in the episode "Crimes of the Hot." He was to be given to [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]] as payment for the destruction of all the robots currently partying on the Galapagos Islands. As Wernstrom failed, Nixon kept him. His behavior mostly mimics that of the Frankenstein monster, although it could be less specific than that.<br />
<br />
The only sound we hear him make is growling which is odd for two reasons. First, he is headless. Second, even if his vocal chords were still inside of his neck, it is covered with a metal plate. <br />
<br />
We have yet to see Agnew's head, although we likely never will. Spiro is much less of a cultural icon than Nixon, and the majority of Futurama's audience would not know who he is.<br />

Although never seen, '''Venusians''' do seem to exist. Their existence is proven by the painting [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] shows the [[Planet Express Ship]] called [[Venus de Venus]]. Other examples of the Venusians existence are the words ''Venusians Go Home'' plastered around the city in [[Alien Languages|AL1]]. Venusians seem to use [[Alien Languages|AL2]], as a van is see with the words ''A Venusian Corporation'' written on it in AL2.<br />

Because of the Venus de Venus, which clearly shows a female of the [[Blobs|Blob]] species, we may deduce that the Blobs are in fact Venusians.<br />

}}<br />
'''Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez''' (Model: '''Bending Unit 22''') is a bending unit, who works at [[Planet Express]] as Assistant Manager of Sales, formerly chef of the company. He is one of the primary characters and is known for his "in-your-face interface".<br />
<!--SEE THE DISCUSSION PAGE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING SECTION:<br />
<br />
He weighs 525 pounds (238kg) and his central processing unit is a [[wikipedia:MOS Technology 6502|MOS Technologies 6502 processor]]. His arms and legs can be separated from the body and may act independently from it, and his head is able to survive without his body.<br />
<br />
His internal fuel cells are recharged by drinking alcohol or any other liquid capable of delivering chemical energy, such as mineral oil or [[Dark Matter|dark matter oil]]. If he does not drink alcohol for a while, he suffers symptoms of intoxication, develops five-o'-clock rust around his mouth and leaks oil from his armpits. He carries a nuclear pile that seems to be composed of fissionable material, enabling the construction of miniature nuclear weapons.<br />
<br />
Bender has a highly addictive personality, and his favorite pastimes are watching [[All My Circuits]], stealing things, drinking, and smoking. He lives in the [[New New York#Robot Arms Apartments|Robot Arms Apartments]] with his roommate [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. In spite of his general selfishness and family-sized ego, he has occasionally demonstrated a capacity for generosity, even self-sacrifice, where his good friends are involved.<br />
<br />
One of Bender's life-long dreams is to be a folk singer&mdash;a dream he briefly lived when he toured with [[Beck]] ([[Bendin' in the Wind|3ACV13]]). Normally his inhibition unit keeps his musical urges under control, but it tends to shut down in the presence of strong magnetic fields (especially in close proximity to his head). Ultimately things turned out tragically; fortunately for Bender, he's a robot with many life-long dreams. Another is being a great chef, like his idol [[Elzar]]. He achieved this dream as well when he defeated Elzar on the show ''[[Iron Cook]]'' ([[The 30% Iron Chef|3ACV22]]).--><br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
[[Image:Montholdbender.png|thumb|left|Bender when he was only a month old]]<br />
===Early years===<br />
Bender Bending Rodríguez was built in Tijuana, Mexico in [[Timeline|2998]] by [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]]. There is some speculation about what happened in the following two years, except few things are certain, he briefly studied Bending at Bending State University, though he also graduated from the facility he was built in.<br />
<br />
He soon got a job bending girders, but after realizing that the purpose of the girders he bent were for [[suicide booth]]s, he figured that his purpose was meaningless and thus decided to kill himself in one of the suicide booths he had helped construct.<br />
<br />
===You really want a robot for a friend?===<br />
{{further|Season 1}}<br />
While waiting in line to kill himself on December 31st, 2999, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who was clearly not familiar with suicide booths, stood in front of him, thinking it was a phone booth. Bender helped him along. But they managed to get out of the suicide booth alive. Bender soon learns that Fry is from the 20th Century and had been frozen for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
But since Fry refused to get [[Career chip|assigned]] to his job, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] was on his tail. Bender helped them escape through the [[Head Museum]] and soon down to [[Old New York]] below [[New New York]]. Here Leela finally caught up with them. Bender decided to stay with them and they headed over to Fry's nephew, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. Farnsworth soon accepted their offer, and luckily for them, he had the proper career chips.<br />
<br />
===Farnworth's asset===<br />
As an employee at Planet Express he continued his kleptomania, drinking and smoking. He convinced Fry to move in with him and soon [[Hermes Conrad]] forced him to actually do something around the company. He got assigned as chef of the company, one of his dreams was apparently to cook, but having no sense of taste made vile meals for the staff.<br />
<br />
Bender got into trouble when he began abusing electricity (jacking on), and his friends were not in favor of it. Saddened by their discontent, he sought new opportunities in [[religion]]. He joined Robotology, but this just made him a lot more annoying to his friends. So they decided to make him sin to become his regular self again, and during a visit to [[Robot Hell]] and the [[Robot Devil]], Fry and Leela managed to save him.<br />
<br />
Bender himself never found true love, and one of the few close fembots he knew got sucked into a black hole after [[Zapp Brannigan]] had crashed the [[Titanic]] into it. But his personality continued to be a problem for his friends, and Leela became very upset with him when he flushed [[Nibbler]] down the toilet. The Professor "carefully" implanted an empathy chip in Bender, which forced him to feel Leela's every emotion for a short while.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Bender.png|thumb|right|250px|Bender Bending Rodríguez]]<br />
<br />
===The less of two evils===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
During a visit to [[Past-O-Rama]] they bumped into [[Flexo]], another Bending Unit, possibly also of the same model number (22). Flexo and Bender became good friends, but Fry feared that Flexo is evil, and in a mix up at the Miss Universe contest Flexo was arrested for Bender's attempt to steal the tiara.<br />
<br />
Bender briefly joined the [[Robot Mafia]] and fought in the [[Ultimate Robot Fighting]] League until his popularity slipped and he was rigged out of the league. Together with his fellow robots he rebelled against [[Humans|humanity]].<br />
<br />
===Well - I'm rich===<br />
Bender's Uncle [[Vladimir]] died and Bender was to inherit his castle. He asked the crew to stay there for one night and they agreed to it. Bender was not at all comfortable in his new castle and the start up sound of Windows 98 was not helping either.<br />
<br />
While being chased by several hologram ghosts, he fled out in the yard where he was run over by a [[Were-Car|were-car]]. The collision caused a virus to be beamed into him and he became a were-car. Bender did not realize this until later, but the [[Gypsy]] told them the only way to get rid of the virus would be destroy the original were-car. So through a long journey they found the original were-car and destroyed it, and thus Bender was free of the virus.<br />
<br />
Whether he kept the castle or not is unknown.<br />
<br />
===When I'm found in a thousand years, they will know what the score was===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<br />
Bender continued his life with many adventures together with Fry and Leela. He temporarily worked for [[Calculon]] as his water heater. He met up with Flexo again, but this time he was not happy to see him, because Bender figured that his second true love was still in love with Flexo. Bender screwed it up and the divorcees got back together.<br />
<br />
He was briefly sent to an institute for insane robots, got to tour around with [[Beck]] and fulfil his dream of becoming a folk-singer, became Pharaoh of an entire planet and beat [[Elzar]] on the [[television]] show [[Iron Cook]].<br />
<br />
But during a battle with [[Space Pirates]] Bender got shot out through the torpedo slot and was forced to drift through space. He for some time became the God of the [[Shrimpkins]] which was a life form that had grown on his stomach. But after they all died out, Bender met up with the [[Galactic Entity]] who he believes ''is'' God. And the Entity sent Bender back to [[Earth]].<br />
<br />
===[I] should not be allowed on TV!===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
Bender was still wanting his fame, he found interest in becoming [[Bender (All My Circuits)|the new]] [[Antonio Calculon, Jr.|Antonio]] on [[All My Circuits]]. He got the job. But Calculon was hardly impressed by Bender's performance, however the Network executives disagreed. So Bender got to continue on the show, but in his true nature.<br />
<br />
But when Bender realized that his behaviour on TV causes [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] and [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] to steal his stuff, he called off the show.<br />
<br />
Bender joined Fry and Leela briefly as they gained super powers in [[the New Justice Team]], he has had an affair with the [[Planet Express Ship]], he got modeled into a fembot and had a relationship shortly with Calculon and helped [[Robot Santa]] as a replacement.<br />
<br />
===Dumb dumb away!===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
But the company got into trouble when the [[Box Network]] canceled its license, and for two years they were not able to deliver packages. Luckily though, their license was renewed and they went back in business.<br />
<br />
Bender became the centre of attention as the new masters of the company lead by [[Nudar]] infected him with an [[iObey]] virus and they forced him to go back in time and steal all of Earth's valuables. But when Fry managed to escape back into the past, they send him after Fry to kill him, and after 12 years tireless hunting, he managed to do so.<br />
<br />
But he soon learnt that the Fry he killed was doomed anyway because he was a [[time paradox duplicate]]. But after being stranded on [[Neptune]] for a while, humanity and he decided to fight back, and after with the help of Hermes the war was won, he revealed that he himself had kept [[the Spheroboom]] that the scammers had told him to keep safe, thus saving the day. <br />
<br />
However, while on a trip back in time to make sense out of everything that had happened that year, a mishap led to him accidentally tearing the universe open.<br />
<br />
===Death to humans...===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After becoming an official stalker for [[Calculon]] by Calculon, Bender fell into a deep depression after Calculon informed him that there was no such thing as the [[League of Robots]], a society of robots which came to the aid of robots abused by humans, and which Bender had worshipped for his entire life. He contemplated commiting suicide until he was approached by the League led by Calculon himself; he lied about its non-existence to ensure its secrecy.<br />
<br />
Bender became the newest member of the League and began to personally enforce the no-humans policy of the organization, becoming very famous within it. However, Bender was caught helping his human friends and his bluffs were called by Calculon, whom Bender challenged to a duel. Bender broke the rules of the duel, severely injuring Calculon and nearly exposing the League, but instead of being kicked out of the League, Calculon resigned his position as President and gave it to Bender.<br />
<br />
Bender organized the [[Army of the Damned]] (trading [[Bender's First Born Son|his firstborn son]] to the [[Robot Devil]] for it) to take over the world, only to discover that its entire population was already leaving to live on the body of a giant tentacled monster named [[Yivo]]. Bender soon received a letter from Fry describing how wonderful life was there, but Bender ended up interfering by [[The Robot Invasion of Heaven|attacking Yivo]] and attempting to bring humanity back. Soon, for personal reasons, Yivo unwittingly complied with Bender and had everybody return to Earth.<br />
<br />
===I know not of this Bender===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Bender finds himself attempting to catch up with a game of Dungeons and Dragons, played by [[Cubert Farnsworth]] and his friends. He soon hits the obstacle of realising he has no imagination. But the more he tries, he eventually believes he is [[Titanius Anglesmith]], Fancy Man of [[Cornwood]].<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his imagination grows wild, and he is sent to [[HAL Institute]] to be cured. The therapy is unsuccessful and they decide to put him down. But while he is about to be put down, the [[dark matter]] crystals becomes close enough, allowing Bender's imaginary to become real.<br />
<br />
In his fantasy, he is the owner of a castle. When he hears of [[Waltazar, Larius and Ignus|Black Knights]] approaching, he sets out with his friends, [[Leegola]] and [[Frydo]]. Discovering the [[Die of Power]], he sets off to [[The Great Wizard Greyfarn|Greyfarn]], where they learn of the story behind the Die. Titanius is slightly against the quest, but decides to tackle along. On several occasions, he refers to going back, such as when they have just passed through the [[Cave of Hopelessness]].<br />
<br />
On the other side, [[the Fellowship]] decides to seek [[Wipe Castle]] for help. Unfortunately, [[Roberto|the king]] is a loon, and the entire royal army is gone. As [[Momon]]'s forces arrive, they have a large, unwinnable, battle, at hand. But as things seems darkest, [[Leegola]] and her centaur army saves Wipe Castle. Knowing of Frydo's quest, the Fellowship decides to go help him. But they are too late, and Momon wins the battle, causing the imagination finally to stop.<br />

*Tandy, Uncle Vladimir's son and hence Bender's cousin.<br />

<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Age===<br />
Bender was originally constructed in 2998, making him 1-2 years old when Fry met him in 2999. The events in "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" make his head 1055 years older than the rest of his body. The incident in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" does largely not count as an ageing or the opposite, and fans largely regard his age to remain intact. In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', Bender travels back in time several times, though the amount of times is unknown, the amount of Benders that appear at the end, may suggest at least a couple of thousand times. Given how many of these travels seems to be between 1000 to 5000 years in the past (from about 3007), an educated guess would make him at least a million years old, but probably more.<br />
<br />
In the comic, "[[Rust in Peace]]", it is revealed that Bender, due to too much time travelling, must be inserted into a renewed unit. Farnsworth determines his age to be 27 203 before moving him to his new body. But 27 203 seems a lot less than what would be a quick educated guess. 27 203 would require Bender to have gone at least about a thousand years back each time and only gone 27 times, or instead gone more years back and done fewer than 27 times. But regardless of the ordeal, the amount of Benders appearing at the end of ''Bender's Big Score'' seems to contradict this fact. The event in the comic is thus not necessarily considered [[canon]].<br />
<br />
But a more important obstacle than mathematics to the comic, is the last Direct-to-DVD film, ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', on the [[Commentary:Bender's Big Score|commentary]] of ''Bender's Big Score'', the crew discusses the nature of the rapidly ageing Bender to become of a plot significance. Which would make the comic a direct contradiction of the film, and by definition, the episodes and films always prevails in canon.<br />
<br />

<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Bender's apartment number is 00100100. This is a binary representation of the ASCII character '$' or 36 in decimal.<br />
*Bender's serial number is 2716057. This can be expressed as the sum of 2 cubes. Specifically, 952<sup>3</sup> + (-951)<sup>3</sup><br />
*Additionally, he seems to be the [[1729]]<sup>th</sup> unit produced by his "mommy".<br />
*The word "bender" can refer to a drinking spree, hinting at Bender's heavy alcohol use.<br />
*Bender is powered by a 6502 Microprocessor.<br />
*Bender dies at the end of both of his what-if scenarios in each Anthology of Interest.<br />
*His self-destruct code is 1A2B3.<br />
*Bender cannot be around magnets, or it will screw up his inhibition unit, thus causing him to sing folk songs.<br />
*Apparently stole the Prime Minister of Norway's arm.<br />
*His birthstone is [[Robobium]]<br />
*Is able to simultaneously reattach each of his severed arms with the other.<br />
*He cannot get up when he is knocked on his back. At least not until he learns how to from the majestic turtle.<br />
*His antenna interferes with satelite televisions, along with some cellphones.<br />
*He, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], appears in all episodes of the series.<br />
*No one can say he doesn't own John Laraquette's Spine<br />
*Bender has Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fear of the number 666.<br />
*May be one of the most evil robots in the series, as acknowledged by [[Robot Santa]] and the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
*Bender's favorite cause of death is being crushed to death by a big rig driven by The Incredible Hulk<br />
*In Firefox 3, if you type "about:robots" into the address bar, a page with several cultural references to robots is displayed. The fourth bullet point says "Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten."<br />
<br />
===Voice===<br />
Of all the voices on the show, Bender's voice was the most difficult to cast. This is because none of the creators and crew were sure what a robot should sound like yet. So they had every voice actor who auditioned also audition for the role of Bender. Even [[David X. Cohen]] was suggested for the role.<br />
<br />
[[John DiMaggio]] originally auditioned with Bender's voice for Professor Farnsworth. Among the bases for the voice were the character of Taggart from [[Wikipedia:Blazing Saddles|Blazing Saddles]] and DiMaggio's original character "Charlie the Sausage Lover". In the [[Commentary:Spanish Fry|audio commentary of Spanish Fry]], David X. Cohen joked about it also being "90 parts John DiMaggio."<br />
<br />
===Catchphrase===<br />
Bender's basic catchphrase is "Bite my shiny metal ass!"<br /><br />
Sound:[http://www.uploadfilego.com/download2.php?a=35c7a7fba70d5ed65463adc3da237934&b=a016616316958b868886064d10a8b4e7 BenderBitesAss.mp3]<br />
<br />
Variations on this include the following:<br />
*Bite my red-hot glowing ass! [[When Aliens Attack|(1ACV12)]]<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! [[Xmas Story|(2ACV04)]]<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! [[Anthology of Interest I|(2ACV16)]]<br />
*The modern world can bite my splintery wooden ass! [[Obsoletely Fabulous|(4ACV14)]]<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! [[The Farnsworth Parabox|(4ACV15)]]<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! ([[Bender's Game]])<br />
<br />
Another common catchphrase of his is whenever he says "me", he usually follows it by "Bender", thus producing the sentence "me, Bender." Thus making him the most said character name on the show.<br />
A third common catchphrase Bender says is "Well, we're boned.", said in situations where he, or a group of people including him, are in a large amount of trouble. A fourth catchphrase is "I'm back, baby!" whenever he makes an intriguing appearance on the scene; Bender had also said the phrase "We're back, baby!" on numerous occasions, particularly in reference to the series' revival. One phrase that Bender uses less commonly is "Cheese it!" whenever he encourages other characters to run away from trouble. Another slightly less common catchphrase is used whenever Bender describes amusement, he describes it as "fun on the bun!" Bender also tends to occasionally pull out a purple camera during certain moments, snap a picture, and say "Neat!"<br />
<br />
As stated in "[[War Is the H-Word]]", the top ten words that Bender uses more than any others is as follows:<br />
<br />
10 - Chump<br>9 - Chumpette<br>8 - Yours<br>7 - Up<br>6 - Pimpmobile<br>5 - Bite<br>4 - My<br>3 - Shiny<br>2 - Daffodil<br>1 - Ass<br />
<br />
It is by no means impossible that the second word in the list is not "metal" considering all the variations of his catchphrase. In reference to his use of the word "daffodil", he said the sentence "Hot-diggidy-daffodil" in this episode and again in ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''. "Chumpette" is only uttered once though. "Pimpmobile" was also spoken by Bender in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]].<br />
<br />
===Composition===<br />
Bender routinely claims to be made of thirty to forty percent of various metals. Unfortunately, his credibility on this matter is thrown into question by the fact that they add up to well over one hundred percent:<br />
*40% Zinc ([[Fry and the Slurm Factory|1ACV13]])<br />
*40% Titanium ([[A Head in the Polls|2ACV02]])<br />
*30% Iron ([[The 30% Iron Chef|3ACV22]])<br />
*40% Dolemite ([[Jurassic Bark|4ACV07]])<br />
*An unknown quantity of osmium ([[A Pharaoh to Remember|3ACV17]])<br />
Total: (greater than) 150%.<br />
<br />
Additionally, he has a 0.04% nickel impurity, which doesn't ''increase'' total percentage, but slightly ''decreases'' the percentages of everything else. This is apparently not a standard impurity, and is cited as making him unique.<br />
<br />

'''Martians''', also known as '''Native Martians''' are a species from Mars. They once owned the land and the [[Buggalo]], but sold it to the Wongs for a gigantic diamond which they assumed was a worthless bead. They tried to steal the Buggalo and get their land back, until they found out they hadn't been screwed over after all and the diamond made them exceptionally wealthy. After this realization, they left to find a new home, dismissing Mars as a dump. The Martians often protest that their ancestors' bones aren't treated with respect.<br />

==The Story==<br />
<br />
===Act I: Sweden? I don't think so!===<br />
The crew attend to the 3004 Olympic Games. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] competes in the Men's 500 meter Limbo contest, as the rest of the Jamaican team have been detained at the airport because of "other interests". Since he is a bit out of shape, Hermes relies on his body-shaping spandex suit the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] gave him in order to uphold Jamaica's honour and beat his bitter rival [[Barbados Slim]]. He almost succeeds, but the suit bursts shortly before he reaches the finish line and Hermes loses. Meanwhile [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] is dreaming of winning a few medals in the bending contests for himself, but as he sees no chance of beating the ultra-powerful manbots, he disguises himself as a fembot and enrols under the name "Coilette from Robonia". He wins five medals, but in order to pass the gender check afterwards, he undergoes a sex change operation/oil change the Professor gives him. The operation is a success and Bender gets to keep his medals, however, he is now female.<br />
<br />
===Act II: Maybe she's right about the lipstick!===<br />
As the winner of five gold medals, "Coilette" is an instant celebrity and is invited to [[Television|Late Night with Humorbot 5.0]]. She decides to stay female for the time being, although it endangers her ability to change back. At the Late Night show, she meets [[Calculon]] who instantly falls in love with her. They go on a date, while [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] start worrying together with the rest of the crew. Coilette undergoes wild mood swings that are connected with the sex change. Shortly thereafter, Calculon asks Coilette to marry him and she accepts.<br />
<br />
===Act III: If I help you with this, do you promise to get out of my gender and stay out?===<br />
Coilette wants to make the wedding a scam to get at Calculon's money, but then realizes she truly loves him and can't bring herself to hurt him. The crew rush to her aid to create a proper ending for the liason which Calculon can deal with: a Soap Opera Death. At the wedding, Leela, Fry, Hermes and Zoidberg stage an elaborate and very stylish death for Coilette so Calculon can accept the loss. Afterwards, the Professor changes Coilette back into Bender, much to the relief of Leela and Amy.<br />

==The Story==<br />
<br />
===Act I: Sweden? I don't think so!===<br />
The crew attend to the 3004 Olympic Games. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] competes in the Men's 500 meter Limbo contest, as the rest of the Jamaican team have been detained at the airport because of "other interests". Since he is a bit out of shape, Hermes relies on his body-shaping spandex suit the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] gave him in order to uphold Jamaica's honour and beat his bitter rival [[Barbados Slim]]. He almost succeeds, but the suit bursts shortly before he reaches the finish and Hermes loses. Meanwhile [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] is dreaming of winning a few medals in the bending contests for himself, but as he sees no chance of beating the manbots, he disguises himself as a fembot and enrols under the name of Coilette from Robonia. He wins five medals, but in order to pass the gender check afterwards, he undergoes a sex change operation/oil change the Professor gives him. The operation is a success and Bender gets to keep his medals, however, he is now female.<br />
<br />
===Act II: Maybe she's right about the lipstick!===<br />
As the winner of five gold medals, Bender / coilette is an instant celebrity and is invited to [[Television|Late Night with Humorbot 5.0]]. Bender decides to stay female for the time being, although it endangers his ability to change back. At the Late Night show, he/she meets [[Calculon]] who instantly falls in love with her. They go on a date, while the ladies [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] start worrying together with the rest of the crew. Bender undergoes wild mood swings that are connected with his sex change. Calculon proposes Bender / Coilette to marry him, and he/she agrees.<br />
<br />
===Act III: If I help you with this, do you promise to get out of my gender and stay out?===<br />
Bender wants to make the wedding a scam to get at Calculon's money, but then realizes he truly loves him and can't bring it over himself to hurt him. The crew rush to Bender's aid to inscene a proper ending for the liason which Calculon can deal with: a Soap Opera Death. At the wedding, Leela, Fry, Hermes and Zoidberg stage a very stylish death for Coilette so Calculon can take it. Afterwards, the Professor changes Bender back to a manbot, much to the relief of Leela and Amy.<br />

'''Lisa''' lives on a island with three other outdated robots. She has to somewhat constantly refill her waterwheel or else she will power down and die.<br />
<br />
When the island inhabitants, led by [[Bender]] in a wooden submarine, return to society with the goal of destroying technology Lisa declares her love for [[Bender]].

'''Cartridge Unit''' lives in a community of outdated robots who refused to upgrade and now live a simpler existence on a little island, free of technology. The speech of this outdated robot, while cartridge dependant, seems situational at times as he was able to call Bender by his name. The selection is always made by Cartridge Unit itself.<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
[[Image:Cartridge_obvious.png|left|thumb|"State the obvious"]]<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*Has to put Cartridges into his case to talk, just has a set of tapes, each causing different types of speeches, which he carries in a bag around his chest.<br />
*Along with the rest of the outdated robots he was only seen in a scenario generated by Bender's imagination. However his name appears on the wheel of robots in {{elink/noicon|4ACV18|The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings}}, indicating he and the others actually exist. Since Bender recognized the unit type, it is likely he is not unique.<br />

'''Planet Express''' is an intergalactic delivery company started by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] to fund his research.<br />
<br />
The company scrapes by, in spite of fierce competition from the leader in package delivery, [[MomCorp|Mom's Friendly Delivery Company]]. They stay in business thanks to their complete disregard for safety and minimum wage laws.<br />
<br />
During its existence, the company have at times changed owner, [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] and [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] took over the business when they inherited, during their reign it was named "Awesome Express". Later a man referred to only as "[[That Guy|that guy]]" (but named 'Steve Castle' in the script) was elected CEO and ran the business as "PlanEx". Later the [[Scammer Aliens]], lead by [[Nudar]], took over. In all cases, the company had been returned to Professor Farnsworth, either due to death or realisation of being unfit for business.<br />

*Planet Express Building, Headquarters and starship hangar<br />
*[[Planet Express Ship]], Intergalactic delivery ship<br />

<br />
===Floor Plan===<br />
The Planet Express Building has an ever-changing floor plan. Rooms such as the Angry Dome can appear only in [[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch|one episode]] and never be seen again. A cross section was made available in [[Planet X-Press Men|one of]] the [[Comic Listing|comics]] and the building could be explored in the [[Futurama (video game)|game]], but both of these layouts omitted features.<br />
<br />
The building is known to have at least five floors, including two basement levels, and was built on top of a limestone cavern. The location of the Professor and Cubert's bedrooms within the building are unknown.<br />
<br />
Places inside the building include the Professor's Lab, [[Hermes Conrad]]'s office, [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]]'s office, the main hangar, an observatory, a lounge, the basement, a dining room and a kitchen. There is also a room called "The Accusing Parlour." It is first used in the [[Anthology of Interest I]] when Zoidberg is trying to solve a murder. Although the two Anthology of Interests are not considered canon, the room is used a second time when the Professor accuses Fry of breaking his [[Scale model of the world's largest bottle|model ship]] in [[The 30% Iron Chef]], confirming its existence.<br />

In ''[[Bender's Game]]'', we see they zoom in on a map that shows the Planet Express building. In the [[Commentary:Bender's Game|commentary]] [[David X.

A comparison between the screencap and the [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=West+57th+Street,+Manhattan&sll=40.766632,-73.982105&sspn=0.028278,0.058537&ie=UTF8&ll=40.769557,-73.985882&spn=0.014138,0.029268&z=15 location on Google Maps] seems to agree with Cohen, though.<br />

The '''Near Death Star''' is a "planet" with spikes on it and is probably metal. The planet is inhabited by the Sunset Squad Robots, a group of robots that own it and take the old people. Old people past the age of 160 are taken there, out of the way of society on [[Earth]] and is used for energy like the ones in the movie "The Matrix". [[professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] was taken there after he revealed that he was actually 160. The old people are hooked up to a life support system, making them think they are in Florida.<br />

===Trivia===<br />
*The name is a reference to the Empire's Death Star from the original ''Star Wars''.<br />
*An unspiky version of the Near Death Star was seen in [[When Aliens Attack]], after Fry spills beer on the transmitter and "zooms" into space; right after the asteroid belt and before Jupiter, a white ball-like structure can be seen with streaks like the Near Death Star.<br />
*The "endless rows" are similar to the Mines of Moria in the ''Lord of the Rings'', although the first of the LOTR films were released after this episode. Though they could be inspired by the original works of Tolkien or other animated adaptations, they are more likely an intentional evocation of The Matrix in that these endless rows are filled with towers, the towers filled with the elderly. The parallel is confirmed when Professor Farnsworth is discovered in a capsule similar to Neo's in The Matrix.<br />
*The structures where the old people are placed within are all shaped like tombstones.<br />

'''Calculon''' is most famous as [[Calculon (All My Circuits)|the star]] of the hit robot soap opera ''[[All My Circuits]]''. He has also appeared in films, including ''[[The Magnificent Three]]'', for which he was nominated for an Oscar although this was just [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] trying to save his own skin as Calculon had said earlier that if he didn't win one he would kill [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], [[Harold Zoid]] and Zoidberg.<br />
<br />
Throughout his career he has lived a secret life unknown to the public. He is over a thousand years old, rather than 37 as claimed in his biography. He changes identities every few decades, and starting out from a humble beginning as a motorized service arm working on [[Project Satan]] made his way to being many of history's great acting robots, including Acting Unit 0.8, Thespa-mat, and [[Wikipedia:David Duchovny|David Duchovny]]. For most of this thousand years, he was also a [[Were-Car]], until [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] broke the curse by destroying the original were-car.<br />

}}<br />
The '''Nibblonians''' stand about one foot tall and have two large eyes, as well as a third eye on an antenna in the center of their foreheads. They have black fur (leaving them prone to hairballs), with pale yellow circles on their bellies and around their mouths. The males have fangs but the females don't. They are widely considered to be the cutest race ever to exist, though this is something the Nibblonians resent.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Nibblonians are a proud, ancient race, their history extending 17 years before the universe existed. Brilliant and powerful, since the dawn of time they have battled their ancient nemesis, the [[Brain Spawn]]. <br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
The Nibblonians live extraordinarily long lives. It is not known at what age, or even if, they die of old-age; all that is known is that they can live far in excess of 1,000 years. They seem to eat only meat, and in prodigious quantities. They regularly consume many times their body weight per day, without gaining weight. As waste, they excrete pellets of [[Dark Matter]], an extremely heavy material that is valuable as a starship fuel. The mechanism by which meat, which is made of ordinary matter, is converted into dark matter inside the Nibblonians advanced digestive tract is unknown, it may be based on a kind of black hole or pocket dimension, whatever the case; Nibblonians are capable of swallowing themselves to enter their digestive systems. The Nibblonian eyestalk is capable of emitting several types of energy that can wipe memories or burn skin.<br />

==The Story==<br />
===Act I: It's a baby!===<br />
The crew is watching [[Good Morning Earth]] when the doorbell rings. [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]'s laziness forces [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] to answer the door. She finds what she thinks to be a "doorbell baby", but it turns out to be an invitation to a reuinion at her [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium|orphanarium]]. She is at first reluctant to go, since they constantly teased her while she was there, but Fry convinces her that she can rub her success in their faces.<br />
<br />
[[Warden Vogel]] greets Leela, and they reminisce briefly. Fry and Bender are enjoying the buffet, when Leela shows them a photo of her group. She reveals that, although he picked on her, she had a crush on fellow orphan, [[Adlai Atkins]]. Leela attempts to show the other [[Orphans|orphans]] how successful she's become, but in spite of their horrible lives, they still lord their two eyes over her. Adlai, however, stands up for her, and she is wooed when she discovers he's a (tall) doctor.<br />
<br />
While Bender is partaking of the free bar, Warden Vogel pitches adoption. Bender is swayed by the prospect of a government stipend of one hundred dollars per week.<br />
<br />
Adlai apologizes for making fun of Leela, and to make up for it, offers to give her a prosthetic eye to appear normal. Bender meanwhile shows Fry his new adoptive children, then leaves to pick up his government stipends.<br />
<br />
===Act II: Leela doesn't need surgery!===<br />
At [[Planet Express]], the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] thinks getting the surgery is a good idea. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] also agrees , having had cosmetic surgery herself. Fry, however, is adamantly against it, but Leela decides to get the surgery anyway.<br />
<br />
At [[New New York#Taco_Bellevue_Hospital|Taco Bellevue Hospital]], Adlai unravels the gauze from Leela's surgery (after first having unwrapped the wrong patient), to reveal her new two-eyed look.<br />
<br />
===Act III: I blunk!===<br />
The entire crew is stunned, and all of them (except Fry) are quite impressed. Leela struggles with synchronized blinking, and after a few tries successfully screws up [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]' picture.<br />
<br />
Leela then goes out on the town, showing off her new look (and purchasing several two-eye accessories). Amy teaches her how to apply makeup with two eyes. Leela runs into the blind kid from the orphanarium, and make him feel her two eyes, much to his chagrin.<br />
<br />
Bender enters with his children, and shows off his check to the crew. The children, however, are hungry.<br />
<br />
Adlai shows up at PE for Leela's followup exam, and asks her out on a date. Fry points out the he's liked Leela all along, and that Adlai only likes her because she's now got two eyes.<br />
<br />
Bender takes the kids to a bar, and offers them the free peanuts. After a moment, a cheap floosie hits on Bender. Bender is distracted by all the children hugging him, and the floosie leaves. He threatens the children (with hugging), and they cheer.<br />
<br />
Adlai takes Leela to the [[Municipal Aboretum]], and gets her an average bouquet from the [[Altairean Bouquet Tree]]. Leela is impressed and leans in for a kiss, which Adlai returns, as plainly as possible.<br />
<br />
Leela takes the crew out to meet Adlai, and Fry still insists that being weird is what makes Leela special, and points out the abnormalities of the rest of the crew.<br />
<br />
Bender is also at the restaurant with his kids, and after [[Elzar]] gives him the check, Bender and the kids run out without paying. Adlai is inspired to have kids with Leela.<br />
<br />
===Act IV: Daddy, how do I flush you?===<br />
Benders kids ask for a story, and Bender reads them "Bender's Arrest Record" by the Police. After the story, he sends the kid to bed and take Fry into the living room to talk. Bender calculates how much he's making from the government stipends, and finds that he's actually ''losing'' money.<br />
<br />
At Adlai's house, Leela and Adlai are doing a jigsaw puzzle, and brings up the prospect of having children again. Leela suggests that, as orphans, they should adopt a child.<br />
<br />
Because Bender cleaned out the orphanarium, they are forced to go to Bender, who is running his own orphanarium in an attempt to get rid of the kids. Leela and Adlai are unable to decide.<br />
<br />
===Act V: You're under arrest!===<br />
Before they can think about it, [[Smitty and Url|the police]] break down Bender's door and arrest Bender and Fry. Bender and Fry (and the children, thanks to Bender ratting them out) are in a jail cell, when Leela asks to adopt one of them, and is told that she may. She sees an orphan with three ears being taunted by the other children and is reminded of her own childhood. She tells Adlai that she wants this one (Sally), and Adlai is reluctant, but Leela insists. He accepts, and promises to give her an operation to make her acceptable. Leela is outraged, saying that she doesn't ''need'' and operation, but Adlai points out the Leela had an operation as well. Leela finally realizes that she would've been better off being abnormal, to Fry's delight, and threatens Adlai to force him to remove her prosthetic eye.<br />
<br />
Bender donates his orphans and his government stipend check to the orphanarium, and they rename it in his honour: The Bender B. Rodriguez Orphanarium. The kids give him a drawing of himself with them, and he crumples it up and tosses it inside his chest cabinet. The children walk away in dejection, but Bender sneakily pulls the drawing back out, smooths it out, and places it on the inside of his door. The children notice this and mob him with hugs.<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*This episode was nominated for an award for positive portrayal of the handicapped.<br />
<br />
===Quotes===<br />
*'''Warden Vogel''': Keep adoption in mind. It's a great way to have a kid without having sex.<br>'''Fry''': Really? (rolls eyes)<br />
*'''Leela''' (to Adalai): Listen here mister, by the end of the day, one of us is going to have one eye!<br />
*'''Albert''': Can we have Bender Burgers again?<br>'''Bender''': No! The cat shelter's on to me!<br />
*'''Bender''': O.K. kids, it's nine o'clock, and you know what that means! Daddy's sick of looking at you, so go to bed!<br />
*'''Fry''': But you're better than normal, Leela; you're ''ab''normal!<br />
<br />
===Alien Language Sightings===<br />
'''Time''': 09:05<br /><br />
'''Location''': In the window of a shop.<br /><br />
'''Language''': [[Alien Languages#AL1|AL1]]<br /><br />
'''Translation''': humane human traps<br />
<br />
===Outside References===<br />
*The scene in the hospital where the blonde woman is revealed is a reference to the Twilight Zone episode "[[Wikipedia:The Eye of the Beholder|The Eye of the Beholder]]" in which a woman undergoes unsuccessful treatments to attempt to make her appear "normal". The end of the episode reveals that (to her horror) she has an appearance we would consider very attractive, while the rest of the population looks like "monsters".<br />
*During the "Oh, Pretty Woman" montage, Leela buys an assortment of glasses. The name of the store she bought them at, "Eye Robot", is a refernece to one of Isaac Asimov's collection of stories, homophonously named "I, Robot".<br />
<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*Although the Professor says "And Fry, you've got that brain thing," if he's referring to Fry's lack of the Delta Brain Wave, it's actually impossible for the professor to have known about that.<br />
**More specifically, he can't have learned it the way viewers did, but as a scientist he may have learned it independently.<br />
**Given the Professor's eccentric nature, it is also possible he isn't referencing the Delta Brain Wave at all, and is simply calling Fry stupid in a very peculiar way.<br />
*At the end, when the children are hugging Bender, it appears he moves while struggling, but closer inspection shows only the children move, while Bender's limbs remain stationary. It's obvious the cel with the children was rotated, while the cel with Bender on it was not animated to match.<br />
*Leela's second eye's pupil moves several times in the episode but during her checkup where she has to follow the pen it doesn't.<br />

==The Story==<br />
===Act I: Little Nibbler's been coughing up hairballs!===<br />
Both [[Nibbler]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] have been coughing up hairballs, though Nibbler seems to have Fry beaten. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] nominates [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] to clean up the mess, but during a vote, Zoidberg is mysteriously silent. Fry declares, "He's dead." But then Zoidberg enters the room, revealing that the "corpse" was in fact Zoidberg's shell, which he moulted after having outgrown it. He picks up the shell and takes it to the dumpser out back. After he leaves, [[Amy Wong|Amy]]'s cell-phone rings. She answers, only to hear incomprehensible mumbling, then the caller hangs up.<br />
<br />
The person on the other end is revealed to be [[Kif Kroker|Lieutenant Kroker]], who has been infatuated with Amy since the incident aboard the [[Titanic]] ([[A Flight to Remember|1ACV10]]). After revealing this to [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]], Zapp realizes that Amy knows [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], whom he is constantly trying to seduce. Zapp contacts Leela and, after a negotiation, sets up half a double-date.<br />
<br />
===Act II: Sir, I don't go out on many dates.===<br />
For the date, they all go to Le Palm d'Orbit, a space-based restaurant with Karaoke. Zapp gives Kif his book of pickup lines, which Kif then reads to Amy attempting to impress her. Unfortunately, lines such as "I find the most erotic part of the woman is the boobies," causes Leela to proclaim the date over. After a brief trip to the bathroom to fix their makeup, they begin storming out but are stopped by Kif's emotional Karaoke performance. Kif's performance, however, is interruped by Zapp's horrible, spoken-word rendition of "Lola" in which he's replaced the name Lola with Leela.<br />
<br />
All the patrons of the resaurant flee Zapp's "singing" in the escape pods. Leela tells Zapp to call them a space-taxi, but he declines, opting instead to fly the restaurant himself despite the objection of Kif. Shortly thereafter, he crashes the ship onto [[Planet Amazonia]].<br />
<br />
===Act III: Where are all the men in your society?===<br />
Back at [[Planet Express]], Zoidberg tries on some shells from his new catalogue. However, his stereotypical portrayal of Mexicans offends [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], who is a Mexican ("Hecho en México"). Zoidberg tries another shell (a breezy summer number), but Hermes informs him that the Planet Express health plan only covers one kind of replacement shell: A plain white one with a bar code across the front.<br />
<br />
Fry is worried that Leela and Amy haven't returned from their half-date, but when he attempts to call the restaurant, he is informed that it has crashed into a planet. He and Bender set off to rescue the se&ntilde;oritas.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Leela is wondering what planet they're on, when Zapp claims the sector is uncharted. The ground begins to pound, and the four hide behind the Karaoke machine. Three [[Amazonians]] emerge from the jungle, and although they assume there's nobody around, Zapp reveals himself before they can leave. Zapp is cut off before he can finish his pickup line, and the four are dragged off into the jungle.<br />
<br />
Fry and Bender land on the planet and find the prisoners being led by a chain. Before they can formulate a plan, they are discovered and captured. The women are set free while the men are kept prisoner. After a short tour of the village, they are taken to the leader of Amazonian society, who will decide their fate. The leader is a [[femputer]] who hates men. The Femputer takes her leave to decide the men's fate.<br />
<br />
The men are chained to the wall of the chamber. The Amazonians ask what men are used for on Earth, and Amy informs them. The Amazonians call this act "snu-snu", and reveal that the last men who visited Amazonia died of crushed pelvises. The Fem-puter returns and sentences the men to death&#8230; by ''snu-snu''.<br />
<br />
===Act IV: Death by snu-snu!===<br />
Leela makes an appeal for her friends, but the Fem-puter is angered by the knowledge that the men made fun of their basketball team. Bender, however, is released on the basis that he's a man''bot'', not a man.<br />
<br />
Zapp is sentenced to be snu-snu'd by the large women; Fry by the petite women; Kif, being the most attractive, by the most beautiful women, followed by the large women, then the petite women, then the large women again. Before the punishment commences, Kif reveals that the things he said on the date were Zapp's idea, and that he was the one calling and hanging up. He tells Amy that he loves her.<br />
<br />
The men are taken into the snu-snu chambers, and Leela tells Bender to interface with the Femputer to rescue the men from their fate.<br />
<br />
===Act V: Where go beautiful man?===<br />
Bender sneaks past the guards, who are engaged in a debate about which of them is fat. While overriding the CPU with a lead pipe, a panel on the Fem-puter falls open, revealing that there is a fembot operating the Femputer. The fembot tells Bender that she disguised herself to rule the Amazonians, because of her oppression on her homeworld, which was ruled by a manputer that was really a manbot.<br />
<br />
In the snu-snu chambers, the punishment continues, and Leela decides that Bender is taking too long. She fruitlessly attacks each Amazonian, but one of them grabs her, throws her down, and sits on her. Amy, meanwhile, has disguised herself to infiltrate the snu-snu chamber containing Kif, and absconds with him. However, she is cornered in the Femputer chamber, where the Femputer orders the Amazonians to release all the prisoners (and demands gold, somehow in Bender's voice).<br />
<br />
Back at Planet Express, Zoidberg has found a new shell. This one looks just like his old one, and he found it in the same dumpster. This one had a racoon inside, though. Fry and Zapp are in pelvic casts, apparently having suffered at least partially crushed pelvises. Kif probably avoided this fate due to the fact that his kind don't have bones. Kif asks Amy what she'd like to do, and she whispers something in his ear. His response is flustered, incomprehensible mumbling.<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*Sign at Le Palm D'Orbit lobby reads "Palm D'Orbit Coat Check 25 cent Surcharge Each Sleeve Over 9". The centipede walking away from the coat check has 14 sleeves on his shirt, but may have more on his coat. This means he paid at least $1.25 extra on his coat check.<br />
*Kif has a bouquet of daffodils, maintaining the daffodil's lead of most popular Futurama flower.<br />
*Zapp's spoken-word performance of 'Leela' is a reference to William Shatner's spoken-word versions (most notably Rocketman) of many popular songs (as well as many original songs). He also refers to himself as the Velour Fog, a play on Mel Torme's nickname, the Velvet Fog.<br />
*Songs performed on the Karaoke:<br />
** ''[[wikipedia:Funky Town|Funky Town]]'' by ''Lipps Inc.'' performed by [[Morbo]]<br />
** ''[[wikipedia:Total Eclipse of the Heart|Total Eclipse of the Heart]]'' by ''Bonnie Tyler'' performed by Kif.<br />
** Zapp's version of ''[[wikipedia:Lola (song)|Lola]]'' by ''the Kinks''.<br />
*This is the #1 episode on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p3.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*Even though Amy's parents introduced Amy to Kif, they never seemed to accept him in later on episodes.<br />
<br />
===Quotes===<br />
*'''Leela''': Guys who call too much are the worst...I bet...<br />
*'''Kiff''': If I said you have a beautiful body, would you take your pants off and dance around a little?<br />
*'''Zapp''': She's built like a steak house, but she handles like a Bistro.<br />
*'''Zapp''': ''(as the flying restaurant is about to crash)'' You win again, gravity!<br />
*'''Fry''': We have to go save them.<br/> '''Bender''': Nah, why bother?<br/> '''Fry''': Bender, think of the senoritas!<br/> '''Bender''': Vamonos!<br />
*'''Zapp''': (Laughing) Ooh God, you're killing me. (Getting beaten up) Ooh God, you're killing me!<br />
*'''Amazon woman''': Men die out many years ago.<br/> '''Bender''': With all these women around they probably got nagged to death.<br />
<br />
===Inside References===<br />
*Kif and Amy's relationship began when Amy's parents introduced Amy to Kif as they were abandoning ship when the [[Titanic]] was going down. ([[A Flight to Remember|1ACV10]])<br />
*During the flashback to the Titanic trip, Bender can be seen in the background, throwing away the bracelet he got from the Countess, which Hermes revealed was fake. ([[A Flight to Remember|1ACV10]])<br />
*The first Amazonian was seen as a representative in the [[Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP)|DOOP]]. ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]])<br />

<br />
===Act I: Awesome! Awesome to the max!===<br />
[[Planet Express]]' stockholder meeting is taking place at the [[New New York#Lodgatorium Comfort Dome Inn|Lodgatorium Comfort Dome Inn]], and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] get hungry and visit the [[Religion#Bot-Mizwah|Bot-Mizwah]] next door to get some free food. Zoidberg must stay out (no shellfish). [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] tells the stockholders of Planet Express that the company is on the verge of bancrupcy, while Fry and Zoidberg move on to a Cryogenic Support Group which also offers free food. <br />
There Fry meets [[That Guy]], a 1980's stockbroker who had himself frozen until a cure to his terminal disease, [[boneitis]], could be found. Feeling compassion for a fellow person from the 20th century, Fry invites him to work for Planet Express, and they return to the stockholder meeting where [[Hattie McDoogal]] is demanding to nominate a new CEO because the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] has insulted her cat. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], Bender, Amy, Hermes and the Professor (10,000 shares each) vote for Farnsworth, while Fry (10,000 shares) and [[Scruffy]] (40,000 shares) vote for That Guy. Now Hattie (1 share) demands the floor and votes for That Guy, making him the new CEO of Planet Express.<br />
<br />
===Act II: Miss Johnson, have I changed? - No Sir, Mr. Fry!===<br />
That Guy is turning Planet Express upside down and blaming everything on the old management, that is, the Professor. He makes Fry his vice-chairman and intends to bring Planet Express right to the top of the delivery business, which means that they have to attack ''[[Mom]]'s Friendly Delivery Company''. Of course, Mom is not amused to learn this. That Guy follows his secret of success, which is that everything is about appearances, and gives Planet Express a completely new look and a completely new image. Zoidberg is not happy about the company's development, and sells all his shares to That Guy for a sandwich. Mom is getting agitated about the new "Delivery Kings" that business magazines write about so much (even if PlanEx hasn't made even one single delivery since the takeover), and has a private meeting with That Guy after they have a talk at [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]]. As the crew is voicing their concerns about the way That Guy is handling business, and Fry is defending him, That Guy tells them they are all fired and that Mom is going to take over Planet Express.<br />
<br />
===Act III: My only regret is... that I have... boneitis.===<br />
Fry insists that he is innocent of the selling of the company, but no one listens to him. He decides to block the takeover, and goes to the [[Intergalactic Stock Exchange]] in [[Earth]]s orbit where the takeover is to take place in the Business Centre. All of PlanEx's stockholders are there, plus Mom, [[Walt, Larry and Igner|her three sons]] and That Guy. Both companies have to agree to the takeover, and even though all of the Planet Express crew vote against it, it turns out that the shares Zoidberg sold to That Guy gave him majority control. The takeover is approved, and [[MomCorp]] now wants to buy all the shares it doesn't own at the price of 107 $ per share, which makes every remaining stockholder a millionaire. Fry asks That Guy if he will not stop the takeover, but he refuses because he's an 80's guy. Just then, That Guy realizes that he forgot to get his boneitis cured, and dies horribly on the spot. After his death, Fry now has control of his shares and gives control of the company back to the Professor. The crew tries to stop him doing the right thing, but it is too late - the shares of Planet Express are, once again, worthless and the takeover has been stopped. The crew grudgingly goes back to work.<br />

<br />
===Allusions===<br />
*The PlanEx logo in the commercial looks a lot like the ''FedEx'' logo.<br />
*The PlanEx commercial is a parody of that of Apple Computers in 1984. And the fact that the crew hates the commercial is a reference to Apple Computers' own opinion of the commercial which only aired once; during the Super Bowl.<br />
*During the voting for the future of Planet Express--with the option of two buttons, one in favour, the other opposed--Mom's son Igner is confused and inexplicably registers a vote for "[[wikipedia:Pat Buchanan|Pat Buchanan]]", in reference to the infamous Florida voting controversy of the 2000 U.S. Presidential election. With everyone staring angrily at Igner, he says in his defence "the ballot was confusing," thus making fun of the Election even more.<br />
*In the scene where "That Guy" and Fry are watching an ape fight, [[Calculon]] is struck by an oversize tricycle hurled from the ring. His angry "Get your stinkin' trike off me, you damn dirty ape!" is an obvious parody of George Taylor's line "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!" from the 1968 film ''[[wikipedia:Planet of the Apes|Planet of the Apes]]''.<br />
*The stock exchange space station shows stock abbreviations including RUN and DMC (in reference to hip-hop group [[Wikipedia:Run-D.M.C.|Run-D.M.C.]]), [[Wikipedia:James T. Kirk|KIRK]], [[Wikipedia:Gorn|GORN]], and [[Wikipedia:Q (Star Trek)|Q]] (Star Trek references), and FOX ([[20th Century Fox]], the producer of ''[[Futurama]]''), the last showing a loss of 61 points. OSX and WIN also appears (references to [[wikipedia:Mac OS X|Mac OS X]] and [[wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]] respectively, interestingly, OSX have gone up, while WIN have gone down).<br />
*The station's appearance, as well as a waltz playing on the soundtrack, is a reference to a similar scene in the film [[wikipedia:2001: A Space Odyssey (film)|2001: A Space Odyssey]]. The exchange's giant-image holographic public-address system ("I am Jor-El, Master of Scheduling!") is a reference to a scene in the 1978 Superman film, featuring a character named Jor-El and a tribunal of larger-than-life projected faces.<br />
*"That Guy" had a Miami Vice lunchbox.<br />
*A stock broker robot orders to "Sell one hundred soylent beans!", referring to the movie [[Soylent Products|Soylent Green]].<br />
*That Guy says that this company (Planet Express) is gonna get up and stay up like [[wikipedia:Cyndi Lauper|Cyndi Lauper]] which is a reference to Lauper's great popularity in the 80's, That Guy's time span, and decline after the 90's.<br />
*When That Guy is about to sell Planet Express he says "It's Hammertime" a catchphrase inspired by another popular 80's musician, [[wikipedia:MC Hammer|MC Hammer]].<br />
*Amy asks "Look, everyone wants to be like Germany, but do we really have the pure strength of will?", a reference to the 1934 Nazi propaganda film [[wikipedia:Triumph of the Will|Triumph of the Will]].<br />
*The shop where Fry and That Guy buy their tuxeedos is called ''Giorgio Armonster'', a reference to fine clothes and perfume shop ''[[wikipedia:Giorgio Armani|Giorgio Armani]]''.<br />
*Scruffy reads the ''National Pornographic'' which looks a lot like a ''National Geographic'' publication.<br />
*The businessman from the 1980s is loosely based on the character of Gordon Gekko from the movie ''Wall Street''. In turn, Gekko was modelled after real world corporate raider Ivan Boesky. That Guy's real name in the scripts was Steve Castle.<br />
*That Guy's plan to boost PlanEx's "image" in order to sell the worthless company that does nothing's stocks off at exorbitant prices is a direct satire of the Enron scandal.<br />
