'''Antonio Calculon, Jr.''' was the son of [[Sleazy Martinez]], one of [[Calculon (All My Circuits)|Calculon]]'s twin brothers, and [[Monique]]. Antonio, after a case of amnesia, learned his mother's shocking secret. The secret, his true father, was not revealed as the original actor broke and the replacement wasn't a good actor, causing Antonio to fall into a permanent coma. The [[Bender (All My Circuits)|Bender]] character was created as a result of this poor casting decision and [[Calculon]]'s refusal to re-film a scene.<br />

Sleazy Martinez is a character on the hit robot television show [[All My Circuits]], although he never acctualy appears he is mentioned to be [[Calculon]]'s fourth evil identical septuplet.<br />
He is the father of [[Antonio Calculon, Jr.]], meaning that at some point him and [[Monique]] had an affair. Its possible that he is involved in some sort of crime, hence the name '''''Sleazy''''' Martinez.<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 27 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 />

'''Farnsworth''': Oh I never knew how much I'd miss him until he was gone. Not that much as it turns out.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Thus sayeth the tentacle, "Verily, thou shalt rejoice in the house of the tentacle."<br />
'''Leela''': Fry listen to yourself. You've been brainwashed.<br />
'''Fry''': No, I'm just trying to fit my diction to the importance of what I'm saying.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': No effect. The crystals are bouncing off the tentacle like meatballs off Mothra.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': According to this blinking light the tentacle is made of electro-matter, matter's bad-ass grandma!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Wernstrom''': Stop, in the name of love!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': At least I won't have to trim my elbow talons anymore.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''' It's ok to cry Amy. Come here, I'm wearing absorbent shoulder straps.<br />

<poem>'''Zapp Brannigan''': Leela, you must try the tentacle. It's like my soul is wearing a velour body glove.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': But Yivo has no gender, thus Yivo must be proclaimed that instead of "he" or "she," we are to use the word "shklee." And instead of "him" or "her," we are to use the word "shklim," or "shkler."<br />
'''Hermes''': Phew! I've been sweating the nomenclature all week.</poem><br />

==General Trivia==<br />
*The title is a reference to Shakespeare's line "I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs." in the play Othello (however, use of the phrase dates back before this usage). In "[[Spanish Fry]]", the sex shop in which Fry, Bender and Leela enter is called "The Beast with Two Bucks", which is a reference to the same line.<br />
*It also references [http://www.1000misspenthours.com/reviews/reviewsa-d/beastwithamillioneyes.htm The Beast With a Million Eyes]. Incidentally plot of that movie involves a huge alien mind controlling the weak minded, albeit to fuel hatred rather than coerce the world into having sex with it. The movie came out in 1955, and the box art for The Beast With a Billion Backs is modelled after 1950's horror movies involving monsters.<br />
*A sneak peek was included in a two disc DVD of ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' exclusive to ''[[wikipedia:Best Buy|Best Buy]]''.<br />
*The official trailer (in colour) has been released and can be watched at [http://slurmed.com/?p=news&date=2008/05/19 slurmed.com].<br />
*Fry called DIAL-A-JOKE from Colleen's Apartment a total of 8128 times.<br />
*The end credits show the actor's name, together with an array of pictures of the characters they voiced. This is similar to The Simpsons Movie.<br />
*The video track used for the movie is only greater in length than the track used in Bender's Big Score by one second (although is is probably a wild coincidence).<br />
*In the Prison/Prism rooftop scene, at the start, Stephen Hawking's pickled head can again be seen toward the left. It is on the same "way cool rocket."<br />
*This is the first time in the series that the [[Globetrotter Homeworld]] is seen.<br />
**Noticibly, there are no female Globetrotters seen leaving it, implying either that they don't exist, or that they left in a separate group from the male ones.<br />
*Although we are to presume that all inhabitants of Earth other than the robots were gentacled by Yivo, we do not see any attached to heads inside of jars, or the sewer mutants.<br />
**In fact, while most of the previous species seen in Futurama make an appearance in this film, the [[Sewer Mutants]] (apart from [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]) do not appear in the film.<br />
*Noticibly, Yivo was able to "mate" with [[Decapodians]] without causing them to suffer gruesome death.<br />
*This is the first time in the series that we ever see [[Morbo]], in any sort of frightened state. [[Linda]] was previously seen as such in {{e|59}}<br />
*Yivo apparently gave every being in Universe A/Gamma "the clap", except Leela.<br />
*Leela managed to break a prison/prism guard's neck without getting caught.<br />
*Suicide booths have advanced since the pilot. They now have a broader range of choices other than "quick and painless" or "slow and horrible"<br />
**This was alluded to in {{f|1}}, it is now confirmed.<br />
*A picture of Robot from the TV series "Lost in Space" can be seen in the secret hideout of the [[League of Robots]], as well as Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet.<br />
*This is the first time we ever see the [[Australian Guy]] in a non-enslaved situation.<br />
*If Yivo can't breathe in our universe, that means shklee needs to produce a gas made of electromatter. It is debatable whether our lungs could break down air made of electromatter, although no man made object in the 31st century can do so, it does not mean nothing in our biology could. We could also surmise Yivo produces normal oxygen for us.<br />
*A 2D gentacle prop can be seen in the 2D Tunnel of Love. [[Image:Yivo Tunnel Of Love.jpg|right|thumb|4th wall break?]]<br />
*The one small piece of Electromatter couldn't have been split into enough pieces for all the harpoons and weapons of the [[Army of the Damned]]. However it could have been several letters instead of one.<br />
*After Yivo is pulled through the anomaly, the [[jakabird]]s disappear, possibly went into hiding.<br />
*The audio commentary of this movie introduced the 'I had that in the navy' running joke that is also mentioned in the [[Bender's Game]] and [[Into the Wild Green Yonder]] audio commentaries.<br />
<br />
==Allusions==<br />
*Red Minotaur, alludes to [[wikipedia:Red Bull|Red Bull]], an existing energy drink.<br />
*Normal Kombat is a reference to [[wikipedia:mortal kombat|Mortal Kombat]].<br />
*Honkey Kong is a reference to [[Donkey Kong]].<br />
*Ms. Marple Madness is a reference to both Ms. Marple and Marble Madness.<br />
*Exlaxian references Exlax, a laxative, and Galaxian, an old arcade game.<br />
*Soup bootlegging during soup prohibition refers to alcohol bootlegging during alcohol prohibition.<br />
**Bathtub minestrone refers to bathtub gin, which was actually any alcoholic beverage made in people's homes during prohibition, usually, as one might guess, in the bathtub. Most often it was just 1 part alcohol and 2 parts water.<br />
*Bender takes off his hand and hits [[Calculon]] with it to invoke a duel. This is an allusion to a very old way of invoking duels where the challenger would slap the challengee with a glove.<br />
*The scene at the end with Bender battling Yivo's mouth references [[wikipedia:jack sparrow|Jack Sparrow]] battling the [[wikipedia:Kraken (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Kraken]] at the end of [[wikipedia:Potc 2|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest]].<br />
*Bender says that he is "Worthier than the average robot" to join the League of Robots. This is a very obvious reference to ''[[wikipedia:Yogi Bear|Yogi Bear]]'', who often said that he was "Smarter than the average bear". He even does the same pose that Yogi makes whenever he says that.<br />
*[[Harold Zoid]] talks about his one line in a DVD movie, referencing his own line in this DVD movie.<br />
**"Shell phone" also references cell phones.<br />
*When Yivo escapes out of the anomaly, Mayor Poopenmeyer says, "Look, up in the sky!", to which Hermes says, "It's a bird!", then Hattie says, "It's a plane!", and a superhero says, "I am so outta here!!!" This is a spoof of the old [[wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] cartoons made by Max Fleischer that always opened with the phrase "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"<br />
*During Kif's funeral, [[The Grand Midwife]] starts to sing, and Bender yells, "Next!". This is a reference to most reality music shows.<br />
<br />
==Continuity==<br />
*[[Steve Castle]] can be seen towards the beginning of Yivo's invasion, despite having presumably died of Bone-itus. This may not be a goof however, as we may presume that he was revived, cloned, or that it's his descendant.<br />
*The characters in Normal Kombat are orange and purple, representing Fry and Leela respectively. The symbolism of these colours is a continuing theme of the series.<br />
*Bender twangs his antenna/penis on Amphibos 9, a running gag in the series.<br />
**Another running gag involving Bender, where he says "neat" and takes a picture also shows up. It's in the scene with Calculon's plastic surgery. Noticeably it was a different colour (green instead of purple)<br />
<br />
==Goofs==<br />
[[Image:BWABB Goof- Mirror Earth.png|right|thumb|Notice Europe on the left, and the Americas on the right.]]<br />
*When the [[Earth]]'s protection is being built, the Earth is mirrored.<br />
*During Deathball, when Wernstrom is knocked by the ball through the control room he lands back onto the arena. The next shot both Wernstrom's and the Professor's outlines can be seen in the control room and the glass is not broken.<br />
*Due to the nature of the [[Anomaly]], machinery and/or metals cannot pass through it. However, when [[Fry]] travels through the Anomaly for the first time, his space suit neither causes a reaction nor is it destroyed by it; his suit is ''clearly'' mechanical.<br />
** Lightning does strike it once he's through the anomaly, which could be considered the reaction.<br />
*[[Hedonism Bot|Hedonism Bot's]] mouth changes throughout the movie from just showing his "teeth" to showing his "teeth" and two lines across them like Bender.<br />
*Twice in the movie, the unnamed British robot changes from brown to grey. Although this may have been a trick of the light.<br />
*At the end, Fry calls [[Yivo]] "he" instead of "[[Coinage#S|shklee]]"<br />
*In the space battle scene, Yivo had supposedly already invaded both [[Mars]] and [[Decapod 10]], but yet we don't see the tentacles stretching anywhere near that far.<br />
**One plausible explanation for this, is that there are several anomalies throughout the universe, although this is neither confirmed nor hinted at in the film.<br />
*Amy asserts that [[Kif]] tried to kill Yivo, despite Yivo not being particularly known about until after Kif's funeral. Although we can attribute this to Amy being a ditz or overly grief stricken, it was not an intentional error.<br />
*In real life, the golden escalators, at the speed they went, would take 100's of 1000's of years, if not millions, to carry the residents of [[Earth]] (the ones closest to the [[anomaly]]) to Yivo's location.<br />
*In the vacuum of space, Kif manages not only to breath, but to speak to Fry. Both of these things are impossible as there is no air to breath or transmit the sound.<br />
**It is possible, though, that Kif's species, being amphibious, can hold their breath for a long time, though it doesn't explain how he can communicate with Fry.<br />
*Yivo claims not to have hurt anyone, although the space battle scene indicates otherwise. At least one ship is seen being destroyed, and the computer screen in the oval office indicates a lot more were as well.<br />
**It is possible, but unlikely, that they were all being remote controlled like the [[Nimbus]].<br />
***It is also possible that Yivo rescued any soldiers who's ship was destroyed.<br />
*While on Yivo/heaven, Zoidberg is seen playing on the bouncing "clouds" (on the left of the screen), but then he comes on the right side of the screen, with ice cream.<br />
*Surely the entire population of a Universe could not have fit on one planet-sized monster, let alone one pirate ship.<br />
**It can be surmised that Yivo can expand shkler body size much like shkler tentacles, even so however, the size shklee was at the point shklee was dragged through the anomaly was not sufficient.<br />
**Though "planet-size" is very ambiguous, because it is basically anything from Neptune and upwards. In addition, it should be noted, that all humans ever lived today could all fit in the [[wikipedia:Isle of Man|Isle of Man]].<br />
*When the fumes on Yivo clear away, we see that Yivo's mouth is beak shaped, but it could not have been evenly covered underneath one normal looking mouth.<br />
*When meeting Yivo's body for the second time, Fry looks surprised to see Yivo's actual face. However, when he fell in love with shkler, he must have already seen shkler face.<br />
*Leela's [[Wristlojackimator]] made it through the anomaly undamaged.<br />
*If lab animals were stored in a 55 gallon drum like in the film, they would suffocate and (unless eating the other lab animals) starve, perhaps the one [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]] used is a life preserving one.<br />
*When Yivo was stabbed by Benders cables, Zapp's hair turned orange during a high angle camera view.<br />
*[[Diamondillium]] could not hold up against Yivo's tentacles, but the windows and walls of the Planet Express Building did. <br />
**However, the windows could be made of [[Diamondium]], meaning it may actually be stronger than Diamondillium.<br />
**Or Yivo's Gentacles are not as strong as shklis tentacles are. However if this were the case, we'd be left to wonder why shkle didn't use shklis tentacles to break in.<br />
**However, even if it was Diamondium, the Professor stated that the tentacles was made of electro-matter, so the windows would still be unable to withstand it. The more likely scenario is that Yivo wasn't trying to break it.<br />
*Strangely, in the 64 shot scene at the end of Earth's date with Yivo, Zoidberg is seen with a house, yet in many previous episodes, he says or implies that he doesn't have a house.<br />
*While Yivo/Fry meet with the crew at the window, behind Fry there seems to be no atmosphere behind the broken Diamondillium. And in one scene there is no broken Diamondillium.<br />
*In the scene where Fry has his hand in the Anomaly just before he turns his head to see Kif, Fry's reflection in the Anomaly moves before he does. Also while the missile is overlapping Fry's legs both the missile and Kiff have no reflection.<br />
*Yivo said that before he saw the creation of universe Gamma, he was alone, but he also said he was content with his stamp collection. However, if he was alone, there would be no-one to send him anything with stamps on it.<br />
*The [[Anomaly]] flips sides various times.</div>Drelfhttp://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Bender_Bending_Rodriguez&diff=41478Bender Bending Rodriguez2009-04-13T21:18:10Z<p>Drelf: </p>

'''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 />

<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 />
===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 have magnets attached to his head, 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 has named his hands "Grabby and Squeezy," and his footcups "Stompy and Smashy."<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 />
*His vanity plate reads “1 DVS BSTD” (one devious bastard).<br />
*He said the last full sentence in all 4 films - "Well, we're boned" (Benders Big Score), "My fellow meatbags, there is no true love without true jealously" (The Beast with a Billion Backs), "Whip harder, Professor!" (Benders Game), "Into the breach, meatbags. Or not, whatever" (Into the Wild Green Yonder)<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 />
*40% Lead ([[Futurama (video game)]])<br />
*40% Luck/horseshoes ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ItWGY]])<br />
Total: (greater than) 230%.<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 />
===Assets===<br />
Bender has, over the years gained many assets and ranks in various organizations and a large amount of wealth. Some of these include:<br />
<br />
*Server as Prime Minister of [[Trisol]] under the brief rule of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry the Solid]] (possibly terminated when the old emperor came back into power)<br />
*A castle, inherited from his uncle<br />
*Leader of the [[League of Robots]]<br />
*Commander of the [[Army of the Damned]]<br />
*[[Iron Cook]], on the television show of the same name<br />
*The [[Dirty Double Cross]], Earth's highest honor in swindling<br />
*Calculon's official stalker (possibly fired when he maimed Calculon during a duel)<br />
*Spy for the [[DOOP]]<br />
*An enormous amount of wealth from various crimes<br />
<br />

The '''Mobile Oppression Palace''' was a creation of the enslaved human race after the interplantary incident created by [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] on [[Freedom Day]] in 3002. He sought sanctuary at the [[Decapodian Embassy]]. The [[Decapodians]] were so outraged, they sent a fleet of ships and enslaved all of [[Earth]]. Using mankind as slave labour, they managed to build the Mobile Oppression Palace. This seemed certain to cement their grip on Earth, but Zoidberg had a change of heart at the last minute and helped destroy the Palace.<br />
<br />
The Mobile Oppression Palace was capable of avoiding detectionm by heat-seeking missiles because all Decapodian technology is cold-blooded.<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 />

==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 />

<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 have magnets attached to his head, 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 has named his hands "Grabby and Squeezy," and his footcups "Stompy and Smashy."<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 />
*His vanity plate reads “1 DVS BSTD” (one devious bastard).<br />
*He said the last full sentence in all 4 films - "Well, we're boned" (Benders Big Score), "My fellow meatbags, there is no true love without true jealously" (The Beast with a Billion Backs), "Whip harder, Professor!" (Benders Game), "Into the breach, meatbags. Or not, whatever" (Into the Wild Green Yonder)<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 />
*40% Lead ([[Futurama (video game)]])<br />
*40% Luck/horseshoes ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ItWGY]])<br />
Total: (greater than) 230%.<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 />
===Assets===<br />
Bender has, over the years gained many assets and ranks in various organizations and a large amount of wealth. Some of these include:<br />
<br />
*A castle, inheirited from his uncle<br />
*Leader of the [[League of Robots]]<br />
*Commander of the [[Army of the Damned]]<br />
*Iron Cook, on the television show of the same name<br />
*The Dirty Double Cross, Earth's highest honor in swindling<br />
*Calculons offical stalker (possibly fired when he maimed Calculon during a duel)<br />
*Spy for the [[DOOP]]<br />
*An enormous amount of wealth from various crimes<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 />

==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 />
<br />
==Family==<br />
[[Image:Bender's Xmas 2.jpg|right|thumb|Bender's Mommy]]<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 />

<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 have magnets attached to his head, 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 has named his hands "Grabby and Squeezy," and his footcups "Stompy and Smashy."<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 />
*His vanity plate reads “1 DVS BSTD” (one devious bastard).<br />
*He said the last full sentence in all 4 films - "Well, we're boned" (Benders Big Score), "My fellow meatbags, there is no true love without true jealously" (The Beast with a Billion Backs), "Whip harder, Professor!" (Benders Game), "Into the breach, meatbags. Or not, whatever" (Into the Wild Green Yonder)<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 />
*40% Lead ([[Futurama (video game)]])<br />
*40% Luck/horseshoes ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ItWGY]])<br />
Total: (greater than) 230%.<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 />
===Assets===<br />
Bender has, over the years gained many assets and ranks in various organizations and a large amount of wealth. Some of these include:<br />
<br />
*A castle, inheirited from his uncle<br />
*Leader of the [[League of Robots]]<br />
*Commander of the [[Army of the Damned]]<br />
*Iron Cook, on the television show of the same name<br />
*The Dirty Double Cross, Earth's highest honor in swindling<br />
*Calculons offical stalker (possibly fired when he neary killed Calculon)<br />
*Spy for the [[DOOP]]<br />
*An enormous amount of wealth from various crimes<br />
<br />

[[Image:Nimbus2.jpg|left|thumb|BP-[[1729]]]]<br />
The '''Nimbus''' (registry BP-[[1729]]) is the flagship of the [[Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP)|DOOP]] fleet, which docks at the [[South Street Spaceport]]. In command of this impressive vessel is the equally impressive 25-Star-General [[Zapp Brannigan]]. This massive vessel has enough firepower to blow up a large space-station ([[Brannigan, Begin Again|2ACV02]]), and is capable of entering a planet's atmosphere to deploy troops to the surface ([[War is the H-Word|2ACV17]]). It is also equipped with a [[Holo-Shed]] ([[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch|4ACV01]]), where the crew can rest and relax between suicide missions. The ships most powerful weapon, the [[Universe to Universe Missile]](U.U.M.) is capable of destroying entire universes.<br />
<br />
The Nimbus looks like a cross between the mouth of a shark and a can of ham, and has fourteen decks ([[A Taste of Freedom|4ACV05]]). The ship was severely damaged by the [[Decapodian]]s when [[Earth]] and [[Decapod 10]] were at war, but was later repaired and rescued the [[Planet Express]] crew from an energy being&mdash;by arresting them. ([[Where No Fan has Gone Before|4ACV11]]) During 3007, the Nimbus was struck and fell towards Earth, though it was again repaired.<br />

==General Trivia==<br />
*The title is a reference to Shakespeare's line "I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs." in the play Othello (however, use of the phrase dates back before this usage). In "[[Spanish Fry]]", the sex shop in which Fry, Bender and Leela enter is called "The Beast with Two Bucks", which is a reference to the same line.<br />
*It also references [http://www.1000misspenthours.com/reviews/reviewsa-d/beastwithamillioneyes.htm The Beast With a Million Eyes]. Incidentally plot of that movie involves a huge alien mind controlling the weak minded, albeit to fuel hatred rather than coerce the world into having sex with it. The movie came out in 1955, and the box art for The Beast With a Billion Backs is modelled after 1950's horror movies involving monsters.<br />
*A sneak peek was included in a two disc DVD of ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' exclusive to ''[[wikipedia:Best Buy|Best Buy]]''.<br />
*The official trailer (in colour) has been released and can be watched at [http://slurmed.com/?p=news&date=2008/05/19 slurmed.com].<br />
*Fry called DIAL-A-JOKE from Colleen's Apartment a total of 8128 times.<br />
*The end credits show the actor's name, together with an array of pictures of the characters they voiced. This is similar to The Simpsons Movie.<br />
*The video track used for the movie is only greater in length than the track used in Bender's Big Score by one second (although is is probably a wild coincidence).<br />
*In the Prison/Prism rooftop scene, at the start, Stephen Hawking's pickled head can again be seen toward the left. It is on the same "way cool rocket."<br />
*This is the first time in the series that the [[Globetrotter Homeworld]] is seen.<br />
**Noticibly, there are no female Globetrotters seen leaving it, implying either that they don't exist, or that they left in a separate group from the male ones.<br />
*Although we are to presume that all inhabitants of Earth other than the robots were gentacled by Yivo, we do not see any attached to heads inside of jars, or the sewer mutants.<br />
**In fact, while most of the previous species seen in Futurama make an appearance in this film, the [[Sewer Mutants]] (apart from [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]) do not appear in the film.<br />
*Noticibly, Yivo was able to "mate" with [[Decapodians]] without causing them to suffer gruesome death.<br />
*This is the first time in the series that we ever see [[Morbo]], in any sort of frightened state. [[Linda]] was previously seen as such in {{e|59}}<br />
*Yivo apparently gave every being in Universe A/Gamma "the clap", except Leela.<br />
*Leela managed to break a prison/prism guard's neck without getting caught.<br />
*Suicide booths have advanced since the pilot. They now have a broader range of choices other than "quick and painless" or "slow and horrible"<br />
**This was alluded to in {{f|1}}, it is now confirmed.<br />
*A picture of Robot from the TV series "Lost in Space" can be seen in the secret hideout of the [[League of Robots]], as well as Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet.<br />
*This is the first time we ever see the [[Australian Guy]] in a non-enslaved situation.<br />
*If Yivo can't breathe in our universe, that means shklee needs to produce a gas made of electromatter. It is debatable whether our lungs could break down air made of electromatter, although no man made object in the 31st century can do so, it does not mean nothing in our biology could. We could also surmise Yivo produces normal oxygen for us.<br />
*A 2D gentacle prop can be seen in the 2D Tunnel of Love. [[Image:Yivo Tunnel Of Love.jpg|right|thumb|4th wall break?]]<br />
*The one small piece of Electromatter couldn't have been split into enough pieces for all the harpoons and weapons of the [[Army of the Damned]]. However it could have been several letters instead of one.<br />
*After Yivo is pulled through the anomaly, the [[jakabird]]s disappear, possibly went into hiding.<br />
*The audio commentary of this movie introduced the 'I had that in the navy' running joke that is also mentioned in the [[Bender's Game]] and [[Into the Wild Green Yonder]] audio commentaries.<br />
<br />
==Allusions==<br />
*Red Minotaur, alludes to [[wikipedia:Red Bull|Red Bull]], an existing energy drink.<br />
*Normal Kombat is a reference to [[wikipedia:mortal kombat|Mortal Kombat]].<br />
*Honkey Kong is a reference to [[Donkey Kong]].<br />
*Ms. Marple Madness is a reference to both Ms. Marple and Marble Madness.<br />
*Exlaxian references Exlax, a laxative, and Galaxian, an old arcade game.<br />
*Soup bootlegging during soup prohibition refers to alcohol bootlegging during alcohol prohibition.<br />
**Bathtub minestrone refers to bathtub gin, which was actually any alcoholic beverage made in people's homes during prohibition, usually, as one might guess, in the bathtub. Most often it was just 1 part alcohol and 2 parts water.<br />
*Bender takes off his hand and hits [[Calculon]] with it to invoke a duel. This is an allusion to a very old way of invoking duels where the challenger would slap the challengee with a glove.<br />
*The scene at the end with Bender battling Yivo's mouth references [[wikipedia:jack sparrow|Jack Sparrow]] battling the [[wikipedia:Kraken (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Kraken]] at the end of [[wikipedia:Potc 2|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest]].<br />
*Bender says that he is "Worthier than the average robot" to join the League of Robots. This is a very obvious reference to ''[[wikipedia:Yogi Bear|Yogi Bear]]'', who often said that he was "Smarter than the average bear". He even does the same pose that Yogi makes whenever he says that.<br />
*[[Harold Zoid]] talks about his one line in a DVD movie, referencing his own line in this DVD movie.<br />
**"Shell phone" also references cell phones.<br />
*When Yivo escapes out of the anomaly, Mayor Poopenmeyer says, "Look, up in the sky!", to which Hermes says, "It's a bird!", then Hattie says, "It's a plane!", and a superhero says, "I am so outta here!!!" This is a spoof of the old [[wikipedia:Superman|Superman]] cartoons made by Max Fleischer that always opened with the phrase "Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"<br />
*During Kif's funeral, [[The Grand Midwife]] starts to sing, and Bender yells, "Next!". This is a reference to most reality music shows.<br />
<br />
==Continuity==<br />
*[[Steve Castle]] can be seen towards the beginning of Yivo's invasion, despite having presumably died of Bone-itus. This may not be a goof however, as we may presume that he was revived, cloned, or that it's his descendant.<br />
*The characters in Normal Kombat are orange and purple, representing Fry and Leela respectively. The symbolism of these colours is a continuing theme of the series.<br />
*Bender twangs his antenna/penis on Amphibos 9, a running gag in the series.<br />
**Another running gag involving Bender, where he says "neat" and takes a picture also shows up. It's in the scene with Calculon's plastic surgery. Noticeably it was a different colour (green instead of purple)<br />
<br />
==Goofs==<br />
[[Image:BWABB Goof- Mirror Earth.png|right|thumb|Notice Europe on the left, and the Americas on the right.]]<br />
*When the [[Earth]]'s protection is being built, the Earth is mirrored.<br />
*During Deathball, when Wernstrom is knocked by the ball through the control room he lands back onto the arena. The next shot both Wernstrom's and the Professor's outlines can be seen in the control room and the glass is not broken.<br />
*Due to the nature of the [[Anomaly]], machinery and/or metals cannot pass through it. However, when [[Fry]] travels through the Anomaly for the first time, his space suit neither causes a reaction nor is it destroyed by it; his suit is ''clearly'' mechanical.<br />
** Lightning does strike it once he's through the anomaly, which could be considered the reaction.<br />
*[[Hedonism Bot|Hedonism Bot's]] mouth changes throughout the movie from just showing his "teeth" to showing his "teeth" and two lines across them like Bender.<br />
*Twice in the movie, the unnamed British robot changes from brown to grey. Although this may have been a trick of the light.<br />
*At the end, Fry calls [[Yivo]] "he" instead of "[[Coinage#S|shklee]]"<br />
*In the space battle scene, Yivo had supposedly already invaded both [[Mars]] and [[Decapod 10]], but yet we don't see the tentacles stretching anywhere near that far.<br />
**One plausible explanation for this, is that there are several anomalies throughout the universe, although this is neither confirmed nor hinted at in the film.<br />
*Amy asserts that [[Kif]] tried to kill Yivo, despite Yivo not being particularly known about until after Kif's funeral. Although we can attribute this to Amy being a ditz or overly grief stricken, it was not an intentional error.<br />
*In real life, the golden escalators, at the speed they went, would take 100's of 1000's of years, if not millions, to carry the residents of [[Earth]] (the ones closest to the [[anomaly]]) to Yivo's location.<br />
*In the vacuum of space, Kif manages not only to breath, but to speak to Fry. Both of these things are impossible as there is no air to breath or transmit the sound.<br />
**It is possible, though, that Kif's species, being amphibious, can hold their breath for a long time, though it doesn't explain how he can communicate with Fry.<br />
*Yivo claims not to have hurt anyone, although the space battle scene indicates otherwise. At least one ship is seen being destroyed, and the computer screen in the oval office indicates a lot more were as well.<br />
**It is possible, but unlikely, that they were all being remote controlled like the [[Nimbus]].<br />
***It is also possible that Yivo rescued any soldiers who's ship was destroyed.<br />
*While on Yivo/heaven, Zoidberg is seen playing on the bouncing "clouds" (on the left of the screen), but then he comes on the right side of the screen, with ice cream.<br />
*Surely the entire population of a Universe could not have fit on one planet-sized monster, let alone one pirate ship.<br />
**It can be surmised that Yivo can expand shkler body size much like shkler tentacles, even so however, the size shklee was at the point shklee was dragged through the anomaly was not sufficient.<br />
**Though "planet-size" is very ambiguous, because it is basically anything from Neptune and upwards. In addition, it should be noted, that all humans ever lived today could all fit in the [[wikipedia:Isle of Man|Isle of Man]].<br />
*When the fumes on Yivo clear away, we see that Yivo's mouth is beak shaped, but it could not have been evenly covered underneath one normal looking mouth.<br />
*When meeting Yivo's body for the second time, Fry looks surprised to see Yivo's actual face. However, when he fell in love with shkler, he must have already seen shkler face.<br />
*Leela's [[Wristlojackimator]] made it through the anomaly undamaged.<br />
*If lab animals were stored in a 55 gallon drum like in the film, they would suffocate and (unless eating the other lab animals) starve, perhaps the one [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Wernstrom]] used is a life preserving one.<br />
*When Yivo was stabbed by Benders cables, Zapp's hair turned orange during a high angle camera view.<br />
*[[Diamondillium]] could not hold up against Yivo's tentacles, but the windows and walls of the Planet Express Building did. <br />
**However, the windows could be made of [[Diamondium]], meaning it may actually be stronger than Diamondillium.<br />
**Or Yivo's Gentacles are not as strong as shklis tentacles are. However if this were the case, we'd be left to wonder why shkle didn't use shklis tentacles to break in.<br />
**However, even if it was Diamondium, the Professor stated that the tentacles was made of electro-matter, so the windows would still be unable to withstand it. The more likely scenario is that Yivo wasn't trying to break it.<br />
*Strangely, in the 64 shot scene at the end of Earth's date with Yivo, Zoidberg is seen with a house, yet in many previous episodes, he says or implies that he doesn't have a house.<br />
*While Yivo/Fry meet with the crew at the window, behind Fry there seems to be no atmosphere behind the broken Diamondillium. And in one scene there is no broken Diamondillium.<br />
*In the scene where Fry has his hand in the Anomaly just before he turns his head to see Kif, Fry's reflection in the Anomaly moves before he does.<br />
*Yivo said that before he saw the creation of universe Gamma, he was alone, but he also said he was content with his stamp collection. However, if he was alone, there would be no-one to send him anything with stamps on it.<br />
*The [[Anomaly]] flips sides various times.</div>Drelfhttp://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Nibblonians&diff=40099Nibblonians2009-03-23T03:58:18Z<p>Drelf: </p>

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. Nibblonians have a "cuteness reflex" that kicks in when they scared or in danger, it causes them to act like helpless, adorable creatures. 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 />

{{about|[[Brainspawn]]'s memory bank|wiki|The Infosphere (website)}}<br />
'''The Infosphere''' is a massive biological memory bank created by the [[Brain Spawn]] to catalogue all the information in the universe. It is twice the size of three ordinary memory banks (i.e., six times the capacity of a standard memory bank). It took one thousand years to construct, although the massive brain that makes up its core seems to have been alive since at least the time of the dinosaurs. Once the Infosphere had completed its task, the universe was to be destroyed so that no new information could be created. However, the Brainspawn's plan was foiled by [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who sent the Infosphere into an [[Parallel Universes|pocket dimension]] using a [[Quantum Interphase Bomb]] created by the [[Nibblonians]].<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*The statement, 11>4 is seen stored in the Infosphere, but since there is an infinitive amount of numbers, and even more infinities when comparing all these numbers, the process to store all these would take an infinitive amount of time.<br />
*The Infosphere, which purpose is to store all data in the universe, has laid name for [[The Infosphere (website)|this Wiki itself]], which though only seems to care about ''[[Futurama]]'' related stuff.<br />
* It is possible due to the nature of the universe the Infosphere was transported to that it was sent to [[The Farnsworth Parabox|Universe 1]] .<br />

The '''Omega Device''' was a device invented by a blind inventor, used to momentarily disable a [[Dark Ones|Dark One]] via a localized blast of delta-band noise.

They also evolved to have the power to read minds, communicate telepathicaly and suffocate people over long distances, they are also immune to mind reading.<br />
<br />
In their competition are the [[Encyclopods]], whom tried to save all the endangered species that the Dark Ones threaten by storing their DNA. For a long time, the Encyclopods had been extinct, and the Dark Ones were thought to have won, but when the [[Chi]] redeveloped, and spawned new life in the [[Violet Dwarf Star|violet dwarf system]], the Dark Ones met their end when they destroyed by the new Encyclopod.<br />
<br />
The Dark Ones were quick to have been extinct when [[Leo Wong]] planned a large car park over their living quarters on Mars for the new [[Mars Vegas]], but [[Turanga Leela]] saved one of them. Before meeting its end, it managed to kill [[Frida Waterfall]] and her brother, [[Hutch Waterfall]].<br />

The '''Omega Device''' was a device invented by a blind inventor, used to momentarily disable a [[Dark Ones|Dark One]] via a localized blast of delta-band noise. Exactly how it works remains unknown, as its blind inventor only described it once to a deaf person. Or so the legend goes. [[Philip J. Fry]] used it to momentarily disable the Dark One. When activated the device unfolds into a spear like shape and immediately creates a small green pulse. Apparently, the Omega Device requires a power source.<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 27 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 />

==The Story==<br />
<br />
===Act I: Without me, there IS no mission!===<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is disappointed because [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] went on a mission without him (and without his services as Delivery Boy), and because Leela is going out with another man - [[Chaz]], the Mayor's aide. Fry is down in the dumps because he thinks himself unimportant. Meanwhile, Leela and Chaz are going to [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]], where Chaz manages to get a table without a reservation - Leela is genuinely impressed. Fry has adjourned to [[O'Zorgnax Pub]] to drown his depression in alcohol, however, Leela and Chaz enter and Leela tells him she may not make it back to her appartment tonight, and she needs him to walk [[Nibbler]]. Fry gets fined as Nibbler unloads a pile of [[Dark Matter]] on the sidewalk, just in time for Chaz to make a showy appearance in his car with Leela. Nibbler, however, reveals his intelligence to Fry and takes him to his spaceship, both leave [[Earth]] and head for [[Planet Eternium]] where the [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]] Council informs Fry that he is the most important person in the universe, for the fate of the universe rests with him.<br />
<br />
===Act II: Now it's personal!===<br />
Fry is told that due to his lack of the [[Delta Brain Wave]], caused by a genetic anomaly because he is his own grandfather, he is immune to the attacks of the [[Brain Spawn]] and therefore the only hope of the universe. The Brains have constructed the [[The Infosphere|Infosphere]], a monstrous memory bank that contains all information in the universe. Once they have acquired all information, they will make sure that there is no new information by destroying the universe. Fry is to infiltrate the Infosphere and plant a [[Quantum Interphase Bomb]] inside that will blast the sphere into an alternate universe from which there is no return, then escape the blast on a [[Scooty-Puff|Scooty-Puff, jr.]] ''(Who's ready for safe fun?)'', a clockwork-powered scooter. As the Infosphere opens itself for a final self-scan, Fry can enter the structure undetected as the Brains cannot perceive him because of his special thought processes. Fry plants the bomb, but hesitates to trigger it as he wants some answers on intriguing questions, like what postal stamp glue is made of (toad mucus) and what really killed the dinosaurs (the giant brain at the center of the sphere). The unauthorized access triggers the alarm, and as Fry tries to make his getaway, the scooter breaks. The brains become aware of his presence, among them the [[The Big Brain|Big Brain]]. Fry now triggers the bomb, leaving sixty seconds to detonation. Fry is pleased that he is helping good triumph over evil, or so he thinks. The brains in turn show him what really happened on the night of December 31st 1999 when Fry got frozen - Nibbler gave Fry's chair a push so he fell into the cryogenic tube. Fry is furious with the Nibblonians for wrecking his past life, but before they can elaborate on the subject, the bomb goes off and transfers the Infosphere to the alternate universe.<br />
<br />
===Act III: Here I come, future!===<br />
The Brains think of a way for Fry to return to December 31st 1999, so he can prevent Nibbler from shoving him into the tube and thus stop the Nibblonians from crossing the Brain's plan to understand and destroy the universe. Meanwhile, Chaz has taken Leela to the [[New New York#Rocket Skating Rink|Rocket Skating Rink]] that he has reserved just for them - impressing her once more. But the reservation means that the orphans from the [[Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium]] can't take their turn on the rocket skating rink as planned and are missing out. Leela asks Chaz if the orphans can join them, but he refuses as he wants to impress her with his amazing influence. This leaves Leela extremely testy, and she makes him eat his own badge - the romance is over. Fry is transferred by the Brain Spawn to [[Old New York]], to the night he was frozen, where Nibbler is then busy ordering a pizza as [[I. C. Wiener]] at [[Panucci's Pizza]] to the address of [[Applied Cryogenics]]. Fry materializes behind Nibbler under the desk his other self is sitting at and seizes him, telling him what brought him there. Nibbler explains that he did not come back in time, and that Fry is needed in a thousand years time, and that the Nibblonians were afraid he might refuse being frozen. Fry, on the other hand, loves the future and has nothing against being frozen, but is still mad because he does not like being used. Nibbler now asks Fry if there is nothing in the future that he wants, and Fry answers that it is Leela - but that she doesn't think much of him. Nibbler thinks she may be the [[The Other One|Other One]], and tells Fry not to give up on her - he offers his help in the matter. Fry is now left to choose between saving himself or the universe - and Leela. He makes his decision and tips the chair his other self is sitting on, sending him into the cryogenic tube - the future is saved. Fry has just enough time to say that Scooty-Puff, Jr. sucks before he fades - and so, a thousand years later, Fry manages to escape the vanishing Infosphere on the [[Scooty-Puff|Scooty-Puff, Sr.]] ''(The Doom-Bringer)''. Nibbler brings Fry back to Earth and then deletes his memory of the incident to maintain his cover. Before that, he gives Fry a flower that he in turn gives to Leela, and for a moment, she is happy to see him, although he is not the most important person in the universe. As she gives him a kiss, Fry's final utterance is "YES!"<br />
<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*The toy in the bag Zoidberg hands Fry looks a lot like the cat on the back of Leela's backpack in [[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]].<br />
*The dimension the Infosphere is sent to may be Universe 1 from [[The Farnsworth Parabox]].<br />
<br />
*Amy reads the book "Martians are from Mars, Venusians are from Venus".<br />
*This episode, along with [[Roswell that Ends Well]] explains why the universe was destroyed in [[Anthology of Interest I]]. Had Fry not been frozen because of his future self, it would create a paradox and destroy the [[Timeline of Futurama|timeline]].<br />
*This episode is the first to not feature [[Professor Farnsworth]].<br />
*This episode was named #20 on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p1.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
<br />
<!--<br />
Please Talk page discussion about this section.<br />
===Goofs===<br />
*When Fry goes back in time and lets Nibbler freeze him, Nibbler says that he will get a transfer to Earth to help Fry in 1000 years. However, because Nibbler is on Earth the whole series, (we presume that being on Vergon 6 was simply a ploy to get close to Fry), that means that Fry has always been going back in time. Simply because Nibbler is with Fry means that Fry went back in time, so he SHOULD have given Fry the Scooty Puff Sr. in the first place.<br />
*Because Fry tells Nibbler that Scooty Puff Jr.s suck, Fry doesn't end up getting trapped in the Infosphere. Because of this, Fry wouldn't be able to go back in time and tell Nibler that Scooty Puff Jr.s suck, and he WOULD get stuck in the Infosphere. Then, because he got stuck in the Infosphere, he WOULD go back in time... etc. This creates a paradox.<br />

'''Home Planet''': [[Decapod 10]]<br />
<br />
==General==<br />
The '''Decapodians''' are a race of sentient, lobster-like creatures from [[Decapod 10]]. <br />
<br />
===Culture===<br />
Decapodians do most of their building with packed sand. Their government is a totalitarian dictatorship, and there is little freedom on their world, which leads many Decapodians to seek it on other worlds, like [[Earth]]. It seems that the Decapodian culture has taken over many things from Human civilization, including many Jewish stereotypes (although, because they're a form of shellfish, this is quite ironic).They sometimes settle matters of honor by [[Claw-Plach]], a ritual battle to the death before a massive audience.{{clear}}<br />
<br />
[[Image:Decapodian Vehicle.jpg|right|thumb|A Decapodian sedan]]<br />
===Politics and War===<br />
While usually seeming peaceful on the surface, they can be provoked to declare all-out war at a moment's notice. They will enslave the entire population of a planet with their [[Decapodian Army|army]], and force them to build the tools of their oppressors. They once declared war on [[Earth]], and were actually successful in enslaving the population. However, in spite of the successful completion of the [[Mobile Oppression Palace]], they were defeated and Earth freed by [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] ([[A Taste of Freedom|4ACV05]]).<br />
<br />
==Anatomy==<br />
[[Image:Decapodian Organs.jpg|right|thumb|Decapodian Organs]]<br />
Like lobsters or crabs on Earth, Decapodians have no bones. Instead they have an exoskeleton&mdash;a hard, chitinous shell which gives their body the rigidity needed to move about. These shells&mdash;like seemingly most of their other organs&mdash;are not an integral part of the body, but are moulted and replaced when they grow too large ([[Amazon Women in the Mood|3ACV01]]). They may vary in colour from pink, red, or brown, and all hues in between. They have claws instead of hands and feet, and have a row of four small finger-like flaps that cover their mouths. The thorax has three ridges, possibly containing orifices, and ink pouches are set in the armpits. A blowhole is set on top of the head, and the males possess a decorative fin in the same place that can be erected at will in times of the mating frenzy. Internal organs are numerous and seem to be vestigial or redundant. There are, among others, four hearts, a gas bladder, a stink gland, and a tiny brain in their rump, which takes over during the mating frenzy. Apparently Decapodians are very strong, and their claws are sharp enough to cut steel bars and similarly hard things (but not diamond filaments). Decapodians are cold-blooded, the blood appears to be light purple in colour. They also have an organ that gives off foul odors when they become board.<br />
<br />
===Life Cycle===<br />
Decapodians go through many different stages during their lives. Starting off as tiny larvae in a puddle, they progress through no less than a dozen forms. ([[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles|4ACV09]]) In their mature form, Decapodians are bipedal humanoids.<br />
[[Image:Decapodian Life Cycle.jpg|center|600px]]<br />
<br />
===Pearls===<br />
[[Image:Decapodian Warships.jpg|thumb|right|Decapodian Warships]]<br />
Like many Earth mollusks, Decapodians create pearls when irritants are introduced into their throats. These pearls are blue in appearance and can be used to make jewelry. ([[Bendin' in the Wind|3ACV03]])<br />
<br />
===Reproduction===<br />
As with life on Earth, female Decapodians carry eggs, which are fertilized by the males. Like many sea creatures, their survival strategy is to produce massive numbers of offspring, rather than to protect a small number of children until adulthood. Decapodians have no concept of love, and enter into relationships only for reproduction. When their mating season arrives, each male attempts to attract a female with an erotic display in the same place as the humans does their erotic display&mdash;the beach. Successful couples will participate in the mating frenzy. After participating in the frenzy, they die a gruesom death. This brings into question how Zoidberg knew his parents, but not enough is known to draw any conclusions (i.e., they may have been adoptive parents from another generation). Zoidberg also states that he is "Norm and Sam and Sadie's boy" ([[That's Lobstertainment!|3ACV08]]), which implies Decapodians may have three parents, whether that be one biological and two adoptive or some other combination (or all biological), however it may also be coincidence, that three Decapodians picked up Zoidberg, which may also suggest that some children are taken care of, after they return to shore.<br />

<br />
==Additional Information==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
*"Decapod" means "having 10 feet"&mdash;a common trait of crustaceans, though one the Decapodians lack in their mature, bipedal forms.<br />
<br />
===Quotes===<br />
*'''Dr. Zoidberg''': Fry, it's been years since medical school, so remind me. Disembowelling in your species: Fatal or non-fatal?<br />
*'''Decapodian Emperor''': Once invoked, the sacred tradition of Claw-Plach can not be taken back. It is a recent tradition, only 18 years old, but it is a tradition nonetheless.<br />

}}<br />
'''Philip J. Fry''' is the first class delivery boy of [[Planet Express]], which his [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|nephew]] owns. Before working for Planet Express he worked for [[Panucci's Pizza]] before he was frozen down and woke up a thousand years later.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Early years===<br />
Fry was born in 1974 somewhere in [[Old New York]]; he was the child of [[Yancy and Mrs. Fry|honest hard working Americans]]. During his upbringing he faced great rivalry with his older [[Yancy Fry, Jr.|brother]]. His brother constantly used his ideas and even wanted his first name. Fry also spent of a lot of time playing video games and watching ''Star Trek''. He was never admitted to public school because his parents feel it would be a waste of taxpayer's money.<br />
<br />
Fry never made a success of himself, and during his twenties (or late teenage years) he gets a job at [[Panucci's Pizza]] as a pizza delivery boy. While working for [[Mr. Panucci]], he meets up with [[Michelle]] and they begin a relationship. On a delivery to a prank call in [[Timeline|1997]], he meets up with [[Seymour Asses]], a dog who he names after the addressee of the prank call delivery. Seymour becomes his best friend.<br />
<br />
===My God - a million years!===<br />
On the faithful night of New Year's Eve, 1999, he was sent on another prank delivery to [[I. C. Wiener]]. When he arrived at the destination, [[Applied Cryogenics]], he realised that it was a prank, but since he could not make it back to Panucci's before the new year, he decided to celebrate it where he was. Then, while leaning on his chair, he leant too far backwards and fell into a tube, which closed and he is frozen for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve, 2999, the tube's timer finished and he woke up again. But Fry is not at all afraid about his entire life so far being gone. He is introduced to [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] who is working to assign [[Career chip|unfrozen people to jobs]], she informs him that he only has one living relative; [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. But faced with becoming a delivery boy again, Fry flees. While running around [[New New York]], he spots a [[suicide booth]], which he mistakes for a regular phone booth, where he decides to call his nephew.<br />
<br />
Inside the suicide booth, [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] gets impatient with Fry's lack of understanding of how the booth works. So he helps him along, at which point Fry realises what sort of booth he has stepped into. After avoiding getting killed by the booth, he decides to hang out with Bender. After a couple of drinks, Bender suggests he better leave to go kill himself again, but Fry wants him to stay, because he had always wanted a robot for a friend (or at least every since he was six). But Leela is still on his trail, after being forced by her boss, [[Ipgee]], to continue the pursuit of him.<br />
<br />
While escaping her through the [[Head Museum]] and running into the ruins of Old New York, Leela finally catches up with them. But to Fry's surprise, she decides to quit her job instead of forcing the job upon to him. Fry suggests they go to his nephew and see if he can help them. And after confirming his and Fry's relation, he wishes to hire them as a replacement for his old crew.<br />
<br />
===Planet Express Delivery Boy===<br />
Fry is hired on his nephew's company as a delivery boy. Being faced with the ability to travel around space, Fry is pleased with his new position. At first Fry lives at the Planet Express, but after an [[I, Roommate|apartment hunt]] he ends up living in Bender's closet. But Fry immediately gets an interest in Leela. But to his dismay, the feelings are not mutual.<br />
<br />
His work at Planet Express gets him thrown into a lot of absurd adventures, he is briefly in a relationship with [[Amy Wong]], and while the company's bureaucrat, [[Hermes Conrad]], is away, he had an affair with the company's replacement bureaucrat, [[Morgan Proctor]]. Neither lasting very long, but when he almost destroys the Planet Express building, Hermes fire him, Bender and Leela, he gets Leela's former job by accident he founds his girlfriend Michelle unfrozen. But when she does not feel comfortable in the future, she asks him to come with him to year 4000. After they wake up and realising that they were actually just in [[Los Angeles]] two days later, she dumps him in favour of [[Pauly Shore]].<br />
<br />
On a truck stop he eats a bad egg sandwich, so he gets infected with parasites. The worms gives him a complete tune up, and he both becomes stronger, smarter, and he is capable of impressing Leela with the [[Holophonor]], but Fry fears that Leela has falling in love with the worms rather than him, so he decides to get rid of them. And he appears to be right, she immediately asks him to leave.<br />
<br />
===The most important person in the universe===<br />
At some point the [[Brain Spawn]] attack [[Earth]], and in its progress it makes all [[humans]] stupid or stupider. Fry however is immune to this as he lacks a certain Delta brain wave. The [[Nibblonians]] inform Leela of how to save him, but just as she convince him that the brains are evil, he runs to the library where he meets and battles [[the Big Brain]]. Fry beats the Big Brain, and when everyone is back to normal, no one has any memory of his actions and just thinks he is crazy.<br />
<br />
While the Planet Express crew are watching a supernova about to explode, Fry puts some metal into a microwave in the [[Planet Express Ship|ship]], which causes them to be thrown back in time to 1947 and they manage to crash land in Roswell, New Mexico. During this trip he kills his (supposed) [[Enos Fry|grandfather]] and meets his [[Mildred Fry|grandmother]], but after a night with her it becomes obvious that himself is his grandfather.<br />
<br />
But the Nibblonians call for his help again and the Brain Spawn have begun collecting all information in the universe, and would then destroy it. The Nibblonians explain that due to his "past-nastification" he lacks the Delta brain wave. It is revealed to him inside [[the Infosphere]] that it was [[Nibbler]] who made him fall into the tube and original come to the future. But Fry's love for Leela makes him accept it. And in a second attempt, he destroys the Infosphere and the universe is saved.<br />
<br />
===A deal with the devil===<br />
During more events with his crew members, he wound up in a parallel universe where he and Leela is married, he gets his nose cut off, he writes a love note to Leela by moving the stars themselves, he gets in a relationship with [[Lucy Liu's Head|Lucy Liu]]-bot, he becomes the vice chairman of the company during a takeover, the emperor of [[Trisol]] and much more.<br />
<br />
But his passion and number one thing he always wanted still remains unexplored. He thinks back to when had the worms, and when he could play the Holophoner to impress Leela. Bender suggests that he should make a deal with the [[Robot Devil]], and in an (to the Robot Devil at least) appalling ironic outcome, he gets the Robot Devil's hands. He can play the Holophonor now, and he becomes a famous musician, performing many classical numbers.<br />
<br />
[[Hedonism Bot]] hires him to write an opera, Fry decides to write it about Leela. And after the first act of the opera, it is already deemed best opera of all time. But meanwhile the Robot Devil is plotting against Fry to get his hands back, because the Robot Devil is getting tired of Fry's hands. And so in the final act, the Robot Devil interrupts the opera and demands his hands back. Fry refuses, and the Robot Devil explains that if so, he will marry Leela for which she has signed (unknowingly for her though). Fry realises that this ultimatum only has one solution, to let Leela go and give up the Robot Devil's hands. And since he cannot play any more, the opera is credited as sucking.<br />
<br />
===Years of absences===<br />
But Planet Express is brutally redrawn its license by the [[Box Network]] to which they were fired. But luckily their license is renewed and they are back in business. Fry becomes the centre of attention as his butt contains the secret to time travel, when Alien Scammers (lead by [[Nudar]]) takes over the business, they find the [[machine language time code]] on his butt. Bender is ordered to go back in time and steal all of Earth's values from the past. But Fry is more upset about this [[Lars Fillmore]] who is getting a chance with Leela.<br />
<br />
The scammers feel it would be best to get rid of the time code when they are actually nervous about the universe being destroyed, but Fry manages to read the code off his butt using a mirror and escapes back to January 1st, 2000. Here he attempts to get some food from Mr. Panucci, but since he has no money from that era he cannot, except the pizza he delivered to I. C. Wiener, it is here he decides to travel back an hour when the pizza was warm. His [[time paradox duplicate]] refuses to do the same thing and walks off. But Fry himself manages to end up inside the same tube he was originally frozen in. When his frozen self wakes up, he closes the tube after him and leaves the timer for 7.95 years to wake up again appropriate to when he had left.<br />
<br />
Luckily for him, Lars Fillmore calls off the wedding, and while he is unable to get Leela's attention, at least he and she won't be dating any more. And after having Hermes and Bender save the Earth, he decides on New Year's Eve of 3007, that Lars and Leela belong together. But here it is revealed that Lars is the exact same time paradox duplicated he left at Applied Cryogenics.<br />
<br />
==Name==<br />
Outside the show Fry was called Philip after Phil Hartman, who was to play [[Zapp Brannigan]]. Fry was originally named Curtis. Within the show Fry was named Philip by his father after Phillips screwdrivers. The J. is used in Many of [[Matt Groening|Matt Groening's]] characters including Homer J. Simpson, Bartholomew J. Simpson and Mona J. Simpson, and is a tribute to Bullwinkle J. Moose. The trend is also followed by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]], and his clone, [[Cubert Farnsworth]].<br />
[[Image:Fry Family Tree.png|right|200px]]<br />
<br />
==Family==<br />
Fry's [[:Image:Fry Family Tree.jpg|family tree]] is a bit convoluted, due in part to the reuse of common names, but mostly because Fry went back in time and became his own grandpa ([[Roswell that Ends Well|3ACV19]]).<br />

Also, whenever she falls or slips, she screams, usiing the same soundbite each time. The sound of something breaking usually follows. She also frequently comments on Leela's beauty in a very tactless, insulting way.<br />

[[Image:Wristlojackimator.jpg|right|thumb|Wristlojackimator]]<br />
A '''Wristlojackimator''' is a device worn on the wrist, which has a wide variety of functions.<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
The device itself may be called something other than "Wristlojackimator", since [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] usually refers to it only as "this thing" or "this thing on my wrist". She only refers to it as a wristlojackimator once ([[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back|2ACV11]]), and may in fact have been referring to the tracking beacon function she was using at the time ("wristlojackimator" contains the phrase "lo-jack"&mdash;a popular anti-theft tracking device for 20th-21st century cars).<br />
<br />
Wristlojackimators may in fact have independent artificial intelligence, as Leela's detaches itself and leaves during the [[Robot Rebellion]] incited by [[Mom]] on [[Mother's Day (holiday)|Mother's Day]], and tells her she should wash her wrist more often.<br />
<br />
These multi-functional devices are operated by means of buttons and voice commands.<br />
<br />

'''The Time Sphere''' is a green, shimmering sphere that if stepped in takes the user to the time zone of their choice, however it is a one way trip, the sphere cannot be used to go back to the future. The Time Sphere can only be summoned if the binary time code is said out loud, the time code is 001100010010011110100001101101110011, which is 26389788390 when expressed as a decimal.<br />

[[Image:Zoidberg_lab.jpg|right|thumb|Production pic of his lab]]<br />
<br />
'''Dr. John A. Zoidberg''' is Staff Doctor at [[Planet Express]] and an honorary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]]. He has been employed at the company for the past ten years. It is uncertain whether he is technically and legally qualified for this job, for he seems to be a bit hazy on details of human anatomy and frequently mixes up human organs, orifices and genders and can't even tell a human from a robot.<br />
<br />
There is evidence that he doesn't even have a medical degree or diploma, (although he claims that he lost it in a volcano) but Zoidberg has never let himself be stopped by this, and it is not known whether he is actually a competent doctor when dealing with his own species. In fact he has occasionally shown extraordinary medical skills, although this was perhaps only by accident. He is desperately poor (while referred to as an employee of Planet Express, there is no evidence that he is actually paid anything at all for this job) and most of his meals come from garbage cans or dumpsters. He seems able to eat and digest almost anything, including clothing (but not pixellated video game sprites), and will do anything for a free meal.<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
[[Image:Anthology.jpg|left|thumb|Giant Zoidberg]]<br />
Dr. Zoidberg was born on [[Decapod 10]] and seems to have visited high school there, apparently [[Edna]] was a class mate or at least on the same school. During that time, his face was covered in barnacles, for which he was laughed at. Eventually, he went to medical school and left his home planet to seek his fortune on Earth, although it is not known whether he studied on Decapod 10 or on Earth. For this, he had to give up his life-long dream of stepping into the footsteps of his uncle [[Harold Zoid]], the famous master comedian of earlier days, and becoming a comedian. He has tried to be a freelance comedian nonetheless, but somehow seems to lack the necessary talent. Zoidberg is sometimes referred to as the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]]'s oldest friend, which could mean that he is a lot older than he looks, but also might indicate poor social skills on the Professor's side, which is much more likely.<br />
<br />
Zoidberg once saved [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s life by transplanting his head onto [[Amy Wong|Amy]]'s shoulder when his body was severely damaged in a car crash on Jupiter's moon Europa. On another occasion, he tried to kill Fry in the Decapodian tradition of Claw-Plach. He has served as a military doctor in the conflict with [[Spheron 1]] and defeated the Decapodian oppressors who had occupied Earth in response to Zoidberg being sentenced to death for eating an Earth flag. On one occasion he travelled through time to 1947 Roswell, was captured by the US army, met [[Harry S. Truman|President Harry Truman]] (it is unclear which of them was more baffled by the other), and was partially dissected before being rescued and returned to the future.<br />
<br />
===Personality===<br />
Zoidberg seems not to be hugely intelligent, but is rather nice and friendly despite the fact that most of his co-workers look down on him, especially [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] likes to make his life even more miserable than it already is. He lives in the constant illusion that the rest of the Planet Express crew are his friends. Zoidberg is [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s oldest friend, which indicates that they must have known each other for quite some time and that maybe he is a lot older than he looks. He is a citizen of [[Earth]] and loves his chosen home planet for the personal freedom it provides. He is also apparently the only intelligent organism on planet earth deemed to be nice by the [[Santa Claus|Robot Santa]].<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*Norm, Sam and Sadie, parents (mentioned in [[That's Lobstertainment!|3ACV08]]), presumably one is the woman who raised him (seen in [[A Taste of Freedom|4ACV05]]), the other two are deceased biological parents. He referred to one of them as a saint, which was most likely just an expression.<br />
*[[Harold Zoid]], uncle<br />
*His brother Norman and up to nine other siblings that budded from Zoidberg during the coral stage of his larval stadium. Norman dies when he is sucked into the Fountain of Aging, but all other siblings are never mentioned again.<br />
*Zoidfarb, cousin - Zoidberg received an [[Xmas]] card from him in [[Xmas Story]]<br />
==Additional Info==<br />
===Trivia===<br />
* He lost his medical degree in a volcano.<br />
*In earlier episodes he is animated with teeth, but in later episodes he is drawn without.<br />

<div>== Doom Meter ==<br />
<br />
<br />
The Doom Meter is a device that is used to mesure how doomed the scanned person is by displaying the amount of millidooms they are emitting. Apperantly the normal amount of millidooms a person should be emitting is about 10, however a [[Time paradox duplicate]]<br />
emitts doom at 10 times the background level.<br />
