'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{s|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Many people have compared the ''Futurama'' characters with ''The Simpsons'' characters such as [[Bender Bending Rodriguez]] is ''Futurama''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> {{s|Homer Simpson}} or [[Cubert J. Farnsworth]] is ''Futurama''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> {{s|Bart Simpson}}. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

'''''The Simpsons''''' is an animated television comedy created by [[Matt Groening]] and developed with {{s|James L. Brooks}} and {{s|Sam Simon}}. Originating as one-minute shorts on ''{{s|The Tracey Ullman Show}}'', it debuted as a stand-alone series on 17 December, [[1989]] and has gone on to become the longest-running American prime-time entertainment series ever. Because ''[[Futurama]]'' was also created by Groening and developed jointly with then-''Simpsons'' writer [[David X. Cohen]], it is only natural that ''Futurama'' would include references to ''The Simpsons'' occasionally within the show, and vice versa. Not to mention that owning the copyright means not having to license material. Many people have compared the ''Futurama'' characters with ''The Simpsons'' characters such as [[Bender Bending Rodriguez]] is ''Futurama''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> {{s|Homer Simpson}} or [[Cubert J. Farnsworth]] is ''Futurama''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> {{s|Bart Simpson}}. Following is a complete list of connections between ''Futurama'' and ''The Simpsons''.<br />

|-<br />
|The [[Volume 4#AL1 Message|AL1 message]] on [[Volume 4]] refers to ''Futurama'' fans, and everyone involved in the show, as "Nerdlingers".

"'''Monkey Sea, Monkey Doom!'''" is the first [[comic]] issue, which was released on 22 November, 2000 in the US. The comic was also available in a special edition during 2000's San Diego Comic-Con. After being asked to bury a dangerous device by the professor, the crew discovers a time capsule from the 1970s in the form of a lunchbox. Due to an ad in an old comic in the lunchbox, Fry decides to order some Sea Monkeys, but eventually dumps them in toxic waste, which turns out to be a mistake.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I ===<br />
When the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] has [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] dig a hole in the floor of the basement of the [[Planet Express]] building to bury the [[Galactic Terminatrix 3000]], a device that he used to accidentally blow up one of Saturn's moons, the crew discover a time capsule, in the form of a [[Partridge Family Lunchbox]], from the late 1970s. Fry takes the contents for his own use, while the rest of the crew dismiss it as junk and think the 20th century was boring. Fry finds an ad for [[Sea Monkeys]] in the back of an [[Space Boy in Outer Space|old comic]] and buys some from [[Shifty's True Wonders of the 20th Century Emporium]] to prove the 20th century was cool. However the Sea Monkeys are dead and they fail to impress the rest of the Planet Express crew so he disposes of them in toxic waste.<br />
<br />
=== Act II ===<br />
[[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] recovers the Sea Monkeys from the waste showing that they're alive and they've grown. By the next morning, they grow larger than the building and wreak havoc on New New York. The crew set out to destroy them in the Planet Express ship but fail. They eject out of the ship but one catches Fry. As it is about to eat him, the others call [[Sal]] saying they're not satisfied and he quickly solves the problem by killing the Sea Monkeys and Fry is saved. [[Planet Express]] is charged with the clean up of the Sea Monkey corpses, so instead they have [[Elzar]] cook the bodies and [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] receives a feast.<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if there should be a change in how we list the characters ages. For obvious reasons related to the existence of the Gregorian calendar, ages are determined by what year the character was born. But David X. Cohen said this in [http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-david-x-cohen-interview-1?cmpid=rss-tv an interview with UGO] yesterday:<br />
<br />
:'''Kevin Fitzpatrick''': Let me ask you a Futurama universe question that's bugged me in the past. How do you see Futurama's timeline working? I know cartoons, especially the Simpsons, they always have the floating timeline to keep the characters younger. Futurama does something unique. They sort of address it, they keep it grounded that started in the year 3000, and it's now 3011. So is Fry technically 36 but just looks 25?<br />
<br />
:'''David X. Cohen''': This is a question which we do debate here periodically, and the practical solution is we now attempt to never refer to how old the characters are, and just act like they're the same age they've always been. So the approach we take is the year is changing, so we always keep it exactly 1,000 years ahead, so each episode we write the plan is happening 1,000 years from now. So we're now writing the year 3012 for next summer's episodes.<br />
<br />
:So that's clearly set in there; we're even going to say the 3012 presidential election as a perfect example of that. But at the same time we will not refer to Fry's age increasing. We're in some kind of a surrealism of the show that they're apparently not getting older but the year is advancing, and if you ask me to explain it more than that, my tongue will literally turn into a square knot, so I will leave it at that.<br />
<br />
'''TL;DR''': The writers don't refer to the ages of the characters and treat them as if they were always the same age. The only thing that really changes is the year.<br />
<br />
Should we start giving the characters the ages they had at the beginning of the series, except for those who have explicitly aged (e.g. Professor Farnsworth)? In cases of time travelers and repeat defrostees like Bender and Fry, we can list "real ages" alongside show-indicated age. While nothing David Cohen says actually contradicts the idea that Fry is 36 etc., if the writers are treating Fry like a 25-year-old slacker, should we do so for him and everyone else? -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 05:08, 25 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:They are treating the characters like they don't age, but they are fully aware of it. If DXC was asked how old Fry was, he would probably say he's 36. I don't really see how this effects the discussion - if I'm not mistaken, in the interview they also talk about how there ''are'' excuses, like "people age more slowly in the future", they just don't talk about it. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 14:30, 26 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Maybe I just read it differently. I read it as the show exists exactly 1000 years in the future at all times, but the characters don't age, e.g. like Bart Simpson will always be 10 years old even though he was "born" in 1980. In any case, the next question in the interview refers to the Professor's age and states that people in the future might just live longer. So this issue isn't something I'm going to press with fervor. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:46, 26 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::It's not like "they don't age", it's more like "they ''do'' age, but we don't really care to discuss it properly". - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:27, 26 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Since the series will be over later this year, should we change the age template to be what the character's age will be in 3014 instead of whatever the current year is + 1000? --[[User:Zenthor|Zenthor]] ([[User talk:Zenthor|talk]]) 21:20, 11 January 2014 (CET)</div>Zenthorhttp://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Hermes_Conrad&diff=138508Hermes Conrad2014-01-11T19:58:17Z<p>Zenthor: /* Character Description */</p>

'''Hermes Conrad''' is a Jamaican {{w|Rastafarian}} and grade 36 [[Bureaucrats|Bureaucrat]], and proud of it. He works at [[Planet Express]], handling stamping, filing, collating, and accounting - all the fiddly little paperwork that only a true bureaucrat can handle properly. He claims, however, that he is only anal 78.36% of the time. He is also an honorary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]], and has worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]] as Inspector #5. He lives with [[Conrad family|his family]] in [[Conrad Apartment|an apartment]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Hermes is a bureaucrat working for the [[Planet Express]] delivery company, under [[Hubert J. Farnsworth]]. He is friendly and hard working but can also be nasty at times, particularly to [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]]. Despite his wide frame, Hermes was an accomplished limboer. He has a rivalry with Barbados Slim. However, he stopped his limboing career when a young boy jumped out of the audience crowd shouting "I'm like Hermes" but the boy ended up breaking his back as Hermes knew his back couldn't take it, after this moment Hermes ended his limbo fame. Hermes also has a habit of saying "Sweet (something) of (some place)".<br />
The show also hints that Hermes does not like his co-workers in "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]". He first tells [[Leela]] to shoot [[Bender]], [[Fry]] and Zoidberg, and second has to be begged not to eject the crew from the airlock.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Hurricane in Kingston town ===<br />
Hermes Conrad was born to a [[Hermes' mother|fat ugly Jamaican woman]] in [[2959]] and soon after began to develop into a fine young bureaucrat, crying when his alphabet blocks are knocked out of order as a four year old and making friends and family file long applications to get into his tenth [[birthday]] party.<br />
<br />
=== Limbo champion ===<br />
[[File:Hermes Limbo 2980.png|right|thumb]]<br />
During his adult life, Hermes became an Olympic grade limboer. It was around this time that he married [[LaBarbara Conrad|LaBarbara]], the ex-wife of his rival [[Barbados Slim]]. On his honeymoon, he limboed for 12 straight hours. When competing for the Earth team in [[2980 Olympics|2980]] a [[2980 Olympics Boy|young fan]] trying to emulate him ran onto the field and snapped his spine, killing him, Hermes dropped out of professional limbo immediately after the tragic accident. Turning to his other passion, Hermes and his wife moved to [[New New York]], home to the [[Central Bureaucracy]] and the couple had a son, [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]].<br />
<br />
=== Mom's Friendly Robot Company ===<br />
[[File:Young Hermes and Baby Bender.png|right|thumb]]<br />
Sometime after moving to New New York, Hermes got a job as Inspector #5 at Mom's Friendly Robot Company's [[Tijuana]] division ([[Lethal Inspection|6ACV06]]). He lived in a rather quaint mission-styled house there, while it appears LaBarbara remained in New New York. There he was responsible for letting [[Bender]] live, despite him being a defective unit. After this he immediately quit the company and moved back to New New York.<br />
<br />
=== Heroic Bureaucrat ===<br />
Hermes, as a grade 36 bureaucrat, joined the staff of [[Planet Express]]. When his limboing skills alone could save the entire crew from certain death in the destruction of the space cruise ship [[Titanic]], he overcame his aversion and rediscovered the sport he loved. After a few bad experiences with [[Brain Slugs]], Hermes received a pair of letters from the Central Bureaucracy, the second of which informed him there would soon be an inspection - and a chance at a promotion. Unfortunately, his office was messed up by the angry staff of [[Applied Cryogenics]] and he was sent on the ultimate penalty of paid vacation. On returning to the Central Bureaucracy building, he was able to sort the master "in" pile and retrieve a disk containing Bender's brain. He finished the job with time to spare and was demoted to grade 38 as a result, but soon found an error in [[Morgan Proctor|another bureaucrat]]'s paperwork and earned a promotion to grade 37.<br />
<br />
=== It's called parenting ===<br />
When Dwight and [[Cubert Farnsworth]] started their own delivery company, Hermes and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] felt threatened, and rightly so; the pair soon took over the company, until they were revealed to not have been delivering their papers. Later, The pair of parents formed a [[Bender]] protest group, [[Fathers Against Rude Television]], which successfully protested [[All My Circuits]] to get him off the show and remove his influence on their children.<br />
<br />
=== Old Habits ===<br />
[[File:Hermes Head Battles.png|right|thumb]]<br />
In 3004, when the entire Jamaican limbo team was detained at the airport because of their "other interests," Hermes was called back out of retirement to defend his country's pride, but he came in dead last due to a freak accident with his [[flabbo-dynamic spandex bodysuit]]. Three years and three bureaucrat grade increases later Hermes, now grade 34, was decapitated when a decorative sword fell and sliced off his head after a limbo contest at Planet Express. Although he survived as a [[Head jars|head in a jar]], LaBarbara immediately left him and went back to [[Barbados Slim|her first husband]]. At [[Lars Fillmore|Lars]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s wedding, he won LaBarbara back when he received a new body (his own, stolen from the past by Bender). Soon after, he was jabbed in the eye with a pen and his head is chopped off once again when a crystal chandelier falls, destroying the [[time paradox duplicate]] body. His head then provides useful guidance in the [[Battle for Earth, 3007|war to reclaim the earth]] where, using his mighty bureaucratic mind to coordinate the human fleet, he defeats the [[remote-controlled solid gold Death Stars]] and wins LaBarbara back. He then regains his original body back and witnesses space ripping open.<br />
<br />
=== Mysterious Destination ===<br />
In the same year, he attends Kif and Amy's [[Coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]] and participates in "[[Deathball]]" to win the right to explore the [[Anomaly]]. He is one of the many people who live with one of [[Yivo]]'s tentacles in his neck and joins everyone else in the universe in leaving to live on Yivo. After returning, Hermes comes to LaBarbara and the other [[Feministas]]' rescue, as they flee [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the [[Earth]]ican legal system through a [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]].<br />
<br />
=== Reborn ===<br />
Exiting the wormhole, only to crash land outside their workplace, Hermes and his colleagues are given new bodies by the Professor, as the old ones were reduced to skeletons {{et|6ACV01}}. A few months later, Bender learned that he had been approved by "Inspector #5" despite lacking a backup unit. Hermes accompanies Bender on a quest to find the responsible party, allowing him to continue hiding the fact that he had been that inspector, and to protect Bender from any dangerous [[Killbots]]. By this time, Hermes had been demoted back to grade 36 {{et|6ACV06}}. In [[3012|the following year]], Hermes became a cyborg {{et|7ACV07}}.<br />

<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*[[LaBarbara Conrad]], wife.<br />
*[[Dwight Conrad]], son.<br />
*Granny (deceased), a zombie.<br />
*Mamma (deceased), fat, ugly, and possibly promiscuous, she promised Hermes that he would never be attacked by [[Yivo|tentacles]] when he gave up diapers.<br />
*Unnamed father (possibly deceased), he promised his son that he would never be attacked by [[Yivo|tentacles]] when he gave up diapers.<br />
<br />
=== Relationships ===<br />
Hermes has been married to LaBarbara since the beginning of the series so no other relationships are shown, except when the entire universe, Hermes included, fell in love with [[Yivo]].<br />
=== Semblance ===<br />
It is pointed out at several times that Hermes is overweight, perhaps this is why [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] mistook Hermes as an outer-space potato man instead of a rotund Jamaican ([[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back|2ACV11]]). For example, when a sword cuts off part of his belly while limboing ([[Bender's Big Score|BBS]]) and a [[High-Powered X-Ray]] is fired at him ([[The Duh-Vinci Code|6ACV05]]), he realizes that he is not, as he presumed, big-boned - he's just fat. When he asks [[Amy Wong|Amy]] to [[Mind-Switcher|switches minds]] ([[The Prisoner of Benda|6ACV10]]), she says she'll destroy his body too (already having made [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s obese), he solemnly replies, "three decades of the munchies already beat you to it". Amy, however, helped him lose a lot of weight, by losing her appetite after seeing Leela and Fry make out in the bodies of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] and [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]], respectively.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*During early production of the series, Hermes was named "Dexter".<br />
*Apparently Hermes has head lice. Probably due to how dreadlocks are made, and near impossible to wash.<br />
*Age is revealed in "[[Bender Breaks Out|"Bender Breaks Out" (US#020)]]", when he dies in an alternate timeline.<br />
*In [[Cornwood]], a universe created from Bender's imagination, Hermes counterpart is a [[Hermaphrodite|hermaphroditic centaur]].<br />
*In "[[Proposition Infinity]]", Hermes was coming down with [[Circusitis]].<br />
*Has tasted toxic waste, that he claimed tasted like delicious fig pudding, but had a distinct aftertaste of toxic waste.<br />
*Many jokes throughout the series has suggested that Hermes smokes {{w|marijuana}}.<br />
*Apparently likes pizza, as seen in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]" and "[[A Clockwork Origin]]".<br />
*He may be named after the messenger of the gods from Greek mythology. This is fitting since he works for a delivery company.<br />
*Canonically, is the only main character to be put in a Head Jar.<br />
*He is one of three members of Planet Express to have worked for [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]] (the other two being Professor Farnsworth and Dr. Zoidberg).<br />
*It has been shown that due to his diet of overly spicy foods his skin has itself become extremely spicy to the point which if a robot consumes it they will melt.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrases and running gags ===<br />
[[File:Hermes promo.png|right|thumb|150px|Hermes Conrad]]<br />
Hermes' basic catchphrase is 'Sweet [something] of [some place]!'. The 'something' and the 'some place' usually rhyme.<br />

<br />
A recurring joke involves Hermes about to eat a {{w||manwich}}, until it is stolen by Bender or [[Zoidberg]], at which point Hermes cries "My Manwich!" (His son Dwight also has the same habit.) <br />
<br />
Hermes usually refers to [[LaBarbara Conrad]] as "wife" or "woman"; his wife usually calls him "husband".<br />
<br />
Hermes sometimes mentions green snakes and sugar canes including:<br />
*Our electricity bill is climbing faster than a green snake up a sugar cane!<br />
*I'm hungrier than a green snake in a sugar cane field.<br />
*Fry, no! The pressure will crush you like a green snake under a sugar cane truck!<br />
*That's flatter than a green snake under a sugar cane truck.<br />
<br />
Another [[Wiktionary:Running gag|running gag]] is that he shows hatred to Zoidberg for no real reason at bizarre times. For example, after witnessing a temporarily blind Leela destroying the ceiling of Planet Express, Hermes turned to Zoidberg and said "That's coming out of ''your'' pay!", which brought Zoidberg to tears. Also, when Fry suggested Zoidberg had a parasite, Hermes followed up with "Maybe he ''is'' a parasite!". Plus in the episode "[[The Deep South]]" when the Planet Express Ship is underwater, Hermes made a suggestion to eat Dr. Zoidberg. However, he secretly thinks that Zoidberg is "pathetic but lovable".<br />
<br />
Hermes has been shown nude more times than any other character in the series.<br />
<br />
It is also a recurring theme that Hermes wants to kill some or all of the members of the Planet Express crew; in "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]", he suggested that Leela shoot the rest of the crew and pondered ejecting the entire crew of both universes into the sun.<br />

<br />
'''Dr. John A. Zoidberg''' is a [[Decapodian]] employed as staff doctor at [[Planet Express]]{{er|1ACV02}} and an honorary [[Globetrotter]].{{er|3ACV14}} He is only tolerated at Planet Express because of his ability to cut things.{{er|6ACV14}} An extremely poor man and a doctor of art history,{{er|6ACV05}} he is still lovable to many and hated by others. He is also noted as the only [[alien]] member of the [[Planet Express crew]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Desperate for acceptance, Zoidberg lives with a continuing delusion that he is well regarded by the rest of the Planet Express crew. He does not seem to be very intelligent, but is rather nice and friendly (usually, but just don't get him angry). This is despite the fact that most of his co-workers look down on him, especially [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]], who likes to make his life even more miserable. Dr. Zoidberg is [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]'s oldest friend, which suggests that Zoidberg is much older than he appears. A citizen of [[Earth]], he loves his chosen home planet for the personal freedom it provides.{{er|4ACV05}} He is also apparently the only intelligent organism on [[Earth]] deemed nice by the [[Santa Claus|Robot Santa Claus]].{{er|2ACV04}} It is unknown why, but it may be because of a glitch in Santa or because of Zoidberg's kind and innocent personality. Other than the professor, the only people known to identify him as a friend are the members of the [[First Planet Express crew]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Mom]] and [[Marianne|his girlfriend]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Zoidberg.{{er|2ACV16}}]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
<br />
Dr. Zoidberg was born on [[Decapod 10]] and seems to have visited high school there, going to school together with and having a crush on [[Edna]].{{er|2ACV05}} During that time, his face was covered in barnacles, for which he was laughed at.<br />
<br />
As a youngster, Zoidberg wanted to become a comedian, following the footsteps of his uncle [[Harold Zoid]], but he was discouraged by his guardian,<ref>Decapodians die upon mating.{{er|2ACV05}} One theory suggests that barren females care for the newly hatched young.</ref> whereupon he developed an interest in medical science.{{er|3ACV08}} In spite of trying to win his surrounding's respect, he was then looked down on because of giving up his dream of being a comedian. 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. He never received a doctorate in medicine for humans, but in art history.{{er|6ACV05}} However, he started practicing human medicine nonetheless.He is however, very well researched in a vast majority of aliens.<br />
<br />
In [[2927]], Zoidberg met [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] while on a mission to capture a Tritonian [[yeti]] for [[Mom]]. During the mission, the Professor was infected with hypermalaria, which at the time, was thought to be impossible to cure. The Professor ended up saving Zoidberg from the yeti by killing it, and in exchange, Farnsworth pleaded that Zoidberg kill him as soon as the symptoms of hypermalaria started, so he wouldn't have to experience the horrible consequences.{{er|6ACV18}} Zoidberg agreed, leading to his employment at Planet Express in [[2961]], when it was founded.{{er|6ACV15}} <br />
<br />
[[File:Claw-Plach.png|thumb|left|225px|Zoidberg and his friend [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], battling in [[Claw-Plach]].{{er|2ACV05}}]]<br />
<br />
=== Later years ===<br />
<br />
Although his medical career meant giving up his dream of becoming a comedian, Zoidberg has since tried on occasion to be a freelance comedian of some sort, but lack the necessary talent and sense of humour. In his biggest try, he even had a minor part in [[Harold Zoid|his uncle]]'s film ''[[The Magnificent Three]]'' in [[3003]].<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]].{{er|2ACV07}} On another occasion, he tried to kill Fry in the Decapodian tradition of [[Claw-Plach]].{{er|2ACV05}} He has served as a military doctor in the conflict with [[Spheron 1]]{{er|2ACV17}} and defeated the Decapodian oppressors who had occupied Earth in response to Zoidberg being sentenced to death for eating [[Old Freebie|an Earthican flag]].{{er|4ACV05}} On one occasion he travelled through time to 1947 Roswell,{{er|3ACV16}} 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 vivisected before being rescued and returned to the [[31st century|future]] where he put his organs back in (except a non-vital one) and fixed himself with duct tape. <br />
<br />
In [[3011]], the rest of the [[Planet Express Crew|crew]] became fed up with Dr. Zoidberg's incompetence as a doctor, and demanded that the [[Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] fire him (6ACV18). However, the symptoms of hypermalaria had after several decades, finally began to infect him. Farnsworth approached Zoidberg and informed him that it was time to perform the mercy killing, only it needed to be by surprise. But before Zoidberg could carry out the act, the rest of the crew caught Zoidberg trying to kill the Professor and imprisoned him in his office, restraining him with the Professor's lab coat. On the coat, Zoidberg discovers a thin, white, [[yeti]] hair, and realizes that the Professor never had hypermalaria, but [[yetiism]], a dangerous disease with identical symptoms to hypermalaria, that turns the victim into a yeti. Shocked by this revelation, Zoidberg escapes and goes to the headquarters of [[Mom]], where he exchanges a coupon for a free tanning session for the disembodied head of a yeti. Zoidberg returns to the [[Planet Express headquarters]] just moments before the rest of the crew kill the Professor themselves, (after he revealed the truth to them) Zoidberg reveals to them that the Professor has yetiism, not hypermalaria. Using the pineal gland from the yeti's head, he creates an antidote and forces him to swallow it; just as the yeti transformation begins. The cure was successful, and the rest of the crew apologize to Zoidberg for treating him so poorly.<br />
<br />
By [[3013]], Zoidberg had gotten a job at [[Elzar's]].{{er|7ACV17}}<br />
<br />
Amazingly enough, by at some point in 3013, Zoidberg met [[Marianne|a flower girl]] and they began dating.{{er|7ACV25}}<br />

It is also possible that Decapodians have three biological parents. He referred to one of them (his mother) as a saint, which was most likely just an expression. Non-[[canon]]ically, his parents' original intentions were for him to become a Lawyer.<sup>[[Claw and Order|[US#048]]]</sup><br />
*[[Harold Zoid]], uncle.{{er|3ACV08}}<br />
*His brother [[Norman Zoidberg|Norman]] and up to nine other siblings that budded from Zoidberg during the coral stage of his larval stadium. A duplicate Norman dies when he is sucked into the [[Fountain of Aging]], but all other siblings are never mentioned again.{{er|4ACV09}}<br />

== Production ==<br />
[[File:Zoidberg lab.jpg|right|thumb|Production pic of Zoidberg's lab.]]<br />
The original inspiration and the basic traits and characteristics were developed by [[David X. Cohen]],<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Series Has Landed |volume=One |disc=1}}</ref> while the cartoon design was created by [[Matt Groening]]. The later refinement and addition of various traits came from the various [[:Category:Writers|writers]].<ref name="epPYHOMS-com-kk">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Keeler|Ken}} |episode=Put Your Head on My Shoulders |volume=Two |disc=2}}</ref><br />
<br />
Cohen's name for Dr. Zoidberg came from a video game he had developed during the [[1980s]], called "Zoid",<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> which was largely inspired by the popular arcade game {{w|Qix}}.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=That's Lobstertainment! |volume=Three |disc=2}}</ref> Cohen tried to get the then famous publisher {{w|Brøderbund}} to publish the game.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc"/> Unfortunately, Brøderbund refused to publish Cohen's assembly-written game, and he shelved it.<ref name="epTL-com-dxc"/> Dr. Zoidberg was thus named to honour those wasted years in college.<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/><br />
<br />
Cohen's inspiration came from {{st|Bones McCoy}} from ''[[Star Trek]]'', the doctor on the ''{{st|U.S.S. Enterprise}}''. Bones was often faced with treating aliens and other non-humans, including {{st|Spock}}.<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> Cohen's idea for Zoidberg was the exact opposite, where an alien would perform on humans.<ref name="epTSHL-com-dxc"/> Zoidberg's trait of being a bad doctor was then established.<ref name="epPYHOMS-com-kk"/><br />
<br />
Later traits, such as his lust for seafood, became apparent in "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]". More demeaning traits such as being poor and lonely came in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulders]]"; eating garbage and being homeless appeared later as well.<br />
<br />
Certain contradicting situations can be seen in "[[A Flight to Remember]]", where Zoidberg is seen being given a suite, something that the writers would not give him in the later course of the series.<ref name="epAFTR-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=A Flight to Remember |volume=One |disc=3}}</ref><br />
<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
[[Billy West]] has often stated that the voice of Zoidberg was inspired by profile actors from Yiddish theater such as Lou Jacobi and George Jessel.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Zoidberg is featured both on disc 7 of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]'' and on the cover for [[Volume 7]]. He is also featured on one of the discs of Volume 7.<br />
*Zoidberg's E-mail is: zoidberg@freemail.web.{{citation needed}}<br />
*As the show progresses, Zoidberg's apparent utility becomes less obvious, and the Planet Express staff shun his presence from one instance to another.<br />
*As with all Decapodians, Zoidberg's mannerisms, speech, and personality are representative of dry East Coast humor readily seen in Jewish communities.<br />
*He claims to have lost his medical degree in a volcano. This, however, was an excuse for not having one to give to Cubert.<br />
*In earlier episodes he is animated with teeth, but in later episodes he is drawn without. His mouth frills are prehensile and can move independently, although most of the time they remain loose.<br />
*Is apparently his own medical corporation, as described on the door to his office.<br />
*Zoidberg has a top fin or crest on his head that appears at times of emotional duress, such as "[[Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?]]" and ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''. It seems to be linked to his species' equivalent to testosterone, as it appears to be linked to both aggression and arousal, as shown in ''[[Bender's Game]]'' and "[[Attack of the Killer App]]". Also, the fin appears when he remembers a forgotten event. The crest, referred to by Amy as "cockateiling", has been shown on one occasion to occur just before a traumatic event, allowing Zoidberg to predict danger, but not with enough notice to do anything about it. <br />
*His greatest fantasy is to be a grandmother ("Subjugated yet honored!").<br />
*Hermes from the earliest episodes seems to harbor a bitter hatred toward Zoidberg, never explained or given a rationale. This starts in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]", when Hermes states someone (in fact Bender was addicted to it) has been using a lot of electricity, then blames Zoidberg who exclaims "MEEE?" Hermes later removes the office's salt-water cooler to save money, prompting Zoidberg to blurt out, "This is a witch-hunt!"<br />
[[File:Zoidberg office.jpg|right|thumb|Zoidberg in his office with Fry.{{er|6ACV18}}]]<br />
*An [[Zoidberg (Cornwood)|alternate version]] of him as a blob-like creature appears in ''[[Bender's Game]]'', although he begins as an innocent Dungeon Monster.<br />
*In the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/ween08.html Halloween 2008] cartoon of [http://homestarrunner.com Homestar Runner], the Poopsmith is dressed as Zoidberg. Also, if you click him at the end of the toon, the King of Town uses the phrase "[[Good news, everyone]]."<br />
*Apparently likes [[Barbados Slim]] (Although he says he likes a lot of people, possibly a catchphrase).<br />
*He has been shown to cough up colorful beads after eating copious amounts of dirt, which can be sold to make money. This is only seen in the episode "[[Bendin' in the Wind]]".<br />
[[File:Zoidberg promo.png|right|thumb|Zoidberg reading a book entitled ''Diseases of the Claw and Egg Sac''.]]<br />
*It is revealed in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]" that his doctorate is in Art History.<br />
*His [[birthday]] is the day after Amy's.{{er|3ACV14}}<br />
*His claws and exoskeleton are incredibly strong and resilient. His claws can cut through human flesh, bone, and even some metals while his exoskeleton is impervious to knives and swords.<br />
*He is first mentioned to be desperately poor in the episode "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulders]]".<br />
*In "[[Insane in the Mainframe]]", it is said he started working in Planet Express in [[2992]], though in "[[Möbius Dick]]", he is seen working since the start, around [[2961]].<br />
**Possible that he is fired and rehired to avoid paying out benefits.<br />
***The Professor's senilty and Hermes' not caring may also be the explanation.<br />
*Grows brown hair that usually turns white immediately in cases of extreme fear (as shown in "[[Möbius Dick]]").<br />
*He is noted by Farnsworth to be a "doctor for aliens", often gives mistaken diagnoses on Fry and Bender that may apply to other species, and has demonstrated knowledge of alien physiology (as shown in "[[The Tip of the Zoidberg]]"). This may suggest he qualified as a doctor on Decapod 10. He was also described as a "medical doctor" by the [[Contrabulous Choosematron]], implying he may be qualified in some form as a doctor. <br />
* Interesting, the only thing about being a doctor Zoidberg seems to know about is reattaching limbs, as he does this several times.{{er|2ACV05|2ACV07|BBS|space=no}}<br />
*He has shown infrequent romantic interest in human men, thought this probably means nothing as he is repeatedly unable to differentiate between human genders.<br />
*In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' he was crowned Prince of Bageria by the [[Scammer Aliens|Scammers]]. Although it's obivously a scam, Zoidberg still fell for it.<br />
*Zoidberg appears to think humans have multiple mouths, dorsal fins. He also can't tell humans apart from robots and males from females. He also thinks that food is digested in the heart.<br />
*Several of Zoidberg's internal organs are either redundant or vestigial. In "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]", he is vivisected by scientists who know nothing of his physiology and leaves one of his hearts behind.<br />
*He may be a fan of Scooby-Doo, as he said "Well gang, it looks like we have another mystery on our hands.", a catchphrase of Fred.{{er|3ACV06}}<br />
*According to the [[Contrabulous Choosematron]], Zoidberg is "delicious with butter and lemon",{{er|7ACV02}} though this could be a gag since those two do work well with lobster.<br />
*He can harmonize with himself, possibly with two sets of vocal cords.<br />
*He is one of three current crew members of Planet Express that have worked for Mom in some capacity, the other two being Farnsworth and Hermes.<br />

=== Catchphrases and running jokes ===<br />
[[File:Zoidberg 7ACV19.png|thumb|225px|Zoidberg as [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the berry burglar]]'s monster.{{er|7ACV19}}]]<br />
*(At inappropriate times) Hello.<br />
*Sometimes he will (with a grin) exclaim "What an honor!"{{er|3ACV19}}<br />
*Excellent, excellent!<br />
*(Famous person)? I love that guy!<br />
*Woop woop woop woop!{{iiw}} (This sound effect is based on sound effects made by The Three Stooges.)<br />
*Hooray!<br />
*Dibs on...! or alternative forms of calling dibs on something. Zoidberg usually comes late to Bender (for Leela's [[iPod]] in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' and the ship's shotgun in "[[Parasites Lost]]") or [[Amy]] (for Leela's maid of honor in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'')<br />
*(Depressed, after being insulted, ignored, or one-upped) Awwww...<br />
<br />
Also, he is usually shown to be highly unintelligent when it comes to being a doctor, such as thinking that Amy is the father of Leela's [[popplers|poppler]], that humans have multiple mouths, that Fry is a robot, and that humans digest food in their hearts. More so, he often mistakes the human penis for other objects, especially that of Hermes. The closest he has ever been to showing competence in the field of human medical science was in "[[Parasites Lost]]", but only because he saw it in a commercial.<br />
<br />

'''Amy Wong''', '''Ph.D.''', is a human from [[Mars]] who is of Chinese descent, sole heir to half the planet, and a Doctor of Applied Physics. She is a primary character and is known as a klutz and socialite. She is always seen wearing her pink outfit pictured to the right, because of the pressure from her extremely wealthy parents to look smart and presentable but she doesn't like this idea.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Amy is friendly and easily gets along with others but she is also a bit of a klutz. She has attracted a fair few men in her time, most notably [[Kif Kroker]], her [[fonfon ru]]. Amy also appears to have some level of vanity and is concerned about her appearance. She is engaged in a constant low-intensity feud with [[Turanga Leela]], the only other female at Planet Express, whom she often accuses of not being ladylike enough to be a true woman. Even so, they remain friends.<br />
<br />
Despite her usual intelligence, Amy can be absent-minded. A notable example being removing [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg's]] restraints no less than eight times, despite injuries she endured each time. Amy also has little concept of money, having offered to pay more for a [[Beta Romeo|hovercar]] than its sticker price and needing to be reminded by Leela that $10,000 is more than $5,000.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Amy - Junior Champion.png|right|thumb|Mini-golf junior champion]]<br />
<br />
=== Early Life ===<br />
Amy Wong was raised by her parents, [[Leo and Inez Wong|Leo and Inez]], on [[Wong Ranch]], a farm that covers the entire western hemisphere of Mars. During her teenage years she had a weight problem, but enjoyed the perks that come from having rich parents such as having multiple ponies and a pet [[Betsy|buggalo]]. In her spare time Amy took up miniature golf in a failed attempt to impress her father, becoming a champion in tournaments.<br />
<br />
=== Mars University and an Internship ===<br />
Joining [[Mars University (Place)|Mars University]]'s student body, thanks to a donation from her parents, Amy began an engineering degree and joined the family sorority, Kappa Kappa Wong along with Sigma Beta. In [[2998]], while studying at MU she took an internship at [[Planet Express]], a company owned by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], one of her teachers. While the job involves engineering work, Amy would occasionally join the delivery crew on the [[Planet Express Ship|ship]], learning how to fly it and control the winch in order [[The Series Has Landed|to save]] the current crew.<br />
<br />
=== A chance meeting ===<br />
On [[A Flight to Remember|a company vacation]] aboard the [[Titanic]], Amy, in order to avoid having her parents set her up with [[bisque guy|an unpleasant fat man]], lied about currently having [[Philip J. Fry|a boyfriend]]. Fortunately for her, this ruse ended shortly before evacuating, and her parents finally set her up with someone she liked; the Titanic's new captain, [[Kif Kroker]]. After being dropped off back at Planet Express by her [[Amphibiosans|Amphibiosan]] love interest, he became too nervous to talk to her and instead began calling and hanging up, which he did for an entire year. They also managed to avoid seeing each other during his brief stint as the company's ship's First Mate. Amy moved on and resumed dating other men, including [[Put Your Head on My Shoulders|a short term romance]] with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], which ended with his head surgically attached to her body. Fortunately, his body was soon repaired and the head was put back in place.<br />
<br />
Eventually, after one of Kif's failed phone calls, [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] used the couple for a chance to get close to [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]. Zapp crashed and burned, taking the restaurant-ship with him, but [[Kif-Amy relationship|Kif and Amy's relationship]] managed to begin anew. Despite having introduced them, Amy's parents did not approve of Kif when she brought him home for [[Mars Day]] and although he later saved her life when she was kidnapped by the [[Native Martians]], they didn't believe it.<br />
<br />
=== Long distance relationship ===<br />
Due to Kif's [[DOOP|career]], the couple were forced to maintain the relationship long distance. Amy spent this time at work, [[Bendin' in the Wind|following a band on tour]] and becoming an honourary [[Globetrotters|Globetrotter]] but eventually decided to sneak on board the Planet Express ship and steal it while the crew was sleeping. This rendezvous led to Kif's impregnation, which almost split the couple up, but once it became clear that they would remain in a swamp for twenty years to develop into children, she came around. Not too long after this she [[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles|became a child again]] herself due to an accident at a health spa, and may have come out of the experience slightly younger than where she started. They continued to date, [[Three Hundred Big Boys|spending the day on a paddle plane]] or spending the night at a reception for the silk surplus.<br />
<br />
=== Fonfon Rubok ===<br />
[[File:Fonfon Rubok.png|right|thumb|Amy's and Kif's Fonfon Rubok]]<br />
In the following years Amy had grown her hair long until it was burned down to the previous length by [[Bender]]. Soon after became one of many victims of [[Scammer Aliens|scammers]] who took control of the whole of planet [[Earth]]. After the planet was reclaimed, Amy and Kif had a [[coinage#F|Fonfon Rubok]]; the marriage fell apart soon after, when Kif was killed by Zapp's incompetence. He was brought back, but after learning that she and Zapp had spent a night together, he left her.<br />
<br />
=== The golfing feminist ===<br />
Having long sought the approval of her father, she initially defended him against Leela for his views on women but eventually couldn't take the criticism, joining the [[Feministas]] to get back at him. The group's history leads to their arrest, but they are broken out by Bender and after Leo's plan is foiled, she is reunited with Kif as they and her co-workers escape from Zapp down a wormhole.<br />
<br />
=== Proposition Infinity ===<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being [[Rebirth|rebirthed]], Amy has a long fight with Kif that leads to their break-up when he cannot stand her flirting with bad boys. Supporting this theory, Amy starts a [[robosexuality|robosexual]] relationship with [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], and they decide to marry and votes to [[Proposition Infinity|legalize robosexual marriage]]. However Bender leaves her upon realising she wants a monogamous wedding, and she returns to Kif, who now has turned a bad boy for her.<br />
<br />
=== Doctor of Applied Physics ===<br />
[[File:Dr. Amy Wong.jpg|right|thumb|Amy's graduation from Mars University]]<br />
In 3010, having worked as an intern for twelve years, Amy presented her thesis to the Professors at [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]]. She fails to get her doctorate the first time, but it is revealed that [[Professor Morris Katz]], one of the Professors that failed her, was actually an alien cat who then stole the [[Earth]]'s rotational energy using the very device Amy had just designed and been failed for. Amy used her skills as a scientist to solve the problem by causing the Earth to rotate in the opposite direction and earn her PhD in applied physics. Despite this achievement, however, she stays at [[Planet Express]] after [[Professor Fisherprice Shpeekenshpell]] describes the job market as "rough".<br />

<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Amy promo.png|right|thumb|Amy Wong]]<br />
*Amy's E-mail is: awong79@marslinK.web<br />
*Amy's parents always want grandchildren but Amy is the adoptive mother of Kif's children.<br />
*Aside from [[Scruffy]], [[Nibbler]], and the [[Planet Express Ship]], she is the only [[Planet Express]] employee to not have her name in an episode title.<br />
*Amy is a notorious klutz. She loses things, is the victim/cause of many accidents, and frequently falls over or trips on things.<br />
*Before she met Kif, Amy had many boyfriends and often made Leela jealous or angry of her looks.<br />
*At Mars U., Amy was a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Wong and was an engineering student of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]].<br />
*On two occasions, she has had a relationship with [[Fry]]. (''see [[Fry-Amy relationship]] for more info'')<br />
*Despite being socially aware and 'bubbly', she is a bit of a ditz and suffers from her own naivete (physically and socially) in many episodes.<br />
*Speaks [[Yeti language|Yeti]].<br />
*Like [[Amy's parents|her parents]], when she gets mad or frustrated, she starts speaking {{w|Cantonese}}, a Chinese dialect; however, Lauren Tom has made mistakes and {{w|Mandarin}} occasionally slips in {{et6|1ACV02|2ACV12|3ACV01|BBS|ItWGY|6ACV08}}.<br />
*Is an honorary [[Globetrotter]].<br />
*Is the only staff member not seen in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]].<br />
*Has several tattoos at various places, including at least four [[Talking Tattoo|talking tattoos]] (one on her upper right arm and three presumably on her buttock (she also has a tattoo of [[Inez Wong|her mother]] on her ass) one of which neighs like a horse) and one [[Amy's Obscene Tattoo|obscene tattoo]] on her left upper arm, which cannot be viewed on a standard definition TV. A drink recipe commemorating her tattoo can be found [http://www.idrink.com/v.html?id=6934 here.]<br />
*Has the same blood type as [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. This is probably the only reason Professor Farnsworth keeps her around {{et1|1ACV02}}.<br />
*Has a pet [[Buggalo]] named [[Betsy]].<br />
*An alternate version of her named [[Gynecaladriel]] appeared in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*Her email is awong79@marslink.web, suggesting she is born in 2979.<br />
*Is highly allergic to cats.<br />
*Had cuteness-reduction surgery {{et1|3ACV09}}.<br />
*Her star sign is {{w|Sagittarius (astrology)|Sagittarius}}, which puts her birth date in late November or early to mid December.<br />
**Except that on 1st December 2979 the Sun as seen from Mars is on the border between Virgo and Leo. Sagittarius is on the opposite side of the sky. Of course one shouldn't expect astrology to have anything to do with the actual positions of objects in the sky, but still...<br />
*According to "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", she has been an employee at Planet Express since at least 2992. If her birth year is in fact 2979, that would mean she won Employee of the Year at the age of 13.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase and running jokes ===<br />
Amy doesn't have a specific catchphrase, but frequently spouts futuristic slang in place of common modern colloqiualisms, the most common being one that replaces "Duh!".<br />
Variations include:<br />
*Guh! {{et3|1ACV02|1ACV04|1ACV06}}<br />
*Buh! {{et2|1ACV04|2ACV10}}<br />
*Fluh! {{et1|2ACV04}}<br />
*Spluh! {{et3|2ACV07|4ACV15|BBS}}<br />
*Abraca-Duh! {{et1|3ACV18}}<br />
*Guh-oh. {{et1|6ACV04}}<br />
*Shmich! {{et1|4ACV16}}<br />
*What the shmell happened? {{et2|6ACV09|6ACV11}}<br />
*You must be pretty glorked off. {{et1|7ACV03}}<br />
<br />
In the same vein, Amy also routinely utters variations on the word "Sheesh!", for example, "Spleesh!" Being the only young, hip character on the show, this constantly shifting slang is obviously a nod to the constantly changing "cool things to say" that pop culture tosses around and then tosses aside over time.<br />
<br />
Also, whenever she falls or slips, she screams and the same soundbite is used each time. The sound of something breaking usually follows.<br />
She also frequently comments on Leela's looks or hygiene in a very tactless, catty and often insulting way.<br />
<br />
She also has a habit of denying a strange thing if people comment on her. In "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Nibbler runs away with her bra, and the professor hands her a can to spray a new bra on. After spraying a new bra on, she asks the professor how she looks. The professor says that she looks like a cheap [[France|French]] harlot, to which she denyingly and a bit angrily replies: "''French''?" In "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]", the Amy of [[universe 1]] calls her evil and shallow, to which she replies: "I am ''not'' evil!"<br />
<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
[[File:Amy promo.png|right|thumb|Amy Wong]]<br />
*Amy's E-mail is: awong79@marslinK.web<br />
*Amy's parents always want grandchildren but Amy is the adoptive mother of Kif's children.<br />
*Aside from [[Scruffy]], [[Nibbler]], and the [[Planet Express Ship]], she is the only [[Planet Express]] employee to not have her name in an episode title.<br />
*Amy is a notorious klutz. She loses things, is the victim/cause of many accidents, and frequently falls over or trips on things.<br />
*Before she met Kif, Amy had many boyfriends and often made Leela jealous or angry of her looks.<br />
*At Mars U., Amy was a member of the sorority Kappa Kappa Wong and was an engineering student of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]].<br />
*On two occasions, she has had a relationship with [[Fry]]. (''see [[Fry-Amy relationship]] for more info'')<br />
*Despite being socially aware and 'bubbly', she is a bit of a ditz and suffers from her own naivete (physically and socially) in many episodes.<br />
*Speaks [[Yeti language|Yeti]].<br />
*Like [[Amy's parents|her parents]], when she gets mad or frustrated, she starts speaking {{w|Cantonese}}, a Chinese dialect; however, Lauren Tom has made mistakes and {{w|Mandarin}} occasionally slips in {{et6|1ACV02|2ACV12|3ACV01|BBS|ItWGY|6ACV08}}.<br />
*Is an honorary [[Globetrotter]].<br />
*Is the only staff member not seen in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]].<br />
*Has several tattoos at various places, including at least four [[Talking Tattoo|talking tattoos]] (one on her upper right arm and three presumably on her buttock (she also has a tattoo of [[Inez Wong|her mother]] on her ass) one of which neighs like a horse) and one [[Amy's Obscene Tattoo|obscene tattoo]] on her left upper arm, which cannot be viewed on a standard definition TV. A drink recipe commemorating her tattoo can be found [http://www.idrink.com/v.html?id=6934 here.]<br />
*Has the same blood type as [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. This is probably the only reason Professor Farnsworth keeps her around {{et1|1ACV02}}.<br />
*Has a pet [[Buggalo]] named [[Betsy]].<br />
*An alternate version of her named [[Gynecaladriel]] appeared in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*Her email is awong79@marslink.web, suggesting she is born in 2979.<br />
*Is highly allergic to cats.<br />
*Had cuteness-reduction surgery {{et1|3ACV09}}.<br />
*Her star sign is {{w|Sagittarius (astrology)|Sagittarius}}, which puts her birth date in late November or early to mid December.<br />
**Except that on 1st December 2979 the Sun as seen from Mars is on the border between Virgo and Leo. Sagittarius is on the opposite side of the sky. Of course one shouldn't expect astrology to have anything to do with the actual positions of objects in the sky, but still...<br />
*According to "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", she has been an employee at Planet Express since at least 2992. If her birth year is in fact 2979, that would mean she won Employee of the Year at the age of 13.<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrase and running jokes ===<br />
Amy doesn't have a specific catchphrase, but frequently spouts futuristic slang in place of common modern colloqiualisms, the most common being one that replaces "Duh!".<br />
Variations include:<br />
*Guh! {{et3|1ACV02|1ACV04|1ACV06}}<br />
*Buh! {{et2|1ACV04|2ACV10}}<br />
*Fluh! {{et1|2ACV04}}<br />
*Spluh! {{et3|2ACV07|4ACV15|BBS}}<br />
*Abraca-Duh! {{et1|3ACV18}}<br />
*Guh-oh. {{et1|6ACV04}}<br />
*Shmich! {{et1|4ACV16}}<br />
*What the shmell happened? {{et2|6ACV09|6ACV11}}<br />
*You must be pretty glorked off. {{et1|7ACV03}}<br />
<br />
In the same vein, Amy also routinely utters variations on the word "Sheesh!", for example, "Spleesh!" Being the only young, hip character on the show, this constantly shifting slang is obviously a nod to the constantly changing "cool things to say" that pop culture tosses around and then tosses aside over time.<br />
<br />
Also, whenever she falls or slips, she screams and the same soundbite is used each time. The sound of something breaking usually follows.<br />
She also frequently comments on Leela's looks or hygiene in a very tactless, catty and often insulting way.<br />
<br />
She also has a habit of denying a strange thing if people comment on her. In "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Nibbler runs away with her bra, and the professor hands her a can to spray a new bra on. After spraying a new bra on, she asks the professor how she looks. The professor says that she looks like a cheap [[France|French]] harlot, to which she denyingly and a bit angrily replies: "''French''?" In "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]", the Amy of [[universe 1]] calls her evil and shallow, to which she replies: "I am ''not'' evil!"<br />

'''Bender Bending Rodriguez''' (Model: '''[[bending units|bending unit]] 22''') is a bending unit (serial number: 2716057), 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 {{w|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 />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
Bender is often selfish and insensitive to other people's emotions. At one point, he flushed Leela's beloved pet Nibbler down the toilet. He is also quite vain, frequently bragging about how great he is. Bender has no qualms about committing crimes and often steals people's wallets or items from shops. He loves smoking and drinking, though as a robot he has to drink alcohol to keep him going. (The cigars just make him look cool.) Bender can also be cruel at times and even sometimes treats his own friends badly. He is also extremely lazy, and is often seen sitting around on the couch drinking a beer and/or watching television.<br />
<br />
However, he is capable of caring for others and is close friends with Leela and Fry, even though he often acts obnoxious and mean towards them. Bender seems genuinely happy for Leela when she is reunited with her long lost parents and was devastated when he is ordered to kill Fry in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''. Considering he is still upset when he returns to the future it's possible he might have been mourning Fry for nearly a thousand years.<br />
<br />
[[File:Countessdelaroca.png|thumb|right|Countess de la Roca {{et|1ACV10}}, one of the fembots he had a relationship with.]]<br />
<br />
Bender also has a fair few romantic relationships with fembots, such as [[Countess de la Roca]] and [[Angleyne]]. Bender can be quite emotional at times, despite stating that robots aren't supposed to have emotions, and is empathic towards turtles since they have hard shells and have difficulty getting up if they fell on their backs, two things they share in common with Bender. He also becomes the leader of a group of penguins at one point. Bender also idolised the Harlem Globetrotters and wanted to become one of them and started crying when they refused to let him join.<br />
<br />
Bender also loves cooking though he had little talent for it and would often cook things that were either inedible or just barely edible. In certain episodes however, he has been able to make food successfully, making a cake for Nibbler's birthday party which was promptly eaten by the Nibblonian.<br />
<br />
As a robot, Bender has quite a lot of abilities. He is able to stretch his arms long distances as well as record data in his head, once using this to get Richard Nixon to give him back his body. He also breathes fire whenever he burps and when he is terrified he sometimes ejects bricks from his backside which is his variant of defecation. (This is a reference to the slang phrase, to "s**t bricks", meaning to be very scared or surprised.) Although he usually only does this while in a state of shock, he has also done it after eating an {{w|Olestra}} potato chip from the 20th century. Bender is also very strong, even managing to bend a supposedly [[unbendable girder]]. <br />
<br />
Bender is able to remove numerous parts of his body such as his head, arms, legs and even eyes. When he is staring at something or someone his eyes frequently extended out of his head. Like turtles he can withdraw into his chest when he chooses to. Bender can also survive in lava for a short time, though when he displays this ability his eyes melted as soon as he came out of the lava. Bender's body has also been used as a popcorn maker {{et|1ACV05}}, crock pot {{et|6ACV23}}, and steam engine (6ACV23).<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Montholdbender.png|thumb|left|Bender when he was only a month old {{et|2ACV14}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
Bender Bending Rodriguez was built in [[Tijuana]], Mexico in the early [[2990s]], although he believed it was in [[2998]], by [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]]. He has a fatal defect leaving him as mortal as a human. This seems almost impossible, as he is known to have time-traveled to the past (using the time code) and wait until the normal time again, which would make him thousands of years old. He lacks the hardware necessary for him to save a copy of his software daily, so unlike other bending units, if he begins to die, he cannot upload his data to another body. Nevertheless, his body is still extremely tough. Tough enough that he survived a small-scale nuclear war on his body with no harm, and only a tickling sensation {{et|3ACV20}}. Inspector 5 ([[Hermes]]) knew of the defect but let him live. There is some speculation about what happened in the following two years, but he briefly studied Bending at Bending State University, which may or may not be the facility he was built in. He minored in Robo-American Studies.<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 31 December, 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 him escape through the [[Head Museum]] and soon down to [[Old New York]] below [[New New York]]. Here Leela finally caught up with them and agreed to help Fry. Bender decided to stay with them and they headed over to Fry's nephew, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. Farnsworth soon offered them jobs, and luckily for them, he had the proper career chips.<br />
<br />
=== Farnsworth's asset ===<br />
As an employee at Planet Express he continued his kleptomania, drinking and smoking. He convinced Fry to [[I, Roommate|move in with him]] at his [[Apartment 00100100|apartment]] 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 only served to make him more annoying to his friends. So they decided to make Bender sin to become his regular self again, inadvertently condemning him to [[Robot Hell]]. Feeling guilty, Fry and Leela tracked Bender down and saved him from the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
<br />
Bender has, in fact, found true love before, in the form of an aristocratic fembot, the [[Countess de la Roca]], whose relationship with him strongly resembled that of the protagonists of the movie ''{{w|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}''. When the ''[[Titanic]]'' ship was being sucked into a black hole (due to [[Zapp Brannigan]] altering the ship's course), she was the only passenger to go down with it. But, despite this, 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 />
[[File:Bender.png|thumb|right|180px|An older promotional picture of Bender.]]<br />
<br />
=== The lesser of two evils ===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
During a visit to [[Past-O-Rama]] they bumped into [[Flexo]] (serial number: 3370318), 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, on the condition that he had to spend one night within its walls. 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 />
=== Now when I'm found in a million years, people 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, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who went temporarily insane. He got to go on tour with [[Beck]] after becoming paralysed from a freak accident with a can opener, thus fulfilling his dream of becoming a folk-singer, became Pharaoh of an entire planet, driving everyone (including Fry and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]) into slavery, and beat [[Elzar]] on the [[television]] show ''[[Iron Cook]]''. However, he did not accept the title of Iron Cook, only the lesser title of Zinc Saucier (which he made up, and comes with double prize money).<br />
<br />
During a battle with [[Space Pirates]], Bender was 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 viciously killed each other in a nuclear war, started by Bender's need for booze, Bender met up with the [[Galactic Entity]], who he believes ''is'' God. The Entity eventually sent Bender back to [[Earth]] after receiving a radio signal from Fry.<br />
<br />
=== I should not be allowed on TV! ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Bender-TV.JPG|thumb|right|Bender as [[Antonio]] on ''[[All My Circuits]]'' {{et|4ACV06}}.]]<br />
<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 learned 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 the war was won (with the help of Hermes), 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 give him a "robotomy". But during the operation, the [[dark matter]] crystals becomes close enough, allowing Bender's imagination 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 [[Great Wizard Greyfarn|Greyfarn]], where they learn of the story behind the Die. Titanius is slightly against the quest, but decides to tag 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, [[Fellowship]] decides to seek [[Wipe Castle]] for help. Unfortunately, the [[King of Cornwood]] is insane, and the entire royal army is gone, because the king declared war on scallops, tied the entire army to a rock, and pushed them into the ocean. 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. However, they are too late and Momon wins the battle, causing them to return to their world.<br />
<br />
=== I'm...so...GREAT!! ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
Bender takes a trip to [[Mars Vegas]] with the rest of the crew. There, he falls in love with [[Fanny]], a burlesque dancer, who is the [[Donbot]]'s wife. He enters the [[Universal Poker Championship]] Tournament for her and wins against Fry with five kings.<br />
<br />
After returning to Earth, Bender feels upset that the [[Feministas]] are committing more felonies than him. He gets hired by [[Zapp Brannigan]] to help him capture the Feministas. By getting Bender to wire tap Fry's "cellphone-telephone" Zapp finds out where the Feministas are hiding and chases them aboard the [[Nimbus]], along with Bender and [[Kif Kroker|Kif]]. After an exciting space chase, Bender captures the Feministas and goes against them in court. They are found guilty and sent to [[Maxi-Padlock]] Prison.<br />
<br />
Bender then breaks into the women's prison and helps the Feministas escape, because by doing so, he would have committed way more felonies than the women. He bends a brick wall and calls Farnsworth, who pilots the Planet Express Ship down to rescue them from the prison's forces. They crash a demolition ceremony, and in the end, Bender is sent through a [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]] with the rest of the Planet Express Crew.<br />
<br />
=== Dying sucks butt! ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being rebirthed {{et|6ACV01}}, Bender starts a [[robosexual]] relationship with [[Amy Wong|Amy]] {{et|6ACV04}}, after [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] dumps her for flirting with criminal inmates, despite his previously affirming that "[[Humans]] dating [[Robots]] is sick" {{et|3ACV15}}. Amy and Bender decided to marry, and manage to pass [[Proposition ∞|a proposition]] to legalize robosexual marriage. However, Bender leaves her upon realizing she wants a monogamous marriage. He participated in a [[Sith Invasion re-enactment|re-enactment of the Sith-il War]], after which he learned that he was built without a back-up unit {{et|6ACV06}}. He then goes with [[Hermes Conrad]] to determine why. Despite failing to do so, Bender uses the experience to reaffirm his stance on life. <br />
<br />
Later, Bender witnesses robots undergoing evolution on a [[Robo-planetoid|deserted planetoid]] {{et|6ACV09}}. He was nearly killed after [[Mind-switcher|switching bodies]] with a [[Emperor Nikolai|Robo-Hungarian Emperor]] {{et|6ACV10}}. Later, he threw a [[100th Delivery Party|party celebrating Planet Express' 100th delivery]] {{et|6ACV12}}. After abruptly ending the party, Bender participated in the [[Devolution Revolution]], using his expertise to bend the [[Westside Pipeway]]. <br />
<br />
When the crew crashes on [[Neutopia (planet)|a gender-neutral planet]], everyone's genders are switched in a freak accident and Bender resumes his feminine [[Coilette]] persona before the genders are corrected {{et|6ACV20}}. He then runs havok with the Professor's duplicator, creating exponentially miniature versions of himself that almost consume Earth but later band together to save it from [[Unattractive giant monster|a hideous monster]] {{et|6ACV17}}, though he dies soon afterward when a [[suicide booth]] murders him {{et|6ACV19}}. Bender lingers as a ghost but bargains with the [[Robot Devil]] to get his material body back in exchange for [[Fry]]. He attempts to scare him to death, but when Fry discloses his love for Bender, Bender refuses to kill Fry and ends up protecting him. [[Robot God]] then invites Bender to an existence in Robot Heaven as his reward, but Bender declines and returns to the crew.<br />
<br />
After crashing a [[Robot Mafia]] wedding and making out with [[Bella]], [[Donbot]]'s daughter, Bender is forced to enter the witness relocation program {{et|6ACV14}}, and [[Francis X. Clampazzo|Clamps]] replaces him at work as an in for the Mafia to discover Bender's whereabouts and kill him. The crew is led to the [[Moon]] to [[Billy West (robot)|a hillbilly robot]] identical to Bender, but Bender is discovered to be in hiding as a waiter at the [[Family Bros. Pizza|pizza parlor]] across the street, and returns to work when the Mafia takes him for dead.<br />
<br />
=== A new child ===<br />
{{further|Season 7}}<br />
<br />
[[File:The Bots and the Bees screenshot.png|thumb|right|Bender and his son [[Ben]] {{et|7ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
In [[3012]], Planet Express acquired a new soda machine named [[Bev]]. They did not get along very well, but a fight of theirs eventually culminated in sex. The next day, Bev gave birth to Bender's child. Bender did not take this well, worrying over his fatherhood and eventually learning about robot reproduction for the first time, as his mother's religious fundamentalism kept her from teaching him this information. He attempted to give custody of the child to Bev, presenting her with a certificate of abandonment, but she too did not take having a child well, and she left Bender with custody of the child. Though he was initially disappointed over this, he eventually discovered that his child took an interest in bending. Naming the child [[Ben Rodriguez|Ben]], they formed a bond with each other, but to their surprise, discovered that Ben's lack of arm control software and an additional expansion slot prevented him from bending. At Ben's Bot-Mitzvah, Ben expressed for his appreciation for his father as well as his hopes of bending just like him. At the ceremony, however, Bev regained custody of Ben, separating him from his father. That night, Bender broke Ben out of [[Bev's trailer]], but were caught in their escape by the police, who arrested Bender on grounds of kidnapping. Bev showed up at the scene and gave birth to [[Bev and URL's child|another child]], and content with having another child to neglect, allowed Bender to keep Ben. Ben, however, was still disappointed in not being unable to bend, so he takes up an offer by the Professor to have a bending card installed in him - consequently losing all his memories of Bender. Bender, though tearful, allowed the surgery to go on, and eventually accompanied his son to his enrollment at [[Bending State University]] in Santa Cruz {{et|7ACV01}}.<br />
<br />
He later briefly worked as a paparazzo for ''[[Us People]]'' magazine {{et|7ACV04}}.<br />
<br />
In [[3013]], Bender entered [[NNY Recreation Center|a tap-dance contest]] {{et|7ACV25}}.<br />
<br />
=== Ruler of Earth ===<br />
After Nixon's fourth term in office began, things went downhill for the Earthican population to the point when robots began doing all the tedious labor and consequently, they began a rebellion led by Bender {{et|7ACV03}}. At some point between 3014 and 3028 Bender became ruler of Earth and started killing humans, thus fulfilling his life-long desire.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
=== Composition ===<br />
Bender routinely claims to be made of thirty to forty percent of various metals, typically following his claims up by knocking on his own chassis. Unfortunately, his credibility on this matter is thrown into question by the fact that his various claims now add up to well over one hundred percent. Bender has alternately claimed to be:<br />
<br />
*40% zinc {{et|1ACV13}}<br />
*40% titanium {{et|A Head in the Polls}}<br />
*30% iron {{et|The 30% Iron Chef}} - Presumably mixed with osmium. {{et|3ACV17}}<br />
*40% dolomite {{et|4ACV07}}<br />
*40% lead ([[Futurama (video game)|FVG]]) - Canon status of video game uncertain.<br />
*40% luck/horseshoes ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]) - Composition of the horseshoes unknown.<br />
*40% chromium {{et|Attack of the Killer App}} - Bender was not the one to make this claim, it was an [[Antarian]].<br />
*60% storage space {{et|The Prisoner of Benda}}<br />
*40% scrap metal {{et|All the Presidents' Heads}}<br />
*40% wire {{et|Decision 3012}}<br />
*40% empty {{et|Free Will Hunting}}<br />
*40% ass {{et|Naturama}} - Non-[[canon]].<br />
<br />
In "[[Near-Death Wish]]", Bender states that a set of virtual adaptor caps stored inside of him (that he uses to get himself, Fry and Leela into [[Virtual Retirement]]) are "40% safe", but this probably wouldn't count as part of his composition. In "[[Assie Come Home]]", Bender's body (except for his eyes and mouth) is stolen, so he uses the help of Fry and Leela to retrieve it. After finding his head, antenna and torso, he says: "I'm 40% back, baby!". This is a combination of two of Bender's [[catchphrase]]s; one being him stating a percentage of what he is composed of, the other being "I'm back, baby!".<br />
<br />
Total: 150% - 370% or greater. The number is dependent on whether or not one counts various claims as true. First the "40% Horseshoes" claim, as the supposed horseshoes could have been made of one or more of the other metals previously stated (Titanium, Iron, or Lead), meaning that one could have been a restatement rather than a new figure. Second, it depends on whether or not he considers his storage space and wires to be part of the total percentage of himself, in which case the remaining 40% each that he often claims to be would constitute the rest of his body. Third, the claim of "40% Lead" is dependent on whether the video game can be considered canon. Fourth and finally, whether the claim of "40% Chromium" is accepted at all. This claim was not made by Bender but rather one of the Antarians. It is plausible that the claim is false and that it was just made to justify the in-progress cannibalization of Bender's body. All this can be considered false if we account for the fact that Bender often loses body parts, and it is possible that replacements have a differant substance mixture.<br />
<br />
Even if all previous points made are taken into account and only the first four claims were used, Bender's composition would be 150%, far more than what is possible. This error can be explained as due to Bender's being a poor calculator, making it plausible that he has given the wrong percentages {{et|3ACV09}}.<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 {{et|3ACV17}}.<br />
<br />
There's also a mention that robots are made from recycled beer cans and beer cans are made from recycled robots {{et|1ACV08}}, so depending on the year 3000 composition of beer cans, he may have a certain percentage of aluminum in his alloy.<br />
<br />
As a side note, ''{{w|Dolemite}}'' is also the title of a 1974 film. The film's main character, Dolemite, is a pimp who leads an army of hookers skilled in kung-fu.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072895/ IMDB - Dolemite]</ref> Bender has been a pimp many times throughout the series.<br />
<br />
This running gag is referenced in the title of the episode "[[Forty Percent Leadbelly]]".<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
[[File:Bender's Xmas 2.jpg|right|thumb|[[Bender's mother]], whom he refers to as his mommy {{et|2ACV04}}.]]<br />
*[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]], Bender's owner and the creator of the sports utility robot on which Bender and all/most other modern robots are based.<br />

*Uncle [[Vladimir]], who lived in [[Thermostadt]], capital of the [[Robo-Hungarian Empire]], and died at the ripe old age of 211.<br />
*[[Tandy]], Uncle Vladimir's son and hence Bender's [[list of cousins|cousin]].<br />
*Screwy Aunt Rita, who ''is'' a screw. (Note that Bender stated that he had an Aunt Rita during Leela's coma fantasy in the episode "[[The Sting]]", so this may not be true.)<br />

*[[Bender's guinea pig|His guinea pig]], who died off-screen prior to the [[V-GINY]]'s rampage {{et|6ACV02}}.<br />
*[[Hermes Conrad|Inspector 5]], Inspector at Mom's friendly robot plant in Tijuana, Mexico {{et|6ACV06}}.<br />
<br />
=== Relationships ===<br />
Although Bender has slept with numerous [[Fembot|Fembots]], his most notable relationships are (in order of appearance):<br />
*[[Lulubelle 7]] (possibly touched)<br />
*[[Daisy Mae 128k]] (possibly touched)<br />
*[[The Crushinator]] (romanced and slept with)<br />
*[[Countess de la Roca]]<br />
*[[Femputer]]<br />
*A penguin<br />
*[[Angleyne]]<br />
*[[Lucy Liu's head]]<br />
*[[Planet Express Ship]]<br />
*[[Calculon]] (after a sex-change)<br />
*[[Fanny]]<br />
*[[Amy Wong|Amy]]<br />
*[[Bella]]<br />
*[[Bev]]<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
According to himself, Bender was originally constructed in [[2998]], making him one year old when Fry met him in 2999, but several later discoveries supports the theory that he was in fact born earlier. Bender's memory as newborn is as a complete, fullgrown robot, but events in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" suggest that his current, fullgrown body merely was the final stage, and it is possible that Bender only remembers entering this final stage - what he considers being born. Or, the effects of the de-aging tar may have made him smaller somehow.<br />
<br />
In Season 6 episode "[[Lethal Inspection]]", it is revealed that Hermes supervised Bender's construction before getting the job in [[Planet Express]], and is seen much younger than he must have been in the late [[2990s]]. We also see that the state in which he was supervised - reminiscent of a human baby - much differs from the one Bender remembers from 2998. In "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", it can be shown that Hermes was already in the company in [[2993]], and thus Bender must have been born in that year at least, and possibly even earlier. However, Hermes might have quit, worked for Mom, and come back.<br />
<br />
[[File:Roswell that ends well.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The events of "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" aged Bender's head 1055 years ahead of his body.]]<br />
<br />
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 aging or the opposite, and fans largely regard his age to remain intact. In {{f|1}}, 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. An alternative theory could suggest when the time duplicates explode at the end of the first film, Bender is the same age he was at the end of the original run plus 995 years, as the Bender that went back 995 years in time to kill Fry is presumed to be the original and therefore wouldn't expire like the rest of them.<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 considered [[canon]].<br />
<br />
=== Durability ===<br />
Bender frequently displays incredible durability, to the point that he appears to be indestructible. He has been completely flattened, hit point-blank with a shotgun, had several chips removed from his severed head, then had his head [[Roswell That Ends Well|buried for over a thousand years]], had his lower torso melted from a cosmic electrical disturbance, been [[Godfellas|launched out of a torpedo tube then withstood atmospheric reentry]], [[Jurassic Bark|submerged himself in lava]], and been burned to nothing but his eyes and mouth after converting his body entirely into wood<br />
(though this was a [[Obsoletely Fabulous|dream]], but it is implied the dream could actually happen). In "[[Rebirth]]", after having been nearly eaten by a [[cyclophage]] and have a [[Doomsday Devices|doomsday device]] explode inside him, he remarks "What does it take to kill me?". A bomb has also exploded inside him in "[[War Is the H-Word]]" (twice). He survives being shot point-blank at [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|least]] [[Law and Oracle|three]] [[Benderama|times]] in Season 6, survived [[Neutopia|being completely melted]], was [[Ghost in the Machines|able to come out of Limbo after having been killed]] and [[The Tip of the Zoidberg|had his head sliced in half by spinning blades.]]<br />
<br />
However, as it's revealed in "[[Lethal Inspection]]", Bender was built without a backup unit. This means he can't download his personality or memories to another body, which he wanted to do if his original body got killed. Therefore, if his body is destroyed, he dies. As it turned out, [[Hermes Conrad|Inspector #5]] was the one responsible for mercifully approving Bender as a perfect robot, thus allowing him to live despite actually being a defective [[Robots|robot]].<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Bender is bending unit 22. "Bender Bending Rodriguez" has 22 letters.<br />
*Bender's e-mail address is: bender@iloveBender.com<br />
*It is recommended that he run on 5 gigawatts.<br />
*Interestingly enough, Bender appears to have been an entirely different [[Robot]] before having met Fry. They meet when Bender is (at the very least) guilty and willing to kill himself over his dismay at finding out that the girders he had been bending were for [[suicide booth]]s. However, after Bender bends the bars keeping them from escaping Leela, Bender declares that from then on he will live his life only for him and do only what he wants to do. This may, however, just be an overlook by the writers of the show simply for the sake of introducing Fry to the drastic changes the future has brought (booths that are as ubiqitous as phone booths for suicide; walking, talking Robots).<br />
**This sudden change could be explained by the electric shock Bender received shortly before bending the bars. Not only did it change his programming, it changed his opinions on various things.<br />
**A year later however, Bender presents a picture of himself when he was only a month old with a bottle of beer and a cigar {{et|2ACV14}}, showing he has always been a "precocious little scamp" {{et|3ACV06}}.<br />
***All robots need beer to function, and that may not have been a cigar.<br />
****It was probably a cigar. However, drinking and smoking do not necessarily mean he is amoral befor the electric shock. He smoked cigars from the very first episode, saying "they make me look cool".<br />
*He has been [[New New York v. Bender|charged]] for pimping.<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's head contains a {{w|MOS Technology 6502|6502 Microprocessor}} {{et|1ACV13}}, and his ass an {{w|Athlon II}} {{et|6ACV25}}. It is possible that inbetween the events of {{et|1ACV13}} and {{et|6ACV25}}, he got a processor change, which would make sense considering that the Athlon II was introduced in 2009. After Cubert overclocks Bender's ass, Bender discovers that he has "an extra processor in his compartment of mystery".<br />
*Bender dies at the end of both of his what-if scenarios in each Anthology of Interest and both have one of the characters saying "Goodnight, sweet prince" (Fry in the first and Farnsworth in the second) to Bender when he dies.<br />
*His self-destruct code is "1A2B3". However, this appears to cause only his head to self-destruct, leaving the rest of his body intact and functional. This is a reference to the self-destruct codes of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS) episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" and "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" movie. However, the final code that must be entered is "0 0 0 Destruct 0" which leads to the destruction.<br />
*Bender cannot have magnets attached to his head, or it will "screw up his inhibition unit", thus causing him to sing crazy variations of folk songs.<br />
*Apparently stole the Prime Minister of Norway's arm.<br />
*Despite Bender being made of various metals as hard as iron and titanium, [[humans]] and other organic organisms seem to have little to no difficulty harming his metal body using only their fists and feet.<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 />
*In addition, he seems to own the skeletal remains of Charlamagne, as shown in "[[Jurassic Bark]]".<br />
*Bender has Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fear of the number 666, as hinted in "[[The Honking]]".<br />
*Bender is the most evil robot 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 sentence in all 4 [[film]]s: "Well, we're boned" {{et|BBS}}, "I love you, meatbags!" {{et|TBwaBB}}, "Whip harder, Professor!" {{et|BG}}, "Into the breach, meatbags. Or not, whatever" {{et|ItWGY}}.<br />
*Bender's waste management facilities may convert material he consumes into bricks.<br />
*Bender's mighty robot powers allow him to get sick of things much quicker than humans.<br />
*Bender is said to be roughly 500 pounds in "[[Gender Bender]]" but in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' he says he is 2 tons. Despite this, he is shown as being easily lifted and carried by Fry in "[[Ghost in the Machines]]", suggesting that he may be significantly lighter than either of the above figures.<br />
*He goes into sleep mode whenever there is too much exposition.<br />
*Bender has appeared in ''[[Family Guy]]'', "[[The Simpsons]]", and ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''.<br />
*He has referred to his chest compartment as his "compartment of mystery" (6ACV25).<br />
*Bender was featured on the front cover of all the Futurama DVDs, until [[Volume 6]].<br />
*In March 2012, hackers elected Bender to the {{w|District of Columbia Public Schools|D.C. school board}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2012/03/02/futuramas-bender-elected-to-dc-schoolboard/|title=Futurama's Bender Elected to DC School Board! <nowiki>|</nowiki> Comedy Central Insider <nowiki>|</nowiki> Funny, TV and Comedy Blog|author=Tobey, Matt|date=2012-03-02|site=[[Comedy Central]] Insider|accessdate=2012-03-02}}</ref><br />
*Even though his head has been shown to function as a camera many times before (the first time being in "[[When Aliens Attack]]"), he still carries around his own portable camera (with film!) to remember "neat" events.<br />
*He owns a black-handled switchblade, which he often uses to sharpen wooden sticks to use for protection while in prison.<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 {{w|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 />
=== Catchphrases ===<br />
Bender's basic [[catchphrase]] is "[[Bite my shiny metal ass]]".<br />
<br />
Variations on this include the following:<br />
*Bite my red-hot glowing ass! {{er|1ACV12}}<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! {{er|2ACV04}}<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! {{er|2ACV16}}<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! {{er|4ACV14}}<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! {{er|4ACV15}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{er|BG}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. <small>(said by [[Fry]])</small> {{er|ItWGY}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! <small>(said by a microscopic [[Bender duplicate]])</small> {{er|6ACV17}}<br />
*''Bite my fhiny metal aff'' {{er|6ACV23}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! <small>(said by Bender during the video-game segment)</small> {{er|6ACV26}}<br />
<br />
Other common catchphrases are:<br />
*"[[Me, Bender]]": whenever he says "me", he usually follows it with "Bender", thus producing the sentence "me, Bender." Thus making this the most said character name on the show.<br />
*"Well, [[we're boned]].", said in situations where he, or a group of people including him, are in a large amount of trouble.<br />
*"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. At one point, Bender just said, "Yeah, we're back." while filing his "nails" after escaping the wormhole.<br />
*"[[Neat!]]", when Bender is taking a picture with [[Bender's camera|his purple camera]], usually of something disturbing or disgusting.<br />
*"Cheese it!" whenever he encourages other characters to run away from trouble. This is used less commonly.<br />
*"[[Fun on the bun]]", another less common catchphrase that is used whenever Bender describes amusement.<br />
*"He's pending for a bending.", a phrase used as a warning very few times throughout the show.<br />
*"[[Bender is great!]]", like "Me, Bender", he usually likes to say this to emphasize his enormous ego.<br />
*"Oooh!", a ghostly/eerie noise often accompanied by jazz hands when feigning supernatural abilities, etc... (The Gypsy machine also did this once to Fry)<br />
*"[[Kill all humans]]..." This is a much more prevalent saying of Bender's in the early episodes.<br />
<br />
Bender also has a tendency to call humans "meatbag" when he is displeased or annoyed with them. Additionally, Bender regularly says "Kill all humans", although, in [[The Sting|Leela's dream]] he claims to whisper "except one", referring to Fry, every time too. In "Naturama" when Bender is represented as an elephant seal, he mutters "Kill all penguins" in his sleep.<br />
<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Bender as seen in a "What If?" scenario, about to get attacked by giant [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] {{et|2ACV16}}.]]<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 />
<ol start="10"><br />
<li>Chump</li><br />
<li value="9">Chumpette</li><br />
<li value="8">Yours</li><br />
<li value="7">Up</li><br />
<li value="6">Pimpmobile</li><br />
<li value="5">Bite</li><br />
<li value="4">My</li><br />
<li value="3">Shiny</li><br />
<li value="2">Daffodil</li><br />
<li value="1">Ass</li><br />
</ol><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 {{f|2}}. "Chumpette" is only uttered once though. "Pimpmobile" was also spoken by Bender in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]]. However, in all likelihood, Bender's real most spoken words would most likely be along the lines of any other speaker of the English language: the, and, I, a, so; etc. However, such words may have been excluded from the list<br />
<br />
=== Assets and titles ===<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 />
*Served as Prime Minister of [[Trisol]] under the brief rule of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry the Solid]] (most likely terminated when the old emperor came back into power or when Bender and the rest of the crew fled Trisol).<br />
*A castle, inherited from his [[Vladimir|uncle]], though possibly forfeited when he failed to spend a night within.<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 (Zinc Saucier)<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 />
*Pharaoh of [[Osiris 4]]<br />
*Prime Minister of Norway, due to him having the real Prime Minister of Norway's hand AND career chip<br />

'''Philip J. Fry''' (often referred to only by his last name, ''Fry'') is the main protagonist and character of ''[[Futurama]]''. In the future, Fry is the executive delivery boy of [[Planet Express]], which his distant nephew [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] owns. Before being employed by Planet Express in the year 3000 he had worked for [[Panucci's Pizza]] during the late 20th century. On New Year's Eve 1999 he was cryogenically frozen by accident while on delivery. The [[cryo-tube]] timer was set at 1000 years; hence Fry woke to the last moments of the year [[2999]].<br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
[[File:Fry.png|left|thumb|100px|Philip J. Fry]]<br />
Philip J. Fry is a dim-witted man from the 20th century who gets frozen for 1,000 years, thawing out on New Year's Eve 2999. His character is largely an attempt by the show's creators to make the connection between the [[20th century]] and the [[31st century]] much easier for the viewers. Often, Fry is faced with differences in the future, which he then relates to things in his time. As a result, he frequently has to defend the actions of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
Although he is often depicted as stupid, Fry does occasionally come up with brilliant schemes to save the day, an ability which possibly comes from his intense love of ''[[Star Trek]]''. Fry, rivaled only by the [[energy being]] of [[Melllvar]], has the largest encyclopaedic knowledge of ''Star Trek'' in the future. Another example of Fry's occasional brilliance was during the [[Brain Spawn]] attack on [[Earth]]. With the rest of the crew stupefied, Fry was able to save Earth by exploiting the Brainspawn's weaknesses. Strangely enough, Fry's stupidity appears to be his greatest strength as he the only known person in the universe who lacks a [[Delta brainwave]] and therefore is immune to the Brainspawn's stupification fields. [[Ken]], a [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]], has noted he possesses a "superior yet inferior" mind. He lacks the Delta brainwave because he is actually his own grandfather {{et|3ACV19}}.<br />
<br />
Also because he lacks the Delta brainwave, he is immune to telepathy. {{et|5ACV16}} {{et|2ACV08}}<br />
<br />
Fry is also usually quick to make very rash decisions, such as traveling back to the year 2000 (''[[Bender's Big Score]]'') or stowing away on Zapp Brannigan's ship to leave the universe after being upset about [[Colleen]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]).<br />
<br />
Despite being lazy, Fry's heart is in the right place, and when the situation calls for it, he will rise up to formulate a plan to save his friends, though because of his lack of intelligence he rarely comes up with any good plans. Fry cares about his friends, and in spite of [[Bender]]'s awful treatment of him at times, he is still willing to risk his life to save him, which Bender reciprocates. However, it shows that Fry enjoys Bender being "mean" to him, because when [[Bender]] has to leave the planet express crew for his own saftey, [[Clamps]] takes his place and behaves in the same way Bender would towards Fry and Fry just laughs and continues.<br />
<br />
Fry loves video games, and as such, he is usually shown to be very good at them, although not all games. He never actually managed to finish the final enemy on ''{{w|Space Invaders}}''; he always had to get his brother Yancy to do it for him. Though he may not be good at all games, his skills have made him a crackshot, and he usually mans the ship's weapons when they are under attack. He has also got a lot better at fighting, by "Fun on a Bun" {{et|7ACV08}} Also, Fry absolutely loves sewers, he once surfed (was surprisingly good) in various sewers around Earth cities with [[Turanga Morris]] & Bender, but got temporarily sick as a result.<br />
<br />
== Savantism ==<br />
Several instances throughout the series have suggested an abnormal mind tied to savantism and synesthesia:<br />
*Shown in "[[All the Presidents' Heads]]", he is a compulsive counter.<br />
*In "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" and "[[The Why of Fry]]", he is a colour-gustatory synesthete.<br />
*Throughout the series, he shows great intelligence countered by an inability to properly express it as such.<br />
*He is capable of incredible musical creativity, but lacks the physical means to express it. ("[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]")<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
{{further|Fry's past}}<br />
[[file:FryBirth.png|thumb|right|Fry's birth in [[1974]] with umbilical cord still attached {{et|3ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Philip J. Fry was born in {{August}} [[1974]], in the [[Brooklyn Pre-Med Hospital]] in [[Old New York]], a native of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Fry is the second son of [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] and [[Mrs. Fry]].<br />
<br />
During his formative years, Fry endured a great sibling rivalry with his older brother, [[Yancy Fry Jr.|Yancy Jr]]. Yancy constantly stole his ideas and, shortly after Fry was born, even wanted his younger brother's name. Yancy also frequently belittled Fry. 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 felt 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 got a job at [[Panucci's Pizza]] as a pizza delivery boy. While working for [[Mr. Panucci]], he met up with [[Michelle]] and they began a relationship. On a delivery in [[1997]], he meets up with [[Seymour Asses]], a dog he names after the addressee of the prank caller who ordered the delivery. Seymour becomes his best friend.<br />
<br />
[[file:Frozen Fry.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Fry is frozen for a thousand years in a cryogenics tube.]]<br />
<br />
=== Cryogenically Frozen - for a Thousand Years ===<br />
{{further|Space Pilot 3000}}<br />
On the fateful night of New Year's Eve, 1999, Fry is sent on another prank delivery to [[I. C. Wiener]]. When he arrives at the destination, [[Applied Cryogenics]], he realizes that it is a prank, but since he won't make it back to Panucci's before midnight, he decides to celebrate the New Year where he is. Then, while leaning his chair too far backwards, he falls into a [[Cryogenic Freezing Chamber|cryogenics tube]], which closes and freezes him for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve, 2999, the tube's timer finishes and Fry wakes up again. He is not at all sad about leaving his old life behind, and actually happy and relieved that it is all now behind him. He meets [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], who is employed by the Cryogenics Labs to assign [[Career chip|unfrozen people to jobs]]. She tells Fry about his living relative {{Farnsworth|Professor Hubert Farnsworth}}. Leela then tells Fry that the job that has been assigned to him is that of Delivery Boy. Faced with a return to the life of drudgery he knew in 1999, Fry flees. While running around [[New New York]], he enters a [[suicide booth]] (having mistaken it for a phone booth) and tries to contact his nephew.<br />
<br />
Fry meets a robot named [[Bender]] in the Suicide Booth and, after narrowly avoiding death, they grab a drink together. After a couple of beers, Bender decides to leave to re-attempt suicide, but Fry convinces him to stay by saying that he has always wanted a robot for a friend (or at least ever since he was six). Leela is still on his trail, though, after being forced by her boss, [[Ipji]], to pursue Fry and force him to accept the career chip.<br />
<br />
Leela follows Fry and Bender into the [[Head Museum]] and the ruins of Old New York, before finally catching up with them. To Fry's surprise, though, she decides to quit her job instead of forcing the job of delivery boy on him. Fry suggests they go to his distant nephew, Professor Farnsworth, to see if he can help. After [[Relative Box|confirming]] that he and Fry are related, the Professor decides to hire them as a replacement for his old crew.<br />

<br />
=== Planet Express Delivery Boy, First Class ===<br />
{{further|Season 1|Season 2}}<br />
Fry is hired on at his nephew's company as a delivery boy. Faced with the ability to travel around space, Fry is pleased with his new position. At first Fry lives in the Planet Express building, but after an [[I, Roommate|apartment hunt]] he ends up living in Bender's closet. Fry immediately develops an interest in Leela but, to his dismay, the feelings are not mutual.<br />
<br />
His work at Planet Express sees him thrown into several absurd adventures: he is briefly in a relationship with [[Amy Wong]], and while the company's bureaucrat, [[Hermes Conrad]], is away, he has an affair with the company's replacement bureaucrat, [[Morgan Proctor]]. Neither lasts very long, but when he almost destroys the Planet Express building and Hermes fires him (along with Bender and Leela) he gets Leela's former job by accident and finds his old girlfriend, Michelle, unfrozen. She does not enjoy life in the future, and asks him to come with her to the year 4000. After they wake up and realize that they are actually just in [[Los Angeles]] two days later, she dumps him in favour of [[Pauly Shore (character)|Pauly Shore]].<br />
<br />
At a truck stop Fry eats a bad egg sandwich and gets infected with parasites. The worms give him a complete tune up, and he becomes stronger, smarter, and is capable of impressing Leela with the [[Holophonor]]. He almost sleeps with her, but Fry fears that Leela is falling in love with the worms rather than himself, so he decides to get rid of them. He appears to be right: she immediately asks him to leave when he commits a relationship blunder; namely, talking about his previous fling with Amy Wong.<br />
<br />
=== The most important person in the universe ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<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 sleeping with her, the Professor (incorrectly) states Fry has become his own grandfather. Since Fry still existed after his grandfather died, his grandmother must have already become pregnant beforehand.<br />
<br />
At some point the [[Brain Spawn]] attack [[Earth]] and make all humans stupid. Fry is immune to the attack as he lacks the Delta brain wave. The [[Nibblonians]] work with Leela to get the message to Fry, who confronts [[the Big Brain]] in the New New York Public Library. Fry defeats the Big Brain, but when everyone is back to normal, no one has any memory of his actions and just think he is crazy.<br />
<br />
The Nibblonians call for his help again when the Brain Spawn are found to be collecting all information in the universe and plan to to destroy it when their task is complete. The Nibblonians explain that due to him lacking the Delta brain wave, and is immune to the Brain Spawn as long as he avoids prolonged thinking. It is revealed to him inside the [[Infosphere]] that it was [[Nibbler]] who made him fall into the tube and come to the future in the first place. Fry is sent back to 1999 by the Brain Spawn to stop Nibbler from freezing him, but Nibbler persuades Fry to allow himself to be frozen to save Leela's life, as no one would be able to stop the Brain Spawn from destroying the universe in the future.<br />

<br />
=== A deal with the devil ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
During the events with his coworkers, he became a [[Captain Yesterday|super hero]], met the cast of [[Star Trek]], wound up in a [[Parallel Universes|parallel universe]] where he and Leela had gotten married and gets his [[Human Horn|nose]] cut off.<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 Holophonor 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 unintentionally signed. Fry realizes that this ultimatum only has one solution: to give up the Robot Devil's hands. Since he cannot play any more, the opera is credited as the worst ever, though Leela remains behind to hear him finish.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lars Fillmore.png|thumb|left|225px|Fry's [[time paradox duplicate]], [[Lars Fillmore]].]]<br />
<br />
=== The secret to time travel ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
Planet Express' delivery license is revoked by the [[Box Network]], forcing the Professor to terminate his employees. But by the time the Professor gets around to telling them (two years later), their license is restored after a change in management at the Box Network- they are back in business. Fry becomes a centre of attention when Alien Scammers (led by [[Nudar]]) take over the Planet Express and find the [[machine language time code]] on Fry's buttocks. Using the code, a virus-infected Bender is ordered back in time to steal all of Earth's valuables from the past. However, Fry is more upset that [[Lars Fillmore]] is getting a chance with Leela.<br />
<br />
The scammers feel it best to be rid of the time code once they finally become anxious that the universe will be destroyed. Utilising a mirror, Fry manages to read the code off his buttocks and escapes back to January 1, 2000. Here he attempts to get some food from Mr. Panucci, but is unable to since he has no money from that era. He takes the pizza he delivered to I. C. Wiener, and 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 />
Even though Lars Fillmore calls off the wedding, Fry is unable to get Leela's attention. After having Hermes and Bender save the Earth, he decides on New Year's Eve of 3007, that Lars and Leela belong together. However, here it is revealed that Lars is the exact same time paradox duplicate he left at Applied Cryogenics.<br />
<br />
=== Pope of new religion ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After a brief relationship with [[Colleen]], he left through the anomaly and met [[Yivo]], they developed a relationship and Yivo took control of everyone in Universe Gamma (this universe) through tentacles in their necks. The brainwashed people joined [[Yivo's religion]], with Fry as their new [[pope]]. Eventually they found out that the tentacles in their necks were "[[Coinage|genticles]]" and that Yivo was mating with them. The religion was immediately abandoned. He was brought to live on Yivo, but was taken back by the [[Damned Army]].<br />
<br />
=== The bearer of the Die of Power ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Fry took part in [[Planet Express' Attack on Mombil "Mine"]] and was taken to [[Cornwood]] by Bender's imagination. Once there, he became [[Frydo]], and was given the duty of carrying the [[Die of Power]] and destroying it in the [[Geysers of Gygax]]. He was eventually corrupted by its power and fought [[Momon]] as a dragon. Momon won, and Cornwood was destroyed.<br />

<br />
=== Saving the universe again ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
In [[3009]], Fry was needed by the [[Legion of Mad Fellows]] to help defeat the [[Last Dark One|final Dark One]] and stop it from wiping out all life in the entire universe. Because he lacked the [[Delta Brainwave]], his mind could not be read, and due to an accident he could temporarily read minds. With all of creation on his shoulders, he found the Dark One by chance after believing himself to be it. However, the Dark One was only a [[Desert Muck Leech|small leech]], the [[Violet Dwarf Star]] became the [[Last Encyclopod|final Encyclopod]], which gave the once extinct plants and animals to the universe and easily destroyed the last Dark One, whom [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] then ate. The whole [[Planet Express crew]] flew into a [[wormhole]], after Fry and Leela expressed their true love for each other and kissed.<br />
<br />
=== Reborn ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
[[File:Mutated Fry.jpg|left|thumb|"Mutated" Fry.]]<br />
After emerging from the Panama Wormhole, the [[Planet Express]] crew crashed just outside the [[Planet Express headquarters|company headquarters]] and was killed in the explosion. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]], however, did not die, as he was using a [[safety sphere]] to protect his whole body. The Professor [[Rebirth|rebirthed]] his crew with the [[Birthing Machine]]. In the next few weeks, Fry helped save [[Earth]] from the [[V-GINY]], became one of the most popular [[Twitcher]] users ever after buying [[Mom]]'s [[eyePhone]], and assisted in the passing of [[Proposition ∞]], which legalized [[Robosexuality|robosexual marriage]] in [[New New York]]. Philip also went to [[Planet Vinci]] with his nephew to uncover [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s shocking secret, participated in the [[Sith-il War|3010 Sith Invasion reenactment]] and forward-time-travelled through three [[Alternate Universes|different universes]]. In August, he witnessed the [[Thuban 9|Thubanian]] Invasion of Earth, went to the [[Robo-Planetoid]] wherein [[Robots]] were capable of both Creation and Evolution and [[The Mind-Switcher|changed minds]] with [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] and [['Sweet' Clyde Dixon|Sweet Clyde]]. In September, Fry became one of the [[Sewer Mutants|Mutant]] leaders of the [[Devolution Revolution]] (although he was, in fact, not mutated but was in actuality lodged in the mouth of the mutated ''[[Mr. Astor]]'', which finally granted the [[NNY Sewers|sewer]] people their freedom with equal rights, as well as access to the surface of the city and celebrated his 100th delivery along with the rest of the Planet Express crew members. During that year, [[Fry-Leela relationship|his relationship with Leela]] progressed largely. He also killed celebrated business consultant [[Dan McMasters]], believing that he was [[Blorgulax|a vicious alien killer]].<br />

=== Age ===<br />
Fry was frozen at age 25 for 1000 years making him 1025. Then 4 years later at age 1029 chronologically, was youthisized to age 14, reverse-aged to near unbirth, then re-aged, supposedly to his correct biological age, 29, in the fountain of aging {{et|4ACV09}}. 4 years later at age 33 he went back in time and was frozen yet again for 1007.95 years making him 2040 but still biologically only 33. Based on Leela's speculation there is a chance after the fountain of aging he is less than 30: the professor never scans them with his age detector. After the events of the fourth movie he is about 2041 years old. His biological age may have reset entirely in "[[Rebirth]]" as, unlike the others, he was reduced to only a lump of flesh and his hair before being reborn. After the events of "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]", Fry may potentially be over 20 duodecillion(short scale) years old, having travelled through the entirety of the universe twice with Bender and Professor Farnsworth. However, the [[forward time machine]] appeared to be insulated from the passage of time outside of it, and so this has only biologically aged him a few minutes older than he should be relative to the inhabitants of the new universe.<br />
<br />
=== Lars Fillmore ===<br />
{{main|Lars Fillmore}}<br />
In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', he has a duplicate that lives in [[Old New York]] with [[Leelu]] and everyone from [[Fry's past|Fry's old, 20th-century life]]. He was thought to be killed by an explosion caused by an [[iObey|obedience virus]] controlled Bender, but it actually burns off his hair and damages his voice box, turning him into [[Lars Fillmore]].<br />

<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Fry was intended as the viewer's representation in the future, with the future being presented to the audience through Fry's eyes. Fry was originally intended to have a [[Pocket Pal]] with him to explain the future for him,<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=Less than Hero |volume=Four |disc=1}}</ref><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |film=The Beast with a Billion Backs}}</ref> though that idea was scrapped with the future being described through the events the occurred around him.<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc"/><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc"/> Fry's jacket is based on {{w|James Dean}}'s outfit in ''{{w|Rebel Without a Cause}}''.<ref name="fSP3K-com-mg">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1}}</ref><br />
<br />
The story of his brother, [[Yancy Fry, Jr.]], was not an original idea from the beginning of the series, but at the same time, they avoided specifying Fry's siblings in the early episodes, to leave space for additional stories.<ref name="epLOTF-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Luck of the Fryrish |volume=Three |disc=1}}</ref> In the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000|original storyboard]] to [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot]], Fry mentions having [[Fry's sister|a sister]], but this was abandoned in the final episode.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
[[File:101-Board 62.jpg|left|thumb|The storyboard saying Fry's name "should match [[Phil Hartman]]'s actual spelling".]]<br />
Fry was originally set to be named ''Curtis'', but was renamed Philip to honor [[Phil Hartman]], a voice actor who had played several roles on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' over the years. Hartman was originally set to play [[Zapp Brannigan]] on ''[[Futurama]]'', but died only shortly before ''Futurama'''s beginning. Within the show, Fry was named Philip by his father after Phillips screwdrivers.<br />
<br />
Another actor who was intended to play Fry is [[Charlie Schlatter]].<br />
<br />
He is not to be confused with Philip J. Fry of Hovering Squid World 97A {{et|4ACV10}}, his nephew [[Philip J. Fry II]] (named after him), or his [[time paradox duplicate]] who later identified himself as "[[Lars Fillmore]]."<br />
<br />

*His social security number is 03280810. (Note: This is one digit short of that used in actual Social Security numbers. Further, the first three digits of a Social Securty number indicate birthplace.

*Became [[Frydo]] in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />

*His copy ([[Lars Fillmore|Lars]]) may have worked at a casino at some point between [[2000]] and [[2012]].<br />
*Holds the title of "Universe's #4307697 Delivery Boy", according to his mug, as seen in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]".<br />

<br />
'''Turanga Leela''' is one of the most important employees of [[Planet Express]]. She occupies the position of the [[Planet Express ship|ship]]'s captain and pilot and therefore is the head of the regular delivery [[Planet Express crew|crew]] consisting of herself, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]. She is known as the most competent of the three main characters.<br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
During her youth, Leela was often teased because she only had one eye. She felt very lonely in her childhood after being abandoned by her parents at an orphanarium, and always dreamed of learning who her real parents were. She eventually learns that she is a mutant, rather than an alien, which she had always thought she was. Leela has been shown to care a great deal about her mutant parents, even stealing a priceless [[Quantum Gemerald]] from a museum along with Bender and Fry, when the Zookeeper threatens to feed them to piranhas.<br />
<br />
Despite her troubled past, Leela is friendly, smart and self-reliant, though she is sometimes impatient and quick to anger. She cares deeply for her friends and loved ones, plus issues she feels she must stand up for, like freedom, the environment and cute animals. However she does not hesitate to use force if she believes the situation demands it. She also has a liking for violence and was often sarcastic, but she nevertheless seems to have developed strong maternal instincts at times. She is engaged in a constant low-intensity feud with [[Amy Wong]], the only other female at [[Planet Express]], who more or less frequently accuses her of not being ladylike enough to be a true woman, despite Leela having a strong sensitivity for cuteness and romantic issues.<br />
<br />
Leela lives alone in a somewhat under-furnished apartment (Apartment 1i) somewhere in the city of [[New New York]]. She only shares her loneliness with her alien pet, [[Nibbler]]. <br />
<br />
As a [[Sewer Mutants|mutant]], Leela has a peculiar metabolism different from that of standard humans. Mutagens cannot harm her, and she seems resistant to many poisons, environmental hazards and illnesses. Her special condition may have helped her fight off the threat by the [[The Sting|Baby Space Bee Queen's poison]], and it proved instrumental for finding the cure against the [[The Cure For The Common Clod|common cold]] that had New New York in its clutches. (Although in [[Cold Warriors]], Leela's metabolism was not involved in finding the cure, but a vaccine was extracted from an experimental virus sample found on Enceladus). Also, it might explain why Leela is so fond of sports and so well-muscled. As a recruit of the [[Earth]] forces, she surpassed every other recruit on the training ground, even well-trained males, and has shown extraordinary strength, dexterity and stamina on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
Leela is also highly skilled in martial arts which has been shown on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
She is also shown to be obsessive at times, and in "[[Möbius Dick]]", this reached a critical level when she began displaying symptoms of multiple personality disorder as a result of the futile efforts of attempting kill a [[Four-dimensional space whale]] that devoured their latest delivery. She also has an [[iPod]] {{et|5ACV14}}.<br />
<br />
Leela's single giant eye unfortunately gives her poor depth perception, which has been hinted is the reason she crashes into billboards at the start of every episode. It's also the reason why she was the worst blurnsball player who ever lived. In the episode "Reincarnation" her eye color is shown to be blue.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
[[File:Baby Leela.jpg|thumb|Leela as she was found in the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium|Orphanarium]]]]<br />
Turanga Leela was born as the only child of a married couple of [[Sewer Mutants|mutants]] in the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] of [[New New York]]. Her parents are [[Turanga Morris and Munda]]. As Leela is probably the least mutated mutant ever born (as described to her parents by a medical professional), and looked like a normal child except for her one eye, her parents decided that she should not share the fate of her people living in the sewers. They instead chose to give her a life as normal as possible - a "real" life - by giving her up to the [[Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium]], though it was a tough decision and they suffered greatly by giving her away. Attached to the basket she was found in was a note in an [[Alien Languages|alien language]] written by her mother [[Turanga Morris and Munda|Turanga Munda]], who has a Ph.D. in exolinguistics. She meant for the note to convince the finder of her daughter that she was an alien and thus accept her into the orphanarium. The plan worked, and Leela was taken in by the head of the orphanarium, [[Warden Vogel]].<br />
<br />
Leela grew up in the orphanarium unaware of her true roots, believing that she was indeed an alien. She had a hard time there, as she was relentlessly picked on because of her unusual appearance, and was always a lonely outsider. As a child she wore a monocle and, later, braces. Nevertheless, or maybe because of this, she managed to develop a strong and caring personality. As an outlet for her deep frustration, she trained in Arcturan Kung Fu to the level of a black-belt by a master of this martial art, [[Fnog]], despite being a victim of his obvious sexism.<br />
[[File:Teenage Leela.jpg|thumb|left|Leela as a teenager]]<br />
<br />
=== Hired at Planet Express ===<br />
{{further|Season 1}}<br />
After leaving the orphanarium, she began a career as Fate Assignment Officer at [[Applied Cryogenics]], assigning defrostees to their permanent careers and providing them with the proper [[Career Chip|career chips]]. Then one day a defrostee named [[Philip J. Fry]] came along and inspired her to quit her job. Ultimately, she ended up being hired by Fry's many-times-great-nephew [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Hubert Farnsworth]] as the new captain for his interstellar delivery service, [[Planet Express]]. In that position, she acquired her beloved pet [[Nibbler]], after saving him from the implosion of [[Vergon 6]]. She also rescued Fry from the [[Trisolians]], attempted to destroy the [[giant ball of garbage]], escaped from the ''[[Titanic]]'' and helped save the world from the [[Omicronians]] in the [[First Omicronian Invasion of Earth]] in the same year that she was hired.<br />
<br />
=== Another Cyclops ===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
From going on the [[Internet]], Leela believed to have found another cyclops, and would finally find out her true home planet. The cyclops turned out to be [[Alcazar]], who took her to [[Cyclopia]], where she supposedly was born. Leela decides that she must marry Al to continue their species. When Al tried to marry Leela, however, it turns out that Al was really a shape-shifting grasshopper, who was going to marry four other women of different alien races. She leaves the planet disappointed, but hopeful.<br />
<br />
That same year, she almost lost Nibbler to [[El Chupanibre]], but he was saved by Bender, after Leela learned to be selfish. She was briefly named Miss Universe at the [[Miss Universe Pageant 3001]] by [[Zapp Brannigan]] by accident. She discovered [[Popplers]] but was almost killed by [[Lrrr]] when [[Second Omicronian Invasion of Earth|the crew found out that Popplers were the Omicronians' young]]. She also served in the [[DOOP Army]] in [[The Battle of Spheron 1]].<br />
<br />
=== Helping the Nibblonians ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<br />
After having her pet Nibbler named "Dumbest Pet in Show" at a pet competition, Leela is shocked to learn that Nibbler is actually a high-ranking member of [[Nibblonians|an ancient alien species]]. The Nibblonians tell her that their old enemy, the [[Brain Spawn]], is making everyone on Earth stupid, and that Fry is the only one that can stop them, due to his lack of the [[Delta Brain Wave]]. She gets Fry to fight the [[Big Brain]], and Fry wins. The brains leave Earth for no "raisin" and Nibbler blanks Leela's memory. Later, she gets a second eye crafted in, but removed it because of [[Adlai Atkins|her new boyfriend's]] insensitivity. She also got married briefly to Fry, joined the [[New New York Mets]] and traveled back in time and helped cause the Roswell incident.<br />
<br />
=== Leela's real home planet ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
Leela was later captured by the Sewer Mutants, along with Fry and Bender, who wanted to punish them for dumping toxic waste in the sewers. They were rescued by [[Turanga Morris and Munda|two mysterious strangers]] who convinced the Supreme Mutant to change their punishment into a life-long banishment from the sewers, instead of execution. Leela, curious about the strangers, jumps back into the sewers and chases the two back to their house, threatening them with a gun. The two tell her that they were the ones who killed her parents, and Leela, in an uncontrolled rage, almost killed them, but was stopped by Fry. It is revealed that the two were actually Leela's parents, and Leela rejoices. Leela also impregnated [[Kif Kroker]], became a superheroine called [[Clobberella]], was stung by a [[Space Bee]], and sold her hand in marriage to the [[Robot Devil]] in exchange for some mechanical ears.<br />
<br />
=== Meets Lars Fillmore ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
Shortly after Fry's opera, Planet Express delivery license is canceled. However; either due to the Box network's or the Professor's incompetence, it took two years for the staff to be informed. The true period of joblessness lasted for a few moments before Planet Express was "back on the air," During a party to celebrate the company's renewal, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes']] head is chopped off in an Limbo accident, and Leela meets [[Lars Fillmore]] at the Head Museum. Ownership of Planet Express is stolen by the [[Scammer Aliens]] who discover the [[Machine Language Time Code|secret to time travel]] on Fry's ass, but Leela and Lars' relationship grows undisturbed. Fry watches them date with great envy and anger.<br />
<br />
Despite both Leela and Lars getting laid off from their jobs, due to the Scammers tricking people out of their possessions, Lars proposes to Leela and Leela agrees. At the wedding, Hermes' head is chopped off a duplicate of his body that Bender went back in time to pick up for him. The professor inadvertently reveals to Lars that a [[Time paradox duplicate]] is always doomed to die. Lars calls off the wedding and left Leela to depression.<br />
<br />
Later, the entire population of Earth is forced to move to different planets, due to [[Richard Nixon's head|President Nixon]] being scammed out of Earth's remaining land and water. The crew moves to [[Neptune]] in response. There, [[Santa Claus]] is unable to attack them, being in a deep depression over being scammed out of his "Naughty List." They team up and plan to defeat the Scammers. At first, Nixon is skeptical of their chances to succeed, but Santa gets his [[Santa's Workshop|factory of elves]] to build powerful weapons for the army. The small army that they assembled fought against the Scammer's fleet of [[Remote-controlled solid gold Death Star|Solid Gold Death Stars]], but their first leader, Zapp Brannigan, was taken down. Leela takes his place, but soon realizes that she can't control so many ships at one time. Thus, Hermes's head uses his bureaucratic skills to control the other ships and take down the Scammers' fleet.<br />
<br />
During the 3008 New Years Eve Party that took place on Earth shortly afterward, Fry sees how sad Leela is without Lars and realizes that if he really loved her, he would care more about her happiness, rather than his own. He tries to get Leela back together with Lars, but is interrupted by [[Nudar]], who survived the battle and wants to kill them. Lars sacrifices himself and saves Fry and Leela. After seeing the machine language time code on his butt, Leela realizes that Lars is actually Fry's [[time paradox duplicate]]. The crew all attend Lars's funeral where his video will explains what happened after he traveled back in time and why he decided not to marry Leela. <br />
<br />
Later, Nibbler has Bender go back in time one last time to put the Time Code on Fry's butt to start the entire cycle. After completing his mission, Bender convinces the duplicates of him to return to the present instead of "coming up where they were logically supposed to." The large paradox caused by hundreds of Bender's makes a large rip in time and space.<br />
<br />
=== Last tentacle-free person in the universe ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
When the rip in time and space starts producing tentacles that attach itself to people, Leela and the crew (except Fry), become one of the few isolated pockets of tentacle free people. The crew try to escape Earth, but are blocked by [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Dr. Wernstrom's]] [[Diamondillium]] shield. They take cover in the Planet Express Building, along with Wernstrom, but [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] is taken. Fry tries to get them to come out and join [[Yivo]], but they refuse. Later, the tentacles infiltrate the building and the Professor, Hermes, and Wernstrom are overcome by the tentacles. Leela escapes with Amy on a [[Party Board]].<br />
<br />
While hiding in an alley, it is revealed to them that Zapp Brannigan was also free. They all hide together in an abandoned soup cabin in a remote area. The next day, Leela finds out that Zapp had slept with Amy, but is more surprised at the fact that the tentacles have found them. Leela manages to escape with a piece of the tentacle, but Zapp and Amy do not.<br />
<br />
Leela goes back to Planet Express and examines the piece with a telescope. She realizes that the tentacles are actually [[Coinage#G|Gentacles]] and that Yivo was actually mating with everyone in the universe. She pretends to have a tentacle attached and goes into the Church of [[Yivo's Religion]] where she reveals to the world the truth. The religion is abandoned, but they eventually go on a date with Yivo to make up. The Earthican council decides to break up with Yivo due to shkler lack of commitment, but Yivo proposes to them before they could say anything. Everyone in the universe moves to [[Parallel universes|Yivo's Universe]], but Leela was forced to go, despite being against it.<br />
<br />
On Yivo, Leela was skeptic about the heavenly paradise at first, but when she finally admits to being happy, Bender and his [[Army of the Damned]] invade Yivo and takes them back to their universe.<br />
<br />
=== Leegola ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Leegola.jpg|thumb|right|Leela as Leegola]]<br />
<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Later in 3008, Leela is goaded by [[Sal]] into entering the Planet Express Ship into the [[Space Demolition Derby]]. She leads the crew to a victory, but finds herself in trouble when Zoidberg tattles to the professor about her reckless behavior. Leela is forced to wear a shock collar, designed to give her and electrical shock if she has any violent thoughts, among others.<br />
<br />
After several hopeless attempts to convince Zoidberg, the staff doctor, that she doesn't need the collar any more, Leela grew accustomed with the electrical shocks and even begins to enjoy them. She, along with Fry and the professor, launch an [[Planet Express' Attack on Mombil "Mine"|attack]] on the [[Mombil]] [[Dark Matter]] mine in [[Alaska]]. She aids the team greatly by using her violence and eventually discovers that the mine was actually a farm that harvested the fecal matter of [[Nibblonians]]. Leela also finds her pet [[Nibbler]] there.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, in the middle of the battle, the floor cracks open and Leela is sent to [[Cornwood]], the land created by Bender's imagination. There, she becomes a centaur named [[Leegola]]. She joins [[Frydo]], [[Titanius Anglesmith]], [[Gynecaladriel]], and the [[Great Wizard Greyfarn]] in forming the [[Fellowship]] and embark on a quest to defeat [[Momon]], queen of evil. However, halfway through the quest, Leegola realizes that in her rage she had murdered an [[Zoidberg (Cornwood)|innocent monster]]. She vows not to harm another living being again and joins the other, more peaceful [[Centaurs]].<br />
<br />
Leegola later finds out that her friends were endangered by [[Momon's Army]]. She returns back to normal and convinces the other centaurs to form their own army and fight against Momon. In doing so, Momon's Army is defeated and her friends are saved. She, along with most of the Fellowship, go to the [[Geysers of Gygax]] where Momon destroys Cornwood and sends them back to the real world. Dark matter then becomes useless as fuel and they temporarily use Nibblonians as transport.<br />
<br />
=== The new leader of the Feministas ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
Leela, along with the rest of Planet Express, took a trip to [[Leo Wong]]'s [[Mars Vegas]], where they meet [[Frida Waterfall]] and the [[Feministas]]. Leela feels concerned about Leo's disrespect for nature in building the city, and adopts the last [[Desert Muck Leech]].<br />
<br />
Later, Leela and Amy were allowed into [[Wongminster]], Leo's miniature golf club. Leo plans on destroying twelve percent of the Milky Way to expand his club, and sends Planet Express to do a scan for life in the twelve percent. Although they find a life filled asteroid, orbiting a [[Violet Dwarf Star]], Professor Farnsworth ignores it and approves the area for demolition anyways. Upset at the disregard of the men, Leela joins the Feministas.<br />
<br />
Leela was part of a Feminista protest at Wongminster, where, due to an accident, they kill the [[Headless body of Agnew]], and flee, becoming fugitives. While hiding, Leela encourages the rest to be more forceful in protecting the environment by sabotaging Wong's construction of the golf course. They gain more and more members, and eventually take over the Planet Express Ship, as well as Hermes, Zoidberg, and Farnsworth.<br />
<br />
Later, Fry unwittingly lures the Feministas out of their [[Honeybun Hideout]], and leads to an exciting space chase through the miniature golf course where the Feministas ultimately get arrested by Bender. They have a trial ([[Earth v. Feministas]]), where they are sentenced to [[Maxi-Padlock]], a prison for women.<br />
<br />
After spending a few days in prison, and unsuccessfully trying to break out with Leela's muck leech, they are broken out by Bender, Farnsworth, Hermes, Zoidberg, and Scruffy, although only Leela, Amy, and LaBarbara managed to escape. They go to the Violet Dwarf, where they manage to stop it from getting destroyed, just in time for it to hatch into [[The Last Encyclopod]]. it is revealed that the muck leech was [[The Last Dark One]], and it is killed after it murders [[Hutch Waterfall]]. The Encyclopod preserves Hutch's DNA, and leaves. Zapp then chases the Planet Express crew in the Nimbus. Leela confesses her love of Fry and they kiss before flying into the [[Panama Wormhole]] to escape. <br />
<br />
=== Reborn ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
The [[Planet Express]] [[Planet Express ship|ship]] goes through the [[Panama Wormhole]] and exits in [[Earth]] orbit. The ship is shot by [[Zapp Brannigan]]'s flagship [[Nimbus]] and thus loses power and crashes in front of the company [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]], killing all the [[Planet Express crew|crew]] except the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] and Leela who was saved by Fry. Saddened by Fry's death, she builds Robot Fry at a [[Build-A-Bot Workshop]]. Unfortunately, due to excess wiring in his stomach, he short circuited killing Leela and wiping both of their short term memories. Then, Robot Fry build a [[Robot Leela]]. When Leela is finally awakened, she fought with the Robot Leela, until the real Fry is reborn. The two robots then leave forever and everything is back to normal {{et|6ACV01}}. She is later send with Zapp to the V-GINY, but they crashed on an unknown planet. It i slater revealed it was a plan of Zapp to seduce Leela {{et|6ACV02}}.

[[File:Elbowtalons.jpg|right|thumb|Leela's other mutation.]]<br />
<br />
=== Mutations ===<br />
As a sewer mutant, Leela has mutations. The most obvious is her only eye making her a cyclops. But she also shown she has a second mutation. She grows skin covered spikes, called "[[Coinage#E|elbow talons]]", from her elbows. However, she usually trims these ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]). She later revealed that she has a third mutation which was discovered by Fry in [[3010]], a talking boil on her body named [[Susan]], which she lances every few months {{et|6ACV03}}. According to her, she has 205 bones, making her one less than normal humans {{et|6ACV22}} but this could simply be because she only has one eye. She is much less slender than Amy Wong, and many other characters, also she is particularly strong, and as she states "I guess I don't know my own strength." These attributes may be related to the fact that she keeps active, yet it may partly be either minor mutations, or possibly extremely rare and unusual family genes, before Old-New-York was destroyed, and her ancestors there were mutated. She has deep-purple hair, as do her mother and her maternal grandmother; her maternal great-grandmother did too. She also occasionally lays an egg {{et|7ACV22}}.<br />
[[File:Leela 2eyes 1.jpg|right|thumb|Two-eyed Leela.]]<br />
<br />
===Two-eyed Leela=== <br />
<br />
Leela has been seen with two eyes several times, though each time it appeared different: <br />
*"[[When Aliens Attack]]" &mdash; To portray the role of Jenny MacNeal, a plastic eye is taped to the side of her face (which [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] later eats). This is clearly the least-convincing appearance of a two-eyed Leela.<br />
*"[[Amazon Women in the Mood]]" &mdash; When the Amazonians are approaching, a puddle ripples, causing Leela's reflection to distort, showing her briefly with two eyes. Her eyes appear to be rounder than the others.<br />
*"[[The Cyber House Rules]]" &mdash; A second eye is grafted onto Leela's face. She later realizes she's better off being different, and has it removed. Her eyes are more narrow.<br />
*"''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''" &mdash; When the Professor asks if Leela is winking or blinking, Leela wears a pair of two-eyed glasses with a {{w|lenticular printing|lenticular}} "winking" animation to clarify.<br />
<br />
=== Alternate Appearances ===<br />
<br />
*'''{{es|2ACV17}}''': '''Lee Lemon''': Leela disguises herself as a man in order to enlist in the DOOP Army.<br />
*'''{{es|3ACV15}}''': '''Parallel Leela''': The only difference apparent between Leela and her counterpart in the parallel universe (the ''only'' alternate universe at the time) was that parallel Leela (along with the rest of the parallel Planet Express crew) was wearing a cowboy hat and vest when both crews visited the [[Edge of the Universe]]. Whether this is the norm for the parallel Crew, or was due to some difference in parallel Fry's touristy adventure that day was never mentioned.<br />
*'''{{es|3ACV18}}''': '''Witch Leela''': In Leela's dream, she asked to become the new Wicked Witch.<br />
*'''{{es|4ACV04}}''': '''[[Clobberella]]''': Leela turns into a superhero named Clobberella.<br />
*'''{{es|BG}}''': '''[[Leegola]]''': In Cornwood, she turns into a centaur named Leegola.<br />
*'''{{es|6ACV20}}''': Leela temporarily becomes a man.<br />

==Additional Info== <br />
[[File:Leela's Contact Lens.jpg|right|thumb|Leela's contact lens]]<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*Her name can be interpreted in several ways: "Leela" sounds exactly like the term for "purple" in several languages, including [[German language|German]], Spanish, [[French language|French]] (''lilas''), Danish (''lilla''), [[Sweden|Swedish]] (''lila''), Finnish (''liila''), Romanian ("lila") and Hungarian ("lila"). A further possibility is that the name is a parody of the heroine from ''The Fifth Element'', ''Leeloo'' - the perfect woman. Additionally, in Bungie's 1994 Macintosh game Marathon, there is an AI character named Leela. Lastly, she might have been inspired by a character from the British Sci-Fi series ''[[wikia:c:tardis:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'' bearing the same name ([[wikia:c:tardis:Leela|Leela]]). "Turanga" may be derived from the symphony "{{w|Turangalila}}" by Olivier Messiaen ([[1908]]-1992). <ref>A record of the symphony appears in "[[Fry and Leela's Big Fling]]".</ref> The term derives from Sanskrit and means, alternately, "Song of Love" and "Hymn to Joy". Alternately, Turanga may derive from {{w|Taronga Zoo}}, the name of which is an Indigenous [[Australia]]n word for "beautiful view". <br />
*Even though Turanga is her family name and not her first name, it is said first when pronouncing her full name which may mean [[Leela's parents|her family]] is from East Asia, Hungary, Sri Lanka among other places in which surnames are said first in a personal name. <br />
*The designers kept trying to make Leela's nose smaller, because it was larger than they thought appropriate for a female character, but [[Matt Groening]] insisted it stay the larger size. <br />
*Unlike [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who is frequently chopped to pieces in the series, Leela tends to lose the use of her senses instead, namely sight and hearing. <br />
*As Fate Assignment Officer, her code number was 1BDI (or "one beady eye") {{et|1ACV01}}.<br />
**In another occular pun, Leela's apartment number is 1I.<br />
*Books read by Leela include ''[[True Stories of Courageous Animals]]'' {{et|3ACV02}}, ''[[Great Machete Battles]]'' {{et|4ACV01}}, ''[[Dances of the Ancient Bronx]]'' {{et|4ACV07}}, ''[[A Child's Garden of Space Legends]]'' {{et|4ACV09}}, and ''[[World's Bravest Hamsters]]'' {{et|6ACV06}}, plus the magazines ''[[Nosy Enquirer]]'' (headline: ''Bigfoot turns 80!'') {{et|4ACV15}} and ''[[Mu-Teen Magazine]]'' {{et|4ACV09}}.<br />
*Tends to snore.<br />
*Always uses lipstick, mostly pink, and is rarely seen without it.<br />
[[File:Lipstick.jpg|thumb|Leela applying lipstick]]<br />
*Used to brew her own beer at the orphanarium.<br />
*Can do the Robot Dance like no one else.<br />
*Owns her own harpoon.<br />
*Tends to fill her day with humdrum activities.<br />
*Is camera-shy.<br />
*Usually prepares her dinners in advance for one month and then freezes them.<br />
*Sometimes seen with a lime-green jacket in earlier episodes and Season 2.<br />
*For obvious reasons, no one can give the evil eye quite like her.<br />
*Adept in the use of weaponry like laser guns or machetes.<br />
*Used to play the drums.<br />
*Tends to play with her hair when upset or nervous.<br />
*Frequently accused of poor hygiene (sweaty boot rash, etc), but may be at a disadvantage due to her mutant physiology and energetic lifestyle.<br />
**As shown in [[Anthology of Interest I|the very first ''Anthology of Interest'']], Leela does not seem to wear socks under her boots. This may attribute to the 'poor' hygiene of her feet.<br />
*Usually, Leela only wears jewellery on special occasions. The exception from this was the ring in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" that [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] stole; it was never seen again. She also wears a bracelet made by [[Turanga Morris and Munda|her father]] at all times.<br />
*Apart from [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]], she is the only character that appears in every episode of the show and in every comic.<br />
*Has had six weddings; three were called off, two were followed by divorce and one was presumably erased from time. [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot]] performed the first three of these, [[Father Changstein El-Gamal]] performed the fourth. A sixth proposition was made, but the wedding never actually took place. It is unknown who performed her wedding to Cubert in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]". Her sixth and final wedding was performed by the [[Space Pope]], although he was frozen in time.<br />
**To [[Alcazar]] {{et|2ACV09}}<br />
**To [[Philip J. Fry]], followed by divorce {{et|3ACV14}}<br />
**To [[Robot Devil]] {{et|4ACV18}}<br />
**To [[Lars Fillmore]] {{et|5ACV03}}<br />
**To [[Yivo]], no wedding {{et|TBwaBB}}<br />
**To [[Cubert Farnsworth]], in a previous universe, towards the mid [[31st century]] {{et|6ACV07}}<br />
**To Fry. This wedding was presumably erased from time {{et|7ACV26}}<br />
*Can wield a gun with her foot, and hides one in her boot for easy access.<br />
*May very well be [[The other|the second-most important person in the universe]] behind Fry (though she doesn't know it).<br />
*Actually continued to legally work at [[Applied Cryogenics]] until [[2ACV11]]<br />
*Has been seen in a lime-green tank top (instead of her usual white one) once, in "[[My Three Suns]]".<br />
*Apparently wears a large contact lens.<br />
*Wears size 12 boots.<br />
*Slept with Fry in her what-if scenario in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and possibly in real life (see "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]"). Unambiguously slept with Fry in "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", while her mind was in the Professor's body and Fry's mind was in Zoidberg's body.<br />
*Licks her fingers starting with her pointer and ending with her thumb.<br />
*Her surname is revealed in the episode "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*She'd prefer to have the end locker at [[Planet Express headquarters|Planet Express]], but [[Amy]] won't trade with her.<br />

<br />
=== Catchphrases ===<br />
Leela's main [[catchphrase]] is "[[Oh, Lord]]", and also possibly her yell "[[Hi-yah!]]".<br />
<br />
She often uses old musical references, turning the first word into a verb and applying it to the last word as a noun. Examples:<br />
*"This wangs chung!" - A reference to both the band {{w|Wang Chung}}, and their hit song "{{w|Everybody Have Fun Tonight}}", which includes the line "Everybody Wang Chung tonight" {{et|3ACV03}}.<br />
*"This toads the wet sprocket!" - A reference to the band {{w|Toad the Wet Sprocket}} {{et|3ACV21}}.<br />
*"Setting Bachman Turners to overdrive!" - A reference to the band {{w|Bachman–Turner Overdrive}} {{et|6ACV13}}.<br />
<br />
[[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] also uses this formula when referring to her attraction to creative and musically-talented men. Examples:<br />
<br />
*"Musicians really Rodger your Hammerstein." - A reference to the famous composers {{w|Rodgers and Hammerstein}} {{et|4ACV18}}.<br />
<br />
Her phrase "[[Oh, Lord]]" is used quite a lot, usually just before a previous action comes back to haunt her, and has used variations of the phrase "Good night, sweet prince" from ''{{w|Hamlet}}'' when parting with Fry on several occasions ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]], [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|6ACV11]]).<br />

'''Philip J. Fry''' (often referred to only by his last name, ''Fry'') is the main protagonist and character of ''[[Futurama]]''. In the future, Fry is the executive delivery boy of [[Planet Express]], which his distant nephew [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] owns. Before being employed by Planet Express in the year 3000 he had worked for [[Panucci's Pizza]] during the late 20th century. On New Year's Eve 1999 he was cryogenically frozen by accident while on delivery. The [[cryo-tube]] timer was set at 1000 years; hence Fry woke to the last moments of the year [[2999]].<br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
[[File:Fry.png|left|thumb|100px|Philip J. Fry]]<br />
Philip J. Fry is a dim-witted man from the 20th century who gets frozen for 1,000 years, thawing out on New Year's Eve 2999. His character is largely an attempt by the show's creators to make the connection between the [[20th century]] and the [[31st century]] much easier for the viewers. Often, Fry is faced with differences in the future, which he then relates to things in his time. As a result, he frequently has to defend the actions of the 20th century.<br />
<br />
Although he is often depicted as stupid, Fry does occasionally come up with brilliant schemes to save the day, an ability which possibly comes from his intense love of ''[[Star Trek]]''. Fry, rivaled only by the [[energy being]] of [[Melllvar]], has the largest encyclopaedic knowledge of ''Star Trek'' in the future. Another example of Fry's occasional brilliance was during the [[Brain Spawn]] attack on [[Earth]]. With the rest of the crew stupefied, Fry was able to save Earth by exploiting the Brainspawn's weaknesses. Strangely enough, Fry's stupidity appears to be his greatest strength as he the only known person in the universe who lacks a [[Delta brainwave]] and therefore is immune to the Brainspawn's stupification fields. [[Ken]], a [[Nibblonians|Nibblonian]], has noted he possesses a "superior yet inferior" mind. He lacks the Delta brainwave because he is actually his own grandfather {{et|3ACV19}}.<br />
<br />
Also because he lacks the Delta brainwave, he is immune to telepathy. {{et|5ACV16}} {{et|2ACV08}}<br />
<br />
Fry is also usually quick to make very rash decisions, such as traveling back to the year 2000 (''[[Bender's Big Score]]'') or stowing away on Zapp Brannigan's ship to leave the universe after being upset about [[Colleen]] ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]).<br />
<br />
Despite being lazy, Fry's heart is in the right place, and when the situation calls for it, he will rise up to formulate a plan to save his friends, though because of his lack of intelligence he rarely comes up with any good plans. Fry cares about his friends, and in spite of [[Bender]]'s awful treatment of him at times, he is still willing to risk his life to save him, which Bender reciprocates. However, it shows that Fry enjoys Bender being "mean" to him, because when [[Bender]] has to leave the planet express crew for his own saftey, [[Clamps]] takes his place and behaves in the same way Bender would towards Fry and Fry just laughs and continues.<br />
<br />
Fry loves video games, and as such, he is usually shown to be very good at them, although not all games. He never actually managed to finish the final enemy on ''{{w|Space Invaders}}''; he always had to get his brother Yancy to do it for him. Though he may not be good at all games, his skills have made him a crackshot, and he usually mans the ship's weapons when they are under attack. He has also got a lot better at fighting, by "Fun on a Bun" {{et|7ACV08}} Also, Fry absolutely loves sewers, he once surfed (was surprisingly good) in various sewers around Earth cities with [[Turanga Morris]] & Bender, but got temporarily sick as a result.<br />
<br />
== Savantism ==<br />
Several instances throughout the series have suggested an abnormal mind tied to savantism and synesthesia:<br />
*Shown in "[[All the Presidents' Heads]]", he is a compulsive counter.<br />
*In "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" and "[[The Why of Fry]]", he is a colour-gustatory synesthete.<br />
*Throughout the series, he shows great intelligence countered by an inability to properly express it as such.<br />
*He is capable of incredible musical creativity, but lacks the physical means to express it. ("[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]")<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
{{further|Fry's past}}<br />
[[file:FryBirth.png|thumb|right|Fry's birth in [[1974]] with umbilical cord still attached {{et|3ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Philip J. Fry was born in {{August}} [[1974]], in the [[Brooklyn Pre-Med Hospital]] in [[Old New York]], a native of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Fry is the second son of [[Yancy Fry Sr.]] and [[Mrs. Fry]].<br />
<br />
During his formative years, Fry endured a great sibling rivalry with his older brother, [[Yancy Fry Jr.|Yancy Jr]]. Yancy constantly stole his ideas and, shortly after Fry was born, even wanted his younger brother's name. Yancy also frequently belittled Fry. 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 felt 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 got a job at [[Panucci's Pizza]] as a pizza delivery boy. While working for [[Mr. Panucci]], he met up with [[Michelle]] and they began a relationship. On a delivery in [[1997]], he meets up with [[Seymour Asses]], a dog he names after the addressee of the prank caller who ordered the delivery. Seymour becomes his best friend.<br />
<br />
[[file:Frozen Fry.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Fry is frozen for a thousand years in a cryogenics tube.]]<br />
<br />
=== Cryogenically Frozen - for a Thousand Years ===<br />
{{further|Space Pilot 3000}}<br />
On the fateful night of New Year's Eve, 1999, Fry is sent on another prank delivery to [[I. C. Wiener]]. When he arrives at the destination, [[Applied Cryogenics]], he realizes that it is a prank, but since he won't make it back to Panucci's before midnight, he decides to celebrate the New Year where he is. Then, while leaning his chair too far backwards, he falls into a [[Cryogenic Freezing Chamber|cryogenics tube]], which closes and freezes him for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve, 2999, the tube's timer finishes and Fry wakes up again. He is not at all sad about leaving his old life behind, and actually happy and relieved that it is all now behind him. He meets [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], who is employed by the Cryogenics Labs to assign [[Career chip|unfrozen people to jobs]]. She tells Fry about his living relative {{Farnsworth|Professor Hubert Farnsworth}}. Leela then tells Fry that the job that has been assigned to him is that of Delivery Boy. Faced with a return to the life of drudgery he knew in 1999, Fry flees. While running around [[New New York]], he enters a [[suicide booth]] (having mistaken it for a phone booth) and tries to contact his nephew.<br />
<br />
Fry meets a robot named [[Bender]] in the Suicide Booth and, after narrowly avoiding death, they grab a drink together. After a couple of beers, Bender decides to leave to re-attempt suicide, but Fry convinces him to stay by saying that he has always wanted a robot for a friend (or at least ever since he was six). Leela is still on his trail, though, after being forced by her boss, [[Ipji]], to pursue Fry and force him to accept the career chip.<br />
<br />
Leela follows Fry and Bender into the [[Head Museum]] and the ruins of Old New York, before finally catching up with them. To Fry's surprise, though, she decides to quit her job instead of forcing the job of delivery boy on him. Fry suggests they go to his distant nephew, Professor Farnsworth, to see if he can help. After [[Relative Box|confirming]] that he and Fry are related, the Professor decides to hire them as a replacement for his old crew.<br />
<br />
[[file:Promo 1ACV08.jpg|thumb|left|225px|Fry with [[Turanga Leela]] (left) and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez]] (middle), his closest work partners and friends.]]<br />
<br />
=== Planet Express Delivery Boy, First Class ===<br />
{{further|Season 1|Season 2}}<br />
Fry is hired on at his nephew's company as a delivery boy. Faced with the ability to travel around space, Fry is pleased with his new position. At first Fry lives in the Planet Express building, but after an [[I, Roommate|apartment hunt]] he ends up living in Bender's closet. Fry immediately develops an interest in Leela but, to his dismay, the feelings are not mutual.<br />
<br />
His work at Planet Express sees him thrown into several absurd adventures: he is briefly in a relationship with [[Amy Wong]], and while the company's bureaucrat, [[Hermes Conrad]], is away, he has an affair with the company's replacement bureaucrat, [[Morgan Proctor]]. Neither lasts very long, but when he almost destroys the Planet Express building and Hermes fires him (along with Bender and Leela) he gets Leela's former job by accident and finds his old girlfriend, Michelle, unfrozen. She does not enjoy life in the future, and asks him to come with her to the year 4000. After they wake up and realize that they are actually just in [[Los Angeles]] two days later, she dumps him in favour of [[Pauly Shore (character)|Pauly Shore]].<br />
<br />
At a truck stop Fry eats a bad egg sandwich and gets infected with parasites. The worms give him a complete tune up, and he becomes stronger, smarter, and is capable of impressing Leela with the [[Holophonor]]. He almost sleeps with her, but Fry fears that Leela is falling in love with the worms rather than himself, so he decides to get rid of them. He appears to be right: she immediately asks him to leave when he commits a relationship blunder; namely, talking about his previous fling with Amy Wong.<br />
<br />
=== The most important person in the universe ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<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 sleeping with her, the Professor (incorrectly) states Fry has become his own grandfather. Since Fry still existed after his grandfather died, his grandmother must have already become pregnant beforehand.<br />
<br />
At some point the [[Brain Spawn]] attack [[Earth]] and make all humans stupid. Fry is immune to the attack as he lacks the Delta brain wave. The [[Nibblonians]] work with Leela to get the message to Fry, who confronts [[the Big Brain]] in the New New York Public Library. Fry defeats the Big Brain, but when everyone is back to normal, no one has any memory of his actions and just think he is crazy.<br />
<br />
The Nibblonians call for his help again when the Brain Spawn are found to be collecting all information in the universe and plan to to destroy it when their task is complete. The Nibblonians explain that due to him lacking the Delta brain wave, and is immune to the Brain Spawn as long as he avoids prolonged thinking. It is revealed to him inside the [[Infosphere]] that it was [[Nibbler]] who made him fall into the tube and come to the future in the first place. Fry is sent back to 1999 by the Brain Spawn to stop Nibbler from freezing him, but Nibbler persuades Fry to allow himself to be frozen to save Leela's life, as no one would be able to stop the Brain Spawn from destroying the universe in the future.<br />

<br />
=== A deal with the devil ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
During the events with his coworkers, he became a [[Captain Yesterday|super hero]], met the cast of [[Star Trek]], wound up in a [[Parallel Universes|parallel universe]] where he and Leela had gotten married and gets his [[Human Horn|nose]] cut off.<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 Holophonor 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 unintentionally signed. Fry realizes that this ultimatum only has one solution: to give up the Robot Devil's hands. Since he cannot play any more, the opera is credited as the worst ever, though Leela remains behind to hear him finish.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lars Fillmore.png|thumb|left|225px|Fry's [[time paradox duplicate]], [[Lars Fillmore]].]]<br />
<br />
=== The secret to time travel ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
Planet Express' delivery license is revoked by the [[Box Network]], forcing the Professor to terminate his employees. But by the time the Professor gets around to telling them (two years later), their license is restored after a change in management at the Box Network- they are back in business. Fry becomes a centre of attention when Alien Scammers (led by [[Nudar]]) take over the Planet Express and find the [[machine language time code]] on Fry's buttocks. Using the code, a virus-infected Bender is ordered back in time to steal all of Earth's valuables from the past. However, Fry is more upset that [[Lars Fillmore]] is getting a chance with Leela.<br />
<br />
The scammers feel it best to be rid of the time code once they finally become anxious that the universe will be destroyed. Utilising a mirror, Fry manages to read the code off his buttocks and escapes back to January 1, 2000. Here he attempts to get some food from Mr. Panucci, but is unable to since he has no money from that era. He takes the pizza he delivered to I. C. Wiener, and 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 />
Even though Lars Fillmore calls off the wedding, Fry is unable to get Leela's attention. After having Hermes and Bender save the Earth, he decides on New Year's Eve of 3007, that Lars and Leela belong together. However, here it is revealed that Lars is the exact same time paradox duplicate he left at Applied Cryogenics.<br />
<br />
=== Pope of new religion ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After a brief relationship with [[Colleen]], he left through the anomaly and met [[Yivo]], they developed a relationship and Yivo took control of everyone in Universe Gamma (this universe) through tentacles in their necks. The brainwashed people joined [[Yivo's religion]], with Fry as their new [[pope]]. Eventually they found out that the tentacles in their necks were "[[Coinage|genticles]]" and that Yivo was mating with them. The religion was immediately abandoned. He was brought to live on Yivo, but was taken back by the [[Damned Army]].<br />
<br />
=== The bearer of the Die of Power ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Fry took part in [[Planet Express' Attack on Mombil "Mine"]] and was taken to [[Cornwood]] by Bender's imagination. Once there, he became [[Frydo]], and was given the duty of carrying the [[Die of Power]] and destroying it in the [[Geysers of Gygax]]. He was eventually corrupted by its power and fought [[Momon]] as a dragon. Momon won, and Cornwood was destroyed.<br />

=== Saving the universe again ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
In [[3009]], Fry was needed by the [[Legion of Mad Fellows]] to help defeat the [[Last Dark One|final Dark One]] and stop it from wiping out all life in the entire universe. Because he lacked the [[Delta Brainwave]], his mind could not be read, and due to an accident he could temporarily read minds. With all of creation on his shoulders, he found the Dark One by chance after believing himself to be it. However, the Dark One was only a [[Desert Muck Leech|small leech]], the [[Violet Dwarf Star]] became the [[Last Encyclopod|final Encyclopod]], which gave the once extinct plants and animals to the universe and easily destroyed the last Dark One, whom [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] then ate. The whole [[Planet Express crew]] flew into a [[wormhole]], after Fry and Leela expressed their true love for each other and kissed.<br />
<br />
=== Reborn ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
[[File:Mutated Fry.jpg|left|thumb|"Mutated" Fry.]]<br />
After emerging from the Panama Wormhole, the [[Planet Express]] crew crashed just outside the [[Planet Express headquarters|company headquarters]] and was killed in the explosion. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]], however, did not die, as he was using a [[safety sphere]] to protect his whole body. The Professor [[Rebirth|rebirthed]] his crew with the [[Birthing Machine]]. In the next few weeks, Fry helped save [[Earth]] from the [[V-GINY]], became one of the most popular [[Twitcher]] users ever after buying [[Mom]]'s [[eyePhone]], and assisted in the passing of [[Proposition ∞]], which legalized [[Robosexuality|robosexual marriage]] in [[New New York]]. Philip also went to [[Planet Vinci]] with his nephew to uncover [[Leonardo da Vinci]]'s shocking secret, participated in the [[Sith-il War|3010 Sith Invasion reenactment]] and forward-time-travelled through three [[Alternate Universes|different universes]]. In August, he witnessed the [[Thuban 9|Thubanian]] Invasion of Earth, went to the [[Robo-Planetoid]] wherein [[Robots]] were capable of both Creation and Evolution and [[The Mind-Switcher|changed minds]] with [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]] and [['Sweet' Clyde Dixon|Sweet Clyde]]. In September, Fry became one of the [[Sewer Mutants|Mutant]] leaders of the [[Devolution Revolution]] (although he was, in fact, not mutated but was in actuality lodged in the mouth of the mutated ''[[Mr. Astor]]'', which finally granted the [[NNY Sewers|sewer]] people their freedom with equal rights, as well as access to the surface of the city and celebrated his 100th delivery along with the rest of the Planet Express crew members. During that year, [[Fry-Leela relationship|his relationship with Leela]] progressed largely. He also killed celebrated business consultant [[Dan McMasters]], believing that he was [[Blorgulax|a vicious alien killer]].<br />

=== Age ===<br />
Fry was frozen at age 25 for 1000 years making him 1025. Then 4 years later at age 1029 chronologically, was youthisized to age 14, reverse-aged to near unbirth, then re-aged, supposedly to his correct biological age, 29, in the fountain of aging {{et|4ACV09}}. 4 years later at age 33 he went back in time and was frozen yet again for 1007.95 years making him 2040 but still biologically only 33. Based on Leela's speculation there is a chance after the fountain of aging he is less than 30: the professor never scans them with his age detector. After the events of the fourth movie he is about 2041 years old. His biological age may have reset entirely in "[[Rebirth]]" as, unlike the others, he was reduced to only a lump of flesh and his hair before being reborn. After the events of "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]", Fry may potentially be over 20 duodecillion(short scale) years old, having travelled through the entirety of the universe twice with Bender and Professor Farnsworth. However, the [[forward time machine]] appeared to be insulated from the passage of time outside of it, and so this has only biologically aged him a few minutes older than he should be relative to the inhabitants of the new universe.<br />
<br />
=== Lars Fillmore ===<br />
{{main|Lars Fillmore}}<br />
In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', he has a duplicate that lives in [[Old New York]] with [[Leelu]] and everyone from [[Fry's past|Fry's old, 20th-century life]]. He was thought to be killed by an explosion caused by an [[iObey|obedience virus]] controlled Bender, but it actually burns off his hair and damages his voice box, turning him into [[Lars Fillmore]].<br />

<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Fry was intended as the viewer's representation in the future, with the future being presented to the audience through Fry's eyes. Fry was originally intended to have a [[Pocket Pal]] with him to explain the future for him,<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=Less than Hero |volume=Four |disc=1}}</ref><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |film=The Beast with a Billion Backs}}</ref> though that idea was scrapped with the future being described through the events the occurred around him.<ref name="epLTH-com-dxc"/><ref name="fTBWABB-com-dxc"/> Fry's jacket is based on {{w|James Dean}}'s outfit in ''{{w|Rebel Without a Cause}}''.<ref name="fSP3K-com-mg">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1}}</ref><br />
<br />
The story of his brother, [[Yancy Fry, Jr.]], was not an original idea from the beginning of the series, but at the same time, they avoided specifying Fry's siblings in the early episodes, to leave space for additional stories.<ref name="epLOTF-com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Luck of the Fryrish |volume=Three |disc=1}}</ref> In the [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000|original storyboard]] to [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot]], Fry mentions having [[Fry's sister|a sister]], but this was abandoned in the final episode.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
[[File:101-Board 62.jpg|left|thumb|The storyboard saying Fry's name "should match [[Phil Hartman]]'s actual spelling".]]<br />
Fry was originally set to be named ''Curtis'', but was renamed Philip to honor [[Phil Hartman]], a voice actor who had played several roles on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' over the years. Hartman was originally set to play [[Zapp Brannigan]] on ''[[Futurama]]'', but died only shortly before ''Futurama'''s beginning. Within the show, Fry was named Philip by his father after Phillips screwdrivers.<br />
<br />
Another actor who was intended to play Fry is [[Charlie Schlatter]].<br />
<br />
He is not to be confused with Philip J. Fry of Hovering Squid World 97A {{et|4ACV10}}, his nephew [[Philip J. Fry II]] (named after him), or his [[time paradox duplicate]] who later identified himself as "[[Lars Fillmore]]."<br />
<br />

*His social security number is 03280810. (Note: This is one digit short of that used in actual Social Security numbers. Further, the first three digits of a Social Securty number indicate birthplace. A Social security number starting with "032" would indicate a birth in Massachusetts, which we know is incorrect.)<br />
*Became [[Frydo]] in ''[[Bender's Game]]''.<br />
*Along with Farnsworth, his facial hair is brown despite his hair being red.<br />
*His copy ([[Lars Fillmore|Lars]]) may have worked at a casino at some point between [[2000]] and [[2012]].<br />
*Holds the title of "Universe's #4307697 Delivery Boy", according to his mug, as seen in "[[The Cryonic Woman]]".<br />

}}<br />
'''Bender Bending Rodriguez''' (Model: '''[[bending units|bending unit]] 22''') is a bending unit (serial number: 2716057), 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 {{w|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 />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
Bender is often selfish and insensitive to other people's emotions. At one point, he flushed Leela's beloved pet Nibbler down the toilet. He is also quite vain, frequently bragging about how great he is. Bender has no qualms about committing crimes and often steals people's wallets or items from shops. He loves smoking and drinking, though as a robot he has to drink alcohol to keep him going. (The cigars just make him look cool.) Bender can also be cruel at times and even sometimes treats his own friends badly. He is also extremely lazy, and is often seen sitting around on the couch drinking a beer and/or watching television.<br />
<br />
However, he is capable of caring for others and is close friends with Leela and Fry, even though he often acts obnoxious and mean towards them. Bender seems genuinely happy for Leela when she is reunited with her long lost parents and was devastated when he is ordered to kill Fry in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''. Considering he is still upset when he returns to the future it's possible he might have been mourning Fry for nearly a thousand years.<br />
<br />
[[File:Countessdelaroca.png|thumb|right|Countess de la Roca {{et|1ACV10}}, one of the fembots he had a relationship with.]]<br />
<br />
Bender also has a fair few romantic relationships with fembots, such as [[Countess de la Roca]] and [[Angleyne]]. Bender can be quite emotional at times, despite stating that robots aren't supposed to have emotions, and is empathic towards turtles since they have hard shells and have difficulty getting up if they fell on their backs, two things they share in common with Bender. He also becomes the leader of a group of penguins at one point. Bender also idolised the Harlem Globetrotters and wanted to become one of them and started crying when they refused to let him join.<br />
<br />
Bender also loves cooking though he had little talent for it and would often cook things that were either inedible or just barely edible. In certain episodes however, he has been able to make food successfully, making a cake for Nibbler's birthday party which was promptly eaten by the Nibblonian.<br />
<br />
As a robot, Bender has quite a lot of abilities. He is able to stretch his arms long distances as well as record data in his head, once using this to get Richard Nixon to give him back his body. He also breathes fire whenever he burps and when he is terrified he sometimes ejects bricks from his backside which is his variant of defecation. (This is a reference to the slang phrase, to "s**t bricks", meaning to be very scared or surprised.) Although he usually only does this while in a state of shock, he has also done it after eating an {{w|Olestra}} potato chip from the 20th century. Bender is also very strong, even managing to bend a supposedly [[unbendable girder]]. <br />
<br />
Bender is able to remove numerous parts of his body such as his head, arms, legs and even eyes. When he is staring at something or someone his eyes frequently extended out of his head. Like turtles he can withdraw into his chest when he chooses to. Bender can also survive in lava for a short time, though when he displays this ability his eyes melted as soon as he came out of the lava. Bender's body has also been used as a popcorn maker {{et|1ACV05}}, crock pot {{et|6ACV23}}, and steam engine (6ACV23).<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Montholdbender.png|thumb|left|Bender when he was only a month old {{et|2ACV14}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
Bender Bending Rodriguez was built in [[Tijuana]], Mexico in the early [[2990s]], although he believed it was in [[2998]], by [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]]. He has a fatal defect leaving him as mortal as a human. This seems almost impossible, as he is known to have time-traveled to the past (using the time code) and wait until the normal time again, which would make him thousands of years old. He lacks the hardware necessary for him to save a copy of his software daily, so unlike other bending units, if he begins to die, he cannot upload his data to another body. Nevertheless, his body is still extremely tough. Tough enough that he survived a small-scale nuclear war on his body with no harm, and only a tickling sensation {{et|3ACV20}}. Inspector 5 ([[Hermes]]) knew of the defect but let him live. There is some speculation about what happened in the following two years, but he briefly studied Bending at Bending State University, which may or may not be the facility he was built in. He minored in Robo-American Studies.<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 31 December, 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 him escape through the [[Head Museum]] and soon down to [[Old New York]] below [[New New York]]. Here Leela finally caught up with them and agreed to help Fry. Bender decided to stay with them and they headed over to Fry's nephew, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. Farnsworth soon offered them jobs, and luckily for them, he had the proper career chips.<br />
<br />
=== Farnsworth's asset ===<br />
As an employee at Planet Express he continued his kleptomania, drinking and smoking. He convinced Fry to [[I, Roommate|move in with him]] at his [[Apartment 00100100|apartment]] 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 only served to make him more annoying to his friends. So they decided to make Bender sin to become his regular self again, inadvertently condemning him to [[Robot Hell]]. Feeling guilty, Fry and Leela tracked Bender down and saved him from the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
<br />
Bender has, in fact, found true love before, in the form of an aristocratic fembot, the [[Countess de la Roca]], whose relationship with him strongly resembled that of the protagonists of the movie ''{{w|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}''. When the ''[[Titanic]]'' ship was being sucked into a black hole (due to [[Zapp Brannigan]] altering the ship's course), she was the only passenger to go down with it. But, despite this, 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 />

<br />
=== The lesser of two evils ===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
During a visit to [[Past-O-Rama]] they bumped into [[Flexo]] (serial number: 3370318), 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, on the condition that he had to spend one night within its walls. 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 />
=== Now when I'm found in a million years, people 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, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who went temporarily insane. He got to go on tour with [[Beck]] after becoming paralysed from a freak accident with a can opener, thus fulfilling his dream of becoming a folk-singer, became Pharaoh of an entire planet, driving everyone (including Fry and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]) into slavery, and beat [[Elzar]] on the [[television]] show ''[[Iron Cook]]''. However, he did not accept the title of Iron Cook, only the lesser title of Zinc Saucier (which he made up, and comes with double prize money).<br />
<br />
During a battle with [[Space Pirates]], Bender was 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 viciously killed each other in a nuclear war, started by Bender's need for booze, Bender met up with the [[Galactic Entity]], who he believes ''is'' God. The Entity eventually sent Bender back to [[Earth]] after receiving a radio signal from Fry.<br />
<br />
=== I should not be allowed on TV! ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Bender-TV.JPG|thumb|right|Bender as [[Antonio]] on ''[[All My Circuits]]'' {{et|4ACV06}}.]]<br />
<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 learned 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 the war was won (with the help of Hermes), 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 give him a "robotomy". But during the operation, the [[dark matter]] crystals becomes close enough, allowing Bender's imagination 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 [[Great Wizard Greyfarn|Greyfarn]], where they learn of the story behind the Die. Titanius is slightly against the quest, but decides to tag 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, [[Fellowship]] decides to seek [[Wipe Castle]] for help. Unfortunately, the [[King of Cornwood]] is insane, and the entire royal army is gone, because the king declared war on scallops, tied the entire army to a rock, and pushed them into the ocean. 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. However, they are too late and Momon wins the battle, causing them to return to their world.<br />
<br />
=== I'm...so...GREAT!! ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
Bender takes a trip to [[Mars Vegas]] with the rest of the crew. There, he falls in love with [[Fanny]], a burlesque dancer, who is the [[Donbot]]'s wife. He enters the [[Universal Poker Championship]] Tournament for her and wins against Fry with five kings.<br />
<br />
After returning to Earth, Bender feels upset that the [[Feministas]] are committing more felonies than him. He gets hired by [[Zapp Brannigan]] to help him capture the Feministas. By getting Bender to wire tap Fry's "cellphone-telephone" Zapp finds out where the Feministas are hiding and chases them aboard the [[Nimbus]], along with Bender and [[Kif Kroker|Kif]]. After an exciting space chase, Bender captures the Feministas and goes against them in court. They are found guilty and sent to [[Maxi-Padlock]] Prison.<br />
<br />
Bender then breaks into the women's prison and helps the Feministas escape, because by doing so, he would have committed way more felonies than the women. He bends a brick wall and calls Farnsworth, who pilots the Planet Express Ship down to rescue them from the prison's forces. They crash a demolition ceremony, and in the end, Bender is sent through a [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]] with the rest of the Planet Express Crew.<br />
<br />
=== Dying sucks butt! ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being rebirthed {{et|6ACV01}}, Bender starts a [[robosexual]] relationship with [[Amy Wong|Amy]] {{et|6ACV04}}, after [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] dumps her for flirting with criminal inmates, despite his previously affirming that "[[Humans]] dating [[Robots]] is sick" {{et|3ACV15}}. Amy and Bender decided to marry, and manage to pass [[Proposition ∞|a proposition]] to legalize robosexual marriage. However, Bender leaves her upon realizing she wants a monogamous marriage. He participated in a [[Sith Invasion re-enactment|re-enactment of the Sith-il War]], after which he learned that he was built without a back-up unit {{et|6ACV06}}. He then goes with [[Hermes Conrad]] to determine why. Despite failing to do so, Bender uses the experience to reaffirm his stance on life. <br />
<br />
Later, Bender witnesses robots undergoing evolution on a [[Robo-planetoid|deserted planetoid]] {{et|6ACV09}}. He was nearly killed after [[Mind-switcher|switching bodies]] with a [[Emperor Nikolai|Robo-Hungarian Emperor]] {{et|6ACV10}}. Later, he threw a [[100th Delivery Party|party celebrating Planet Express' 100th delivery]] {{et|6ACV12}}. After abruptly ending the party, Bender participated in the [[Devolution Revolution]], using his expertise to bend the [[Westside Pipeway]]. <br />
<br />
When the crew crashes on [[Neutopia (planet)|a gender-neutral planet]], everyone's genders are switched in a freak accident and Bender resumes his feminine [[Coilette]] persona before the genders are corrected {{et|6ACV20}}. He then runs havok with the Professor's duplicator, creating exponentially miniature versions of himself that almost consume Earth but later band together to save it from [[Unattractive giant monster|a hideous monster]] {{et|6ACV17}}, though he dies soon afterward when a [[suicide booth]] murders him {{et|6ACV19}}. Bender lingers as a ghost but bargains with the [[Robot Devil]] to get his material body back in exchange for [[Fry]]. He attempts to scare him to death, but when Fry discloses his love for Bender, Bender refuses to kill Fry and ends up protecting him. [[Robot God]] then invites Bender to an existence in Robot Heaven as his reward, but Bender declines and returns to the crew.<br />
<br />
After crashing a [[Robot Mafia]] wedding and making out with [[Bella]], [[Donbot]]'s daughter, Bender is forced to enter the witness relocation program {{et|6ACV14}}, and [[Francis X. Clampazzo|Clamps]] replaces him at work as an in for the Mafia to discover Bender's whereabouts and kill him. The crew is led to the [[Moon]] to [[Billy West (robot)|a hillbilly robot]] identical to Bender, but Bender is discovered to be in hiding as a waiter at the [[Family Bros. Pizza|pizza parlor]] across the street, and returns to work when the Mafia takes him for dead.<br />

=== A new child ===<br />
{{further|Season 7}}<br />
<br />
[[File:The Bots and the Bees screenshot.png|thumb|right|Bender and his son [[Ben]] {{et|7ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
In [[3012]], Planet Express acquired a new soda machine named [[Bev]]. They did not get along very well, but a fight of theirs eventually culminated in sex. The next day, Bev gave birth to Bender's child. Bender did not take this well, worrying over his fatherhood and eventually learning about robot reproduction for the first time, as his mother's religious fundamentalism kept her from teaching him this information. He attempted to give custody of the child to Bev, presenting her with a certificate of abandonment, but she too did not take having a child well, and she left Bender with custody of the child. Though he was initially disappointed over this, he eventually discovered that his child took an interest in bending. Naming the child [[Ben Rodriguez|Ben]], they formed a bond with each other, but to their surprise, discovered that Ben's lack of arm control software and an additional expansion slot prevented him from bending. At Ben's Bot-Mitzvah, Ben expressed for his appreciation for his father as well as his hopes of bending just like him. At the ceremony, however, Bev regained custody of Ben, separating him from his father. That night, Bender broke Ben out of [[Bev's trailer]], but were caught in their escape by the police, who arrested Bender on grounds of kidnapping. Bev showed up at the scene and gave birth to [[Bev and URL's child|another child]], and content with having another child to neglect, allowed Bender to keep Ben. Ben, however, was still disappointed in not being unable to bend, so he takes up an offer by the Professor to have a bending card installed in him - consequently losing all his memories of Bender. Bender, though tearful, allowed the surgery to go on, and eventually accompanied his son to his enrollment at [[Bending State University]] in Santa Cruz {{et|7ACV01}}.<br />
<br />
He later briefly worked as a paparazzo for ''[[Us People]]'' magazine {{et|7ACV04}}.<br />
<br />
In [[3013]], Bender entered [[NNY Recreation Center|a tap-dance contest]] {{et|7ACV25}}.<br />
<br />
=== Ruler of Earth ===<br />
After Nixon's fourth term in office began, things went downhill for the Earthican population to the point when robots began doing all the tedious labor and consequently, they began a rebellion led by Bender {{et|7ACV03}}. At some point between 3014 and 3028 Bender became ruler of Earth and started killing humans, thus fulfilling his life-long desire.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
=== Composition ===<br />
Bender routinely claims to be made of thirty to forty percent of various metals, typically following his claims up by knocking on his own chassis. Unfortunately, his credibility on this matter is thrown into question by the fact that his various claims now add up to well over one hundred percent. Bender has alternately claimed to be:<br />
<br />
*40% zinc {{et|1ACV13}}<br />
*40% titanium {{et|A Head in the Polls}}<br />
*30% iron {{et|The 30% Iron Chef}} - Presumably mixed with osmium. {{et|3ACV17}}<br />
*40% dolomite {{et|4ACV07}}<br />
*40% lead ([[Futurama (video game)|FVG]]) - Canon status of video game uncertain.<br />
*40% luck/horseshoes ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]) - Composition of the horseshoes unknown.<br />
*40% chromium {{et|Attack of the Killer App}} - Bender was not the one to make this claim, it was an [[Antarian]].<br />
*60% storage space {{et|The Prisoner of Benda}}<br />
*40% scrap metal {{et|All the Presidents' Heads}}<br />
*40% wire {{et|Decision 3012}}<br />
*40% empty {{et|Free Will Hunting}}<br />
*40% ass {{et|Naturama}} - Non-[[canon]].<br />
<br />
In "[[Near-Death Wish]]", Bender states that a set of virtual adaptor caps stored inside of him (that he uses to get himself, Fry and Leela into [[Virtual Retirement]]) are "40% safe", but this probably wouldn't count as part of his composition. In "[[Assie Come Home]]", Bender's body (except for his eyes and mouth) is stolen, so he uses the help of Fry and Leela to retrieve it. After finding his head, antenna and torso, he says: "I'm 40% back, baby!". This is a combination of two of Bender's [[catchphrase]]s; one being him stating a percentage of what he is composed of, the other being "I'm back, baby!".<br />
<br />
Total: 150% - 370% or greater. The number is dependent on whether or not one counts various claims as true. First the "40% Horseshoes" claim, as the supposed horseshoes could have been made of one or more of the other metals previously stated (Titanium, Iron, or Lead), meaning that one could have been a restatement rather than a new figure. Second, it depends on whether or not he considers his storage space and wires to be part of the total percentage of himself, in which case the remaining 40% each that he often claims to be would constitute the rest of his body. Third, the claim of "40% Lead" is dependent on whether the video game can be considered canon. Fourth and finally, whether the claim of "40% Chromium" is accepted at all. This claim was not made by Bender but rather one of the Antarians. It is plausible that the claim is false and that it was just made to justify the in-progress cannibalization of Bender's body. All this can be considered false if we account for the fact that Bender often loses body parts, and it is possible that replacements have a differant substance mixture.<br />
<br />
Even if all previous points made are taken into account and only the first four claims were used, Bender's composition would be 150%, far more than what is possible. This error can be explained as due to Bender's being a poor calculator, making it plausible that he has given the wrong percentages {{et|3ACV09}}.<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 {{et|3ACV17}}.<br />
<br />
There's also a mention that robots are made from recycled beer cans and beer cans are made from recycled robots {{et|1ACV08}}, so depending on the year 3000 composition of beer cans, he may have a certain percentage of aluminum in his alloy.<br />
<br />
As a side note, ''{{w|Dolemite}}'' is also the title of a 1974 film. The film's main character, Dolemite, is a pimp who leads an army of hookers skilled in kung-fu.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072895/ IMDB - Dolemite]</ref> Bender has been a pimp many times throughout the series.<br />
<br />
This running gag is referenced in the title of the episode "[[Forty Percent Leadbelly]]".<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />

*[[Tandy]], Uncle Vladimir's son and hence Bender's [[list of cousins|cousin]].<br />
*Screwy Aunt Rita, who ''is'' a screw. (Note that Bender stated that he had an Aunt Rita during Leela's coma fantasy in the episode "[[The Sting]]", so this may not be true.)<br />

<br />
=== Relationships ===<br />
Although Bender has slept with numerous [[Fembot|Fembots]], his most notable relationships are (in order of appearance):<br />
*[[Lulubelle 7]] (possibly)<br />
*[[Daisy Mae 128k]] (possibly)<br />
*[[The Crushinator]]<br />
*[[Countess de la Roca]]<br />
*[[Femputer]]<br />
*A penguin<br />
*[[Angleyne]]<br />
*[[Lucy Liu's head]]<br />
*[[Planet Express Ship]]<br />
*[[Calculon]]<br />
*[[Fanny]]<br />
*[[Amy Wong|Amy]]<br />
*[[Bella]]<br />
*[[Bev]]<br />
=== Age ===<br />
According to himself, Bender was originally constructed in [[2998]], making him one year old when Fry met him in 2999, but several later discoveries supports the theory that he was in fact born earlier. Bender's memory as newborn is as a complete, fullgrown robot, but events in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" suggest that his current, fullgrown body merely was the final stage, and it is possible that Bender only remembers entering this final stage - what he considers being born. Or, the effects of the de-aging tar may have made him smaller somehow.<br />
<br />
In Season 6 episode "[[Lethal Inspection]]", it is revealed that Hermes supervised Bender's construction before getting the job in [[Planet Express]], and is seen much younger than he must have been in the late [[2990s]]. We also see that the state in which he was supervised - reminiscent of a human baby - much differs from the one Bender remembers from 2998. In "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", it can be shown that Hermes was already in the company in [[2993]], and thus Bender must have been born in that year at least, and possibly even earlier. However, Hermes might have quit, worked for Mom, and come back.<br />
<br />
[[File:Roswell that ends well.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The events of "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" aged Bender's head 1055 years ahead of his body.]]<br />
<br />
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 aging or the opposite, and fans largely regard his age to remain intact. In {{f|1}}, 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. An alternative theory could suggest when the time duplicates explode at the end of the first film, Bender is the same age he was at the end of the original run plus 995 years, as the Bender that went back 995 years in time to kill Fry is presumed to be the original and therefore wouldn't expire like the rest of them.<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 considered [[canon]].<br />
<br />
=== Durability ===<br />
Bender frequently displays incredible durability, to the point that he appears to be indestructible. He has been completely flattened, hit point-blank with a shotgun, had several chips removed from his severed head, then had his head [[Roswell That Ends Well|buried for over a thousand years]], had his lower torso melted from a cosmic electrical disturbance, been [[Godfellas|launched out of a torpedo tube then withstood atmospheric reentry]], [[Jurassic Bark|submerged himself in lava]], and been burned to nothing but his eyes and mouth after converting his body entirely into wood<br />
(though this was a [[Obsoletely Fabulous|dream]], but it is implied the dream could actually happen). In "[[Rebirth]]", after having been nearly eaten by a [[cyclophage]] and have a [[Doomsday Devices|doomsday device]] explode inside him, he remarks "What does it take to kill me?". A bomb has also exploded inside him in "[[War Is the H-Word]]" (twice). He survives being shot point-blank at [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|least]] [[Law and Oracle|three]] [[Benderama|times]] in Season 6, survived [[Neutopia|being completely melted]], was [[Ghost in the Machines|able to come out of Limbo after having been killed]] and [[The Tip of the Zoidberg|had his head sliced in half by spinning blades.]]<br />
<br />
However, as it's revealed in "[[Lethal Inspection]]", Bender was built without a backup unit. This means he can't download his personality or memories to another body, which he wanted to do if his original body got killed. Therefore, if his body is destroyed, he dies. As it turned out, [[Hermes Conrad|Inspector #5]] was the one responsible for mercifully approving Bender as a perfect robot, thus allowing him to live despite actually being a defective [[Robots|robot]].<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Bender is bending unit 22. "Bender Bending Rodriguez" has 22 letters.<br />
*Bender's e-mail address is: bender@iloveBender.com<br />
*It is recommended that he run on 5 gigawatts.<br />
*Interestingly enough, Bender appears to have been an entirely different [[Robot]] before having met Fry. They meet when Bender is (at the very least) guilty and willing to kill himself over his dismay at finding out that the girders he had been bending were for [[suicide booth]]s. However, after Bender bends the bars keeping them from escaping Leela, Bender declares that from then on he will live his life only for him and do only what he wants to do. This may, however, just be an overlook by the writers of the show simply for the sake of introducing Fry to the drastic changes the future has brought (booths that are as ubiqitous as phone booths for suicide; walking, talking Robots).<br />
**This sudden change could be explained by the electric shock Bender received shortly before bending the bars. Not only did it change his programming, it changed his opinions on various things.<br />
**A year later however, Bender presents a picture of himself when he was only a month old with a bottle of beer and a cigar {{et|2ACV14}}, showing he has always been a "precocious little scamp" {{et|3ACV06}}.<br />
***All robots need beer to function, and that may not have been a cigar.<br />
****It was probably a cigar. However, drinking and smoking do not necessarily mean he is amoral befor the electric shock. He smoked cigars from the very first episode, saying "they make me look cool".<br />
*He has been [[New New York v. Bender|charged]] for pimping.<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's head contains a {{w|MOS Technology 6502|6502 Microprocessor}} {{et|1ACV13}}, and his ass an {{w|Athlon II}} {{et|6ACV25}}. It is possible that inbetween the events of {{et|1ACV13}} and {{et|6ACV25}}, he got a processor change, which would make sense considering that the Athlon II was introduced in 2009. After Cubert overclocks Bender's ass, Bender discovers that he has "an extra processor in his compartment of mystery".<br />
*Bender dies at the end of both of his what-if scenarios in each Anthology of Interest and both have one of the characters saying "Goodnight, sweet prince" (Fry in the first and Farnsworth in the second) to Bender when he dies.<br />
*His self-destruct code is "1A2B3". However, this appears to cause only his head to self-destruct, leaving the rest of his body intact and functional. This is a reference to the self-destruct codes of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS) episode "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield" and "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" movie. However, the final code that must be entered is "0 0 0 Destruct 0" which leads to the destruction.<br />
*Bender cannot have magnets attached to his head, or it will "screw up his inhibition unit", thus causing him to sing crazy variations of folk songs.<br />
*Apparently stole the Prime Minister of Norway's arm.<br />
*Despite Bender being made of various metals as hard as iron and titanium, [[humans]] and other organic organisms seem to have little to no difficulty harming his metal body using only their fists and feet.<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 />
*In addition, he seems to own the skeletal remains of Charlamagne, as shown in "[[Jurassic Bark]]".<br />
*Bender has Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fear of the number 666, as hinted in "[[The Honking]]".<br />
*Bender is the most evil robot 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 sentence in all 4 [[film]]s: "Well, we're boned" {{et|BBS}}, "I love you, meatbags!" {{et|TBwaBB}}, "Whip harder, Professor!" {{et|BG}}, "Into the breach, meatbags. Or not, whatever" {{et|ItWGY}}.<br />
*Bender's waste management facilities may convert material he consumes into bricks.<br />
*Bender's mighty robot powers allow him to get sick of things much quicker than humans.<br />
*Bender is said to be roughly 500 pounds in "[[Gender Bender]]" but in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' he says he is 2 tons. Despite this, he is shown as being easily lifted and carried by Fry in "[[Ghost in the Machines]]", suggesting that he may be significantly lighter than either of the above figures.<br />
*He goes into sleep mode whenever there is too much exposition.<br />
*Bender has appeared in ''[[Family Guy]]'', "[[The Simpsons]]", and ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''.<br />
*He has referred to his chest compartment as his "compartment of mystery" (6ACV25).<br />
*Bender was featured on the front cover of all the Futurama DVDs, until [[Volume 6]].<br />
*In March 2012, hackers elected Bender to the {{w|District of Columbia Public Schools|D.C. school board}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2012/03/02/futuramas-bender-elected-to-dc-schoolboard/|title=Futurama's Bender Elected to DC School Board! <nowiki>|</nowiki> Comedy Central Insider <nowiki>|</nowiki> Funny, TV and Comedy Blog|author=Tobey, Matt|date=2012-03-02|site=[[Comedy Central]] Insider|accessdate=2012-03-02}}</ref><br />
*Even though his head has been shown to function as a camera many times before (the first time being in "[[When Aliens Attack]]"), he still carries around his own portable camera (with film!) to remember "neat" events.<br />
*He owns a black-handled switchblade, which he often uses to sharpen wooden sticks to use for protection while in prison.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
[[File:Rodriguez BBS.png|thumb|225px|Bender's name in the [[opening sequence]] for ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''.]]<br />
Bender's full name was not revealed until Season 3. This is a list of appearances of the name "Rodriguez".<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 {{w|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 />
=== Catchphrases ===<br />
Bender's basic [[catchphrase]] is "[[Bite my shiny metal ass]]".<br />
<br />
Variations on this include the following:<br />
*Bite my red-hot glowing ass! {{er|1ACV12}}<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! {{er|2ACV04}}<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! {{er|2ACV16}}<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! {{er|4ACV14}}<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! {{er|4ACV15}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{er|BG}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. <small>(said by [[Fry]])</small> {{er|ItWGY}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! <small>(said by a microscopic [[Bender duplicate]])</small> {{er|6ACV17}}<br />
*''Bite my fhiny metal aff'' {{er|6ACV23}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! <small>(said by Bender during the video-game segment)</small> {{er|6ACV26}}<br />
<br />
Other common catchphrases are:<br />
*"[[Me, Bender]]": whenever he says "me", he usually follows it with "Bender", thus producing the sentence "me, Bender." Thus making this the most said character name on the show.<br />
*"Well, [[we're boned]].", said in situations where he, or a group of people including him, are in a large amount of trouble.<br />
*"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. At one point, Bender just said, "Yeah, we're back." while filing his "nails" after escaping the wormhole.<br />
*"[[Neat!]]", when Bender is taking a picture with [[Bender's camera|his purple camera]], usually of something disturbing or disgusting.<br />
*"Cheese it!" whenever he encourages other characters to run away from trouble. This is used less commonly.<br />
*"[[Fun on the bun]]", another less common catchphrase that is used whenever Bender describes amusement.<br />
*"He's pending for a bending.", a phrase used as a warning very few times throughout the show.<br />
*"[[Bender is great!]]", like "Me, Bender", he usually likes to say this to emphasize his enormous ego.<br />
*"Oooh!", a ghostly/eerie noise often accompanied by jazz hands when feigning supernatural abilities, etc... (The Gypsy machine also did this once to Fry)<br />
*"[[Kill all humans]]..." This is a much more prevalent saying of Bender's in the early episodes.<br />
<br />
Bender also has a tendency to call humans "meatbag" when he is displeased or annoyed with them. Additionally, Bender regularly says "Kill all humans", although, in [[The Sting|Leela's dream]] he claims to whisper "except one", referring to Fry, every time too. In "Naturama" when Bender is represented as an elephant seal, he mutters "Kill all penguins" in his sleep.<br />
<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Bender as seen in a "What If?" scenario, about to get attacked by giant [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] {{et|2ACV16}}.]]<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 />
<ol start="10"><br />
<li>Chump</li><br />
<li value="9">Chumpette</li><br />
<li value="8">Yours</li><br />
<li value="7">Up</li><br />
<li value="6">Pimpmobile</li><br />
<li value="5">Bite</li><br />
<li value="4">My</li><br />
<li value="3">Shiny</li><br />
<li value="2">Daffodil</li><br />
<li value="1">Ass</li><br />
</ol><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 {{f|2}}. "Chumpette" is only uttered once though. "Pimpmobile" was also spoken by Bender in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]]. However, in all likelihood, Bender's real most spoken words would most likely be along the lines of any other speaker of the English language: the, and, I, a, so; etc. However, such words may have been excluded from the list<br />
<br />
=== Assets and titles ===<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 />
*Served as Prime Minister of [[Trisol]] under the brief rule of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry the Solid]] (most likely terminated when the old emperor came back into power or when Bender and the rest of the crew fled Trisol).<br />
*A castle, inherited from his [[Vladimir|uncle]], though possibly forfeited when he failed to spend a night within.<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 (Zinc Saucier)<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 />
*Pharaoh of [[Osiris 4]]<br />
*Prime Minister of Norway, due to him having the real Prime Minister of Norway's hand AND career chip<br />

<div>{{DISPLAYTITLE:Toynami ''Futurama'' Figures}}<br />
In [[2007]]<ref>[http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&category=actionfigures&topic=125&show_article=98&nl=1 Figures.com]</ref> the '''[http://www.toynami.com/futurama.html Toynami]''' toy line received the rights to produce ''[[Futurama]]'' action figures. There have been other lines with this license, but none lasted long. However, this is the longest consistent action figure line, with 9 series so far released, and at least 10 series currently planned. The figures are an average of 6 inches or 15 centimetres tall. As of 23 April, 2013, the main line of figures and the talking Robot Devil are officially cancelled, with the Tineez and plush lines to continue. A Kickstarter campaign announced by Toynami at San Diego Comic Con 2013 for the main series Mobro. The campaign, if launched and funded successfully may help revive other cancelled Toynami Futurama products.<br />

=== Unreleased ===<br />
Please note that Toynami's figures are often released several months after the initially announced dates. While the line has been cancelled, the following may still emerge for sale, possibly at Comic-Con.<br />
{{Miscmerchtablestart|'''[[Morbo]] (Vinyl)'''|[[File:Toynami Morbo fullsize.jpg|140px]]||History: Morbo was initially listed as a build-a-figure for series 9. It was then decided not to produce buildable figures any more, so he became a main figure for series 10 with Lrrr. Next he was listed as Deluxe, followed by a change to Vinyl, this alternate material was presumably to prevent a large price difference. Toynami then announced on its Facebook page that series 10 was cancelled and there were no plans to make any new figures. However, Morbo resurfaced at SDCC 2013 with the announcement that he would be the focus of a Kickstarter campaign in August 2013.}}<br />
{{Miscmerchtableitem|'''[[Lrrr]] (Vinyl)'''|[[File:Toynami Lrrr.jpg|140px]]||History: Lrrr was originally announced as part of series 6, before being replaced by Amy. He returned in series 10, then was listed as Deluxe, followed by a change to Vinyl, again presumably for cost-saving reasons. With the cancellation of series 10, Lrrr was permanently shelved. However, should the Kickstarter campaign for Morbo prove successful, perhaps Lrrr could be next.}}<br />

'''Michelle''' was [[Philip J. Fry|Fry's]] last girlfriend before he was frozen. She broke up with Fry when she met [[Charles Constantine]]. Once in [[2000]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] walked in on her and Charles mid-coitus while he was under the control of scamming aliens. Michelle was later married to Charles before she fell on hard times. She froze herself, with the intention to wake in 2266, to give herself a fresh start, but instead woke in [[3001]] (after the timer on her tube was knocked) and briefly hooked up with Fry again. Michelle's dislike of the 31st century led her to persuade Fry to freeze themselves another 1000 years which led them to a wasteland (in reality they were still in 3001 and had simply moved to [[Los Angeles]]). The pair quickly grew impatient with each other, making their relationship sour again, and she hooked up with [[Pauly Shore (character)|Pauly Shore]]. Fry once described her as "demanding and possessive".<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*In "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", Michelle has black hair. But in all of her subsequent appearances, including her cameo in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' where she was seen after kicking Fry out, she is a brunette.<br />
*In [[Storyboard:Space Pilot 3000|the storyboard for "Space Pilot 3000"]], Fry's girlfriend was called [[Janet]].<br />
*Though having had three speaking roles ("Space Pilot 3000", "[[The Cryonic Woman]]", ''Bender's Big Score'') and only one major plot role ("The Cryonic Woman"), Michelle has appeared in multiple occasions in the background:<br />
**In "[[That's Lobstertainment!]]", "[[Three Hundred Big Boys]]", and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' ([[Audience scene|here]]) she can be seen in the audience.<br />
**In "[[Proposition Infinity]]", she is seen alongside [[Pauly Shore (character)|Pauly Shore]] at the [[Gearwich Village Pride Rally]].<br />
**In "[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences]]", she is seen viewing the costume contest at [[Comic-Con 3010]].<br />
*Michelle's mother, Beth, is named after Sarah Silverman's mother.<br />
*Apparently has had false teeth, at least since 31 December [[1999]] {{et|7ACV23}}.<br />

'''''Futurama''''' is the name of the only video game created around ''[[Futurama]]''. The game was developed by UDS and released 1 August, 2003 in Europe and 14 August, 2003 in North America for the {{w|Xbox}} and {{w|PlayStation 2}}. Since it uses the same name as the show without a subtitle, it is commonly refered to as '''the game'''. In the UK the game was actively marketed on television as "Futurama: The Game" in advertisements on satellite network {{w|Sky One}}.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<!-- Act headings should have the episode titles from the DVD releases. Leave blank if unknown. Under each, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at commercial breaks, and they also correspond to the chapters of the DVDs. <br />
If you know how, make links of the first reference to any other characters, places, or things that have/should have their own articles.<br />
<br />
In this case, they are the icons for the movies in the extras--><br />
<br />
=== Act I: Fry ===<br />
At [[Planet Express]], [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] learn from [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] (who's wearing a sombrero) that he's [[Mom buying Planet Express|sold]] the company to [[Mom]]. Immediately after this, a report comes on the news saying that she is now the majority shareholder, and ruler, of [[Earth]]. Mom claims everyone as slaves and sets a curfew so the crew decide to escape. Unfortunately the ship is severely damaged, with unknown reason, and needs repairs. While everyone else does something important, Fry is instructed to find a hammer. Fry dies getting the hammer but is brought back with the Professor's new invention, the [[Reanimator]] (which looks like a giant toaster). Fry keeps the hammer (for a weapon), which the Professor didn't need, and heads off to [[Media:Planet Express Floorplan (game).png|find the tools]] that are needed. After the repairs are done, it turns out that the backup dark matter engine is needed, but was pawned. Fry is given a gun and sent via the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] (to avoid the Hoverbot Death Troopers) then works his way through [[Old New York]], the Red Light District and [[New New York]] (with a [[chicken walker]] to fight off the [[Hoverbot Death Troopers|Death Troopers]]) to [[New New York#Rook Takes Pawnshop|Rook Takes Pawnshop]].<br />
<br />

**[[Sewers]]<br />
**[[Subway]]<br />
**[[Old New York]]<br />
**Red Light District<br />
**Uptown<br />
**[[New New York]]<br />
<br />
=== Act II: Bender ===<br />
[[File:Futurama Game B.jpg|right|thumb|Bender on the asteroid]]<br />
Fry returns with the engine and they install it, the four escape, taking the Reanimator with them. Mom converts the planet into a spaceship in order to take over the universe and is annoyed to hear that the Planet Express crew is escaping. She then proceeds to try to hunt them down, but the Earth's engines aren't powerful enough. At Sal's Salvage on an [[Solar System#Asteroid Belt|asteroid]], [[Sal]] informs them that the only kind of engine that will move the Earth is a dark matter engine ("and a big ones at thats"), and she'll need the Professor to get it. The Professor informs Bender that he's now a playable character and the ship gets caught. Sal has helped out Mom by trapping the Planet Express ship in a suck beam. Bender abandons ship, in full view of Mom and her sons, then dies on impact with the asteroid and is brought back by the Reanimator, which falls on his disassembled body. He then agrees to rescue the others in exchange for a box of magazines with fembot centre folds.<br />
<br />
On his way to rescue the crew Bender has to evade [[Walt, Larry and Igner|Igner]] in a turret, machinery activated by [[Walt, Larry and Igner|Larry]] and finally win in battle against [[Walt, Larry and Igner|Walt]], who's in a tank. Bender deactivates the beam, boards the ship, and they escape.<br />
<br />
*Bender's gameplay levels:<br />
**[[Weasel Canyon]]<br />
**Run, Bender, Run<br />
**The Mine Facility<br />
**Red Rock Creek<br />
**The Junkyard<br />
**Rumble in the Junkyard<br />
<br />
=== Act III: Leela ===<br />
[[File:Futurama Game R.jpg|right|thumb|Meeting the locals, on the Sun]]<br />
The Professor says that he's not skilled enough to invent something to save the day; they'll have to visit his mentor and former graduate advisor [[Adoy]], who lives on [[Bogad]] in the furthest corner of the universe. They don't have enough fuel, so Leela, who's now playable, is asked to get some. Mom catches them because she wants blueprints for the dark matter engine. They only exist in the Professor's head so she takes that, in a jar, and sends the ship hurtling towards the [[Sol|Sun]]. The ship crash-lands near [[Sun City]]. [[Ra-Ra the Sun King]] offers them dark matter in exchange for protecting his people from the Sun God and his army. Fry and Bender wait at the ship.<br />
<br />
Leela sets up magic crystal, which severely injures the Sun God. He admits to being an "ordinary eternal omniscient super intelligent being" and explains that making robots from bones is more evil, then laughs so hard he falls into the Sun's molten surface and dies. Leela escapes the sinking temple. Villagers exit buildings and Leela returns to the ship. Ra-Ra rewards them with fuel and asks them to celebrate with him at the temple, which burns up in the background. The crew leave before he can notice.<br />
<br />
*Leela's gameplay levels:<br />
**Market Square<br />
**Left Wing<br />
**Right Wing<br />
**Temple Courtyard<br />
**Inner Temple<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: Zoidberg ===<br />
[[File:Futurama Game Zoidberg Horse.jpg|right|thumb|Zoidberg on his "horse"]]<br />
Mom has hooked the Professor into the Earth's engines. She starts flying the ship around destroying other planets. The crew land on Bogad, quite literally in the corner of the universe. They meet up with [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Dr Zoidberg]], who is making a cameo. He misidentifies a [[Bogad Swamp "Horse"|nearby animal]] as a horse and gets on. The crew talk to Adoy who tell them that his latest invention, the [[Time Tunneller]], will get them back to before Mom became unstoppable. The hand crank on the machine will only turn the universe back two minutes, if turned for two minutes, so Zoidberg is sent off to find the generator.<br />
<br />
Zoidberg reaches the generator and turns it on. Adoy sets up the Time Tunneller and the crew head back in time to Earth. Zoidberg is left behind.<br />
<br />
*Zoidberg's gameplay level:<br />
**Bogad Swamp Trail<br />
<br />
=== Act V: Mom ===<br />
[[File:Futurama Game L.jpg|right|thumb|Leela makes an escape]]<br />
Leela crash-lands the severely damaged ship in the Planet Express building. They quickly fulfil a time paradox by leaving the bad ship behind and taking the good ship to stop the Professor from selling the company. They crash the ship through the window of Mom's Headquarters just as the Professor is about to sign. The Reanimator falls from the wreckage and all three are regenerated. Fry warns the Professor. Mom tricks them into standing where she can trap them. They each have to try to escape from [[Destructor]], with several gun upgrades, as he enters target practice mode.<br />
<br />
Fry finds a gun and soon after enters battle against Destructor. Fry wins and heads down to meet the other two. Mom’s sons are cleaning up. Igner breaks the Reanimator, which falls on Destructor's body knocking it onto the crew, killing them permanently. The Professor refuses to sell the company, but then Mom offers him a [[#Act I: Fry|sombrero...]] The game ends when the scene at the beginning starts over. In other words, "here we go again".<br />
<br />
*Mom's gameplay levels:<br />
**Bender's Breakout (Bender)<br />
**Leela's Last Laugh (Leela)<br />
**Fry Fights Back (Fry)<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
In general, the game received weak responses, citing issues as lack of something exceptional in gameplay, but having hilarious cutscenes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbx/futurama?q=futurama |title=''Futurama'' Xbox reviews |publisher=Metacritic |accessdate=2009-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/futurama?q=futurama |title=''Futurama'' PlayStation 2 reviews |publisher=Metacritic |accessdate=2009-04-16}}</ref>, though Wired described the cutscenes as "side splitting".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/12/video-games-f-3.html |title=Videogames & Futurama, Part 4: The Lost Episode is on a PS2 Disc |publisher=Wired |author=Chris Baker |date=2007-12-20 |accessdate=2009-04-16}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*It is among the few [[one-word titled media]].<br />
*In the options menu, [[Billy West]] provides audio for SFX Volume and Speech Volume testing.<br />
**In the former, Fry produces the effects, in the latter, Fry, Professor Farnsworth and [[Zapp Brannigan]] test the microphones.<br />
*Both [[Scruffy]] and [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] are seen sleeping on the job (actually Hermes isn't sleeping, he is being controlled by a brain slug).<br />
*[[Terry]]'s "Welcome to the world of tomorrow!" features in the intro remix.<br />
**This music and other pieces in the game are later reused in the soundtrack of ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''.<br />
*The four types of mutant seen in this game are how they were expected to be in [[I Second that Emotion|2ACV01]], there is no sign of intelligence and minimal, if any, humanity.<br />
*Leela's parents' house appears to be in Old New York.<br />
*Bender's birthstone is [[Robobium]].<br />
*Deaths:<br />
**False Sun God<br />
**Destructor<br />
**Fry (four times, one permanent)<br />
**Bender (three times, one permanent)<br />
**Leela (two times, one permanent)<br />
**Pawnbroker (edited into [[#Game to Episode Edits|"The Lost Adventure"]] version only)<br />
*Due to the ''episode'''s nature, it is best viewed as an "Anthology of Interest" ([[Anthology of Interest I|2ACV16]], [[Anthology of Interest II|3ACV18]]), which would make it [[Canon|non-canon]].<br />
*The characters occasionally break the fourth wall, mentioning "playable characters" or just the fact that this is a game.<br />
*[[Maurice LaMarche]] voiced all three bosses.<br />
*Nibblonian shadows can be seen on the three chairs in the market square near on the opposite side of the main gate to the reanimator. Other shadows can also be seen throughout Sun City.<br />
*Two of the audio clips found at [http://www.futurama-madhouse.com.ar/sounds/game.shtml The Futurama Madhouse] are not found in the game itself, and are instead extracted from the disc.<br />
*Game cutscenes are the first 16:9 ''Futurama'' production.<br />

<br />
=== Gameplay ===<br />
The game is an Action/{{w|Platformer}} which includes many typical elements of platformers including platforming, puzzle solving and enemy combat. <br />
<br />
==== Goofs/Glitches ====<br />
* At one point the Planet Express hangar is large enough to house two ships.<br />
The only real problems are associated with the invincibility cheat:<br />
*Using a [[Suicide Booth]] with the invincibility cheat turned on removes the Fry character model from the screen but doesn't kill you.<br />
*When playing as Fry in the sewers level it is possible to freeze your console by using the invincibility cheat, then getting caught by the tentacle mutant. At this point the game can be unfrozen by typing in the invincibility cheat again to deactivate it and allowing Fry to die.<br />
While these cheats should be unnecessary, you can try this yourself with the following codes:<br />
*Xbox version - Hold L, press A. Hold R, press X, Y. Release R, press A. Hold R, press X, Y, B, A, Black, Y, Back, release L. ([http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox/code/583448.html other cheats])<br />
*PS2 version - Hold L1 and L2, press down, 🔶, Δ, down, 🔶, Δ, O, X, R2, Δ, select. ([http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/code/582181.html other cheats])<br />
<br />
==== Tips and Tricks ====<br />
*The items in the Planet Express level are indicated on [[Media:Planet Express Floorplan (game).png|this floorplan]].<br />
*When in the sewers get fairly close to the pipe tentacles, shoot and then run through. You get about three seconds to run past. In area 8 you have to shoot the tentacles and jump past.<br />
*The subway has club troopers that have spiked clubs. So press R1 to lock on, shoot, if they get too close start to back up.<br />
*During the fight against Destructor, when a mosquito missile comes out of his red swirled hatch wait until it opens again and hold down square and release it to shoot a power blast, use it about 5 times and then the last cutscene will start.<br />

*Most brief scenes with minor characters, such as enemies, Mom's sons and the pawnbroker, are removed or edited.<br />
*New sound effects replace many of those used in the game.<br />

'''Yancy Fry Sr.''' is the father of [[Yancy Fry Jr.]] and [[Philip J. Fry]] who lived in [[Fry's house|a completely trashed house]] somewhere in {{w|Flatbush}}, {{w|Brooklyn}}. He was a Vietnam veteran and spent most of his time building a nuclear bomb shelter for fear of a communist attack. His worries about the {{w|Y2K}} computer bug made him believe it was the cause of Philip's disappearance. Yancy Sr. and [[Mrs. Fry]] did not care about their son and thought sending him to school was a waste of tax money and did not bother much looking for him when he was frozen on New Year's Day, 2000.<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*[[Philip J. Fry]], younger son<br />
*[[Mrs. Fry]], wife<br />

<br />
Yancy Fry Sr. actually did care a lot about his son, as shown in the episode "Cold Warriors." Yancy Jr. and Phillip went ice fishing in the 1980s, when Fry was a young teenager. When Fry fell through ice, his father saved him. Yancy Fry Sr. would often invoke dramatic irony, telling his cold son to "bundle up" as he did not want him to freeze.<br />
Yancy Fry Sr. was a soldier and fought in the Vietnam war. He did this in style by wearing a camouflage tuxedo which his son Yancy Jr. wore at his wedding.<br />
<br />

<br />
In the year [[3000]], the use of the word "Christmas" to refer to the holiday on 25 December has been completely lost in the mists of time, and it has been replaced with the word "'''Xmas'''", pronounced "Ecks-Muss". As such, the day has lost all religious connotations it had in the past, and many traditions have been drastically changed. As [[pine tree]]s are extinct, palm trees are traditonally decorated with festive lights. Being nude on Xmas seems to be quite popular. However, it is not wise to be outdoors after sundown on Xmas Eve, because you'll probably be killed by [[Robot Santa]]. {{er|2ACV04}}<br />
<br />
The origins of Xmas are told in ''The Story of Xmas''; a play about Ebenezer Omicronian - who is visited by six ghosts that foretell the coming of [[Zombie Jesus]] and reveals the reason the holiday changed its name. [[Mom]] is somehow involved. <sup>[[Xmas Time Is Fear|[US#006]]]</sup><br />

== Trivia ==<br />
*"[[Spanish Fry]]" was the last ''Futurama'' [[audio commentary|commentary]] before the release of [[Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection]].<br />
*This box set had the most commentators of the [[original run]].<br />
*In [[Europe]] disc 1, 2 and 3 are rated '''PG''', while disc 4 is rated '''12'''. This is probably due to "Spanish Fry".<br />
<br />
== AL1 Message ==<br />
An [[Easter egg]] on Disc 4 reads so:<br />
<br />
''THIS DVD INCLUDES A SPECIALLY ENCODED EASTER EGG WHICH YOU ARE NOW METICULOUSLY TRANSLATING FROM AN ALIEN LANGUAGE BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO LIFE AND ARE A COMPULSIVE [[nerdlinger|NERDLINGER]]. HOW SAD. IT IS ESPECIALLY SAD IF YOU DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH AND YOU HAVE TO TRANSLATE THE ALIEN LANGUAGE INTO ENGLISH AND THEN INTO YOUR OWN TONGUE AND YOU COME UPON A WORD LIKE NERDLINGER WHICH REALLY ISN'T A WORD AT ALL, BUT STILL APTLY DESCRIBES SOMEONE WHO WOULD TRANSLATE SUCH A WORD. TWICE. AND THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE READING THIS ON A FUTURAMA NEWSGROUP AREN'T ANY BETTER, WE LURK ON THOSE NEWSGROUPS AND WE KNOW WHAT NERDLINGERS YOU GUYS ARE, TOO. OF COURSE, YOU'RE ALSO PROBABLY OUR BIGGEST FANS. WHICH IS SAD IN ITS OWN WAY. BUT, SINCE YOU WENT THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE TO TRANSLATE AN EASTER EGG, WE DO OWE YOU SOMETHING. SO HERE'S A SECRET ABOUT THE SHOW: THE WRITERS, PRODUCERS, DIRECTORS AND MOST OF THE ACTORS WHO WORKED ON THE SHOW ARE ALL NERDLINGERS, TOO.''<br />
