<hr />
<div>"'''Bite my shiny metal ass'''" is one of [[Bender Bending RodrÃguez]]'s most used [[catchphrase]]s, and it is one of the most famous catchphrases on ''[[Futurama]]'', together with [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor's]] "[[Good news, everyone]]". It is commonly used by Bender as a retort to a comment at his expense. The catchphrase is also Bender's first uttered line on the show, in [[Space Pilot 3000|the pilot]] to [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], where he describes his reasoning with that his ass is "shinier than [Fry's]". The other of Bender's common catchphrases is "[[Me, Bender]]".<br />
<br />
== Major appearances ==<br />
In "[[War Is the H-Word]]", Bender was prevented from saying the 'last word' of the quote because he had a bomb inside him which would explode if he said it. It could not be removed, so the word which would blow up a planet was changed to 'antiquing', one of Bender's least said words. Surpisingly, his second most said word was revealed to be 'daffodil'.<br />
<br />
After Bender's death in "[[Ghost in the Machines]]", [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] shows a graph of how the usage of the catchphrase has decreased by 98 %. The remaining 2 % is shortly thereafter explained as being of [[Scruffy]]'s usage.<br />
<br />
== Variations ==<br />
Already in the [[season 1|first season]] of the show, the line had been uttered enough to be a joke of itself, as "[[When Aliens Attack]]" feature Bender giving a parody of it when his ass is in fact not shiny, but "red-hot glowing". In subsequent episodes, there have been many other variations of the phrase, said by both Bender and other characters. This is sometimes done as a conscious parody of the phrase, such as when [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] tells Bender to "bite [his] shiny metal hat" ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ItWGY]]). In other variations, it is done by characters who are probably unaware of the catch phrase, for example when [[Princess Num Num]] says that Bender "sure has a shiny metal bubbledeeboop" {{et|6ACV21}}.<br />
