"'''Bendless Love'''" is the thirty-eighth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the sixth of the [[Season 3|third production season]] and of the [[Broadcast season 3|third broadcast season]]. It aired 11 February, 2001 on FOX. It guest starred [[Jan Hooks]] as [[Angleyne]]. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] finds himself working together with a fembot, whom he finds as his love interest, but he discovers that she is the former wife of [[Flexo]], and in an attempt to prove that she really still loves Flexo, he fakes a date between her and him, where she realises her actual love for Flexo.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Sabotage!" ===<br />
After a dramatic liftoff systems check, the [[Planet Express Ship]] crashes less than three seconds after takeoff. [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] files a lengthy report on the cause of the accident; sabotage is to blame for the accident. The [[L-Unit]] from the ship had been bent straight. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] demonstrates what it ''should'' look like. The crew realizes that several other objects around the [[Planet Express|building]] have been mysteriously bent (or in the case of [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]'s slinky, ''un''bent), including the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]]. Bender "fixes" him by bending him in the reverse direction. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] realizes that Bender is a likely culprit for all the bent objects, and he denies it. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] reveals that he's got a huge archive of surveillance tapes. On one, it is revealed that Bender has been sleep-bending.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I've been bending since the day I was built!" ===<br />
Bender is shocked, but not surprised. After all, he was ''built'' to bend. He reveals that he was "born" four years ago, in the bad part of [[Tijuana]]. Leela infers that Bender hasn't been satisfying his need to bend, and the Professor demands he leave until he satisfies that need.<br />
<br />
Robots are on strike outside [[Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant]]. The mob supports the union and the strike. Bender arrives and realizes that the strike may mean he won't be able to get a job. However, after learning that the company is hiring scabs at ten times the normal wage, he storms in and gets a job. Inside, he finds his "evil" twin [[Flexo]] working there, as well as [[Angleyne]], a female bending unit.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Lousy scabs!" ===<br />
Outside, the workers continue to picket, while Bender and Flexo bend girders, and Angleyne bends wire hangers inside. Bender makes a pass at Angleyne.<br />
<br />
The PE crew are trying to fix the items that Bender ruined. Zoidberg tests his "fixed" slinky, which bursts into flames. Fry and the Professor are taking a walk, and the Professor is obnoxiously upbeat. Fry asks him why he's so cheerful, and the Professor postulates that it may be blood pooling in the back of his brain.<br />
<br />
Bender goes into work and flirts with Angleyne. She says she's as strong as Bender, and he tells her to prove it, tossing her a girder. She struggles with it and is unable to bend it. Bender stands behind her and helps her bend it into the shape of a heart, and they kiss.<br />
<br />
Bender takes Angleyne to the fair and "wins" her a giant stuffed animal, and a wallet for himself. He also takes her out on a rowboat, letting his arms do the rowing. During a race with Fry and the Professor, Bender puts a stick in the Professor's spokes and wins the race.<br />
<br />
Later, at the conference table, the Professor tells how his new, bent posture is helping his personal life. Bender arrives with ''Bender''-related news: He's in love with Angleyne, and takes his friends to [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]] to celebrate. Bender tells the crew about Angleyne, but Fry spots her across the room having dinner with Flexo. In rage, Bender grabs a piece of bread and attempts to bend it. After a warning from [[Elzar]] that it's a week old, the bread snaps. Then Bender's arms fall off.<br />
<br />
=== Act IV: "It's time to kick some shiny metal ass!" ===<br />
Bender confronts Angleyne and Flexo, but Angleyne explains that Flexo and Angleyne are divorced, and having dinner because they want to remain friends.<br />
<br />
Bender paces the lounge in the Planet Express building, worrying about the situation. Leela suggests he talk about his feelings with her, but Fry implies that might not be the manliest plan.<br />
<br />
Bender then concocts a convoluted plan to catch Angleyne cheating on him with... him (wearing a fake beard that looks like Flexo's). He calls her to set up the meeting, and then goes to [[The Hip Joint]]. He orders them drinks, and pays with the money he earned scabbing. However, the [[Robot Mafia]] sees this and is almost infuriated. Bender insults himself in order to pull off the con, but it doesn't work immediately. He takes her out on the dancefloor, and pays the DJ to play his request. The Robot Mafia sees this and is one step closer to attacking him. While dancing, Bender's fake beard comes off, and although he is almost caught, he dips Angleyne to distract her. The robots in the club start dancing so furiously that their parts begin to fall off.<br />
<br />
=== Act V: "Kill Flexo!" ===<br />
After the place is cleared out, Bender continues his scam, and Angleyne starts falling for "Flexo" again. He escorts her out, and tips the valet. The Robot Mafia is now fed up, and plans to kill Flexo. Bender asks to go back to Angleyne's place, and after some reluctance, kisses "Flexo". During the kiss, the beard comes off again, sticking to Angleyne's face. She realizes the trick, and Bender explains his scam. She defends herself, but Bender is too dense to understand. Bender vows to kill Flexo.<br />
<br />
Back at the Bending Plant, Bender assaults Flexo. The fight goes back and forth (after all, they are ''identical'' bending units), but the Robot Mafia is there planning to make their kill. Angleyne makes a last desperate plea for them to stop the fight, but Bender persists. The Robot Mafia then drops an [[unbendable girder]] on Flexo, who is clamped. Angleyne reveals her renewed love for Flexo, and in order to make Angleyne happy, Bender tries to free Flexo from under the girder. With incredible exertion, Bender bends the girder off of Flexo. Then Flexo and Angleyne have "sex right there on the factory floor".<br />
<br />
Bender returns to Planet Express, and is relieved to never have to bend again. However, the crew is sick of the Professor's attitude, and they ask Bender to fix the Professor. He bends the Professor, but instead of making him upright, he bends him even further out of alignment, making the Professor depressed.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
[[File:Promo 3ACV06.jpg|right|thumbnail|[[Promo pic]] of this episode]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Bender sleep-bends the ship's L-unit, Hermes' straight edge, Amy's javelin, Zoidberg's slinky, the support girder, a palm tree, The Professor, a couch cushion, and a security camera.<br />
*Of the heads in the box when [[Bender]] talks about the day he was built, there are the heads of Flexo's and the head of one of the moon robots that Bender went to high school with.<br />
*Allegedly, Jan Hooks smoked more than usual so she'd be hoarse enough for the role.<br />
*This episode introduces the word "[[Coinage#I|intragnizent]]".<br />
*Angleyne's introduction behind frosted glass is reminiscent of 1940's movies where female love interests were filmed with Vaseline on the camera lens to make them appear softer and more feminine.<br />
*When Bender stands behind Angleyne and helps her bend the girder, it is a reference to the movie "Ghost".<br />
*Elzar's special is Blackened Leftovers.<br />
*When the commercial break is over [[Elzar]]'s special is Blackened Blackened Leftovers.<br />
*It also introduces the phrase "[[Coinage#Clamp Clamp Ka-Bamp!|Clamp clamp ka-bamp!]]"<br />
*This is the second time that Flexo has been mistaken for Bender at the end of an episode.<br />
*John DiMaggio won an "Annie" award for this episode.<br />
*Apparently a fuzzy navel is the girliest drink served at the Hip Joint<br />
*Fry is pruning a [[bonsai tree]] which resembles the Planet Express Ship.<br />
* It was stated in the future episode "Lethal Inspections" that all robots have a backup unit so if the Robot Mafia had succeeded in killing Flexo then he simply would have downloaded to a new body.<br />

<poem>'''Fry''': Wait! There on the screen! It's that guy you are!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': This is quite a shock! On the other hand, it's not surprising in the least.</poem><br />

}}<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*If Bender "stole" Angleyne's car, how did she get to her workplace?<br />
**It is quite possible she just walked to work.<br />
**It is also possible that she took a taxi.<br />
*Seeing as Bender has [[Apartment 00100100|his own apartment]] and doesn't live in the [[Planet Express headquarters]], it's unlikely that he travelled there only to sleep-[[bending|bend]].<br />
**It's also possible that Bender spends the occasional night at work rather than going home.<br />
*Bender is affected by magnets, they make him sing folk songs, yet the apparently magnetic beard he wears as a disguise does not affect him.<br />
**It maybe that his "chin" isn't close enough to his inhibition unit to be affected.<br />
*Fry recognizes Angleyne at [[Elzar's]] even though he has never met her before.<br />
**He has seen her before, at the bike race. Bender may have identified her then.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*When Hermes is trying to straighten his straight-edge, he exclaims "Haile H. Selassie", a combination of {{w|Ethiopia}}n Emperor {{w|Haile Selassie I}} and the slang term "{{w|Jesus H. Christ}}".<br />
**As well, some members of the [[Jamaica]]n {{w|Rastafari movement}} consider Haile Selassie to be the {{w|Second Coming of Christ}}.<br />
*Bender's line "I try to get out, but they keep pulling me back in" is similar to a line uttered by {{w|Michael Corleone}} in {{w|The Godfather Part III}}.<br />
*BendGay is a parody of Bengay[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengay].<br />
<br />
=== Inside References ===<br />
*In the surveillance tape, it is shown that [[owls]] live in holes in the wall, simlilar to mice. Owls in the future have replaced mice and rats as pests.<br />
*Flexo was introduced in "[[The Lesser of Two Evils]]". At the end, he was taken to prison for Bender's crime. So this is the second time he's gotten into trouble based on mistaken identity.<br />

*The episode's title is a reference to the 1982 science-fiction film ''{{w|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial}}'', directed by {{w|Steven Spielberg}}. There is also a skull in [[Jrrr]]'s toy closet that resembles the title character.<br />
*The [[Rational Archives]] are a reference to {{w|National Archives Building|the headquarters}} of the [[United States]]' {{w|National Archives and Records Administration}}. The word "rational" refers to {{w|rational number}}s.<br />
*The [[Jeffersons Memorial]] is a reference to the {{w|Jefferson Memorial}}, dedicated to the third [[president of the United States]] &mdash; [[Thomas Jefferson]] &mdash;, and the {{w|CBS}} sitcom ''{{w|The Jeffersons}}''.<br />
*When [[Planet Express crew|the crew]] is on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Fry asks [[Bender]] if he will let him know if they have to "cheese it", and Bender replies that that is the first law of robotics. The first law of robotics, one of {{w|Three Laws of Robotics|the three}} created by American science-fiction author {{w|Isaac Asimov}}, says that "a [[robot]] may not injure a [[human]] being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm".<br />
*To cover up Fry's location, Bender says that he saw him in the kitchen with Dinah. This is a reference to the American folk song "{{w|I've Been Working on the Railroad}}", which contains the lyric "Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah".<br />
*The scene where Jrrr throws a ball into the shed in his densely tree-lined backyard and has it unexpectedly thrown back to him (by Fry) is a reference to "Those Terrible Toy Breakers", a children's book by David M. McPhail.<br />
*When Jrrr tells Fry that he is eating his "turds", Fry responds by saying "Feces pieces? Blech!". This is a reference to {{w|Reese's Pieces}}, candy which look like coloured pellets, similar to Jrrr's poop, also featured in ''E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial''.<br />
*In Jrrr's room, there is a bowl containing [[Blinky]] the fish, from ''[[The Simpsons]]'', a doll that looks like {{sw|Boba Fett}}, from the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise, a {{st|Klingon}} {{st|bat'leth}}, from the ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchise, and a toy/model of an [[Omicronian saucer]].<br />
*The image of Bender knocking out Fry mimics the famous photo of {{w|Muhammad Ali}} knocking out {{w|Sonny Liston}}.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The crew get past the blockade surrounding Omicron Persei 8 by spray painting "Omicronian Express" on the side of the ship. Ironically, the ship was at one point converted into an [[Omicronian Express]] ship in "[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences]]".<br />
*Jrrr is the last surviving [[poppler]], a larval [[Omicronian]], from "[[The Problem with Popplers]]". He returns in this episode as a grown Omicronian child.<br />
*Bender previously read a ''Cigar Jerk'' publication in "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches [[Earth]] TV live, but in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", it's stated that it takes a thousand years for signals to get to Omicron Persei 8.<br />
**Only transmissions from before [[2208]] travel at the old [[speed of light]] {{et|2ACV10}}, live transmissions are near-instant. Both sets of transmissions are presumably stopped at the blockade.<br />
*Fry does not recognise Lrrr's palace, even though he's been there before {{et|4ACV03|4ACV17}}.<br />
**Fry may have forgotten since then.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*[[The Professor]] names the [[Planet Express ship]] "Bessie".<br />
*Coincidentally, the upcoming {{w|Wii U}} game ''{{w|Mario Kart 8}}'' will feature a Möbius-strip track.<br />
* The music used during the inner city chase between [[Professor Farnsworth]] and the gang of street-racing punks is the song "Highway Star" by the band Deep Purple.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />

*The episode's title is a reference to the [[1971]] road movie ''{{w|Two-Lane Blacktop}}'', directed by {{w|Monte Hellman}} and starring {{w|James Taylor}}, {{w|Dennis Wilson}}, {{w|Warren Oates}} and {{w|Laurie Bird}}.<br />
*The episode itself is a reference to the 1884 book ''{{w|Flatland}}'', written by {{w|Edwin Abbott Abbott}}.<br />
*A wrecked {{st|USS Enterprise|USS ''Enterprise''}} from the ''[[Star Trek]]'' franchise can be seen in the scrap when the Professor approaches [[Impound Lot 136]].<br />
*The [[Bonneville Salt Flatlands]] in [[Flatbush]] are a reference to the {{w|Bonneville Salt Flats}} located in [[Utah]]. There is also an area of the flats known as the {{w|Bonneville Speedway}}, where many {{w|Land speed record|land speed records}} have been broken.<br />

*Fry previously did karate in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]" and "[[Forty Percent Leadbelly]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
* Leela introduces [[new Planet Express ship|the new ship]] as slower to make it safer, however later on she is able to beat the old ship in a drag race.<br />
* When they are in the race, the Professor is wearing his racing clothes (black leather lab coat, black hat) but when he arrives in the second dimension he is wearing his standard attire.<br />
* Initially the Lords of Flatbush have guns, but when chasing [[Planet Express crew|the crew]] they only have spears.<br />
** It's possible that spears were the closest weapons at hand for the Lords to chase the crew with.<br />
* The Professor makes it clear that it's impossible to go around others in the second dimension, but when they are eating at the castle, several of the creatures are sitting behind them.<br />
** The creatures are actually above, not behind. As the Professor says, the laws of physics in Flatbush are different.<br />
* [[Hermes]] claims the crew has only been gone for five minutes, however it was afternoon when they left, and it's clearly dusk when they arrive back.<br />

"'''Saturday Morning Fun Pit'''" is the one hundred and thirty-third episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the nineteenth of the [[Season 7|seventh production season]], the sixth of the [[Broadcast season 10|tenth broadcast season]], and the sixth [[segmented episode]]. It aired on 17 July, [[2013]], on [[Comedy Central]]. The [[Planet Express crew|''Futurama'' gang]] stars in a trio of craptastic morning cartoons.<br />
<br />
== Story ==<br />
{{expansion|section=yes}}<br />
Amid protests from angry viewers on the [[White House]] lawn, the [[Richard Nixon's head|head of Richard Nixon]] and the [[headless clone of Agnew|headless clone of Spiro Agnew]] host a three-part episode featuring the ''Futurama'' gang in parodies of popular {{w|Saturday-morning cartoon}}s: ''Bendee Boo and the Mystery Crew'' (a ''{{w|Scooby-Doo}}'' parody featuring appearances by [[George Takei]], [[Larry Bird]], and the [[Globetrotters|Harlem Globetrotters]]), ''Purpleberry Pond'' (a ''{{w|Strawberry Shortcake}}''-meets-''{{w|The Smurfs}}'' mash-up that was only created to plug its super-sugary cereal), and ''G.I. Zapp'' (a ''{{w|G.I. Joe}}'' parody that Nixon tries to edit for violence himself).<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
On 2 September, [[2012]], it was revealed that the ''Scooby-Doo''-esque segment of the episode would guest-star George Takei and Larry Bird.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://culturemob.com/bumbershoot-review-day-2-futurama-writers-panel|author=Tom Mohrman|date=2012-09-2|title=Bumbershoot Review Day 2: Futurama Writers Panel|site=CultureMob|accessdate=2012-09-13}}</ref><br />
<br />
On 11 December, with the release of [[Volume 7]] and its commentary for "[[Naturama]]", it was revealed that the episode would be directed by [[Crystal Chesney-Thompson]].<br />
<br />
The ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' posts from 19 May and 20 May, 2013, revealed the title of the ''Strawberry Shortcake''-esque segment to be "Purpleberry Pond"<ref name="19 May"/> and the title of the ''Scooby-Doo''-esque segment to be "Bendy Boo",<ref name="20 May"/> respectively. However, the ''Scooby-Doo''-esque segment is actually called "Bendee Boo and the Mystery Crew".<br />
<br />
By 9 July, the [[animatic]] for the ''Strawberry Shortcake'' segment had been released online.<ref name="animatic">{{cite web|url=http://roycamacho.carbonmade.com/projects/4773319|title=FUTURAMA 719 (Purpleberry Pond) Animatic Board :Rufino Roy Camacho II|author=Roy Camacho|accessdate=2013-7-9}}</ref><br />

== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*At one point, the episode's production number was planned to be [[7ACV25]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comedycentral.com/episodes/1w3i9s/futurama-futurama-live--season-7-ep-special|title=Futurama Live! - Episode - Season 7 - Ep. Special|date=2012-7-11|site=Comedy Central|accessdate=2013-7-10}}</ref><br />
*This is the only segmented episode of the [[second run]] to not be a [[broadcast]]-season finale.<br />
*During the ''Bendee Boo'' intro, [[Planet Express crew|the crew]] runs from someone on a motorcycle. Also running from the motorcycle is who appears to be former [[U.S. president]] [[Jimmy Carter]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
{{cultural mentions}}<br />
*The ''Futurama and Friends Saturday Morning Fun Pit'' title card features a stylized version of the pattern of blue lights that appear in the [[opening sequence]].<br />
*In the ''Bendee Boo'' segment, the crew members are re-imagined as ''Scooby-Doo'' characters. [[Fry]] plays the role of {{w|Shaggy Rogers|Shaggy}}, [[Leela]] plays the role of {{w|Daphne Blake|Daphne}}, [[Bender]] plays the role of {{w|Scooby-Doo (character)|Scooby-Doo}}, [[Hermes]] plays the role of {{w|Fred Jones (Scooby-Doo)|Fred}}, and [[Amy]] plays the role of {{w|Velma Dinkley|Velma}}.<br />
**[[Billy West]], who voices Fry, provided the voice of Shaggy in the [[1998]] film ''{{w|Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island}}''.<br />
**The Harlem Globetrotters appear, just like they did in the [[television|T.V.]] show ''{{w|The New Scooby-Doo Movies}}'', and the shot of them sleeping in the same bed is taken from their appearance.<br />
*One of the protesters outside of the White House holds a sign which reads "Animation Dumb-a-nation", a reference to the Sunday-evening animated-programming block airing on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]], {{w|Animation Domination}}, which was created in [[2009]] and includes ''[[The Simpsons]]'', ''[[Family Guy]]'', ''{{w|American Dad!}}'', ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' (canceled in 2013), and ''{{w|Bob's Burgers}}''.<br />
*[[The professor]]'s character in the ''Purpleberry Pond'' segment is a parody of the {{w|List of Strawberry Shortcake characters#The Peculiar Purple Pieman|Purple Pieman}}, from ''Strawberry Shortcake''.<br />
*[[Micky]] is a parody of {{w|Little Mikey}}, from {{w|Life (cereal)|Life}} cereal's [[1970s]] "Mikey Likes It" ads.<br />
*Fry's name in the ''G.I. Zapp'' segment is Freezer Burn, a reference to the fact that he was [[Cryo-Tube|frozen]] at the beginning of the show {{et|1ACV01}} and has been frozen multiple times since {{et|2ACV19|4ACV10|BBS|7ACV14}}.<br />
*Nixon renames the Leela character in ''G.I. Zapp'' as Pat. This is a reference to Nixon's wife, [[Pat Nixon]].<br />
*At the end of the episode, the announcer says "Now stay tuned for six hours of golf", angering Agnew. This is a reference to how Saturday-morning cartoon line-ups in the [[1980s]] and [[1990s]] always aired sports telecasts after the last cartoon, and to {{w|Spiro Agnew|the real Agnew}}'s bad golf playing, which would cause him to accidentally hit spectators with his golf ball.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The professor also kept lengths of wire in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Although the Proffesor's cloning machine is shown being turned on, every other shot of it (especially while it is actively cloning) depicts the switch pointing at "off".<br />

'''Langdon Cobb''' is an actor who wears a suit with an ascot (complete with a stickpin) and a bread bag over his head {{et|7ACV04}}.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Langdon Cobb.jpg|thumb|left|A [[character]] design of Langdon Cobb released by ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' on 21 May [[2012]].]]<br />
<br />
Langdon Cobb is, apparently, the "world's greatest actor", but always keeps his bread bag over his head. The reasoning given by Cobb to the public for this is because he wants to be known for his acting and not for his looks. The real reason why he wears the bag, however, is that he is actually a [[Quantum lichen]], an alien species that feeds on the attention of others. Looking upon a Quantum Lichen's face, even a photograph, instantly drains a living being's life force, which is the real reason Cobb hides his face. Unlike the rest of his species, who travel from planet to planet to expose their faces and feed, Cobb discovered that simply the attention he gets from being an actor on earth is enough to sustain him.<br />
<br />
When [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] managed to [[Bender's camera|photograph]] his face, Cobb begged him not to show it to anyone, even offering to pay Bender. Nonetheless, Bender showed the photo to [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], [[Dr. Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]. [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] concluded that the only way to restore them to normal was to take their life forces back from [[Pookie|Cobb's ego]]. However, the ego needed to be sufficiently weakened first.<br />
<br />
Cobb and [[Calculon]] entered the [[World Acting Championship]], participating for the title of "world's greatest actor". If Calculon could defeat Cobb, it would weaken his ego enough for Farnsworth to extract the life forces. Despite Calculon sacrificing himself by dying on stage to ensure Cobb would lose, Cobb won anyway. Later, Cobb's ego, revealed to be his mushroom dog [[Pookie]], grew huge as a result of attention and praise Cobb recieved and attacked the championship venue. The ego attacked Leela, Zoidberg and Farnsworth; Cobb then showed them his face, draining their life forces. Bender, however, showed Cobb a great photograph of himself, causing his ego to explode. The crew's life forces were then given back.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
In May [[2012]], ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' introduced him through a [[character]] design (released on 21 May),<ref name="Countdown to Futurama 1">{{cite web|url=http://comedycentral.tumblr.com/post/23479575034/countdown-to-futurama-langdon-cobb-so-far-we|title=Countdown to Futurama: Langdon Cobb|author=Matt Tobey|date=2012-05-21|site=[http://comedycentral.tumblr.com/ Comedy Centrl [sic<nowiki>]</nowiki>]|accessdate=2012-05-21}}</ref> revealed some information about him through the third ''[[Futurama]]'' [[podcast]] (released on 22 May)<ref name="Podcast">{{cite web|url=http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/futurama-countdown-to-futurama/id526059138|title=iTunes - Podcasts - Futurama: Countdown to Futurama by Comedy Central (Week 3)|author=[[Comedy Central]]|date=2012-05-22|site={{w|iTunes Store}}|accessdate=2012-05-23}}</ref> and revealed that [[Zoidberg]] and [[Farnsworth]] would break into his estate to find some dirt on him through the fourth ''Futurama'' podcast (released on 29 May).<ref name="Podcast"/><br />

'''Twitcher''' is a famous social network created by [[Mom]]. Lots of people are addicted to it, and often upload videos in it. [[Mom]] programmed a [[Twitt-worm|Twit-worm]] to control the minds of all Twitcher users so they buy the new [[eyePhone]] 2.0 once a user reaches his one millionth follower. Since, upon the activation of the Twit-worm, both [[Bender]] and [[Fry]] had one million followers, between one and two million zombies walked into the [[Mom Store]] to buy the new eyePhone. Information gained over "Twitcher" is often used for advertising purposes.<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, 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]]<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. 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 />
=== 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]]]]<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]]]]<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 />
== 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. <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. <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.]]<br />

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

<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.<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.<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 />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*Benders 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 "Destruct Sequence 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 III: The Search for Spock.<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 />

<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! [[When Aliens Attack|(1ACV12)]]<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! [[Xmas Story|(2ACV04)]]<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! [[Anthology of Interest I|(2ACV16)]]<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! [[Obsoletely Fabulous|(4ACV14)]]<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! [[The Farnsworth Parabox|(4ACV15)]]<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{f|3}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. (Said by [[Fry]], {{f|4}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! (Said by a Microscopic [[Bender duplicate]]) {{et|6ACV17}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! (Said by Bender During the Video Game Segment) {{et|6ACV26}}<br />
*Bite my fhiny metal aff [[All the Presidents' Heads| (6ACV23)]]<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 Benders' 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 />
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.<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 />
<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, 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]]<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. 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|Bender Bending Rodriguez]]<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]]]]<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]]]]<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 />
== 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. <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. <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 />
=== 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.<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.<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 />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Benders 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 "Destruct Sequence 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 III: The Search for Spock.<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 />

<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! [[When Aliens Attack|(1ACV12)]]<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! [[Xmas Story|(2ACV04)]]<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! [[Anthology of Interest I|(2ACV16)]]<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! [[Obsoletely Fabulous|(4ACV14)]]<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! [[The Farnsworth Parabox|(4ACV15)]]<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{f|3}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. (Said by [[Fry]], {{f|4}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! (Said by a Microscopic [[Bender duplicate]]) {{et|6ACV17}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! (Said by Bender During the Video Game Segment) {{et|6ACV26}}<br />
*Bite my fhiny metal aff [[All the Presidents' Heads| (6ACV23)]]<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 Benders' 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 />
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.<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 />
<br />
=== Functions, attachments, and accessories ===<br />
As we can see during the episodes, Bender has a lot of different functions. Here is a list of them:<br />
<br />
*'''Trash Can''': Bender's own cavity can be used as a trash can. First seen "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" as he throws a bottle of beer inside himself.<br />
*'''Extenso-matic Eyes''': His eyes can zoom out of his normal layer, so he can get a better view on things; they tend to fall out when he zooms too far. First seen also in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />

*'''Video Camera''': Each of Bender's eyes can be used as a camera, either to take pictures or to film things. Both are first seen in "[[When Aliens Attack]]". He also has one more camera, located "below the equator" which does not always "perform". The camera is never seen, but it can be heard extending.<br />
*'''Cowcatcher''': In "[[A Taste of Freedom]]", Bender has a 19th century style cowcatcher installed to his front to clear a path through the crowd outside the Decapodian Embassy.<br />
*'''Barbecue''': Bender's cavity is used the same way as a barbecue. He used it to cook some burgers. First seen in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*'''Oven''': His cavity can be used as an oven, to cook things. The real function name is "E-z Bake", and is used to cook a cake for [[Nibbler]], in the episode "[[I Second that Emotion]]".<br />
*'''Refrigerator''': His cavity can also be used to refrigerate, as seen also in "[[I Second that Emotion]]".<br />
*'''Stage Light''': A light can come out of his cavity. He used it for the first time in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*'''AC Power''' generator: Bender plugs a television power cord into his side in [[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV]].<br />
*'''Popcorn maker''': Bender can make some popcorn in his cavity. He can also push down on his antenna to dispense butter. First seen in "[[Fear of a Bot Planet]]".<br />
*'''Keg''': Bender can also serve some beers within is cavity. First seen in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]".<br />
*'''Toilet''': Bender's cavity is used as a toilet in the episode "[[The Cyber House Rules]]". He pushes his antenna to flush.<br />
*'''Recorder:''' Bender can record things with his head. First seen in "[[A Head in the Polls]]", to record [[Richard Nixon's head]]'s words. He records onto magnetic tape cassettes.<br />
[[File:Lighthouse bender.png|right|thumb|Bender as a lighthouse]]<br />
*'''Oxygen Supplier''': In the episode "[[The Deep South]]", Bender is used as an Oxygen Supplier, that comes via some masks.<br />
*'''Exhaust Port''': Bender's exhaust port is present in his ass, as seen in "[[Crimes of the Hot]]".<br />
*'''Flotation Device''': In "[[The Deep South]]", Bender refer to his ass as a Flotation Device.<br />
*'''Pepper Grinder''': In "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]", Bender inserts peppercorns in his mouth and shakes ground pepper out of his ass.<br />
*'''Beer Tub''': Beer ferments in Bender's chest cavity in the episode "[[The Route of All Evil]]". It has a capacity of at least five gallons, six ounces.<br />
*'''Pager''': Antenna glows and vibrates to notify the New Justice Team of a call from the mayor in "[[Less than Hero]]".<br />
*'''Oil Sprayer :''' Bender sprays oil on a cosmetic saleswoman in "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]".<br />
*'''Mail Box''': Bender's antenna indicates when he is receiving mail. First seen in "[[Crimes of the Hot]]".<br />
*'''Chicken Deboner''': Bender can debone a chicken by putting it into his mouth. He then regurgitates the chicken's skeleton and a feather duster. Seen in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*'''Card Shuffler''': Bender can put a deck of cards into his mouth to shuffle them, and then spit them back out to deal them. He can apparently spit them with enough force for them to cut through objects such as apples and hair. Seen in "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]".<br />
*'''Circular Saw''': Bender can use his hands as a circular saw and lower a matching eyeshade to protect his eyes. First seen in "[[Less than Hero]]".<br />
*'''EFTPOS Machine''': In "[[Leela's Homeworld]]", Bender takes the Professor's credit card and swipes it between his teeth to check its balance.<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, 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]]<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. 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|Bender Bending Rodriguez]]<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]]]]<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]]]]<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 />
== 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. <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. <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.]]<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 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 />

*[[Hermes Conrad|Inspector 5]], Inspector at Mom's friendly robot plant in Tijuana, Mexico {{et|6ACV06}}.<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.<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.<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 />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Benders 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 "Destruct Sequence 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 III: The Search for Spock.<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 />
=== 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! [[When Aliens Attack|(1ACV12)]]<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! [[Xmas Story|(2ACV04)]]<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! [[Anthology of Interest I|(2ACV16)]]<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! [[Obsoletely Fabulous|(4ACV14)]]<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! [[The Farnsworth Parabox|(4ACV15)]]<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{f|3}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. (Said by [[Fry]], {{f|4}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! (Said by a Microscopic [[Bender duplicate]]) {{et|6ACV17}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! (Said by Bender During the Video Game Segment) {{et|6ACV26}}<br />
*Bite my fhiny metal aff [[All the Presidents' Heads| (6ACV23)]]<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 Benders' 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 />
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.<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 />

'''Maurice LaMarche''' is the talented Emmy award winning<ref>[http://www.emmys.com/nominations/2011/Outstanding%20Voice-Over%20Performance Primetime Emmy Awards nominations for 2011 - Outstanding Voice-Over Performance]</ref> actor who gives voice to [[Calculon]], [[Kif Kroker]], [[Walt]], and many other [[characters]]. He has done voice work for an incredible array of series, including the Brain on ''{{w|Pinky and the Brain}}'', Egon Spengler in ''{{w|The Real Ghostbusters}}'' (and the short-lived 1990s companion, ''Extreme Ghostbusters''), and [http://cleveland.wikia.com/wiki/Keith_Lieb Keith Lieb] on ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''. LaMarche was also the third person to voice {{w|Popeye}} in the history of the character. According to him, "[[Morbo]], [[Horrible Gelatinous Blob|H. G. Blob]], and [[Lrrr]] are ''not'' the same voice". Maurice is also well known for his impression of {{w|Orson Welles}}, which he has [[Orson Welles' head|used on ''Futurama'']] and other places including ''{{w|The Critic}}'', ''{{w|Ed Wood (film)|Ed Wood}}'' and ''[[The Simpsons]]''. LaMarche has received two Primetime Emmys for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance on ''Futurama'', one in 2011 for his performances as Lrrr and Orson Welles' head in "[[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences]]", and a second in 2012 for his performances as Clamps, Donbot, Hyper-Chicken, Calculon, Hedonismbot and Morbo in "[[The Silence of the Clamps]]". <br />

<br />
'''Morbo's species''' is a race of humanoid green [[List of alien species|aliens]]. They have yellow eyes and gigantic heads, which are capable of inflating and deflating. This suggests that they may contain their lungs. They seem to be a bald species, much like the [[Decapodians]] and the [[Antarians]]. Very little is known about the species, as we don't know their races true name or their homeworld, and the only identified creatures are [[Morbo]] and [[Fawn]].<br />
<br />
We know from what Morbo has said, however, that his species has a large society, and it seems they are planning a very blatant and shameless attack on [[Earth]]. It's unknown whether they are a member of [[DOOP]] or not, but they are probably not that civilized.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
Though it is unknown if Morbo's species lives in a tribal setting or not, it is evident that they are somewhat technologically advanced. Their skin color comes in various shades of green, as well as tourqoise, and, like some [[Humans]], they have bulging veins, although this seems to be a species trait rather than a personal thing, the color of which compliments the skin. The species has slitted eyes, which means they probably have great eyesight in both dim light and broad day light. It is assumed that Morbo and his species are reptilian. Though they complain and fight at times, it is still occasionally shown that these creatures know how to love each other, as Morbo shows Fawn, in his own odd way.<br />
<br />
== Characters ==<br />
*[[Fawn]]<br />
*[[Morbo]]<br />
*Morbo's belligerent and numerous offspring (mentioned only)<br />
*Unnamed [[holophonor]] musicians<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*There is a [[Futurama animation cel|''Futurama'' animation cel]] featuring the species invading Earth.<br />
*Their appearance is based on that of the aliens from the [[1957]] movie ''{{w|Invasion of the Saucer Men}}''. To some extent, they also resemble the Martians from the [[1996]] movie ''{{w|Mars Attacks!}}''.<br />

"'''Forty Percent Leadbelly'''" is the one hundred and twenty-eighth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the fourteenth of the [[Season 7|seventh production season]] and the fourth of the [[Broadcast season 10|tenth broadcast season]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thefutoncritic.com/showatch/futurama/listings/|title=Shows A-Z - futurama on comedy central|site=TheFutonCritic.com|accessdate=2013-6-26}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
[[Bender]] meets his hero, a famous folksinger who has been in jail 30 times, and wants to duplicate his success. This means duplicating his guitar too, which he tries to steal from a maximum-security prison, but fails, so instead resorts to 3D-printing technology to duplicate the guitar — again resulting in horrible consequences.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/digital/fact-vs-fiction/producer-david-x-cohen-on-futuramas-final-final-season-15445588?click=pm_news|title=Producer David X.

== Additional information ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* Bender's porn drive has a memory size of 100,000 Terabytes and his main drive has the memory size of only 1 Terabyte.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
* The episode's title is a reference to [[Bender's composition|a running gag]] that has Bender claim to be 40% of something that keeps changing and the late American musician {{w|Lead Belly}}. In [[Futurama (video game)|the game]], Bender is 40% lead.<br />
*Fry is seen trapped in a block of carbonite, a reference to the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise. {{sw|Han Solo}} was also trapped in carbonite in ''{{w|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}''.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
* When [[Ben Beeler|Dr. Beeler]] accesses Bender's main drive in his file system, two folders can be seen within it, "Main Personality" and "Penguin Personality", a reference to when Bender was rebooted in Penguin mode in "[[The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz]]". <br />
** Funnily enough, his main personality file has a memory size of 3 MB, whereas his Penguin personality has a memory size of 150 MB.<br />
<br />
=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>''[A large 3D printer-like device called the Make-O-Matic begins to create a guitar downloaded from Bender's memory.]''<br />
'''Ben Beeler''': By laying down layer after layer of nano plastic, it can turn your wildest dreams into ordinary reality!<br />
'''Bender''': Witchcraft! Sorcerer! [[Neat!|Neat]].</poem><br />
<poem>''[Bender has the rotating image of a guitar projecting from his eyes. He and Ben Beeler are looking at it.]''<br />
'''Ben Beeler''': Using my fancy technology, I can make an exact copy of this guitar. ''[He points to it.]''<br />
'''Bender''': Tell me Doctor Beeler, will I need to threaten you?<br />
'''Ben Beeler''': Not at all! You see nowadays, we can take a unique and beautiful object, and easily reduce it to a formula for mass production! I call the process: science!</poem><br />

When a Male mates with the soulmate, they go into a so-called:'''Receptive State''',their skins then become '''Semi-Permiable membranes''' allowing the passage of '''genetic material'''. When ''its time...'', the young come out from the males ... in the form of one big, lumpy puddle of what looks like frog or fish eggs, the '''offspring''' then emerge with the big-eyed head of an adult [[Amphibiosan]] and must survive to the swamp, where they will then go through a '''frog-like cycle''' at the end of which,they become '''land walking children'''.<br />

'''Braino''' is a legendary scientist or genius of sorts. What exactly he did or when he lived (if he is even deceased) is unknown, but [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]] considers him a great inspiration alongside [[Leonardo da Vinci]], {{w|Euclid}} and {{w|Nicolaus Copernicus|Copernicus}}. Braino has a bulging Brain and a horse that also has a bulging brain.<br />
<br />
A statue of him in a park on [[Planet Vinci]] makes it possible that either Vinci was his place of birth, or that he is as respected there as on [[Earth]] (which would make sense considering that the Vincians are extremely intelligent). He does not, however, resemble the native people of Planet Vinci in appearance. He also appears on the Earthican [[Currency|$30 bill]] {{et|6ACV17}}. He is seen on a poster in the Professor's bedroom in a flashback {{et|7ACV10}}.<br />

== Additional info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* His name is clearly a reference to his brain which looks very developed.<br />
* In "[[Mars University]]", a statue is seen of an alien with a giant brain, similar to Braino. However, it seems closer to a member of [[Morbo's species]].<br />
* One of the books read by Bender in Overclockwise is named "The Collected Wisdom of Braino".<br />

<br />
'''Morbo's species''' is a race of humanoid green [[List of alien species|aliens]]. They have yellow eyes and gigantic heads, which are capable of inflating and deflating. This suggests that they may contain their lungs. They seem to be a bald species, much like the [[Decapodians]] and the [[Antarians]]. Very little is known about the species, as we don't know their races true name or their homeworld, and the only identified creatures are [[Morbo]] and [[Fawn]].<br />
<br />
We know from what Morbo has said, however, that his species have a large society, and it seems they are planning a very blatant and shameless attack on [[Earth]]. It's unknown whether they are a member of [[DOOP]] or not, but they are probably not that civilized.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
Though it is unknown if Morbo's species live in a tribal setting or not, it is evident that they are somewhat technologically advanced. Their skin color comes in various shades of green, as well as tourqoise, and, like some [[Humans]], they have bulging veins, although this seems to be a species trait rather than a personal thing, the color of which compliments the skin. The species have slitted eyes, which means they probably have great eyesight in both dim light and broad day light. It is assumed that Morbo and his species are reptilian. Though they complain and fight at times, it is still occasionally shown that these creatures know how to love each other, as Morbo shows Fawn, in his own odd way.<br />

== Characters ==<br />
*[[Fawn]]<br />
*[[Morbo]]<br />
*Morbo's belligerent and numerous offspring (mentioned only)<br />
*Unnamed [[holophonor]] musicians<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*There is a [[Futurama animation cel|''Futurama'' animation cel]] featuring the species invading Earth.<br />
*Their appearance is based on the aliens from the movie ''{{w|Invasion of the Saucer Men}}''.<br />
*They also sort of resemble the martians from the 1996 movie Mars Attacks<br />

'''Morbo''' the Annihillator is one of the [[Morbo's species|little known species of yellow-eyed aliens with gigantic heads]], the husband of [[Fawn]], and the father of her numerous belligerent offspring. He is also a widely known [[television]] presenter. Morbo started as a reporter in [[Los Angeles]], and now co-hosts several shows on [[Channel √2]], most prominently, [[Channel √2 News|the news]], with [[Linda van Schoonhoven]], with whom he maintains [[#Relationship with Linda|a relationship]] that is at least odd.<br />
<br />
A violent [[List of alien species|alien]] and a good friend of [[Richard Nixon's head|President Richard Nixon]], he is also obsessed with taking over [[Earth]], mentioning it very frequently. Apparently, he is the scout of an impending [[:Category:Alien Invasions of Earth|alien invasion]], although it is possible that his evil is just an act used to increase ratings. Morbo always refers to himself in the third person, and his exposed torso is [[A Taste of Freedom|terrifying]] beyond imagination.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Together with [[Fawn|his wife]], he attended the party in the [[Museum of Natural History]] following the victory of [[Earthicans]] to [[Spiderians]] {{et|4ACV16}}, the opera [[Philip J.

<br />
In [[3010]], Morbo the Annihillator was seen in a recorded video shown in the [[V-GINY]] {{et|6ACV02}}, announced the first known ad for the [[eyePhone]] {{et|6ACV03}}, covered the passing of [[Proposition ∞]] and consequent legalization of [[Robosexuality|robosexual]] marriage {{et|6ACV04}}, hosted the ''[[Who Dares to Be a Millionaire?]]'' game show {{et|6ACV05}}, and announced ''[[Doom]]'' at 11 {{et|6ACV10}}.

'''Fawn''' is one of the [[Morbo's species|little known species of yellow-eyed aliens with gigantic heads]], the wife of [[Morbo]], and the mother of his numerous belligerent offspring.

Fry|Fry]] wrote ([[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings|4ACV18]]), and the [[Violet Dwarf Star Implosion]] ceremomy ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]). Apparently, she is not a very good cook.<br />

<br />
Morbo's species' are a race of humanoid green [[List of alien species|aliens]]. They have yellow eyes and gigantic heads, which are capable of inflating and deflating. This suggests that they may contain their lungs. They seem to be a bald species, much like the [[Decapodians]] and the [[Antarians]]. Very little is known about the species, as we don't know their races true name or their homeworld, and the only identified creatures are [[Morbo]] and [[Fawn]].<br />
<br />
We know from what Morbo has said, however, that his species have a large society, and it seems they are planning a very blatant and shameless attack on [[Earth]]. It's unknown whether they are a member of [[DOOP]] or not, but they are probably not that civilized.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
Though it is unknown if Morbo's species live in a tribal setting or not, it is evident that they are somewhat technologically advanced. Their skin color comes in various shades of green, as well as tourqoise, and, like some [[Humans]], they have bulging veins, although this seems to be a species trait rather than a personal thing, the color of which compliments the skin. The species have slitted eyes, which means they probably have great eyesight in both dim light and broad day light. It is assumed that Morbo and his species are reptilian. Though they complain and fight at times, it is still occasionally shown that these creatures know how to love each other, as Morbo shows Fawn, in his own odd way.<br />

<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*There is a [[Futurama animation cel|''Futurama'' animation cel]] featuring the species invading Earth.<br />
*Their appearance is based on the aliens from the movie ''{{w|Invasion of the Saucer Men}}''.<br />
*They also sort of resemble the martians from the 1996 movie Mars Attacks<br />

[[File:Alienspecies.jpg|thumb|Various species shown on a hologram]]<br />
By the year [[3000]], it is not only [[humans]] who roam the [[Earth]], or for that matter, [[Universe Gamma|the universe]], there are several thousands other species out there. Most are united under the [[Democratic Order of Planets]], while others wage war upon the others.<br />
<br />
== List of Intelligent Species ==<br />
=== Amazonians ===<br />
{{see|Amazonians}}<br />
[[File:Amazonians.jpg|left|thumb]]<br />
The '''Amazonians''' are giant man-hating women who live on [[Planet Amazonia]]. With Amazonian '''''men''''' being extinct for hundreds of years,it is unknown how exactly they keep their reproduction. The [[Amazonians]] have been known to wear very revealing clothing and have a rather primitive civilization. The females also seem to have some [[Earth]]-like traditions, such as ''basketball''.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
=== Amphibiosans ===<br />
{{see|Amphibiosans}}<br />
[[File:Amphibiosans.jpg|left|thumb]]<br />
'''Amphibiosans''' are from [[Amphibios 9]] and strangely have no bones. However they are supported by a system of fluid filled bladders. Their bodies are very flexible and they aren't very strong. They can also change the color of their skin, similar to chameleons. Male Amphibiosans can become pregnant whilst they're in love with just the touch of a person's hand. When a Male mates with the soulmate, they go into a so-called:'''Receptive State''',their skins then become '''Semi-Permiable membranes''' allowing the passage of '''genetic material'''. When ''its time...'', the young come out from the males ... in the form of one big, lumpy puddle of what looks like frog or fish eggs, the '''offspring''' then emerge with the big-eyed head of an adult [[Amphibiosan]] and must survive to the swamp, where they will then go through a '''frog-like cycle''' at the end of which,they become '''land walking children'''.<br />

The '''Brain Slugs''' are beings from the [[Brain Slug Planet]]. They attach themselves to people's head and try to get other Brain Slugs onto the heads of others. They even have their own voting party. Fry had one but it starved and died as Fry was too stupid to support the brain slugs life; this could also imply that the brain slugs feed off of the delta brain wave, a brain wave that all intelligent beings are said to have, except for Fry.<br />

=== Brain Spawn ===<br />

<br />
Morbo's species' are a race of humanoid green [[List of alien species|aliens]]. They have yellow eyes and gigantic heads, which are capable of inflating and deflating. This suggests that they may contain their lungs. They seem to be a bald species, much like the [[Decapodians]] and the [[Antarians]]. Very little is known about the species, as we don't know their races true name or their homeworld, and the only identified creatures are [[Morbo]] and [[Fawn]].<br />
<br />
We know from what Morbo has said, however, that his species have a large society, and it seems they are planning a very blatant and shameless attack on [[Earth]]. It's unknown whether they are a member of [[DOOP]] or not, but they are probably not that civilized.<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
Though it is unknown if Morbo's species live in a tribal setting or not, it is evident that they are somewhat technologically advanced. Their skin color comes in various shades of green, as well as tourqoise, and, like some [[Humans]], they have bulging veins, although this seems to be a species trait rather than a personal thing, the color of which compliments the skin. The species have slitted eyes, which means they probably have great eyesight in both dim light and broad day light. It is assumed that Morbo and his species are reptilian. Though they complain and fight at times, it is still occasionally shown that these creatures know how to love each other, as Morbo shows Fawn, in his own odd way.<br />
<br />
== Characters ==<br />
*[[Fawn]]<br />
*[[Morbo]]<br />
*Unnamed [[holophonor]] musicians<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*There is a [[Futurama animation cel|''Futurama'' animation cel]] featuring the species invading Earth.<br />
*Their appearance is based on the aliens from the movie ''{{w|Invasion of the Saucer Men}}''.<br />
*They also sort of resemble the martians from the 1996 movie Mars Attacks<br />

'''Bender Bending Rodr&iacute;guez''' (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, 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]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
Bender Bending Rodríguez 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. 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|Bender Bending Rodríguez]]<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]]]]<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]]]]<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 Rodríguez|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 />
== 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. <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. <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 />
Bender's composition will possibly be referenced in 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.]]<br />

*[[Hermes Conrad|Inspector 5]], Inspector at Mom's friendly robot plant in Tijuana, Mexico {{et|6ACV06}}.<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.<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.<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 />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Benders E-mail 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 "Destruct Sequence 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 III: The Search for Spock.<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 />
*His full name is first mentioned aloud in the episode "[[The Luck of the Fryrish]]".<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 both ''[[Family Guy]]'' 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 [[1ACV12|"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 />
=== 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! [[When Aliens Attack|(1ACV12)]]<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! [[Xmas Story|(2ACV04)]]<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! [[Anthology of Interest I|(2ACV16)]]<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! [[Obsoletely Fabulous|(4ACV14)]]<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! [[The Farnsworth Parabox|(4ACV15)]]<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{f|3}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. (Said by [[Fry]], {{f|4}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! (Said by a Microscopic [[Bender duplicate]]) {{et|6ACV17}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! (Said by Bender During the Video Game Segment) {{et|6ACV26}}<br />
*Bite my fhiny metal aff [[All the Presidents' Heads| (6ACV23)]]<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 Benders' 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 />
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.<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 />
