== Biography ==<br />
Dwight is born in [[2989]], the same week as the professor begin to clone himself. When he was 12, he attended the [[Wozniak Nerd Academy]] with [[Cubert Farnsworth]] until they were fired to have attacked [[Brett Blob]] with salt. To prove their parents that they could work, they launched [[Awesome Express]], a newspaper-delivery company which somehow replaced Planet Express. But, instead of delivering newspapers, they were dumping them on the Moon, fortunately their parents make things go better {{et|3ACV12}}. He joined the Planet Express [[blernsball]] team against [[Cygnoids]] {{et|3ACV16}}. After seeing [[Calculon]]'s big birthday party on the [[TV]], he and Cubert decided to make a birthday party. But Cubert and Dwight's party is a fail, nobody came. To be cool, they decided to imitate [[Bender]]. Eventually, the [[Fathers Against Rude Television]] make Bender's character to disappear of TV, and Dwight remains as before. {{et|4ACV06}}.<br />
In [[3004]], after the [[Earthican $300 bill|$300]] tax rebate, Hermes bought [[List of Products#Bamboo Boogie Boots|Bamboo Boogie Boots]] to his son. With the one cent left, Dwight bought 5 shares of Amazon.com {{et|4ACV16}}.<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
Dwight is proud of his Jamaican ancestry and wears his hair in dreadlocks and a shirt showing the Jamaican national colors. His best friend is Cubert Farnsworth.

"'''Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences'''" is the ninety-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eleventh of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a {{w|midlife crisis}}. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets horn extensions, flashy new clothes, and goes out to [[The Hip Joint]] to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
<br />
Leela and the crew help Lrrr stage an invasion of Earth using a fake broadcast with the help of [[Orson Welles' head]] à la the 1938 {{w|The War of the Worlds (radio drama)|''War of the Worlds'' radio broadcast}}. Ndnd is fooled, but so is [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the Earthican army, who immediately surrender Earth to Lrrr.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "She is not the boss of you. I am the boss of you!" ===<br />
Leela scolds Lrrr, demanding that he end the charade and tell Ndnd the truth, but he hesitates due to Ndnd's renewed romantic interest and forces the [[Earthicans|citizens of Earth]] into slavery. During this time, Leela constantly nags Lrrr about telling Ndnd the truth, which causes Ndnd to become suspicious about their relationship. She confronts Lrrr, demanding to know if he is having an affair. Grrrl reappears, announcing that she loves Lrrr and will fight for him, brandishing a disintegration ray. Ndnd quickly takes the weapon and shoots Grrrl, causing her body to disappear. Ndnd reveals that she is not upset that Lrrr may have been minutely romantically involved with Grrrl, but that Lrrr allowed Leela to nag him, which Ndnd feels is her role and right as his wife. She invokes an Omicronian rite called [[Rrrmrrrmrrrfrrrmrrr or Consequences]] where Lrrr is reluctantly forced to prove his love for Ndnd by shooting Leela, whom he values as a friend, with the Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray.<br />
<br />
As he fires, Fry leaps in front of Leela, sacrificing his life. Ndnd is moved by Lrrr's demonstration of love and the two happily depart back to Omicron Persei 8. Leela is devastated by Fry's sacrifice. However, as the Omicronians depart, Grrrl reappears, shocking the crew. She reveals that the disintegration gun is merely one of the Professor's novelty teleportation guns that she purchased from an ad in the back of a comic book. She then begins to hit on Zoidberg who responds by saying of course he'll marry her. Realizing that Fry is alive, the crew find him back at [[Planet Express]], putting the finishing touches on his comic. Inspired by his own heroic actions, his super hero counterpart attempts to rescue Leela from the malevolent alien by leaping in front of its ray gun. Leela is pleased with the new ending and commends the comic book, giving Fry a kiss on the cheek.<br />
<br />

[[file:Well heads.png|thumb|left|[[Orson Welles' head]] in the [[Head Museum]], near ''[[Futurama]]'' voice actor [[Frank Welker]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Once again, [[Maurice LaMarche]] reprises his Orson Welles impression and his parody of Welles' infamous "Frozen Peas" recording session, having previously reprised this impression for such diverse projects as the Brain in ''Pinky and the Brain'' and Welles himself in the film ''Ed Wood'' (although the physical incarnation of Welles was played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and the TV shows ''The Critic'', and ''The Simpsons''.<br />
*An actual "[[Delivery-Boy Man]]" comic, based on the events of this episode, was released as a promotional item at Comic Con 2010 a month prior to its airing.<br />
*This is the second time that Fry jumps in the way of peril to save Leela.<br />
*The heads of [[Frank Welker]], {{w|Paul Weller}}, and {{w|H. G. Wells}} among others can be seen beside [[Orson Welles' head]]. <br />
**Maybe they are "stored" in alphabetical order.<br />
*This is the fourth time we see Matt Groening's head, the previous times being in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />

==== Comic Con ====<br />
The Comic Con section especially is filled with allusions and references:<br />

*[[Lrrr]]'s and [[Ndnd]]'s relationship problems were previously established in "[[Spanish Fry]]".<br />
*At Comic-Con 3010, [[Lrrr]] states that he recognizes Leela from somewhere; in response, Leela says that she was in his mouth at one time. A reference to the event in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*At the Comic-Con costume contest, the contestants are wearing costumes of characters seen in previous episodes/DVD movies of Futurama:<br />
**There are people dressed up as [[Mom]] and her three sons.<br />
**Grrl is dressed up as [[Edna]], Zoidberg's love, from "[[Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love]]".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as [[Yivo]] from "''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
**There are [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] along his [[Chinese Boy|chinese]] and [[Indian Boy|indian]] friend dressed up as members of the [[brain spawn]] last seen in "[[The Why of Fry]]".<br />
*The cross-species dresser uses the word [[Popplers]] in this episode, which has not been heard since its premier in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*The army, led by Zapp Brannigan before surrendering to Lrrr, are wearing the same army uniforms seen since "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] uses his left eye as a broadcasting camera once again, which he used previously in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*[[Professor Farnsworth]] uses his Fing-longer to wake up [[Lrrr]]; the Fing-longer was introduced in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and has been seen most recently in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
*As a continuation of a running gag established in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Lrrr once again has trouble speaking into a microphone.<br />
*The “Spaceship in a bottle” on display at the Comic-Con is not unlike Professor Farnsworth's [[Scale model of the universe's largest bottle]] with a spaceship inside, as seen in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*Lrrr buys his car from Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium which was first seen in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*The [[Australian Man]] has once again been enslaved, after being enslaved in the episodes "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]" and "[[A Pharaoh to Remember]]".<br />
*Ndnd watches the live "Earth Invasion" broadcast in real time, despite Omicron Persei 8 being 1000 light years away from Earth. This delay in signal reception was an integral plot point in the episode "[[When Aliens Attack]]", when Lrrr travels to Earth demanding resolution to the unfinished episode of "Single Female Lawyer", that had aired on Earth 1000 years prior. It was established, however, in "[[A Clone of My Own]]" and the [[episode Commentary Listing|episodes' commentaries]], that more recent broadcasts travel at the ''new'', faster, speed of light.<br />

*When Lrrr and Bender go to [[The Hip Joint]], [[Grrrl]] asks "Hey, cool cape, wheredja get that?" and Lrrr responds "What, this old thing? I murdered my father." However, Lrrr's cape is extremely similar, if not identical, to the one he has worn throughout the series.<br />
**He may have actually killed [[Lrrr's father|his father]], who was last seen in "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''", and acquired an identical cape accordingly.<br />

<br />
"'''Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences'''" is the ninety-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eleventh of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a {{w|midlife crisis}}. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets horn extensions, flashy new clothes, and goes out to [[The Hip Joint]] to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
Leela and the crew help Lrrr stage an invasion of Earth using a fake broadcast with the help of [[Orson Welles' head]] à la the 1938 {{w|The War of the Worlds (radio drama)|''War of the Worlds'' radio broadcast}}. Ndnd is fooled, but so is [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the Earthican army, who immediately surrender Earth to Lrrr.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "She is not the boss of you. I am the boss of you!" ===<br />
Leela scolds Lrrr, demanding that he end the charade and tell Ndnd the truth, but he hesitates due to Ndnd's renewed romantic interest and forces the [[Earthicans|citizens of Earth]] into slavery. During this time, Leela constantly nags Lrrr about telling Ndnd the truth, which causes Ndnd to become suspicious about their relationship. She confronts Lrrr, demanding to know if he is having an affair. Grrrl reappears, announcing that she loves Lrrr and will fight for him, brandishing a disintegration ray. Ndnd quickly takes the weapon and shoots Grrrl, causing her body to disappear. Ndnd reveals that she is not upset that Lrrr may have been minutely romantically involved with Grrrl, but that Lrrr allowed Leela to nag him, which Ndnd feels is her role and right as his wife. She invokes an Omicronian rite called [[Rrrmrrrmrrrfrrrmrrr or Consequences]] where Lrrr is reluctantly forced to prove his love for Ndnd by shooting Leela, whom he values as a friend, with the Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray.<br />
As he fires, Fry leaps in front of Leela, sacrificing his life. Ndnd is moved by Lrrr's demonstration of love and the two happily depart back to Omicron Persei 8. Leela is devastated by Fry's sacrifice. However, as the Omicronians depart, Grrrl reappears, shocking the crew. She reveals that the disintegration gun is merely one of the Professor's novelty teleportation guns that she purchased from an ad in the back of a comic book. She then begins to hit on Zoidberg who responds by saying of course he'll marry her. Realizing that Fry is alive, the crew find him back at [[Planet Express]], putting the finishing touches on his comic. Inspired by his own heroic actions, his super hero counterpart attempts to rescue Leela from the malevolent alien by leaping in front of its ray gun. Leela is pleased with the new ending and commends the comic book, giving Fry a kiss on the cheek.<br />
<br />

[[file:Well heads.png|thumb|left|[[Orson Welles' head]] in the [[Head Museum]], near ''[[Futurama]]'' voice actor [[Frank Welker]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Once again, [[Maurice LaMarche]] reprises his Orson Welles impression and his parody of Welles' infamous "Frozen Peas" recording session, having previously reprised this impression for such diverse projects as the Brain in ''Pinky and the Brain'' and Welles himself in the film ''Ed Wood'' (although the physical incarnation of Welles was played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and the TV shows ''The Critic'', and ''The Simpsons''.<br />
*An actual "[[Delivery-Boy Man]]" comic, based on the events of this episode, was released as a promotional item at Comic Con 2010 a month prior to its airing.<br />
*This is the second time that Fry jumps in the way of peril to save Leela.<br />
*The heads of [[Frank Welker]], {{w|Paul Weller}}, and {{w|H. G. Wells}} among others can be seen beside [[Orson Welles' head]]. <br />
**Maybe they are "stored" in alphabetical order.<br />
*This is the fourth time we see Matt Groening's head, the previous times being in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />

It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a {{w|mid-life crisis}}. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets horn extensions, flashy new clothes, and goes out to [[The Hip Joint]] to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
Leela and the crew help Lrrr stage an invasion of Earth using a fake broadcast with the help of [[Orson Welles' head]] à la the 1938 {{w|The War of the Worlds (radio drama)|''War of the Worlds'' radio broadcast}}. Ndnd is fooled, but so is [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the Earthican army, who immediately surrender Earth to Lrrr.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "She is not the boss of you. I am the boss of you!" ===<br />
Leela scolds Lrrr, demanding that he end the charade and tell Ndnd the truth, but he hesitates due to Ndnd's renewed romantic interest and forces the [[Earthicans|citizens of Earth]] into slavery. During this time, Leela constantly nags Lrrr about telling Ndnd the truth, which causes Ndnd to become suspicious about their relationship. She confronts Lrrr, demanding to know if he is having an affair. Grrrl reappears, announcing that she loves Lrrr and will fight for him, brandishing a disintegration ray. Ndnd quickly takes the weapon and shoots Grrrl, causing her body to disappear. Ndnd reveals that she is not upset that Lrrr may have been minutely romantically involved with Grrrl, but that Lrrr allowed Leela to nag him, which Ndnd feels is her role and right as his wife. She invokes an Omicronian rite called [[Rrrmrrrmrrrfrrrmrrr or Consequences]] where Lrrr is reluctantly forced to prove his love for Ndnd by shooting Leela, whom he values as a friend, with the Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray.<br />
As he fires, Fry leaps in front of Leela, sacrificing his life. Ndnd is moved by Lrrr's demonstration of love and the two happily depart back to Omicron Persei 8. Leela is devastated by Fry's sacrifice. However, as the Omicronians depart, Grrrl reappears, shocking the crew. She reveals that the disintegration gun is merely one of the Professor's novelty teleportation guns that she purchased from an ad in the back of a comic book. She then begins to hit on Zoidberg who responds by saying of course he'll marry her. Realizing that Fry is alive, the crew find him back at [[Planet Express]], putting the finishing touches on his comic. Inspired by his own heroic actions, his super hero counterpart attempts to rescue Leela from the malevolent alien by leaping in front of its ray gun. Leela is pleased with the new ending and commends the comic book, giving Fry a kiss on the cheek.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*Once again, [[Maurice LaMarche]] reprises his Orson Welles impression and his parody of Welles' infamous "Frozen Peas" recording session, having previously reprised this impression for such diverse projects as the Brain in ''Pinky and the Brain'' and Welles himself in the film ''Ed Wood'' (although the physical incarnation of Welles was played by Vincent D'Onofrio) and the TV shows ''The Critic'', and ''The Simpsons''.<br />
*An actual "[[Delivery-Boy Man]]" comic, based on the events of this episode, was released as a promotional item at Comic Con 2010 a month prior to its airing.<br />
*This is the second time that Fry jumps in the way of peril to save Leela.<br />
*The heads of [[Frank Welker]], {{w|Paul Weller}}, and {{w|H. G. Wells}} among others can be seen beside [[Orson Welles' head]]. <br />
**Maybe they are "stored" in alphabetical order.<br />
*This is the fourth time we see Matt Groening's head, the previous times being in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />

<br />
==== Comic Con ====<br />
The Comic Con section especially is filled with allusions and references:<br />
<br />
*Matt Groening's and David X. Cohen's heads' new show, "Futurella", is a self-parody of itself, down to the same opening sequence and the fact that it was cancelled before its time.<br />
**The people on the panel are the Futurama crew members that were on the 2010 Comic Con panel and [[Bill Morrison Robot|the panel's moderator]] is based on [[Bill Morrison]], who is their usual moderator.<br />
*Several cosplayers are references to popular movies, television series, Futurama characters and more:<br />
**{{w|Mario}} from {{w|Mario Bros.}} ([[Randy Munchnik|Randy]])<br />
**[[Mom]], [[Walt]], [[Larry]] and [[Igner]]<br />

*The "Toy-minator" seen at 3010 Comic-Con is a reference to "The Terminator" franchise and the stars beside the name is a reference to the "G.I. Joe" toy franchise.<br />
*The Zapp Brannigan action figures are modelled in the same pose as the actual [[Toynami]] figure, and the box is also of a similar design. His line refers to an outtake from the animated Star Trek series, where Shatner is asked to say the word "sabotage" differently, and tells the director "Don't tell me how to do it, it sickens me".<br />
* At Comic-Con, between “Videogame – The Movie” and “Movie – The Videogame”, a racer very similar to the racers in ''{{w|Tron}}'', the 1982 film turned video game, can be seen.<br />
*Leela makes a reference to [[Joss Whedon]], a Comic-Con fixture who is the creator of such projects as ''{{w|Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'', ''{{w|Firefly}}'', ''{{w|Serenity}}'', ''{{w|Dollhouse}}'', and ''{{w|Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog}}''.<br />
*When [[Matt Groening's head]] shoots [[Bender]] after he asks when a second ''[[the Simpsons|Simpsons]]'' movie will be made, Bender can be heard shouting, "D'OH!", which is, of course, {{w|Homer Simpson}}'s catchphrase.<br />
*When Fry is talking to Sergio Aragonés' Head, Aragonés says that he likes the little Doodles. Aragonés draws little Marginals for the MAD Magazine, which are printed between panels.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]", previously seen in many episodes, most recently "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*[[Lrrr]]'s and [[Ndnd]]'s relationship problems were previously established in "[[Spanish Fry]]".<br />
*At Comic-Con 3010, [[Lrrr]] states that he recognizes Leela from somewhere; in response, Leela says that she was in his mouth at one time. A reference to the event in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*At the Comic-Con costume contest, the contestants are wearing costumes of characters seen in previous episodes/DVD movies of Futurama:<br />
**There are people dressed up as [[Mom]] and her three sons.<br />
**Grrl is dressed up as [[Edna]], Zoidberg's love, from "[[Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love]]".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as [[Yivo]] from "''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
**There are [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] along his [[Chinese Boy|chinese]] and [[Indian Boy|indian]] friend dressed up as members of the [[brain spawn]] last seen in "[[The Why of Fry]]".<br />
*The cross-species dresser uses the word [[Popplers]] in this episode, which has not been heard since its premier in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*The army, led by Zapp Brannigan before surrendering to Lrrr, are wearing the same army uniforms seen since "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] uses his left eye as a broadcasting camera once again, which he used previously in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*[[Professor Farnsworth]] uses his Fing-longer to wake up [[Lrrr]]; the Fing-longer was introduced in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and has been seen most recently in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
*As a continuation of a running gag established in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Lrrr once again has trouble speaking into a microphone.<br />
*The “Spaceship in a bottle” on display at the Comic-Con is not unlike Professor Farnsworth's [[Scale model of the universe's largest bottle]] with a spaceship inside, as seen in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*Lrrr buys his car from Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium which was first seen in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*The [[Australian Man]] has once again been enslaved, after being enslaved in the episodes "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]" and "[[A Pharaoh to Remember]]".<br />
*Ndnd watches the live "Earth Invasion" broadcast in real time, despite Omicron Persei 8 being 1000 light years away from Earth. This delay in signal reception was an integral plot point in the episode "[[When Aliens Attack]]", when Lrrr travels to Earth demanding resolution to the unfinished episode of "Single Female Lawyer", that had aired on Earth 1000 years prior. It was established, however, in "[[A Clone of My Own]]" and the [[episode Commentary Listing|episodes' commentaries]], that more recent broadcasts travel at the ''new'', faster, speed of light.<br />

=== Goofs ===<br />
<br />
<!--THE REAL TIME TELEVISION THING IS _____NOOOOOOOT_____ A GOOF. Check talk page.--><br />
<br />
*When Lrrr and Bender go to [[The Hip Joint]], [[Grrrl]] asks "Hey, cool cape, wheredja get that?" and Lrrr responds "What, this old thing? I murdered my father." However, Lrrr's cape is extremely similar, if not identical, to the one he has worn throughout the series.<br />
**He may have actually killed [[Lrrr's father|his father]], who was last seen in "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''", and acquired an identical cape accordingly.<br />
**His claim might have been an outright lie, as an attempt to impress Grrl.<br />
*When they are broadcasting live, they are in the Planet Express building and then suddenly by [[the White House]].<br />
*No one should be dressed like the [[Brain Spawn]] because no one (except Fry) was able to remember that the brains tried to conquer and destroy Earth.<br />
**The fact no one remembers that the Earth was attacked by Brain Spawns doesn't mean that people are completely unaware of their existence.<br />
*When Leela tries to persuade Lrrr to avoid another War of the Worlds, just before Fry calls Orson Welles, Lrrr's horns are the same colour as the rest of his skin.<br />
*When Lrrr shoots the robot in the clothing store: <br />
**His "LRRR" necklace is legible in the mirror, when it should be reversed;<br />
**His reflection puts away its gun before he does.<br />

"'''Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences'''" is the ninety-ninth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eleventh of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the [[Broadcast season 7|seventh broadcast season]]. It aired 26 August, 2010 on [[Comedy Central]], and guest starred [[Katee Sackhoff]], [[Sergio Aragonés]] and ''Futurama'' creators [[Matt Groening]] and [[David X. Cohen]]. After a bungled [[Earth]] invasion, [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] leader [[Lrrr]] faces a mid-life crisis.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "I am Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8!" ===<br />
Stopping her husband watching ''[[The Scary Door]]'', [[Ndnd]] becomes fed up with [[Lrrr|Lrrr's]] lack of motivation to conquer other worlds. He reluctantly invades [[Earth]]. However, he arrives during [[Comic-Con Intergalactic|Comic-Con 3010]] and is mistaken for a costume contest participant and leaves dejected. Concurrently, [[Fry]] attempts to author [[Delivery-Boy Man (in-universe comic)|a superhero comic book]] featuring himself as the superhero saving a captured [[Leela]] from [[Invader X|a malevolent alien]]. The crew is unimpressed with the comic, with the exception of the back page of novelty toy ads for x-ray specs, sea monkeys, and [[Farnsworth Novelty Disintegrator Ray|the Professor's disintegration guns]], which are actually only teleportation guns. Leela also criticizes the comic, leaving Fry to figure out how to make the story more compelling.<br />
Back on [[Omicron Persei 8]], Ndnd learns of Lrrr's failure and kicks him out of their home. Lrrr returns to Earth, seeking shelter at the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'll do it for free." ===<br />
The crew diagnoses Lrrr and his marriage problems as symptomatic of a mid-life crisis. Leela encourages Lrrr to recommit himself to his marriage with Ndnd, but he listens instead to [[Bender]] and gets horn extensions, flashy new clothes, and goes out to a club to meet new women. There he meets an attractive female [[Omicronians|Omicronian]] named [[Grrrl]]. While on a date with her, she reveals that she is actually a [[Humans|human]] woman from the Comic-Con wearing an Omicronian costume. Though she is very attracted to real Omicronians, Lrrr rejects her and seeks Leela's advice on how to win back Ndnd.<br />
Leela and the crew help Lrrr stage an invasion of Earth using a fake broadcast with the help of [[Orson Welles' head]] à la the 1938 {{w|The War of the Worlds (radio drama)|''War of the Worlds'' radio broadcast}}. Ndnd is fooled, but so is [[Zapp Brannigan]] and the Earthican army, who immediately surrender Earth to Lrrr.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "She is not the boss of you. I am the boss of you!" ===<br />
Leela scolds Lrrr, demanding that he end the charade and tell Ndnd the truth, but he hesitates due to Ndnd's renewed romantic interest and forces the [[Earthicans|citizens of Earth]] into slavery. During this time, Leela constantly nags Lrrr about telling Ndnd the truth, which causes Ndnd to become suspicious about their relationship. She confronts Lrrr, demanding to know if he is having an affair. Grrrl reappears, announcing that she loves Lrrr and will fight for him, brandishing a disintegration ray.

*The "Toy-minator" seen at 3010 Comic-Con is a reference to "The Terminator" franchise and the stars beside the name is a reference to the "G.I. Joe" toy franchise.<br />
*The Zapp Brannigan action figures are modelled in the same pose as the actual [[Toynami]] figure, and the box is also of a similar design. His line refers to an outtake from the animated Star Trek series, where Shatner is asked to say the word "sabotage" differently, and tells the director "Don't tell me how to do it, it sickens me".<br />
* At Comic-Con, between “Videogame – The Movie” and “Movie – The Videogame”, a racer very similar to the racers in ''{{w|Tron}}'', the 1982 film turned video game, can be seen.<br />
*Leela makes a reference to [[Joss Whedon]], a Comic-Con fixture who is the creator of such projects as ''{{w|Buffy the Vampire Slayer}}'', ''{{w|Firefly}}'', ''{{w|Serenity}}'', ''{{w|Dollhouse}}'', and ''{{w|Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog}}''.<br />
*When [[Matt Groening's head]] shoots [[Bender]] after he asks when a second ''[[the Simpsons|Simpsons]]'' movie will be made, Bender can be heard shouting, "D'OH!", which is, of course, {{w|Homer Simpson}}'s catchphrase.<br />
*When Fry is talking to Sergio Aragonés' Head, Aragonés says that he likes the little Doodles. Aragonés draws little Marginals for the MAD Magazine, which are printed between panels.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*[[Lrrr]] watches an episode of "[[The Scary Door]]", previously seen in many episodes, most recently "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*[[Lrrr]]'s and [[Ndnd]]'s relationship problems were previously established in "[[Spanish Fry]]".<br />
*At Comic-Con 3010, [[Lrrr]] states that he recognizes Leela from somewhere; in response, Leela says that she was in his mouth at one time. A reference to the event in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*At the Comic-Con costume contest, the contestants are wearing costumes of characters seen in previous episodes/DVD movies of Futurama:<br />
**There are people dressed up as [[Mom]] and her three sons.<br />
**Grrl is dressed up as [[Edna]], Zoidberg's love, from "[[Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love]]".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as [[Yivo]] from "''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''".<br />
**There's someone dressed up as the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
**There are [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] along his [[Chinese Boy|chinese]] and [[Indian Boy|indian]] friend dressed up as members of the [[brain spawn]] last seen in "[[The Why of Fry]]".<br />
*The cross-species dresser uses the word [[Popplers]] in this episode, which has not been heard since its premier in "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*The army, led by Zapp Brannigan before surrendering to Lrrr, are wearing the same army uniforms seen since "[[War Is the H-Word]]".<br />
*[[Bender]] uses his left eye as a broadcasting camera once again, which he used previously in "[[When Aliens Attack]]".<br />
*[[Professor Farnsworth]] uses his Fing-longer to wake up [[Lrrr]]; the Fing-longer was introduced in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and has been seen most recently in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
*As a continuation of a running gag established in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", Lrrr once again has trouble speaking into a microphone.<br />
*The “Spaceship in a bottle” on display at the Comic-Con is not unlike Professor Farnsworth's [[Scale model of the universe's largest bottle]] with a spaceship inside, as seen in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*Lrrr buys his car from Malfunctioning Eddie's Rocket Car Emporium which was first seen in "[[Put Your Head on My Shoulder]]".<br />
*The [[Australian Man]] has once again been enslaved, after being enslaved in the episodes "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]" and "[[A Pharaoh to Remember]]".<br />
*Ndnd watches the live "Earth Invasion" broadcast in real time, despite Omicron Persei 8 being 1000 light years away from Earth. This delay in signal reception was an integral plot point in the episode "[[When Aliens Attack]]", when Lrrr travels to Earth demanding resolution to the unfinished episode of "Single Female Lawyer", that had aired on Earth 1000 years prior. It was established, however, in "[[A Clone of My Own]]" and the [[episode Commentary Listing|episodes' commentaries]], that more recent broadcasts travel at the ''new'', faster, speed of light.<br />

<hr />
<div>"'''Bite my shiny metal ass'''" is [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]]'s [[catchphrase]], and perhaps one of the most famous catchphrases on ''[[Futurama]]'', only "[[Good news, everyone]]" seems to come close.<br />
<br />
The catchphrase is also Bender's first uttered line on the show in episode "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" to [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], where he describes his reasoning with that his ass is "shinier than [Fry's]".<br />
<br />
It is commonly used by Bender as a retort to a comment at his expense.<br />
<br />
In one episode, "[[War Is the H-Word]]", Bender was prevented from saying the 'last word' of the quote because he had a bomb inside him which would explode if he said it. It could not be removed, so the word which would blow up a planet was changed to 'antiquing', one of Bender's least said words. Surpisingly, his second most said word was revealed to be 'daffodil'.<br />
<br />
The other of Bender's common catchphrases is "[[Me, Bender]]".<br />
<br />
== Variations ==<br />
It has also served on numerous accounts in slight variations.<br />
*"Bite my red-hot glowing ass". {{e|12}} -- said while Bender cooks burgers on the beach.<br />
*"Lick my frozen metal ass". {{e|17}} -- stated by Bender while skiing.<br />
*"Bite my colossal metal ass". {{e|29}} -- Bender says this as he is 500 feet tall in the segment "Terror at 500 Feet".<br />
*"Maybe you can interface with my ass - by biting it". {{e|33}} -- Bender's response when Leela suggests he interface with the [[Femputer]].<br />
*"1947 can kiss my shiny metal-AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!". {{e|51}} -- said by Bender, as his body-less head fell off the Planet Express ship to the ground. <br />
*"The modern world can bite my splintery wooden ass". {{e|68}} -- said by Bender after he gets "downgraded"<br />
*"Bite my glorious golden ass". {{e|69}} -- said by Bender-1 since he chose the golden finish as opposed to Bender-A, who chose the fog hat grey.<br />
*"Bite my shiny metal- OHHH NOOOOOOOO". {{e|72}} -- said by Bender after he realizes he traded his ass plate to the Robot Devil in exchange for a megaphone.<br />
*"Bite my shiny metal face". {{f|3}} -- said by [[Titanius Anglesmith]] before he smashes his shiny metal face against the [[Die of Power]].<br />
*"Bite my shiny metal hat". {{f|4}} - said by [[Fry]] in reference to the headpiece made of aluminum foil on his head to protect him from reading other people's thoughts.<br />
*"Is there an app for kissing my shiny metal ass?" {{e|91}} - about the new [[eyePhone]] (it turns out there are several).<br />

"'''Benderama'''" is the one hundredth and fifth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the seventeenth of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the second of the [[Broadcast season 8|eighth broadcast season]]. It aired 23 June, 2011, immediately following "[[Neutopia]]", which actually follows this episode in production order.<ref name="airdate"/> After [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] invents a [[Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker|a duplicating machine]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] begins copying himself. As [[Bender duplicates|the duplicates]] copy themselves in turn, the resulting copies threaten to consume all matter on [[Earth]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: Do you see a robot in this room named "Folder?" ===<br />
<br />
The Professor opens the episode by unveiling his latest invention, the [[Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker]] (which resembles an overhead projector), a duplication machine that is able to scan an object and then produce two exact copies at a 60 percent scale. The Professor explains that as he ages, his frame grows shorter, and he becomes more susceptible to the cold; therefore, he needs twice as many sweaters, in a smaller size. He demonstrates by scanning a full-size sweater, explains that the duplicator uses matter for fuel (and "any old useless matter will do"--in this case, Zoidberg's wedding photos), and produces two identical, smaller sweaters. The Professor asks Bender to fold his new sweaters, and Bender grudgingly complies, although the lazy robot complains about having to perform two separate tasks. Bender spots the unattended duplicator and, devising a way to more efficiently complete his chore, places the machine inside his torso, eats several pieces of lab equipment to power it, and produces two miniature Benders, whom he then asks to fold one sweater each (although they don't actually do this).<br />
<br />
Bender and his duplicates get along well, hanging out together, causing mischief, and even going on a Planet Express job to deliver hygiene products to an unattractive, self-conscious alien giant. The three Benders make a litany of crude jokes at the giant's expense, insulting his appearance, although the mild-mannered alien does not respond to their taunts... until Fry, attempting to be compassionate, remarks that the giant's looks are probably hereditary, inadvertently insulting his mother. This sends the giant into a rage, and he attacks the fleeing Planet Express ship, although the crew manage to escape.<br />
<br />
Back on Earth, Bender and his duplicates fondly reminisce about mocking the giant. When Bender asks his duplicates for a pair of cigars, they move to oblige him, but when he changes his mind and asks for four, they bristle at the idea of having to carry two cigars each. Instead, they activate their own duplicators (since Bender had the original duplicator inside him when he used it to scan himself, all of his duplicates have one as well), creating another four, slightly smaller Bender clones. This process repeats itself, rapidly escalating until Planet Express headquarters is infested with an army of increasingly smaller Benders.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: This place is crawling with yous! ===<br />
<br />
Bender is unconcerned with the steadily increasing number of his clones, as this simply means "there are more Benders around", which he considers to be a good thing. However, the Professor displays a mathematical equation projecting the Benders' population growth, explaining that they will continue to replicate ''ad infinitum'', multiplying exponentially; because they need matter in order to replicate, they will eventually consume the entire planet. The Professor calculates that the Benders are currently in their eleventh generation, making 2,046 Bender duplicates that must be destroyed. The crew scour the Planet Express building, exterminating the tiny Benders like vermin, and are able to account for them all, but Amy realizes that one of the dead Benders is actually a doll, a piece of merchandise left over from [[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television|Bender's television career]]. Bender is not worried that a single duplicate managed to escape, believing it could do little harm, only for his couch to be eaten out from under him by a swarm of microscopic Benders, which appear as a "grey goo". The Professor laments that the Benders will eat all the matter on Earth, but when they also consume Bender's beer, Leela points out that all Benders, like the original, are powered by alcohol; they will exhaust the world's supply of booze long before they are able to destroy it.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, the Benders soon drink all the alcohol in the world, and with none left to replace it, they begin to die off. As the professor is bathing, however, he notices that his bath water has somehow been transformed into alcohol; the Benders, which have miniaturized to the atomic level, have begun rearranging water and carbon dioxide molecules into alcohol molecules in order to provide themselves with more fuel. Within hours, there will be no fresh water left on Earth.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: Big Bender starts right now! ===<br />
<br />
As a result of all the drinking water on the planet being converted into alcohol, everyone in the world becomes severely intoxicated. Shortly afterward, the alien giant arrives on Earth to apologize for his earlier attack on the Planet Express ship, but the drunken crew berate him with savage insults (a situation that does not improve when Zapp Brannigan begins firing on him from a tank). When the giant, struggling to control his temper, is unable to reach his therapist, he enters a rampage, and begins to destroy New New York. Fry pleads with Bender--who, as a robot, is the only member of the crew to remain sober--to stop the giant. The slothful Bender is reluctant, but when Fry offers to fold the Professor's shirts in exchange for Bender saving the world (which Bender computes as Fry performing two tasks against his one), Bender agrees, believing that he got the better end of the deal.<br />
<br />
Bender walks into the street and calls upon the assistance of his many microscopic duplicates, overcoming their inherent laziness by explaining that if they all cooperate to complete their single job, they will each only have to contribute one-quintillionth of the required effort. The numerous copies swarm around Bender, taking the form of a single, gigantic "Big Bender" who engages the giant in a fistfight. Bender initially has the upper hand, but after he insults the giant's mother, the giant begins to pummel him. The giant appears to have won, only for the Benders to swarm across him, devouring him until only dust remains. Exhilarated by his victory, Bender asks his copies to use their powers to help him defeat other "monsters", such as poverty, disease, and "unliteracy"; the Benders, however, are repulsed by the idea of having to do more work, and leave the planet in search of a place where they "won't have to do one-quintillionth of a thing all the time", leaving a battered, partially eaten Earth behind.<br />
<br />
The next morning, the Planet Express crew are all recovering from a collective hangover, although the Professor is in high spirits, as someone finally folded his sweaters. The crew were all too drunk to do this, prompting Fry to ask Bender if he finally learned a lesson about being lazy. Bender replies that maybe he did, but adds with a chuckle that perhaps he rescued one of the mini-Benders solely for the purpose of folding the sweaters for him. Bender exhales the smoke from his cigar toward the camera, revealing that it is not smoke at all, but a cloud of countless mini-Benders, all laughing maniacally.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
During May and June [[2011]], ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' released six items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of the unattractive giant monster (together with confirmation that he will be voiced by Patton Oswalt) on 9 May, a [[promotional picture]] featuring various copies of [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] on 10 May, part of [[Storyboard:Benderama|the storyboard]] showing the [[Planet Express crew]] prepare to deliver a package to the monster on 11 May, a promotional picture featuring three Benders riding a bicycle on 12 May, a promotional picture featuring a fight between a giant Bender and the monster on 13 May, and a video clip featuring the crew discussing the many Benders by the [[conference table]] on 15 June.<br />
<br />
On 21 June, ''{{w|Entertainment Weekly}}'' posted another video, this one featuring the monster destroying [[New New York]].<ref>[http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/06/21/patton-oswalt-futurama-video/ 'Futurama': A giant Patton Oswalt unleashes his wrath on New New York]</ref><br />

== Reception ==<br />
In it's original U.S. broadcast on 23 June, 2011, "Benderama" scored a 1.1 share among adults 18-49 and 2.47 million viewers.<ref>{{cite web |url =http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/06/24/thursday-cable-ratings-burn-notice-swamp-people-suits-nba-draft-wilfred-top-night-futurama-louie-more/96496/|title =Thursday Cable Ratings: Burn Notice, Swamp People, Suits, NBA Draft, Wilfred top Night + Futurama, Louie & More|author = Seidman, Robert|date = 2011-06-24||site = TVbytheNumbers.com|accessdate = 2011-06-25}}</ref><br />
<br />
In a preview of "[[Neutopia]]" and "Benderama", Katie Schenkel from ''CliqueClack TV'' commented that these two episodes "[weren't] [her] favourite".<ref name="cliqueclack-preview">{{cite web |url=http://cliqueclack.com/tv/2011/06/20/futurama-benderama-neutopia-preview/ |title=Futurama comes back … with a stumble |author=Schenkel, Katie |date=2011-06-20 |accessdate=2011-06-20 |publisher=CliqueClack TV}}</ref> Reflecting on "Benderama", Schenkel commented that the end of the episode had its own plot, after the main plot had been resolved, as if the main plot wasn't long enough,<ref name="cliqueclack-preview"/> in addition, Schenkel commented that she felt that the guest star, [[Patton Oswalt]] &ndash; while excellent in his performance &ndash; was given a throwaway role.<ref name="cliqueclack-preview"/> Of the two episodes, Schenkel preferred "Benderama" over "Neutopia".<ref name="cliqueclack-preview"/><br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* It is among the few [[one-word titled media]].<br />
* "Benderama" is one of only three [[season 6]] episodes to include the full [[opening sequence]], the other two being "[[Rebirth]]" and "[[That Darn Katz!]]". In the other episodes, the opening sequence is abridged and the opening cartoon is cut to save time.<br />
* The song played during the montage of the Planet Express crew killing all the Bender clones is "Rock and Roll Pest Control" by {{w|Young Fresh Fellows}}.<br />
* The formula that the professor shows is incorrect. The total mass of all of the Benders should be the sum of the number of Benders in each generation times the mass of each Bender in that generation. The number of Benders in each generation is twice the number of Benders in the previous generation, thus there are 2^n Benders in the nth generation. Mass changes as the cube of the scaling factor, thus each Bender weighs 0.6^3=21.6% of what its parent weighs. If we assume that the mass of the original Bender is M_0, then the mass of an nth generation Bender is M_0*0.216^n. Thus the mass of all of the Benders after an infinite number of generations is the sum of terms of the form 2^n*(M_0*0.216^n), where n goes from 0 to infinity. This series does converge.<br />
* This is the third time that ''Futurama'' gets away with almost dropping the S-bomb on the show. In ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', Bender says, "No shklit." In "[[Lethal Inspection]]", a member of the sith is named [[Darth Ithead]], and in this episode, Morbo says that everyone is "tetty much protally fitshaced," a drunken spoonerism on "pretty much totally shitfaced".<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<br />
[[file:The Scary Door 6ACV17.png|thumb|right|The ''[[The Scary Door]]'' episode resembles the "{{w|The Brain Center at Whipple's}}" episode of ''{{w|The Twilight Zone}}''.]]<br />
<br />
*The title is a pun of [[Bender]] and [[Futurama]].<br />
*[[The Scary Door narrator|''The Scary Door'' narrator]] says "A picture of yourself in a boat on a river", a play on the first line of {{w|The Beatles}}' song "{{w|Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds}}" - "Picture yourself in a boat on a river".<br />
** The plot of the Scary Door episode is somewhat similar to that of the ''{{w|The Twilight Zone|Twilight Zone}}'' episode "{{w|The Brain Center at Whipple's}}".<br />
*[[Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker|The duplicator's]] name is a reference to the {{w|Banach–Tarski paradox}}.<br />
*Bender says, "Hi, I'm Bender, this is my robot Bender and this is my other robot Bender." This is a reference to the TV series ''{{w|Newhart}}'', specifically the character of Larry and his brothers Darryl, whom he always introduced, "Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl and this is my other brother Darryl."<br />
* Farnsworth asks Scruffy what the tiny Bender is doing in his soup. This is a play on an old vaudeville joke where a customer asks a waiter what a fly is doing in his soup, and the waiter usually replies, "The backstroke."<br />
* Farnsworth refers to the bathroom as "the situation room", most likely a reference to the {{w|CNN}} {{w|The Situation Room|program of the same name}}.<br />
*After 50 foot Bender falls and "dies", Fry falls to his knees and screams "no", similar to the vision in the [[What-If Machine]] from "[[Anthology of Interest I]]". The scene is a reference to ''{{w|King Kong}}''.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Braino bill.png|thumb|right|[[Braino]] appearing on the Earthican $30 bill.]]<br />
<br />
* A new episode of ''[[The Scary Door]]'' appears. ''The Scary Door'' was first seen in "[[A Head in the Polls]]".<br />
* [[Braino]], a respected genious and one of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor's]] idols, appears on the $30 bill. Braino previously appeared mentioned, on a bust and on a [[Vinci|Vincian]] statue in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />

"'''Benderama'''" is the one hundredth and fifth episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the seventeenth of the [[Season 6|sixth production season]] and the second of the [[Broadcast season 8|eighth broadcast season]]. It aired 23 June, 2011, immediately following "[[Neutopia]]", which actually follows this episode in production order.<ref name="airdate"/> After [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] invents a [[Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker|a duplicating machine]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] begins copying himself. As [[Bender duplicates|the duplicates]] copy themselves in turn, the resulting copies threaten to consume all matter on [[Earth]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: Do you see a robot in this room named "Folder?" ===<br />
<br />
The Professor opens the episode by unveiling his latest invention, the [[Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker]] (which resembles an overhead projector), a duplication machine that is able to scan an object and then produce two exact copies at a 60 percent scale. The Professor explains that as he ages, his frame grows shorter, and he becomes more susceptible to the cold; therefore, he needs twice as many sweaters, in a smaller size. He demonstrates by scanning a full-size sweater, explains that the duplicator uses matter for fuel (and "any old useless matter will do"--in this case, Zoidberg's wedding photos), and produces two identical, smaller sweaters. The Professor asks Bender to fold his new sweaters, and Bender grudgingly complies, although the lazy robot complains about having to perform two separate tasks. Bender spots the unattended duplicator and, devising a way to more efficiently complete his chore, places the machine inside his torso, eats several pieces of lab equipment to power it, and produces two miniature Benders, whom he then asks to fold one sweater each (although they don't actually do this).<br />
<br />
Bender and his duplicates get along well, hanging out together, causing mischief, and even going on a Planet Express job to deliver hygiene products to an unattractive, self-conscious alien giant. The three Benders make a litany of crude jokes at the giant's expense, insulting his appearance, although the mild-mannered alien does not respond to their taunts... until Fry, attempting to be compassionate, remarks that the giant's looks are probably hereditary, inadvertently insulting his mother. This sends the giant into a rage, and he attacks the fleeing Planet Express ship, although the crew manage to escape.<br />
<br />
Back on Earth, Bender and his duplicates fondly reminisce about mocking the giant. When Bender asks his duplicates for a pair of cigars, they move to oblige him, but when he changes his mind and asks for four, they bristle at the idea of having to carry two cigars each. Instead, they activate their own duplicators (since Bender had the original duplicator inside him when he used it to scan himself, all of his duplicates have one as well), creating another four, slightly smaller Bender clones. This process repeats itself, rapidly escalating until Planet Express headquarters is infested with an army of increasingly smaller Benders.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: This place is crawling with yous! ===<br />
<br />
Bender is unconcerned with the steadily increasing number of his clones, as this simply means "there are more Benders around", which he considers to be a good thing. However, the Professor displays a mathematical equation projecting the Benders' population growth, explaining that they will continue to replicate ''ad infinitum'', multiplying exponentially; because they need matter in order to replicate, they will eventually consume the entire planet. The Professor calculates that the Benders are currently in their eleventh generation, making 2,046 Bender duplicates that must be destroyed. The crew scour the Planet Express building, exterminating the tiny Benders like vermin, and are able to account for them all, but Amy realizes that one of the dead Benders is actually a doll, a piece of merchandise left over from [[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television|Bender's television career]]. Bender is not worried that a single duplicate managed to escape, believing it could do little harm, only for his couch to be eaten out from under him by a swarm of microscopic Benders, which appear as a "grey goo". The Professor laments that the Benders will eat all the matter on Earth, but when they also consume Bender's beer, Leela points out that all Benders, like the original, are powered by alcohol; they will exhaust the world's supply of booze long before they are able to destroy it.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, the Benders soon drink all the alcohol in the world, and with none left to replace it, they begin to die off. As the professor is bathing, however, he notices that his bath water has somehow been transformed into alcohol; the Benders, which have miniaturized to the atomic level, have begun rearranging water and carbon dioxide molecules into alcohol molecules in order to provide themselves with more fuel. Within hours, there will be no fresh water left on Earth.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: Big Bender starts right now! ===<br />
<br />
As a result of all the drinking water on the planet being converted into alcohol, everyone in the world becomes severely intoxicated. Shortly afterward, the alien giant arrives on Earth to apologize for his earlier attack on the Planet Express ship, but the drunken crew berate him with savage insults (a situation that does not improve when Zapp Brannigan begins firing on him from a tank). When the giant, struggling to control his temper, is unable to reach his therapist, he enters a rampage, and begins to destroy New New York. Fry pleads with Bender--who, as a robot, is the only member of the crew to remain sober--to stop the giant. The slothful Bender is reluctant, but when Fry offers to fold the Professor's shirts in exchange for Bender saving the world (which Bender computes as Fry performing two tasks against his one), Bender agrees, believing that he got the better end of the deal.<br />
<br />
Bender walks into the street and calls upon the assistance of his many microscopic duplicates, overcoming their inherent laziness by explaining that if they all cooperate to complete their single job, they will each only have to contribute one-quintillionth of the required effort. The numerous copies swarm around Bender, taking the form of a single, gigantic "Big Bender" who engages the giant in a fistfight. Bender initially has the upper hand, but after he insults the giant's mother, the giant begins to pummel him. The giant appears to have won, only for the Benders to swarm across him, devouring him until only dust remains. Exhilarated by his victory, Bender asks his copies to use their powers to help him defeat other "monsters", such as poverty, disease, and "unliteracy"; the Benders, however, are repulsed by the idea of having to do more work, and leave the planet in search of a place where they "won't have to do one-quintillionth of a thing all the time", leaving a battered, partially eaten Earth behind.<br />
<br />
The next morning, the Planet Express crew are all recovering from a collective hangover, although the Professor is in high spirits, as someone finally folded his sweaters. The crew were all too drunk to do this, prompting Fry to ask Bender if he finally learned a lesson about being lazy. Bender replies that maybe he did, but adds with a chuckle that perhaps he rescued one of the mini-Benders solely for the purpose of folding the sweaters for him. Bender exhales the smoke from his cigar toward the camera, revealing that it is not smoke at all, but a cloud of countless mini-Benders, all laughing maniacally.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
During May and June [[2011]], ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' released six items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of the unattractive giant monster (together with confirmation that he will be voiced by Patton Oswalt) on 9 May, a [[promotional picture]] featuring various copies of [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] on 10 May, part of [[Storyboard:Benderama|the storyboard]] showing the [[Planet Express crew]] prepare to deliver a package to the monster on 11 May, a promotional picture featuring three Benders riding a bicycle on 12 May, a promotional picture featuring a fight between a giant Bender and the monster on 13 May, and a video clip featuring the crew discussing the many Benders by the [[conference table]] on 15 June.<br />
<br />
On 21 June, ''{{w|Entertainment Weekly}}'' posted another video, this one featuring the monster destroying [[New New York]].<ref>[http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/06/21/patton-oswalt-futurama-video/ 'Futurama': A giant Patton Oswalt unleashes his wrath on New New York]</ref><br />

In it's original U.S. broadcast on 23 June, 2011, "Benderama" scored a 1.1 share among adults 18-49 and 2.47 million viewers.<ref>{{cite web |url =http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/06/24/thursday-cable-ratings-burn-notice-swamp-people-suits-nba-draft-wilfred-top-night-futurama-louie-more/96496/|title =Thursday Cable Ratings: Burn Notice, Swamp People, Suits, NBA Draft, Wilfred top Night + Futurama, Louie & More|author = Seidman, Robert|date = 2011-06-24||site = TVbytheNumbers.com|accessdate = 2011-06-25}}</ref><br />
<br />
In a preview of "[[Neutopia]]" and "Benderama", Katie Schenkel from ''CliqueClack TV'' commented that these two episodes "[weren't] [her] favourite".<ref name="cliqueclack-preview">{{cite web |url=http://cliqueclack.com/tv/2011/06/20/futurama-benderama-neutopia-preview/ |title=Futurama comes back … with a stumble |author=Schenkel, Katie |date=2011-06-20 |accessdate=2011-06-20 |publisher=CliqueClack TV}}</ref> Reflecting on "Benderama", Schenkel commented that the end of the episode had its own plot, after the main plot had been resolved, as if the main plot wasn't long enough,<ref name="cliqueclack-preview"/> in addition, Schenkel commented that she felt that the guest star, [[Patton Oswalt]] &ndash; while excellent in his performance &ndash; was given a throwaway role.<ref name="cliqueclack-preview"/> Of the two episodes, Schenkel preferred "Benderama" over "Neutopia".<ref name="cliqueclack-preview"/><br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* It is among the few [[one-word titled media]].<br />
* "Benderama" is one of only three [[season 6]] episodes to include the full [[opening sequence]], the other two being "[[Rebirth]]" and "[[That Darn Katz!]]". In the other episodes, the opening sequence is abridged and the opening cartoon is cut to save time.<br />
* The song played during the montage of the Planet Express crew killing all the Bender clones is "Rock and Roll Pest Control" by {{w|Young Fresh Fellows}}.<br />
* The formula that the professor shows is incorrect. The total mass of all of the Benders should be the sum of the number of Benders in each generation times the mass of each Bender in that generation. The number of Benders in each generation is twice the number of Benders in the previous generation, thus there are 2^n Benders in the nth generation. Mass changes as the cube of the scaling factor, thus each Bender weighs 0.6^3=21.6% of what its parent weighs. If we assume that the mass of the original Bender is M_0, then the mass of an nth generation Bender is M_0*0.216^n. Thus the mass of all of the Benders after an infinite number of generations is the sum of terms of the form 2^n*(M_0*0.216^n), where n goes from 0 to infinity. This series does converge.<br />
* This is the third time that ''Futurama'' gets away with almost dropping the S-bomb on the show. In ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'', Bender says, "No shklit." In "[[Lethal Inspection]]", a member of the sith is named [[Darth Ithead]], and in this episode, Morbo says that everyone is "tetty much protally fitshaced," a drunken spoonerism on "pretty much totally shitfaced".<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
<br />
[[file:The Scary Door 6ACV17.png|thumb|right|The ''[[The Scary Door]]'' episode resembles the "{{w|The Brain Center at Whipple's}}" episode of ''{{w|The Twilight Zone}}''.]]<br />
<br />
*The title is a pun of [[Bender]] and [[Futurama]].<br />
*[[The Scary Door narrator|''The Scary Door'' narrator]] says "A picture of yourself in a boat on a river", a play on the first line of {{w|The Beatles}}' song "{{w|Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds}}" - "Picture yourself in a boat on a river".<br />
** The plot of the Scary Door episode is somewhat similar to that of the ''{{w|The Twilight Zone|Twilight Zone}}'' episode "{{w|The Brain Center at Whipple's}}".<br />
*[[Banach-Tarski Dupla-Shrinker|The duplicator's]] name is a reference to the {{w|Banach–Tarski paradox}}.<br />
*Bender says, "Hi, I'm Bender, this is my robot Bender and this is my other robot Bender." This is a reference to the TV series ''{{w|Newhart}}'', specifically the character of Larry and his brothers Darryl, whom he always introduced, "Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl and this is my other brother Darryl."<br />
* Farnsworth asks Scruffy what the tiny Bender is doing in his soup. This is a play on an old vaudeville joke where a customer asks a waiter what a fly is doing in his soup, and the waiter usually replies, "The backstroke."<br />
* Farnsworth refers to the bathroom as "the situation room", most likely a reference to the {{w|CNN}} {{w|The Situation Room|program of the same name}}.<br />
*After 50 foot Bender falls and "dies", Fry falls to his knees and screams "no", similar to the vision in the [[What-If Machine]] from "[[Anthology of Interest I]]". The scene is a reference to ''{{w|King Kong}}''.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Braino bill.png|thumb|right|[[Braino]] appearing on the Earthican $30 bill.]]<br />
<br />
* A new episode of ''[[The Scary Door]]'' appears. ''The Scary Door'' was first seen in "[[A Head in the Polls]]".<br />
* [[Braino]], a respected genious and one of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor's]] idols, appears on the $30 bill. Braino previously appeared mentioned, on a bust and on a [[Vinci|Vincian]] statue in "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]".<br />
* When [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] shows the mathematical formula, showing how the Benders multiply, the only ones understanding it are [[Dr. Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]. Amy has studied advanced mathematics and physics at [[Mars University|university]], and became a doctor of applied physics in "[[That Darn Katz!]]". Hermes is a [[bureaucrat]] and is often seen calculating.<br />
*The [[fembot]] [[Ruth]], who previously appeared [[Ruth and Esther|alongside]] [[Esther|another fembot]] in "[[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular]]", appears in minimal size, tricking a small Bender into purchasing her promiscuous services, only to have him killed by a mousetrap. Seeing as "[[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular]]" in entirety was non-[[canon]], this is her first canon appearance.<br />
*Zoidberg correctly identified Hermes' genitalia, having previously thought it was his "tail" in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' and was his umbilical cord in "[[Rebirth]]".<br />
** He was drunk at the time though.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
<br />
[[file:Helicopter goof.jpg|thumb|right|The helicopter is missing on the TV.]]<br />
<br />
* Hermes' buttons disappear when he says the crew has to be respectful of the unattractive giant monster's appearance.<br />
* When [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] watches the [[unattractive giant monster]] destroy [[New New York]] on [[TV]] and he meanwhile is seen just outside the window, a helicopter visible outside is missing on the TV, in spite of the exact same angle.<br />
* The number of [[Benders]] is incorrect near the beginning. 2*2(4)*2(8)*2(16)*2(32)*2(64)*2(128)*2(256)*2(512)*2(1024)*2 or 2^11 = 2048, not 2046, as [[Farnsworth]] said. Also, when the Professor says there is 11 generations of Benders, he would be wrong if he was including the original, which would make sense considering he shot him when he asked if he was included.<br />
**This is not a goof, the correct calculation is 2^1+2^2+2^3+2^4+2^5+2^6+2^7+2^8+2^9+2^10=2046, which excludes the original Bender (2^0) who was only shot due to the smaller Bender within him.<!--Move to trivia when active show edit swarm dies back a bit--><br />

<br />
'''Owls''' are a species of birds, and an extremely disliked [[pest]] in [[New New York]]. They are also sometimes domesticated and used to scare of or attack trespassers.<br />
<br />
== Biology ==<br />
<br />
It is not known if the owls seen in the [[31st century]] are the same species of owls that are known in the [[21st century]], or if they are an [[alien]] species or the result of some experiment. They seem to be much less shy towards [[humans]] compared to their counterpart in our time, much like 21st century [[pigeons]].<br />
<br />
According to [[Walt]], owls lay [[Anti-backwards crystal|dodecahedral]] eggs which hatch into Owl larvae, but he probably made that up.<br />
<br />
== Pest problem ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Owls.jpg|thumb|left|220px|thumb|Owls feeding.]]<br />
<br />
The owl was at some time introduced to [[New New York]] to wipe out rats and pigeons. While the owls proved largely successful, they themselves replaced both species as the most prevalent pests in [[New New York]]. Owls are still capable of flight but feed on trash and have been seen exiting holes in walls, suggesting they live there.<br />
<br />
[[file:BG owl extermination.jpg|thumb|right|[[Igner]] planning to exterminate an owl.]]<br />
<br />
=== Eradication ===<br />
<br />
Owls are usually caught in owl traps, such as "DEF-CON Owl Traps", the operation of which sounds much like a 21st century mouse or rat trap. They occasionally also get caught in spider webs. [[Walt, Larry and Igner]] posed as "Smother Bros. Pest Control" who are exterminators, deal with disposing of owls and a variety of other pests.<br />
<br />
== Additional information ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* In the non-[[canon]] {{w|anime}} sequence of "[[Reincarnation]]", multiple owls circle the [[Planet Express headquarters]].<br />
* Owls appear in the first level of [[Futurama (video game)|the ''Futurama'' game]], standing on top of cameras at the headquarters.<br />

In the 20<sup>th</sup> and early 21<sup>st</sup> century (The [[Stupid Ages]]), '''Old New York''' was known as simply New York. It was one of the biggest cities in the world and produced more garbage than any other city. In [[Timeline of Futurama|2002]] the city put its Garbage on a giant barge. 50 years later the garbage ball was launched into space.<br />

It is located in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, as evidenced by the Newkirk Avenue Subway Station where Fry, Leela, and Bender arrive at. The group use Bender as a form of transport to get there, with Bender dubbing himself 'The B Train'. Ironically, the B train is an actual subway line that serves the actual Newkirk Avenue Station.<br />

==First appearance?==<br />
Someone changed the first appearance from LLLiS to SP3k. I know his shadow is in that, but does it really count? Which is his first appearance?<br />
:I don't think the shadow counts so I'm voting for LLLiS [[User:Humerbot 0.4|Humerbot 0.4]] 13:47, 9 January 2007 (PST)<br />
::I don't know, probably should be the actual appearence that counts, not the foreshadowing. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 03:51, 10 January 2007 (PST)<br />
::: As far as i remember Nibbler's shadow can NOT be seen in SP3K. It was added in a later episode, but I don't remember which was the first episode to review Fry's falling into the tube. Look at it again. I'm pretty damn sure about this!<br />

== Escaping the universe. ==<br />
<br />
Has he been eliminated from the show by doing this? DXC told us on the BWaBB commentary that Bender's Game will teach us more about Dark Matter, but I really don't see this involving Nibbler. Of course it can't be confirmed until he's mentioned, but isn't his absence worth talking about in the article?<small>-- the preceding unsigned comment was written by [[User:Mini-Me|Mini-Me]]{{#if:12:00, 27 June 2008 (BST)|&nbsp;before 12:00, 27 June 2008 (BST)|}}.</small><br />
:Yeah, there isn't much there about it. I just added a little. If Bender's Game is, to an extent, about Dark Matter, there's certainly a chance of Nibblonian involvement. All we know is that he's not in the universe any more, and BG seems to be outside the normal universe. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 12:00, 27 June 2008 (BST)<br />
::Hm, good point. I know IMDb isn't too reliable when it comes to credited cast members before the release, but Frank Welker (who was not in BWaBB at all) is listed for Bender's Game and Into the Wild Green Yonder playing Nibbler and other [animal] voices. -[[User:Mini-Me|Mini-Me]] 12:36, 27 June 2008 (BST)<br />
:::I don't think the writers have ditched Nibbler for good. I think they have something up their sleeves. It just seemed fitting that he wasn't in BWaBB (and neither were his species, despite we getting to see a lot of alien species). --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 13:31, 27 June 2008 (BST)<br />

== Server problems? ==<br />
<br />
i was trying to add his appearances in 'bender's game' and 'into the wild green yonder' and i came up with this.<br />
<br />
from here:[http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Nibbler&action=submit]<br />
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /var/www/theinfosphere.org/website/includes/StringUtils.php on line 276<br />
<br />
what's happening?<small>-- the preceding unsigned comment was written by [[User:Scruffy|Scruffy]]{{#if:{{{2|}}}|&nbsp;before {{{2}}}|}}.</small><br />
:I am not sure, but generally, if such an issue happens, I'd suggest try again. The server may be busy elsewhere. If it persists, then you should alert us. I tried myself, while it was a bit slow, it eventually succeeded. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 23:07, 4 July 2008 (BST)<br />
::That's the problem I had while trying to add info as well. Only a few times in the last week or two, but today I can't even get three or four lines of a transcript up. I've tried tons of time and haven't gained much progress. If I'm not mistaken, this happened on the old server too. -[[User:Mini-Me|Mini-Me]] 00:06, 5 July 2008 (BST)<br />

== Into the Wild Green Yonder? ==<br />
<br />
I never saw [[Nibbler|the little guy]] in Into the Wild Green Yonder, unless I'm blind. Am I completely insane or is this an error? [[User:Chris of the Futurama2|Chris of the Futurama2]] 00:50, 6 March 2009 (UTC)<br />
:I would say neither. Though it is odd, given the ending of the previous film. It would make more than sense to have him appear in the film. But I didn't see him either. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 01:18, 6 March 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Oh wait, I clearly forgot, [http://futurama-madhouse.com.ar/forum/index.php?topic=3172.0 a topic at the Madhouse] discussed this very issue. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|Talk]]</sup> 01:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)<br />

== Lord Nibbler ==<br />
<br />
I think we should go by the article name "Lord Nibbler" instead of just Nibbler, seeing as this is in actuality his full name (with title). This is the more encyclopaedic way to go with it, compare to Wikipedia's {{w|Lord Byron}}. What say you? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 18:44, 12 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I find myself conflicted. On the one hand, I think this makes sense. But on the other, [[Talk:Amy Wong|I didn't think we needed to change]] "[[Amy Wong]]" to "Dr. Amy Wong" because she has only once been called "Dr. Wong" once. But on the third, mutant-esque hand, Zoidberg has "[[Dr. John A. Zoidberg]]" and Farnsworth has "[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]]", and Zoidberg has been called "John" maybe once(?), so it makes sense for anyone with an earned title to have their full name in their article. So my convoluted, roundabout conclusion is that titles should probably be added to the headers. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 19:37, 12 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

== Spotlight discussion ==<br />
<br />
I am wondering if personality should not be under character description? It seems rather odd that personality, which is currently a rather short section has its own above biography and outside of character description. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 16:51, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I agree that personality should be part of the character description. Aki's the one who [http://www.theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=Lord_Nibbler&diff=next&oldid=90484 put] the section there, so ask him. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 18:20, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::I went ahead and moved it. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 18:34, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::Before I go crazy and edit every single character page I can find, is having personality as part of the character description section going to be standard? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 18:43, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, a personality section is in the [[:Template:CharacterArticleTemplate|character article template]], which I didn't even know existed until now. I guess it would make sense to have one for the major primary and secondary characters, but most of the minor characters who we learn little about can do without one. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 18:57, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::Done. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 20:18, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:This was attempted to be discussed [[Table:Character standards|here]], where the [[:Template:CharacterArticleTemplate|character article template]] also was mentioned. I personally believe the standard as per that template is the best way to have it, as the personality should be seen right away, and is really small compared to the biography section. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 20:34, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::So... what just happened was that [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] thought it best to ignore everyone else's opinion as well as the standard as discussed under the conference table... and just change all primary articles anyway? Could you please change them all back, or at least try discussing it before doing it? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 20:43, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I thought our discussion was about the inconsistencies in ordering rather that the ordering itself. In my defense, I was just following up on what Deep had already started. I will undo those changes if that is what people want. Maybe we should point Svip over to the specific table so that he can get a sense of what was discussed? It might change his mind or at least reopen the discussion. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 20:45, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::No, I was not saying there should be a specific standard of where to put the personality section. If it is too small, put it in character description, if it is big, let it stand alone. Sometimes it is also about feel and winging it. I reverted ''some'' of ToH's changes. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:51, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::There is a reason I discussed this on THIS talk page, because I wasn't talking about a standard, I was talking about what might be a good idea for THIS page. Had I been talking standards, I would have went to the conference table. I know how this wiki works. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 20:53, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::: I didn't mean to imply that you didn't know how the infosphere worked, it was more that I didn't know if you were aware of the discussion that took place. That, plus my misinterpreting what you were saying Svip, caused this problem. I've reverted my edits. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 21:07, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::: I didn't mean to be hostile or anything. I was just sayin'. It's just that I am not a big fan of small sections when next to big sections if they are on the same level. Sometimes nothing can be done about it, such as a Production section, because it doesn't fit under any other section. But you could argue how a Personality section could ''at times'' fit under a Character description section. Take an article like [[Lrrr]], its personality section is far bigger than its biography section, because Lrrr's personality is so far more important than what he has done. While we should and ''do'' have standards, some articles require us to go beyond them and even contradict them, because its content requires us to.<br />

Wouldn't it be cool having an article every week or fortnight with a Main Page spotlight? Taking a random, okay article and push people to try to make it perfect? Best case scenario, it's standard to have that article be [[I:FA|featured]] a few weeks later. What say you? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 15:16, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Wikipedia has a number of collaborations where an article is nominated and the community works to improve it. I can't see why we couldn't do one per week. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:37, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

::[[Infosphere:Spotlight]] article now exists. As a first article I choose [[Lord Nibbler]], because I have been trying to make it perfect myself for the past few days. So, well, basically, it has a chance of being awesome by the end of the week, which would make up for a great start. :) Any suggestions of future spotlight articles? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 19:31, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::How about [[Calculon]]? It could use some refinement seeing as the quotes section is a lot longer than like, the rest of the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 19:37, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Ah, yes, the Calculon article would certainly need some work. Approved! Any more suggestions now that we're on it?<br />

'''Lord Nibbler''' is a member of a proud and ancient race, the [[Nibblonians]]. Born [[274 AD]], he is old and wise, and with a high status in the Nibblonian world, yet he prefers to be [[Turanga Leela]]'s pet, and a member of the [[Planet Express crew]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler hides.png|thumb|left|Nibbler hides before pushing Fry into the tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]] {{et|4ACV10}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was responsible for pushing [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] into the [[Applied Cryogenics|cryogenic tube]] and sending him to the year [[3000]]. Nibbler was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] until [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] discovered him there and instantly fell for his cuteness. He is the Nibblonian Ambassador on [[Earth]] and has [[That Darn Katz!|recently]] become a member of the [[Planet Express]] crew.<br />
<br />
=== Stationed on Vergon 6 ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler first.png|thumb|Nibbler's first appearance, meeting [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] on [[Vergon 6]] {{et|1ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was born on [[Planet Eternium]] in [[274 AD]], making him almost 3300 years old, one of the oldest characters in [[Futurama|the series]]. Not much is known of Nibbler's biography before New Years' Eve, [[1999]], at which time he was stationed at the planet [[Vergon 6]] alongside a great number of his species.<ref>Nibbler mentions that he was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] in his conversation with Fry at Applied Cryogenics on 31 December, 1999 in "[[The Why of Fry]]".</ref> At this time, the [[Nibblonians]] had learned that [[Philip J. Fry]] was "the Mighty One", the only being in [[Universe Γ|the universe]] capable of stopping the [[Brain Spawn]] [[3002|over a thousand years later]]. However, because Fry lived in the [[20th century]], Nibbler got the mission to make sure that he fell into the cryogenic tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]], frozen until the year [[3000]].<br />
<br />
Nibbler continued to be stationed on [[Vergon 6]] for the next thousand years, but due to [[Dark Matter]] being the excrement of the Nibblonians, the planet's core was slowly filled with the valuable Dark Matter. As a result, a [[DOOP]] mining operation started, and as the core was mined out, the planet was left hollow and as a consequence dangerously sensitive for a coming implosion. The Nibblonians soon fled the planet, but Nibbler was pooping at the time, and was thus left behind.<br />
<br />
=== Hiding his intelligence ===<br />
<br />
On 13 April, [[3000]], the [[Planet Express crew]] - [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] - landed on Vergon 6 to rescue the animals left from the coming implosion of the planet. They encountered Nibbler (who ate the rest of the animals), and fled moments before the planet's doom. Nibbler hid his real identity and intelligence from the crew, and indeed from all non-Nibblonians he would encounter, and pretended to just be a dumb pet. Leela took Nibbler in, in the belief that he was dog-like in intelligence, and made him her pet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lord Nibbler.jpg|thumb|left|Nibbler in his formal, [[Nibblonian]] clothing {{et|3ACV07}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler hid his intelligence until [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|the day the Earth stood stupid]], when he told Leela the truth about his orgins. This eventually helped Fry defeat the [[Brain Spawn]], an enemy to the Nibblonians. After this, he erased Leela's memory in order to keep everything in secret. While Fry's memories were not erased, no-one believed his story, and with time he forgot it. [[The Why of Fry|Later]], Nibbler got Fry into the game, as he led him through time to destroy the [[Infosphere]]. He then deleted Fry's memory as well, so that he could fulfil his purpose undetected.<br />
<br />
=== Revealed to the Crew ===<br />
<br />
In [[3007]], he finally [[Bender's Big Score|revealed]] his true nature to the whole crew during a failed attempt to avert disaster and on seeing the formation of a dangerous [[Anomaly|tear in the time-space continuum]]. Nibbler escaped the universe by swallowing himself, forgetting to blank everyone's memories. He returned in 3008, after [[Yivo]] was gone. It is unknown how he managed to get back to [[Universe Gamma|our universe]]. Nibbler was kidnapped by [[Mom's sons]] and imprisoned in a dark matter farm with hundreds of other Nibblonians. After this, he once again didn't wipe their memories. Despite everybody knowing that he was sentient, the Planet Express crew continued to treat him like a pet... until August of [[3010]], when he was [[That Darn Katz!|granted]] the status of crew member.<br />

[[File:Nibbler in his real naval uniform.jpg|thumb|right|Nibbler in his [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] {{et|6ACV08}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Appearance and clothing ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has (like other [[Nibblonians]]) three eyes, one of which is on an "eye stalk", a single nostril, and fang-like teeth. He is knee-tall compared to [[humans]], and mostly covered in fur.<br />
<br />
While at the [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]], he always wears a red cape, small yellow shoes and baby diapers. When accompanied by other Nibblonians and on missions, however, he is much more formally dressed. He also has a [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] which he dresses up in on occasion, and in which [[Nibbler's best friend|his best friend]] for some reason died.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
<br />
As Nibbler remarks in "[[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]]", his true name is not really Nibbler - that was just the name that Leela gave him when first finding him {{et|1ACV04}}. The other Nibblonians uses this name as well, however, when speaking in English, because his true name would take too long to pronounce properly, or so he claims.<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler Birthday.jpg|thumb|Nibbler's supposed fifth birthday {{et|2ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
As shown in "[[The Why of Fry]]", Nibbler was already an adult with no apparent physical changes in [[1999]] as compared to the [[31st century]]. In the same episode, he tells Fry that his species "live long". As a bonus to the [[Volume Two]] DVD, Nibbler's birth year was revealed to be [[274 AD]], making him over 3 000 years old.<br />
<br />
When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]", [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|the veterinarian]] told Leela that the rings on his tooth could indicate his age ("if he's anything like the common tree"). Taking his word for granted, this had Leela assume that Nibbler was five years for a while.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has no known direct family, although [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] could be seen as his adoptive mother, or owner.<br />
<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
<br />
While on the surface pretending to be a cuddly pet - long even disguising his intelligence entirely - Nibbler is highly intelligent and sophisticated. He enjoys being [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] "schnuchoms", but sometimes long for intelligent conversation and approval in the [[humans|human]] world.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Nibbler was planned before the pilot, including that he would really be a talking, intelligent alien, and that he would hold the truth of the greater conspiracy that had Fry frozen. While everything wasn't planned out from the beginning, the writers included [[Nibbler's shadow]] for a short second as Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", in spite of Nibbler's first real appearance being [[Love's Labours Lost in Space|several episodes later]], and in spite of the bigger conspiracy starting to unveil [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|several seasons later]].<br />
<br />
His original appearance was hard to pin-point. [[Matt Groening]] insisted that he was supposed to be extremely cute, but that when looking at his separate components - his eye stock, his one nostril, his fangs - he seems really ugly. In one original design of Nibbler, he would have drool constantly hanging from his nostril, but without ever dripping.<ref>"[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" [[Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|commentaries]]: "In designing Nibbler I went– I wanted to do– I wanted to see if I could make a character that was really ugly when you looked at the components, he's got one nostril, he's got fangs and an eye ball on a stock on the top of his head. And yet he is really– pretty cute, huh?" - [[Matt Groening]] ([[Transcript:Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|transcript]])</ref><br />
<br />
As of "[[That Darn Katz!]]", Nibbler and [[Scruffy]] are the only members of the [[Planet Express crew]] who are not [[List of primary characters|primary characters]].<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]" (when he chewed at [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] butt), it was replaced by a tooth of belonging to [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|a veterinarian]].<br />
*If you look closely, you can see [[Nibbler's shadow]] under the chair when Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />
**In "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", when Fry misses the freezer by an inch in the alternate future the [[What-If Machine]] shows, Nibbler's shadow is gone, though this may be why Fry doesn't go to the future in that separate version of the [[timeline]].<br />
**However, in "[[The Why of Fry]]", when Fry tries to cross Nibbler and eventually decides to let himself be sent to the future after all, there are two shadows under the desk - those of Nibbler and Fry (seen earlier in "[[Jurassic Bark]]").<br />
*[[Nibbler's spaceship]], parked inside a container near the [[Planet Express headquarters]], is just big enough to accept him and an adult human - if Nibbler scootches up his seat, that is.<br />
*The [[dark matter]] he excretes was used to fuel the [[Planet Express ship]], before the events of "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*He comes in the [[Toynami Futurama Figures|Toynami action figure line]] as an one of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]]'s accessories.<br />
*It is unknown if Nibbler was present in [[Universe Gamma]] during the events of [[The Beast with a Billion Backs|the second movie]], as he fled it by the end of [[Bender's Big Score|the first one]].<br />

'''Lord Nibbler''' is a member of a proud and ancient race, the [[Nibblonians]]. Born [[274 AD]], he is old and wise, and with a high status in the Nibblonian world, yet he prefers to be [[Turanga Leela]]'s pet, and a member of the [[Planet Express crew]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler hides.png|thumb|left|Nibbler hides before pushing Fry into the tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]] {{et|4ACV10}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was responsible for pushing [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] into the [[Applied Cryogenics|cryogenic tube]] and sending him to the year [[3000]]. Nibbler was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] until [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] discovered him there and instantly fell for his cuteness. He is the Nibblonian Ambassador on [[Earth]] and has [[That Darn Katz!|recently]] become a member of the [[Planet Express]] crew.<br />
<br />
=== Stationed on Vergon 6 ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler first.png|thumb|Nibbler's first appearance, meeting [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] on [[Vergon 6]] {{et|1ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was born on [[Planet Eternium]] in [[274 AD]], making him almost 3300 years old, one of the oldest characters in [[Futurama|the series]]. Not much is known of Nibbler's biography before New Years' Eve, [[1999]], at which time he was stationed at the planet [[Vergon 6]] alongside a great number of his species.<ref>Nibbler mentions that he was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] in his conversation with Fry at Applied Cryogenics on 31 December, 1999 in "[[The Why of Fry]]".</ref> At this time, the [[Nibblonians]] had learned that [[Philip J. Fry]] was "the Mighty One", the only being in [[Universe Γ|the universe]] capable of stopping the [[Brain Spawn]] [[3002|over a thousand years later]]. However, because Fry lived in the [[20th century]], Nibbler got the mission to make sure that he fell into the cryogenic tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]], frozen until the year [[3000]].<br />
<br />
Nibbler continued to be stationed on [[Vergon 6]] for the next thousand years, but due to [[Dark Matter]] being the excrement of the Nibblonians, the planet's core was slowly filled with the valuable Dark Matter. As a result, a [[DOOP]] mining operation started, and as the core was mined out, the planet was left hollow and as a consequence dangerously sensitive for a coming implosion. The Nibblonians soon fled the planet, but Nibbler was pooping at the time, and was thus left behind.<br />
<br />
=== Hiding his intelligence ===<br />
<br />
On 13 April, [[3000]], the [[Planet Express crew]] - [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] - landed on Vergon 6 to rescue the animals left from the coming implosion of the planet. They encountered Nibbler (who ate the rest of the animals), and fled moments before the planet's doom. Nibbler hid his real identity and intelligence from the crew, and indeed from all non-Nibblonians he would encounter, and pretended to just be a dumb pet. Leela took Nibbler in, in the belief that he was dog-like in intelligence, and made him her pet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lord Nibbler.jpg|thumb|left|Nibbler in his formal, [[Nibblonian]] clothing {{et|3ACV07}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler hid his intelligence until [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|the day the Earth stood stupid]], when he told Leela the truth about his orgins. This eventually helped Fry defeat the [[Brain Spawn]], an enemy to the Nibblonians. After this, he erased Leela's memory in order to keep everything in secret. While Fry's memories were not erased, no-one believed his story, and with time he forgot it. [[The Why of Fry|Later]], Nibbler got Fry into the game, as he led him through time to destroy the [[Infosphere]]. He then deleted Fry's memory as well, so that he could fulfil his purpose undetected.<br />
<br />
=== Revealed to the Crew ===<br />
<br />
In [[3007]], he finally [[Bender's Big Score|revealed]] his true nature to the whole crew during a failed attempt to avert disaster and on seeing the formation of a dangerous [[Anomaly|tear in the time-space continuum]]. Nibbler escaped the universe by swallowing himself, forgetting to blank everyone's memories. He returned in 3008, after [[Yivo]] was gone. It is unknown how he managed to get back to [[Universe Gamma|our universe]]. Nibbler was kidnapped by [[Mom's sons]] and imprisoned in a dark matter farm with hundreds of other Nibblonians. After this, he once again didn't wipe their memories. Despite everybody knowing that he was sentient, the Planet Express crew continued to treat him like a pet... until August of [[3010]], when he was [[That Darn Katz!|granted]] the status of crew member.<br />

[[File:Nibbler hides.png|thumb|left|Nibbler hides before pushing Fry into the tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]] {{et|4ACV10}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was responsible for pushing [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] into the [[Applied Cryogenics|cryogenic tube]] and sending him to the year [[3000]]. Nibbler was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] until [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] discovered him there and instantly fell for his cuteness. He is the Nibblonian Ambassador on [[Earth]] and has [[That Darn Katz!|recently]] become a member of the [[Planet Express]] crew.<br />
<br />
=== Stationed on Vergon 6 ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler first.png|thumb|Nibbler's first appearance, meeting [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] on [[Vergon 6]] {{et|1ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was born on [[Planet Eternium]] in [[274 AD]], making him almost 3300 years old, one of the oldest characters in [[Futurama|the series]]. Not much is known of Nibbler's biography before New Years' Eve, [[1999]], at which time he was stationed at the planet [[Vergon 6]] alongside a great number of his species.<ref>Nibbler mentions that he was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] in his conversation with Fry at Applied Cryogenics on 31 December, 1999 in "[[The Why of Fry]]".</ref> At this time, the [[Nibblonians]] had learned that [[Philip J. Fry]] was "the Mighty One", the only being in [[Universe Γ|the universe]] capable of stopping the [[Brain Spawn]] [[3002|over a thousand years later]]. However, because Fry lived in the [[20th century]], Nibbler got the mission to make sure that he fell into the cryogenic tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]], frozen until the year [[3000]].<br />
<br />
Nibbler continued to be stationed on [[Vergon 6]] for the next thousand years, but due to [[Dark Matter]] being the excrement of the Nibblonians, the planet's core was slowly filled with the valuable Dark Matter. As a result, a [[DOOP]] mining operation started, and as the core was mined out, the planet was left hollow and as a consequence dangerously sensitive for a coming implosion. The Nibblonians soon fled the planet, but Nibbler was pooping at the time, and was thus left behind.<br />
<br />
=== Hiding his intelligence ===<br />
<br />
On 13 April, [[3000]], the [[Planet Express crew]] - [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] - landed on Vergon 6 to rescue the animals left from the coming implosion of the planet. They encountered Nibbler (who ate the rest of the animals), and fled moments before the planet's doom. Nibbler hid his real identity and intelligence from the crew, and indeed from all non-Nibblonians he would encounter, and pretended to just be a dumb pet. Leela took Nibbler in, in the belief that he was dog-like in intelligence, and made him her pet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lord Nibbler.jpg|thumb|left|Nibbler in his formal, [[Nibblonian]] clothing {{et|3ACV07}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler hid his intelligence until [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|the day the Earth stood stupid]], when he told Leela the truth about his orgins. This eventually helped Fry defeat the [[Brain Spawn]], an enemy to the Nibblonians. After this, he erased Leela's memory in order to keep everything in secret. While Fry's memories were not erased, no-one believed his story, and with time he forgot it. [[The Why of Fry|Later]], Nibbler got Fry into the game, as he led him through time to destroy the [[Infosphere]]. He then deleted Fry's memory as well, so that he could fulfil his purpose undetected.<br />
<br />
=== Revealed to the Crew ===<br />
<br />
In [[3007]], he finally [[Bender's Big Score|revealed]] his true nature to the whole crew during a failed attempt to avert disaster and on seeing the formation of a dangerous [[Anomaly|tear in the time-space continuum]]. Nibbler escaped the universe by swallowing himself, forgetting to blank everyone's memories. He returned in 3008, after [[Yivo]] was gone. It is unknown how he managed to get back to [[Universe Gamma|our universe]]. Nibbler was kidnapped by [[Mom's sons]] and imprisoned in a dark matter farm with hundreds of other Nibblonians. After this, he once again didn't wipe their memories. Despite everybody knowing that he was sentient, the Planet Express crew continued to treat him like a pet... until August of [[3010]], when he was [[That Darn Katz!|granted]] the status of crew member.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler in his real naval uniform.jpg|thumb|right|Nibbler in his [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] {{et|6ACV08}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Appearance and clothing ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has (like other [[Nibblonians]]) three eyes, one of which is on an "eye stalk", a single nostril, and fang-like teeth. He is knee-tall compared to [[humans]], and mostly covered in fur.<br />
<br />
While at the [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]], he always wears a red cape, small yellow shoes and baby diapers. When accompanied by other Nibblonians and on missions, however, he is much more formally dressed. He also has a [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] which he dresses up in on occasion, and in which [[Nibbler's best friend|his best friend]] for some reason died.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
<br />
As Nibbler remarks in "[[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]]", his true name is not really Nibbler - that was just the name that Leela gave him when first finding him {{et|1ACV04}}. The other Nibblonians uses this name as well, however, when speaking in English, because his true name would take too long to pronounce properly, or so he claims.<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler Birthday.jpg|thumb|Nibbler's supposed fifth birthday {{et|2ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
As shown in "[[The Why of Fry]]", Nibbler was already an adult with no apparent physical changes in [[1999]] as compared to the [[31st century]]. In the same episode, he tells Fry that his species "live long". As a bonus to the [[Volume Two]] DVD, Nibbler's birth year was revealed to be [[274 AD]], making him over 3 000 years old.<br />
<br />
When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]", [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|the veterinarian]] told Leela that the rings on his tooth could indicate his age ("if he's anything like the common tree"). Taking his word for granted, this had Leela assume that Nibbler was five years for a while.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has no known direct family, although [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] could be seen as his adoptive mother, or owner.<br />
<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
<br />
While on the surface pretending to be a cuddly pet - long even disguising his intelligence entirely - Nibbler is highly intelligent and sophisticated. He enjoys being [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] "schnuchoms", but sometimes long for intelligent conversation and approval in the [[humans|human]] world.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Nibbler was planned before the pilot, including that he would really be a talking, intelligent alien, and that he would hold the truth of the greater conspiracy that had Fry frozen. While everything wasn't planned out from the beginning, the writers included [[Nibbler's shadow]] for a short second as Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", in spite of Nibbler's first real appearance being [[Love's Labours Lost in Space|several episodes later]], and in spite of the bigger conspiracy starting to unveil [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|several seasons later]].<br />
<br />
His original appearance was hard to pin-point. [[Matt Groening]] insisted that he was supposed to be extremely cute, but that when looking at his separate components - his eye stock, his one nostril, his fangs - he seems really ugly. In one original design of Nibbler, he would have drool constantly hanging from his nostril, but without ever dripping.<ref>"[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" [[Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|commentaries]]: "In designing Nibbler I went– I wanted to do– I wanted to see if I could make a character that was really ugly when you looked at the components, he's got one nostril, he's got fangs and an eye ball on a stock on the top of his head. And yet he is really– pretty cute, huh?" - [[Matt Groening]] ([[Transcript:Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|transcript]])</ref><br />
<br />
As of "[[That Darn Katz!]]", Nibbler and [[Scruffy]] are the only member of the [[Planet Express crew]] to not be a primary character.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]" (when he chewed at [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] butt), it was replaced by a tooth of belonging to [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|a veterinarian]].<br />
*If you look closely, you can see [[Nibbler's shadow]] under the chair when Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />
**In "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", when Fry misses the freezer by an inch in the alternate future the [[What-If Machine]] shows, Nibbler's shadow is gone, though this may be why Fry doesn't go to the future in that separate version of the [[timeline]].<br />
**However, in "[[The Why of Fry]]", when Fry tries to cross Nibbler and eventually decides to let himself be sent to the future after all, there are two shadows under the desk - those of Nibbler and Fry (seen earlier in "[[Jurassic Bark]]").<br />
*[[Nibbler's spaceship]], parked inside a container near the [[Planet Express headquarters]], is just big enough to accept him and an adult human - if Nibbler scootches up his seat, that is.<br />
*The [[dark matter]] he excretes was used to fuel the [[Planet Express ship]], before the events of "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*He comes in the [[Toynami Futurama Figures|Toynami action figure line]] as an one of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]]'s accessories.<br />
*It is unknown if Nibbler was present in [[Universe Gamma]] during the events of [[The Beast with a Billion Backs|the second movie]], as he fled it by the end of [[Bender's Big Score|the first one]].<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
Wouldn't it be cool having an article every week or fortnight with a Main Page spotlight? Taking a random, okay article and push people to try to make it perfect? Best case scenario, it's standard to have that article be [[I:FA|featured]] a few weeks later. What say you? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 15:16, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Wikipedia has a number of collaborations where an article is nominated and the community works to improve it. I can't see why we couldn't do one per week. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 15:37, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Agreed. <joe>LET'S DO IT!!!</joe> - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 19:01, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::[[Infosphere:Spotlight]] article now exists. As a first article I choose [[Lord Nibbler]], because I have been trying to make it perfect myself for the past few days. So, well, basically, it has a chance of being awesome by the end of the week, which would make up for a great start. :) Any suggestions of future spotlight articles? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 19:31, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::How about [[Calculon]]? It could use some refinement seeing as the quotes section is a lot longer than like, the rest of the article. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 19:37, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Ah, yes, the Calculon article would certainly need some work. Approved! Any more suggestions now that we're on it?<br />
::::Btw, I made [[:template:Spotlight|a template]] to have on the top of the current spotlight article. Check the top of ''[[Lord Nibbler]]''. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 19:41, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::What about ''[[Dwight Conrad]]''? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 19:55, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::That's a good one. I'll nominate [[Hutch Waterfall]]. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 19:57, 15 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::::Ah, good one. I didn't realise it was so small an article. Added. Now we're stored up until week 28! - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 20:00, 15 June 2011 (CEST<br />
::::::::What about [[Cornwood]]? It's the only article remaining on the potential candidates list. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 01:41, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::::::Added. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 02:25, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:This is a great idea! This way, we can nominate pages that are out of date or stubby, and they can become awesome! --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 00:15, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Yay! People agree with me! - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 01:24, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
What about [[URL]]? It's really small and messy, and it would be nice to have it clean before the release of "[[Law and Oracle]]". - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 16:07, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

::[[Leela]]'s article. While not short, it is underdeveloped for a major character. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 19:21, 16 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

So how are people supposed to know which article has a spotlight? Is there supposed to be something on the main page that hasn't been implemented yet or am I just missing something?

'''Lord Nibbler''' is a member of a proud and ancient race, the [[Nibblonians]]. Born [[274 AD]], he is old and wise, and with a high status in the Nibblonian world, yet he prefers to be [[Turanga Leela]]'s pet, and a member of the [[Planet Express crew]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler hides.png|thumb|left|Nibbler hides before pushing Fry into the tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]] {{et|4ACV10}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was responsible for pushing [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] into the [[Applied Cryogenics|cryogenic tube]] and sending him to the year [[3000]]. Nibbler was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] until [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] discovered him there and instantly fell for his cuteness. He is the Nibblonian Ambassador on [[Earth]] and has [[That Darn Katz!|recently]] become a member of the [[Planet Express]] crew.<br />
<br />
=== Stationed on Vergon 6 ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler first.png|thumb|Nibbler's first appearance, meeting [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] on [[Vergon 6]] {{et|1ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was born on [[Planet Eternium]] in [[274 AD]], making him almost 3300 years old, one of the oldest characters in [[Futurama|the series]]. Not much is known of Nibbler's biography before New Years' Eve, [[1999]], at which time he was stationed at the planet [[Vergon 6]] alongside a great number of his species.<ref>Nibbler mentions that he was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] in his conversation with Fry at Applied Cryogenics on 31 December, 1999 in "[[The Why of Fry]]".</ref> At this time, the [[Nibblonians]] had learned that [[Philip J. Fry]] was "the Mighty One", the only being in [[Universe Γ|the universe]] capable of stopping the [[Brain Spawn]] [[3002|over a thousand years later]]. However, because Fry lived in the [[20th century]], Nibbler got the mission to make sure that he fell into the cryogenic tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]], frozen until the year [[3000]].<br />
<br />
Nibbler continued to be stationed on [[Vergon 6]] for the next thousand years, but due to [[Dark Matter]] being the excrement of the Nibblonians, the planet's core was slowly filled with the valuable Dark Matter. As a result, a [[DOOP]] mining operation started, and as the core was mined out, the planet was left hollow and as a consequence dangerously sensitive for a coming implosion. The Nibblonians soon fled the planet, but Nibbler was pooping at the time, and was thus left behind.<br />
<br />
=== Hiding his intelligence ===<br />
<br />
On 13 April, [[3000]], the [[Planet Express crew]] - [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] - landed on Vergon 6 to rescue the animals left from the coming implosion of the planet. They encountered Nibbler (who ate the rest of the animals), and fled moments before the planet's doom. Nibbler hid his real identity and intelligence from the crew, and indeed from all non-Nibblonians he would encounter, and pretended to just be a dumb pet. Leela took Nibbler in, in the belief that he was dog-like in intelligence, and made him her pet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lord Nibbler.jpg|thumb|left|Nibbler in his formal, [[Nibblonian]] clothing {{et|3ACV07}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler hid his intelligence until [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|the day the Earth stood stupid]], when he told Leela the truth about his orgins. This eventually helped Fry defeat the [[Brain Spawn]], an enemy to the Nibblonians. After this, he erased Leela's memory in order to keep everything in secret. While Fry's memories were not erased, no-one believed his story, and with time he forgot it. [[The Why of Fry|Later]], Nibbler got Fry into the game, as he led him through time to destroy the [[Infosphere]]. He then deleted Fry's memory as well, so that he could fulfil his purpose undetected.<br />
<br />
=== Revealed to the Crew ===<br />
<br />
In [[3007]], he finally [[Bender's Big Score|revealed]] his true nature to the whole crew during a failed attempt to avert disaster and on seeing the formation of a dangerous [[Anomaly|tear in the time-space continuum]]. Nibbler escaped the universe by swallowing himself, forgetting to blank everyone's memories. He returned in 3008, after [[Yivo]] was gone. It is unknown how he managed to get back to [[Universe Gamma|our universe]]. Nibbler was kidnapped by [[Mom's sons]] and imprisoned in a dark matter farm with hundreds of other Nibblonians. After this, he once again didn't wipe their memories. Despite everybody knowing that he was sentient, the Planet Express crew continued to treat him like a pet... until August of [[3010]], when he was [[That Darn Katz!|granted]] the status of crew member.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler in his real naval uniform.jpg|thumb|right|Nibbler in his [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] {{et|6ACV08}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Appearance and clothing ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has (like other [[Nibblonians]]) three eyes, one of which is on an "eye stalk", a single nostril, and fang-like teeth. He is knee-tall compared to [[humans]], and mostly covered in fur.<br />
<br />
While at the [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]], he always wears a red cape, small yellow shoes and baby diapers. When accompanied by other Nibblonians and on missions, however, he is much more formally dressed. He also has a [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] which he dresses up in on occasion, and in which his best friend for some reason died.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
<br />
As Nibbler remarks in "[[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]]", his true name is not really Nibbler - that was just the name that Leela gave him when first finding him {{et|1ACV04}}. The other Nibblonians uses this name as well, however, when speaking in English, because his true name would take too long to pronounce properly, or so he claims.<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler Birthday.jpg|thumb|Nibbler's supposed fifth birthday {{et|2ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
As shown in "[[The Why of Fry]]", Nibbler was already an adult with no apparent physical changes in [[1999]] as compared to the [[31st century]]. In the same episode, he tells Fry that his species "live long". As a bonus to the [[Volume Two]] DVD, Nibbler's birth year was revealed to be [[274 AD]], making him over 3 000 years old.<br />
<br />
When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]", [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|the veterinarian]] told Leela that the rings on his tooth could indicate his age ("if he's anything like the common tree"). Taking his word for granted, this had Leela assume that Nibbler was five years for a while.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has no known direct family, although [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] could be seen as his adoptive mother, or owner.<br />
<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
<br />
While on the surface pretending to be a cuddly pet - long even disguising his intelligence entirely - Nibbler is highly intelligent and sophisticated. He enjoys being [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] "schnuchoms", but sometimes long for intelligent conversation and approval in the [[humans|human]] world.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Nibbler was planned before the pilot, including that he would really be a talking, intelligent alien, and that he would hold the truth of the greater conspiracy that had Fry frozen. While everything wasn't planned out from the beginning, the writers included [[Nibbler's shadow]] for a short second as Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", in spite of Nibbler's first real appearance being [[Love's Labours Lost in Space|several episodes later]], and in spite of the bigger conspiracy starting to unveil [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|several seasons later]].<br />
<br />
His original appearance was hard to pin-point. [[Matt Groening]] insisted that he was supposed to be extremely cute, but that when looking at his separate components - his eye stock, his one nostril, his fangs - he seems really ugly. In one original design of Nibbler, he would have drool constantly hanging from his nostril, but without ever dripping.<ref>"[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" [[Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|commentaries]]: "In designing Nibbler I went– I wanted to do– I wanted to see if I could make a character that was really ugly when you looked at the components, he's got one nostril, he's got fangs and an eye ball on a stock on the top of his head. And yet he is really– pretty cute, huh?" - [[Matt Groening]] ([[Transcript:Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|transcript]])</ref><br />
<br />
As of [[That Darn Katz!]], Nibbler and [[Scruffy]] are only member of the [[Planet Express crew]] to be not a primary character.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]" (when he chewed at [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] butt), it was replaced by a tooth of belonging to [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|a veterinarian]].<br />
*If you look closely, you can see [[Nibbler's shadow]] under the chair when Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />
**In "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", when Fry misses the freezer by an inch in the alternate future the [[What-If Machine]] shows, Nibbler's shadow is gone, though this may be why Fry doesn't go to the future in that separate version of the [[timeline]].<br />
**However, in "[[The Why of Fry]]", when Fry tries to cross Nibbler and eventually decides to let himself be sent to the future after all, there are two shadows under the desk - those of Nibbler and Fry (seen earlier in "[[Jurassic Bark]]").<br />
*[[Nibbler's spaceship]], parked inside a container near the [[Planet Express headquarters]], is just big enough to accept him and an adult human - if Nibbler scootches up his seat, that is.<br />
*The [[dark matter]] he excretes was used to fuel the [[Planet Express ship]], before the events of "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*He comes in the [[Toynami Futurama Figures|Toynami action figure line]] as an one of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]]'s accessories.<br />
*It is unknown if Nibbler was present in [[Universe Gamma]] during the events of [[The Beast with a Billion Backs|The second movie]], as he fled it by the end of [[Bender's Big Score|the first one]].<br />

'''Lord Nibbler''' is a member of a proud and ancient race, the [[Nibblonians]]. Born [[274 AD]], he is old and wise, and with a high status in the Nibblonian world, yet he prefers to be [[Turanga Leela]]'s pet, and a member of the [[Planet Express crew]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler hides.png|thumb|left|Nibbler hides before pushing Fry into the tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]] {{et|4ACV10}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Synopsis ===<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was responsible for pushing [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] into the [[Applied Cryogenics|cryogenic tube]] and sending him to the year [[3000]]. Nibbler was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] until [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] discovered him there and instantly fell for his cuteness. He is the Nibblonian Ambassador on [[Earth]] and has [[That Darn Katz!|recently]] become a member of the [[Planet Express]] crew.<br />
<br />
=== Stationed on Vergon 6 ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler first.png|thumb|Nibbler's first appearance, meeting [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] on [[Vergon 6]] {{et|1ACV04}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler was born on [[Planet Eternium]] in [[274 AD]], making him almost 3300 years old, one of the oldest characters in [[Futurama|the series]]. Not much is known of Nibbler's biography before New Years' Eve, [[1999]], at which time he was stationed at the planet [[Vergon 6]] alongside a great number of his species.<ref>Nibbler mentions that he was stationed on [[Vergon 6]] in his conversation with Fry at Applied Cryogenics on 31 December, 1999 in "[[The Why of Fry]]".</ref> At this time, the [[Nibblonians]] had learned that [[Philip J. Fry]] was "the Mighty One", the only being in [[Universe Γ|the universe]] capable of stopping the [[Brain Spawn]] [[3002|over a thousand years later]]. However, because Fry lived in the [[20th century]], Nibbler got the mission to make sure that he fell into the cryogenic tube at [[Applied Cryogenics]], frozen until the year [[3000]].<br />
<br />
Nibbler continued to be stationed on [[Vergon 6]] for the next thousand years, but due to [[Dark Matter]] being the excrement of the Nibblonians, the planet's core was slowly filled with the valuable Dark Matter. As a result, a [[DOOP]] mining operation started, and as the core was mined out, the planet was left hollow and as a consequence dangerously sensitive for a coming implosion. The Nibblonians soon fled the planet, but Nibbler was pooping at the time, and was thus left behind.<br />
<br />
=== Hiding his intelligence ===<br />
<br />
On 13 April, [[3000]], the [[Planet Express crew]] - [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] and [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] - landed on Vergon 6 to rescue the animals left from the coming implosion of the planet. They encountered Nibbler (who ate the rest of the animals), and fled moments before the planet's doom. Nibbler hid his real identity and intelligence from the crew, and indeed from all non-Nibblonians he would encounter, and pretended to just be a dumb pet. Leela took Nibbler in, in the belief that he was dog-like in intelligence, and made him her pet.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lord Nibbler.jpg|thumb|left|Nibbler in his formal, [[Nibblonian]] clothing {{et|3ACV07}}.]]<br />
<br />
Lord Nibbler hid his intelligence until [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|the day the Earth stood stupid]], when he told Leela the truth about his orgins. This eventually helped Fry defeat the [[Brain Spawn]], an enemy to the Nibblonians. After this, he erased Leela's memory in order to keep everything in secret. While Fry's memories were not erased, no-one believed his story, and with time he forgot it. [[The Why of Fry|Later]], Nibbler got Fry into the game, as he led him through time to destroy the [[Infosphere]]. He then deleted Fry's memory as well, so that he could fulfil his purpose undetected.<br />
<br />
=== Revealed to the Crew ===<br />
<br />
In [[3007]], he finally [[Bender's Big Score|revealed]] his true nature to the whole crew during a failed attempt to avert disaster and on seeing the formation of a dangerous [[Anomaly|tear in the time-space continuum]]. Nibbler escaped the universe by swallowing himself, forgetting to blank everyone's memories. He returned in 3008, after [[Yivo]] was gone. It is unknown how he managed to get back to [[Universe Gamma|our universe]]. Nibbler was kidnapped by [[Mom's sons]] and imprisoned in a dark matter farm with hundreds of other Nibblonians. After this, he once again didn't wipe their memories. Despite everybody knowing that he was sentient, the Planet Express crew continued to treat him like a pet... until August of [[3010]], when he was [[That Darn Katz!|granted]] the status of crew member.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler in his real naval uniform.jpg|thumb|right|Nibbler in his [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] {{et|6ACV08}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Appearance and clothing ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has (like other [[Nibblonians]]) three eyes, one of which is on an "eye stalk", a single nostril, and fang-like teeth. He is knee-tall compared to [[humans]], and mostly covered in fur.<br />
<br />
While at the [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]], he always wears a red cape, small yellow shoes and baby diapers. When accompanied by other Nibblonians and on missions, however, he is much more formally dressed. He also has a [[Nibbler's naval uniform|naval uniform]] which he dresses up in on occasion, and in which his best friend for some reason died.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />
<br />
As Nibbler remarks in "[[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]]", his true name is not really Nibbler - that was just the name that Leela gave him when first finding him {{et|1ACV04}}. The other Nibblonians uses this name as well, however, when speaking in English, because his true name would take too long to pronounce properly, or so he claims.<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Nibbler Birthday.jpg|thumb|Nibbler's supposed fifth birthday {{et|2ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
As shown in "[[The Why of Fry]]", Nibbler was already an adult with no apparent physical changes in [[1999]] as compared to the [[31st century]]. In the same episode, he tells Fry that his species "live long". As a bonus to the [[Volume Two]] DVD, Nibbler's birth year was revealed to be [[274 AD]], making him over 3 000 years old.<br />
<br />
When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]", [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|the veterinarian]] told Leela that the rings on his tooth could indicate his age ("if he's anything like the common tree"). Taking his word for granted, this had Leela assume that Nibbler was five years for a while.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
<br />
Nibbler has no known direct family, although [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] could be seen as his adoptive mother, or owner.<br />
<br />
=== Personality ===<br />
<br />
While on the surface pretending to be a cuddly pet - long even disguising his intelligence entirely - Nibbler is highly intelligent and sophisticated. He enjoys being [[Turanga Leela|Leela's]] "schnuchoms", but sometimes long for intelligent conversation and approval in the [[humans|human]] world.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
The character of Nibbler was planned before the pilot, including that he would really be a talking, intelligent alien, and that he would hold the truth of the greater conspiracy that had Fry frozen. While everything wasn't planned out from the beginning, the writers included [[Nibbler's shadow]] for a short second as Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", in spite of Nibbler's first real appearance being [[Love's Labours Lost in Space|several episodes later]], and in spite of the bigger conspiracy starting to unveil [[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid|several seasons later]].<br />
<br />
His original appearance was hard to pin-point. [[Matt Groening]] insisted that he was supposed to be extremely cute, but that when looking at his separate components - his eye stock, his one nostril, his fangs - he seems really ugly. In one original design of Nibbler, he would have drool constantly hanging from his nostril, but without ever dripping.<ref>"[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" [[Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|commentaries]]: "In designing Nibbler I went– I wanted to do– I wanted to see if I could make a character that was really ugly when you looked at the components, he's got one nostril, he's got fangs and an eye ball on a stock on the top of his head. And yet he is really– pretty cute, huh?" - [[Matt Groening]] ([[Transcript:Commentary:Love's Labours Lost in Space|transcript]])</ref><br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*When Nibbler's right fang broke in "[[I Second that Emotion]]" (when he chewed at [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] butt), it was replaced by a tooth of belonging to [[Vet Jeffrey Grant|a veterinarian]].<br />
*If you look closely, you can see [[Nibbler's shadow]] under the chair when Fry falls into the tube in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />
**In "[[Anthology of Interest I]]", when Fry misses the freezer by an inch in the alternate future the [[What-If Machine]] shows, Nibbler's shadow is gone, though this may be why Fry doesn't go to the future in that separate version of the [[timeline]].<br />
**However, in "[[The Why of Fry]]", when Fry tries to cross Nibbler and eventually decides to let himself be sent to the future after all, there are two shadows under the desk - those of Nibbler and Fry (seen earlier in "[[Jurassic Bark]]").<br />
*[[Nibbler's spaceship]], parked inside a container near the [[Planet Express headquarters]], is just big enough to accept him and an adult human - if Nibbler scootches up his seat, that is.<br />
*The [[dark matter]] he excretes was used to fuel the [[Planet Express ship]], before the events of "''[[Bender's Game]]''".<br />
*He comes in the [[Toynami Futurama Figures|Toynami action figure line]] as an one of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]]'s accessories.<br />
*It is unknown if Nibbler was present in [[Universe Gamma]] during the events of [[The Beast with a Billion Backs|The second movie]], as he fled it by the end of [[Bender's Big Score|the first one]].<br />
*Since [[That Darn Katz!]], Nibbler is with [[Scruffy]], the only member of the [[Planet Expres crew]] to be not a primary character.<br />

:''['''Scene''': Planet Express, Lounge. [[Nibbler]] is burying Dark Matter in his litter box.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Leela]]''': Aw! Nibbler made a bobo for Mamma. I'll pick it up with my super-dupey poopy scoopy. ''[Nibbler grumbles. A truck can be heard backing up and Leela enters the room, driving a fork-lift.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Pan to''' Planet Express, Sub Basement.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Amy]]''': Core magnetic field, 31 {{w|Tesla|microteslas}}.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Prof. Farnsworth]]''': Nice.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Temperature? Woah! The {{w|Magnum, P.I.|magma P.I.}} is 10,000 degrees {{w|Tom Selleck|Selleck}}! ''[Leela is emptying Nibbler's litter box in the magma. Amy swears in {{w|Cantonese}}.]'' Leela, I am collecting data. Can't you dump that somewhere else.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Not really. It's highly volatile [[Dark Matter]], and some {{w|corn}}.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': But I'm presenting my {{w|thesis}} tomorrow and I've barely had time to prepare.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Nonsense. You've been my grad student for twelve years. You were ready six years ago.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': What?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': I probably should have told you. Anyway, the important thing is to be relaxed tomorrow.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Are you sure?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Yes. Do what you young people do to unwind. Take a joyride in your {{w|jalopy}}. Wear a T-shirt and eat a fish stick. Go!</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': The Hip Joint. [[Fry]], Leela, [[Bender]], Nibbler, Amy and [[Kif]] are sitting at a table.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Kif''': Okay, ''amigos'', one teensy drink to help Amy relax. ''[They drink.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Hmmm. I guess I'm still kinda nervous.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': One more teensy drink to help Amy relax. ''[They press buttons on their glasses and they refill by themselves. They drink again.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Still a little nervous? ''[Amy burps.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': She's a nervous wreck! ''[They refill and drink again.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Time Lapse:''' Bender, Fry, Kif and Amy are all dancing. They are clearly drunk. Kif is still drinking.<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[At the table with Nibbler.]'' Well, I may not have a man, but at least I've got you, poopsie-doodle. ''[She pinches his cheek.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': ''[He drinks.]'' Leela, it's time you and I had a talk.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': A talk? You can't break up with me. You're my pet!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': As much as I enjoy being the object of your misplaced affections, I am also a highly sophisticated being that longs for intelligent conversation.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Aw, is shnookums not feeling schtimuwated?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': An understatement, to say the least. It's time you treated me with respect.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': If you want to be treated like a fellow crew member, fine, but no more purse rides, and no more dressing ypu up in your cute little sailor suit.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': I keep telling you, that's my real naval uniform.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Time Lapse:''' Kif and Amy are still dancing. They kiss.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Kif''': Your place or mine? </poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Both, but first, this place. ''[She drags him to the floor. Kif laughing nervously the entire time.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Hedonism Bot]]''': ''[Seeing the two of them.]'' Ooh! Room for one more? ''[He laughs saucily.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': [[Amy's apartment]]. Her [[Alarm Clock]] goes off. It reads 8:50.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': I thought I set you for 7:15!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Alarm Clock''': Sorry, I hooked up with Bender last night. Dude was all over my snooze button.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': But my doctoral exam is in ten minutes! On [[Mars]]! ''[She runs out of bed but steps in something.]'' Eww! Kif, did you yack on the floor?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Kif''': ''[He is the puddle Amy walked in.]'' Yes, I did.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Mars University. A Giant Pulsating Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste. A man is stroking a [[Thubanian Leader|white cat]].]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Morris Katz]]''': Where's your candidate, Farnsworth. I have a long list of students to humiliate today. ''[A door opens and Kif, Leela, Bender, Fry and Amy walk in.]'' You're late, Miss Wong.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Oh, God, this is like one of those nightmares. ''[She ''is'' in only her bra and underpants. She screams.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Here, take my lab coat. ''[He offers it to her. He only has suspenders and his underpants underneath it.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Katz''': Allow me to introduce your examining committee in order of grumpiness. [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Professor Ogden Wernstrom]].</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farsnworth''': Wernstrom!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Katz''': Downtown Professor of Applied Physics, [[Ethan 'Bubblegum' Tate]].</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Tate''': I see by your curriculum vitæ that you're a {{w|Sagittarius}}.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Katz''': And [[Professor Fisherprice Shpeekenshpell]].</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Shpeekenshpell''': The [[cow]] says... Moo.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': ''[Whispering to Bubblegum.]'' He proved that 50 years ago, and he's been coasting on it ever since.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Katz''': I am the esteemed [[Professor Morris Katz]], and you are wasting my time. Proceed.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Imagine, if you will...</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Katz''': Oh, God!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': A gigantic spherical generator, one that could provide unlimited energy, because it's in essential {{w|Perpetual Motion}}.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Wermstrom''': ''[He and Katz scoff, loudly]'' Young lady, have you been drinking?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Well, yes, but that's not revelant. I'm talking about [[Earth]]. Earth's the generator. ''[Shpeekenshpell lands on a {{w|sheep}} and makes a bleating noise.]'' Suppose this {{w|basketball}} is the whole world.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Tate''': ''[He is spinning a basketball on his finger.]'' To many young men in the inner city, it is.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': As it spins, it's producing an enormous {{w|magnetic field}}. If we could use that field to generate electrical current, we could actually harness the Earth's rotational ener... Ener... '[She sneezes.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Yes, the Earth's rotational ener-kerchoo. Go on.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Sorry, I'm super-{{w|Allergy|allergic}} to cats. Professor Katz, do you mind.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Katz''': Miss Wong, I mind everything.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': ''[Holding a model.]'' You just need to polarize the Earth's core with a huge static charge, ''[The cat starts toying with the model.]'' by ratcheting {{w|Superconductor|Superconducting}} wire down into... ''[She sneezes.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Katz''': Enough. The committee members will now vote now vote yea or nay. Nay.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Wernstrom''': Nay.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Tate''': Hell nay.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Shpeekenshpell''': ''[He spins to a {{w|Horse}}.]'' The horse says, ''{{w|doctorate}} denied.''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Waterfront. The ship flies in for a landing.]''<br />
<br />
:''[Everyone gets off the ship. Amy is still in the Professor's coat.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': It's okay, Amy. I don't have a fancy degree either, but today I'm a prominent boy in the package delivery field. ''[After they leave the hanger, Katz's cat leaves the ship.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Meeting Room. The entire crew, plus Nibbler, are seated at the table.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': Now that I am a full and equal member of the crew, I pledge my loyalty, my perspicacity, and, dare I say it, my friendship.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Hermes]]''': Leela, muzzle that skunk! We can't stop a meeting for some cute, fuzzy, little... ''[He notices Katz's cat.]] Hey, look, a kitty cat.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': ''[The cat rubs against Amy. Static discharges.]'' You again? ''[She sneezes.]'' Get away you mangy ball of {{w|Histamines}}.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': ''[He picks the cat up.]'' You leave kitty cat alone! ''[The crew, except for Amy and Nibbler gather around, cooing at the cat.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': People, please, I'm trying to run a business, so ''I'' get to hold kitty. ''[The crew keeps cooing.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Over here. I wanna hold him.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Aw! It's anus looks like an asterisk.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Lounge. Everyone except Amy and Nibbler is still playing with the cat. It is in Nibber's naval uniform.<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Captain Fuzzytoes reporting for duty. I mean, cutie. ''[They laugh.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': ''[Smoking a pipe.]'' My best friend ''died'' in that uniform. I hate that cat!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': If I had a spray bottle, I'd give him such a spritzing.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': I'll tell you one thing. Nothing acts that cute without some ulterior motive. ''[He gets up and does a small dance, cooing in discomfort.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Aw! You want your diapey changed? ''[He coos an affirmative.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': ''[Laying down.]'' We'll have to wait its every move. ''[Amy puts on a fresh diaper.]'' Powder, please.</poem><br />
<br />
:''[A montage plays where Amy and Nibbler watch the cat. They use [[jet packs]] to watch it on the 2nd floor window. They lay a trap, putting milk in a cage for it, which [[Zoidberg]] quickly moves into. They watch Leela walking the cat in a stroller as the montage ends.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Here's my new theory. That is one adorable cat.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': I guess I was just jealous. I do miss being Leela's schnookums. I'm going to apologize and hope for a pity pet. ''[They look over and gasp.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': ''[She is kneeling before the cat.]'' Yes, my lord. Amy and Nibbler are a tewwible thweat. They must be {{w|neutering|spayed and neutered}}, wespectivewy. ''[Nibbler crouches and hisses like a cat.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Nighttime.]''<br />
<br />
:''[The cat meows the {{w|Meow Mix}} jingle. A cat shaped [[flying saucer]] descends and echos the jingle in a deep tone. The windows shatter.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': ''[She runs into the meeting room, carrying Nibbler.]'' The cat is evil! We have proof!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': It was summoning a saucer!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Of course it was wanted a saucer you idiot. A saucer of dewicious cweam. ''[He has a gray cat in his lap.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': You fool, this isn't about the cream.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': It's pwonounced "cweam". ''[He also has a cat, in his chest cabinet.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''[[Zoidberg]]''': I'm petting mine to the bone. ''[He strokes a cat, causing hair to be chopped off.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Just stwoke its fwffy fur.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Scwatch its fwubby chin.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Fweeble its fwooby pwow.</poem><br />
<br />
:''[They all have cats. They hold them out chanting, "Pet it!".<br />

<poem>'''Amy''': No, no! ''[She sneezes and flees with Nibbler.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Morning. A cat shaped saucer lands in the hanger. The hypnotized crew are unloading boxes, chemicals and a massive ball of yarn.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': What do cats need with that much yarn and {{w|cobalt}}?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': They're doing something downstairs. We've got to find out what. ''[She follows her coworkers.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Where do you think you're going, no-cat?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Uh, the basement. I think I left the {{w|air hockey}} table on.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Without a cat, you ain't going nowhere. ''[He points to a sign that says "All employeez must haz catz to enter".]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': Can you at least tell us what's going on down there?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': We're certainly not building something sinister, if that's what your implying. Now, come on, Bender. Something sinister won't build itself. ''[They walk into the elevator.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': NNY.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Professor Katz's last name is Katz. Do you think he has something to do with these cats?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': The conclusion is an inescapable as it is moronic. ''[He wheels out his spaceship.]'' I say we pay him a visit, and if he won't talk to us, he'll talk to [[Smith & Wesson]], ''[He pulls out a hand gun.]'' or, perhaps, [[Consolidated Head Melter. ''[He takes out a huge blaster. He and Amy get into the ship and it takes off.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Mars University. Physics Dept. The department is two buildings on a {{w|lever}} and {{w|fulcrum}}. Nibbler's ship lands outside the main building of the Physics Department. The weight change causes the Annex to rise into the air.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Mars University. Outside Katz's office. The door reads Prof. Morris Katz. A taped on piece of paper reads, "Please Leave Before Entering".]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': ''[She knocks on the door then kicks it in.]'' Professor Katz, we want answers! ''[Katz just sits in his chair, with his back to them.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': I warn you, if I have to get cute, it's gonna get ugly. ''[Katz still doesn't respond. Amy turns the chair.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': He's dead!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': Wait. What are these strings on his lap? ''[He pulls them and Katz reacts.]'' What the... He isn't dead. He's one of those dog-operated puppets that's been adapted for use by a cat!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': So I had my doctorate denied by that fuzzball? ''[She shoots a picture of the cat.]'' Bad kitty!</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': NNY. Nibbler's ship lands.]''<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Hanger. Amy and Nibbler sneak to the basement door. It reads "watch for {{w|slinky|slinkys}}. She opens in and they run downstairs.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': They actually built the planetary ratchet from my thesis! ''[The remaining crew are operating the ratchet, supervised by cats. Amy sneezes.]'' Uh-oh.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': What the... ''[Leela is standing in front of them. She kicks the weapons out of their hands.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian Leader''': Well, look what the me dragged in.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': You can talk!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian Leader''': You can talk?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': How ironic. Two hyper-intelligent beings both pretending to be simple house pets!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader<poem>''' Say, do you know [[Obliteron]]? He pretends to be a hamster, but when...</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Yeah, that really great. Could you please tell us what's going on?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader:''' What? Oh, right! You see, my associates and I are from the ninth planet of the star you call {{w|Thuban}}. Long ago, life there was ideal. ''['''Flashback''' ''[A cat is leaping from scratching posts.]'' Our sun provide plenty of warm, dozy light. The [[chicken-salmon]] roamed free. ''[Cats pounce on the animals.]'' Yet disaster loomed. Our planet's rotation was gradually slowing. ''[Cats are sleeping at night and at day.]'' At first, it seemed beneficial. Long, dark nights for sleeping, long, sunny days for sleeping. But them it grew too hot and too cold. ''[Cats are meowing in pain, surrounded by fires. Then they are freezing under piles of snow.]'' Our top scientists went to work, ''[Cats are looking through a telescope.]'' At last, they located a planet with the necessary orientation and magnetic orientation to harness the rotational energy. ''[The telescope focuses on Earth. End Flashback.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': Earth!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader<poem>''' Indubitably. Although we call it Blue Blue Shiny Ball. ''[Flashback to [[Egypt, 3,500 B.C. A saucer lands and cats get out, meowing. The Egyptians look surprised.]'' In the area now known as Egypt, my people constructed a giant, semi-octahedral antenna to beam Earth's rotational energy back to Thuban. ''[Egyptians are seen building a pyramid.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': {{w|The Great Pyramid at Giza}}!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader<poem>''' Yes. The Egyptians viewed us as gods, but ironically that was our downfall. ''[The cats are surrounded by golden statues and are being fed by the Egyptians.]'' They pampered us with {{w|Fancy Feast|feasts most fancy}} and {{w|Tender Vittles|vittles most tender}}. We grew fat and domesticated. ''[A fat cat is napping on someone's lap. The cat meows a "Duh"]'' Thousands of years passed, and our home world was nearing total destruction. ''[From space, cats can be heard meowing on Thuban. A man the next planet over yells at them to shut up.]'' But the technology to save our planet was lost. Lost, that is, until I heard you speak at "Mars University".</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': So you called my thesis a fat sack of barf, and then you stole it?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': Welcome to Academia.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': He intends to siphon off Earth's rotational energy!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Earth will come to a stop, and...</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': Half of you will cook, and half of you will freeze. Earth will become one big {{w|McDLT}}. We just got that commercial last year.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Oh, yeah, smarty paws? You may have built the ratchet but you can't reach the core without 4,000 miles of superconducting wire. ''[She gasps.]'' The ball of yarn! ''[Cats are unraveling the "yarn" and it is being ratcheted down.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': Quite.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': Even so, you would still need a tremendously powerful {{w|static charge}} to trigger the process.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': Ever had a cat rub up against you?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': If you're propositioning me, I'm not interested.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': I'm talking about the charge generated when 50,000 felines rub against a single surface. Professor?</poem><br />
<br />
:''[The Professor stops turning the machine and activates a can opener in the kitchen. The sound is magnified by speaker system. All over the city, cats hear it and run to [[Planet Express]]. They rub against the outer walls, creating a static charge. The machine starts and the Earth can be seen slowing.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': Soon the world will come to stop, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. The stopping of the world, that is. It's unstoppable. ''[He gives an evil laugh.]'' Excuse me. ''[He starts chewing on his paw.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''[Time Lapse.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': The Earth is coming to a stop. Keep you eyes on the kitties and push! ''[The crew are being entranced by the sight of cats playing.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': ''[Locked in a pet carrier with Amy.]'' These space cats seem to be employing a form of hypnotic hyper-cuteness. Well, two can play that game. And one of them is me. ''[He puts on a face and starts cooing.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Nibbler? Poopsie-doodle? ''[The hypnotized crew stop and looks at Nibbler.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': Mr. Winkles, Smudge-Smudge. Quick, dance with each other.</poem><br />
<br />
:''[Zoidberg and Bender's cats start dancing together. The crew coos and resumes operating the ratchet.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': Aw! ''[He shakes himself.]'' Damn, they are good.</poem><br />
<br />
:''[The building starts shaking.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': We're coming to a full stop. All cats, to your posts!</poem><br />
<br />
:''[The cats jump onto scratching posts. The Earth stops.<br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Space. The {{w|Hawaiian Islands}} crash into each other. The {{w|Eiffel Tower}} gets blown away, replaced by {{w|Big Ben}}. The [[Statue of Liberty crashes into Big Ben.]''<br />

<br />
<poem>'''Calculon''': Cut! That extra looked at the camera. We'll have to do it again.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. The crew are thrown against a wall, the cats barely hold onto their posts. The pet carrier breaks.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': And now to transfer your planet's rotational energy to my home world. ''[He pulls a lever and a large amount of energy blast from the pyramids into space. It hits [[Thuban 9]] and the planet starts spinning.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Thuban 9. The rotational energy hits a pyramid.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian''': ''[Seeing their planet start to rotate.]'' Well, now, this calls for a celebration. ''[All the Thubanians nearby start to {{w|Can-can}}.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Basement.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': What's all this cat hair doing on my sweater? ''[He rubs at the "H" on his sweater and it dissipates.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': And why am I full of sand? And {{w|Tootsie Rolls}}?</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Nibbler''': You were all under the spell of those obnoxious space cats.</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Thubanian leader''': ''[The Thubanians are leaving.]'' Enjoy being broiled alive by the [[Sol|Sun]] and also the dead {{w|bird}} we've left in your slipper. ''[He laughs then leaves.]''</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Space. The Earth is cooked by the Sun.]''<br />
<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Quickly! If we turn the ratchet the other way, perhaps we can restart the Earth. ''[The ratchet won't move.]''</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': It won't turn. Push harder, Bender!</poem><br />
<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I can't. You should have called my cousin, Turner.</poem><br />
<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express. Lounge. The crew are all trying to keep cool.]''<br />
<br />

"'''Love and Rocket'''" is the fifty-seventh episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the third of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] and the fourth of the [[Broadcast season 4|fourth broadcast season]]. It aired 10 February, 2002 on FOX. It guest stars [[Sigourney Weaver]] as the [[Planet Express Ship]] and reprises [[Lucy Liu's Head|Lucy Liu]] as herself in a [[Head Jars|jar]]. [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] finds himself in a love affair with the new software personality in the ship, but Bender is not a one woman robot.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "U-R-2 Cute" ===<br />
Shortly before Valentine's Day, [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] and the [[Planet Express Ship]] are having major differences. Meanwhile, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] informs the crew that [[Planet Express]] has landed a big contract with [[Romanticorp]] and is able to afford some modifications to the ship, including an improved personality (female) software for the Planet Express Ship, whom Bender immediately falls in love with.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I Wuv U" ===<br />
Meanwhile, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] tries to find the perfect pickup line from the huge load of {{w|Sweethearts (candy)|conversation hearts}} they are supposed to deliver in order to impress [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] with it. Bender has become tired of the Planet Express ship, and starts to date cheap floozies on the side. This arouses the ship's suspicions and makes her jealous. Bender keeps stalling the Planet Express Ship, and makes her more suspicious.<br />
<br />
As the crew delivers a load of conversation hearts to [[Omicron Persei 8]] as a peace offering from [[Earth]]'s government, the [[Omicronians]] get mad at the 'I Wuv U' hearts and chase the crew off the planet, and then attack them with a fleet of Omicronian fighters. Bender picks this moment to break up with the ship, because he likes a dump to be as devastating as it is memorable. The Planet Express Ship screams and shuts down its engines, as it starts to sob. Seeing the opportunity for a fatal blow, the Omicronians fire several missiles, which leave the ship in ruins.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "U leave me breathless" ===<br />
The ship is surprisingly unharmed, save her feelings, and despite Leela's best efforts to console her, is still deeply depressed. Losing all hope to get together with Bender, the ship decides to fly into the nearest quasar to unite her and Bender into a quantum singularity. The crew tries to stop the ship, which disables life support and artificial gravity. Bender offers to merge his programming with the ship's to distract it, while Leela tries shutting down the ship's brain.<br />
<br />
While Fry and Leela are in the brain room, Fry continues looking for the ultimate heart line while Leela is busy shutting down the ship's brain. As Fry is searching, he notices that Leela's oxygen is running out. Unaware of the situation, Leela ignores Fry, thinking he is trying to give her a conversation heart. Fry secretly plugs his oxygen supply into Leela's helmet. Meanwhile, Bender is being chased around the matrix-like world of the ship's computer by her personality icon, but cannot evade merging their programming. Leela succeeds in shutting down the computer, which brings life support and gravity back online. This also stops the ship from flying into the quasar. Leela, cautiously optimistic, speaks to Fry, who does not respond. She discovers that he sacrificed his own oxygen for her. She attempts to resuscitate Fry, who has lost consciousness. While pounding on his chest to make him breathe, Fry coughs up the candy heart he has been searching for ''U leave me breathless''. Bender separates himself from the computer's consciousness, but seems to have ingested part of her personality.<br />
<br />
The crew dumps the now useless conversation hearts into the quasar, causing a mystical love radiation spreading across the universe, destroying many, many planets--including 2 gangster planets and a cowboy world. Earth, however, was exactly the right distance away to see the romantic rays, but not be destroyed by them.<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Much of the episode is inspired by the epic Sci Fi movie "{{w|2001 - A Space Odyssey}}", like the computer's eye ({{w|HAL 9000}}) and Bender singing "{{w|Daisy Bell}}".<br />
*According to the DVD commentary, Leela lights a vanilla-scented candle on the bridge while consoling the ship and feeds it several buckets of ice cream - her standard method of coping with romantic problems, judging from her feelings expressed by Bender in "[[I Second that Emotion]]".<br />
*Leela's comment about Six Flags is a reference to a Coca-Cola promotion where specially marked cans would give the drinker a free ticket to Six Flags.<br />
*When [[Bender]] is trapped after having [[merge programming|merged programming]] with the [[Planet Express ship]], Bender cannot continue because he has run into a {{w|Zener diode}}.<br />
*The scene in which the lady chooses between the two talking wire mesh dummies is a reference to psychologist {{w|Harry Harlow}}'s maternal-separation and social isolation experiments on {{w|Rhesus Macaque|Rhesus monkeys}}.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Bender crosses a diode in the chase sequence, meaning he supposedly can't go back across it. However the diode is actually pointing the wrong way. Pointing the way it does in the episode, he should have been blocked from crossing it in the first place.<br />
**It's explained in [[Commentary:Love and Rocket|the DVD commentary]] that the diode represents the wall that Bender runs into, not that he can't cross over it again.<br />
*The quantity of candy hearts are referred to as "trillions," then "20 billion," and finally "millions."<br />
**Though these are likely referring separately to: the trillions of hearts in the Romaticorp warehouse, a delivery of 20 billion to the Omicronians, and whatever millions are left on the ship for other contracted deliveries or were undelivered due to the Omicronians becoming infuriated.<br />
*In the first scene, the fuselage of the Planet Express ship is incorrectly colored gray.<br />
<br />
=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Remember, we've got to show these people we're not bitter husks of human beings who long ago abandoned hope of finding love in this lifetime. Leela, you'll have to do some acting.<br />
'''Leela''': Check!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Clothing, delicious clothing!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Call me old-fashioned, but I like a dump to be as memorable as it is devastating!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Look, Ship, if I learned anything from my mutual breakup with Shawn that was totally mutual, it's that happiness can only come from within you.<br />
'''Planet Express Ship''': [crying] But Bender IS within me!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Planet Express Ship''': I'm afraid I can't do that, Leela.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Lrrr]]''': This is ancient Earth's most foolish {{w|Friends|program}}. Why does {{w|Ross Geller|Ross}}, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?<br />
'''[[Ndnd]]''': Perhaps they are saving that for sweeps.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Lrrr''': Eugh! These candies are chalky and unpleasant.<br />
'''Ndnd''': And what is this emotion you humans call "wuv?"<br />
'''Lrrr''': Surely it says "love?"<br />
'''Ndnd''': No, "wuv". With an Earth "W". Behold!<br />
'''Lrrr''': This concept of "wuv" confuses and infuriates us!!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': ''[Voice-over.]'' As the candy hearts poured into the fiery quasar, a wondrous thing happened, why not. They vaporized into a mystical love radiation that spread across the universe, destroying many, many planets, including two gangster planets and a cowboy world. But one planet was at exactly the right distance to see the romantic rays, but not be destroyed by them: Earth. So all over the world, couples stood together in joy. And me, Zoidberg! And no one could have been happier unless it would have also been Valentine's Day. What? It was? Hooray!</poem><br />

[[File:Crew Quarters.jpg|right|thumb|The Crew Quarters]]<br />
*Some items in Fry's and Bender's cabin refer to earlier episodes, among them are: a sword (probably nicked from [[Alcazar]]) leaning on the wall, a [[Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP)|DOOP]] uniform on the ground, a model of the [[Titanic]] on a shelf, the helmet Fry wore in "[[When Aliens Attack]]", a [[Mars University (Place)|Mars University]] pennant on the wall and a suitcase. The same gadgets are already there in "[[The Deep South]]", and some of them can be seen in other episodes as well, like the sword in "[[Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch]]". The pink cloth on the hilt of the sword looks suspiciously like Gender Bender's tutu from "[[Raging Bender]]".<br />

<br />
* A club is seen, called [[Schrödinger's Kit Kat Club]]. This is a reference to the {{w|Schrödinger's cat}} thought experiment, an important {{w|quantum mechanics}} idea by physicist {{w|Erwin Schrödinger}}. In the thought experiment, a cat is placed in a box alongside a bottle of poisonous gas which will open at a random time. After a certain time, there is 50 % chance that the bottle will have opened and that the cat would be dead. According to the widely accepted Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, the cat would at this time be both dead and alive simultaneously.<br />

=== {{e|3ACV04}} ===<br />
<br />
* In the horse race, the judges' decide the winner by measuring the cameras on a {{w|quantum}} level, and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] claims that they "changed the outcome by measuring it". This is a reference to {{w|Werner Heisenberg}}'s {{w|uncertainty principle}}, published in [[1927]], which states: a quantum level object is changed when measured, due to the {{w|photon}}s of light falling upon it.<br />
