:''['''Scene''': Planet Express: Hangar. The hangar doors are open and the launching mechanism raises the ship into the launch position.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': Ships Cockpit. The crew sit at their stations.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Turanga Leela|Leela]]''': Guidance system?</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]''': Online.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Autopilot?</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Planet Express Ship|Autopilot]]''': Present.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Dark matter indicator?</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]''': Making the noise.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': All systems operational. Let's rock!</poem><br />
:''[She pushes the gear lever forward.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': Planet Express: Hangar. The engines fire up.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': Outside Planet Express. The ship takes off and the engines suddenly shut down. The ship falls onto the road and the landing gear pops out. Motorists honk their horns as the crashed ship causes a traffic jam.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express: Meeting Room. Fry, Bender, Zoidberg and Hermes sit around the table. Leela stands holding a thick folder.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Gentlemen, I've completed my report on the crash.</poem><br />
:''[She drops the thick file onto the table and everyone stares at it.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Whoa! I'm not reading that crap. Summarise it in one word.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Sabotage. ''[Gasps all around. Leela points to an L-shaped piece of metal on the table.]'' This is a normal L-unit. Without it, space travel is but the fevered dream of a madman.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yep.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Of course.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]]''': Doy!</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]''': It's an important unit.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': And ''this'', my friends, is the L-unit I just removed from the ship.</poem><br />
:''[She pulls a sheet off an L-unit. It is straight. Everyone gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': That doesn't look like an "L" at all. Unless you count lowercase.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': You know we don't!</poem><br />
:''[He slaps Fry, who groans.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Whoever did this was strong. This is 340 pounds of {{w|Tonka}}-tough steel.</poem><br />
:''[Bender stands at her side and picks up the L-unit.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Hmm. It should look like this. ''[He bends it into an L-shape.]'' But instead it looks like this.</poem><br />
:''[He straightens it again.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Who would do a thing like that?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Who ''could'' do a thing like that? And by "that", I mean this.</poem><br />
:''[He bends the L-unit back and forth repeatedly.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Well, gang, it looks like we have another mystery on our hands.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': I'd better make a chart of the suspects. I'll begin by drawing a line with my straight-edge. ''[He draws along his straight-edge but halfway along the line starts to bend. He gasps.]'' Sweet lamprey of Santa Fe! My edge has been bent!</poem><br />
:''[Amy walks in wearing [[Mars University (place)|Mars University]] sweats.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Amy Wong|Amy]]''': [crying] My javelin too! It's ruined. ''[She holds up her javelin which has been bent in eight places.]'' Now we'll never beat Jupiter State.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': My slinky! ''[He runs over to the corner of the room and picks up a straightened slinky. He falls to his knees.]'' My cuddly, little pet slinky!</poem><br />
:''[He cries. Farnsworth walks in. He has been bent forward so his back is horizontal and his face is pointing downwards.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]]''': What's all the hubbub?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': My God! Even the Professor's been bent.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': That you for your sympathy, talking square of linoleum.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I'll get you fixed up. ''[He bends Farnsworth backwards so his face is pointing upwards. Farnsworth screams.]'' That's fine.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Wait a minute. Bender, what did you just do to the Professor?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I bent him.</poem><br />
:''[More gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Aha!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Bender!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': ''J'accuse''!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Oh, I see. A bunch of stuff gets bent so it must be the robot designed for bending.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': I know how to settle this: We'll check last night's surveillance tapes.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Huh?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': What tapes?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Surveillance?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': You've seen me naked?</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express: Surveillance Room. Hermes presses a button and a panel in the wall slides up, revealing several screens and rows of tapes. Hermes runs his finger across the tapes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Ah. Last night's tape. It was right next to ''Bathroom Bloopers 4''.</poem><br />
:''[Bender takes the tape and puts it in the VCR. On the screen Farnsworth snores in his apartment lounge. Owls wander out of an owl hole and start pecking the floor.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': See? Nothing. Told you, losers.</poem><br />
:''[Bender walks in on the screen with his arms outstretched.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Wait! There on the screen. It's that guy you are.</poem><br />
:''[Everyone gasps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I'm sleepwalking.</poem><br />
:''[Farnsworth watches a little TV monitor attached to his head.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Dear God! We've got robots on the ceiling.</poem><br />
:''[On the screen, Bender mumbles in his sleep. He bends a column and the staff gasp. Then he bends a sofa cushion, a plant and eventually Farnsworth, who groans but remains asleep. Bender turns around and bends the camera. The picture cuts to static.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You weren't sleepwalking, you were sleep-''bending''!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': This is quite a shock. On the other hand, it's not surprising in the least. After all, I've been bending since the day I was built.</poem><br />
:''[''Flashback''. Large robotic arms assemble a bending unit on a conveyor belt.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [voice-over] I was born on an assembly line in the bad part of [[Tijuana]].</poem><br />
:''[A robotic arm selects a bending unit head from a box filled with other robot heads, including Flexo's. It screws the head onto the body and Bender opens his eyes.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Mama. ''[He reaches out and cries. The robotic arm opens a bottle of Olde Fortran and screws a baby bottle-top onto it and feeds Bender. The conveyor belt moves and carries Bender to a machine marked "Bending School". Another robot arm comes out of it and installs bending software into his head. A third one hands him a diploma and puts a hat on his head then it throws the hat in the air.]'' Hooray! I graduated! Time to bend around Europe for a few months, then get a job bending.</poem><br />
:''[He bends his diploma.]''<br />
:''[''Flashback'' ends.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': You remember your own birth?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Sure. It was only four years ago.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': You're only four years old?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Precocious little scamp, ain't I?</poem><br />
:''[He takes a puff from a cigar.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Hmm. Bender must have a pent-up need to bend that's not being satisfied by his bend-free lifestyle.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Then he can't stay here. He's a menace to every straight person in the company. ''[Bender hangs his head in shame.]'' Go satisfy your bend lust and don't you come back to work until you do.</poem><br />
:''[He puts his hand up and tips backwards.]''<br />
:''[Outside [[Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant]]. Robots have formed a picket line outside.]''<br />
<poem>'''Robots''': [chanting] No more bending, no more work. Give us a raise, you big fat jerk.</poem><br />
:''[Sal leans out of a window.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Sal]]''': [shouting] Nevers!</poem><br />
:''[A car pulls up next to the robots and [[Joey Mousepad]] leans out. He whistles to them.]''<br />
<poem>'''Joey''': Yo! The Mafia supports you. But don't tell no one. Spread the word.</poem><br />
:''[He leans back in.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': Mafiabot Car. Clamps and Donbot are with Joey.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Donbot]]''': As the duly-elected mobsters of this union, it's our duty to support the struggle of these proud, lazy slobs.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Joey''': Yeah, but what if management remains intragnizent?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': From the context it is clear what you mean. In that case, Clamps may have a little surprise for them.</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Clamps]]''': The clamps! ''[He clacks his clamps then turns to the Donbot.]'' ''[unsure]'' Right?</poem><br />
:''[Donbot nods and Clamps laughs maniacally.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Outside Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant. Bender arrives and sees the robots.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Aw, no! A strike? Now I'll never get to bend anything. Oh, woe is Bender.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Robot #1''': Hang tough, brother. Management refused our demand to switch casual Friday to Monday.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''What''?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Robot #2''': And now they're hiring scabs at ten-times the normal wage.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Ten-times normal wage? ''[He rolls his sleeves up.]'' I'll give those jerks what for!</poem><br />
:''[He walks straight through the fence towards the factory and the robots cheer him on.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant. Bender shakes Sal's hand.]''<br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Welcomes aboard, scab.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Great to be here.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Come on. I'll introduces you to your scab co-workers you'll be scabbing with. ''[He points to a bending unit.]'' This here's our scab foreman.</poem><br />
:''[The bending unit turns around.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Flexo?</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Flexo]]''': Bender?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Hey, sorry you got sent to that South American Turkish prison instead of me on account of mistaken identity.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Flexo''': You bastard! They treated me like an animal and that's what I became! ''[He laughs.]'' Nah, you're alright. Good to see you, buddy!</poem><br />
:''[They high-five.]''<br />
<poem>'''Sal''': And here's another scab what also works here, Angle-ine.</poem><br />
:''[Bender gasps and stares at the Fembot, blurry-eyed. She is thin and has blonde hair.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [sexfully] Hello.</poem><br />
:''[Angle-ine smiles.]''<br />
<poem>'''Sal''': Hey, yous guyses wanna move that things?</poem><br />
:''[Robots move a pane of frosted glass from in front of Angle-ine, revealing her to be more heavily-built than Bender thought.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [more sexfully] Hello!</poem><br />
:''[Angle-ine laughs croakily then coughs.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Outside Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant. The robots still march and chant.]''<br />
<poem>'''Robots''': [chanting] Give us a raise, you big fat jerk.</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant. A girder drops into Flexo's hands.]''<br />
<poem>'''Sal''': [from outside] Nevers!</poem><br />
:''[Flexo bends the girder and moves it aside. Bender stands in front of him and bends a girder. Angle-ine bends wires into wire coat hangers. Bender gazes at her and sighs. A girder hits him on the head.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Ow! ''[He strolls over to Angle-ine.]'' Um, hi, Angle-ine. Whatcha up to?</poem><br />
<poem>'''[[Angle-ine]]''': Making hangers. Guidance counsellor said I had a knack for it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': That's cool, that's cool. So, um, uh, I was wondering if, y'know, it's cool if not, but, what are you doing after work?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': What I always do. Jack squat.</poem><br />
:''[Bender chuckles.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Me too. ''[He chuckles again.]'' Man, we have a lot in common, huh?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Well we are made of virtually identical components.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [sexfully] Are you sure? Maybe I should sneak a peek at your access panel.</poem><br />
:''[Angle-ine holds up a leaflet.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Hey, according to the scab handbook that's extremely inappropriate banter. ''[sexfully]'' And that's just the way I like it.</poem><br />
:''[Bender smiles.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express: Hangar. Hermes tries to straighten his straight edge. Behind him the ship is a battered mess.]''<br />
<poem>'''Hermes''': Haile H. Selassie!</poem><br />
:''[He bends it straight. Beside him, Zoidberg has re-curled his slinky, though it doesn't really look right.]''<br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': There, little friend. Good as new.</poem><br />
:''[He strokes it and puts it atop a pile of books he has arranged like stairs. He nudges the slinky and it flops down the books and bursts into flames. Zoidberg groans and bursts into tears.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': New New York City Street. Fry and Farnsworth walk down the rough street. Farnsworth is looking upwards and doesn't notice how bad the street and the inhabitants of it are.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': What an exquisite day. That azure sky, the verdant treetops. ''[Behind him the [[crack addict]] exchanges money for crack with a dealer.]'' Those delightful birds with their chirp, chirp, chirp and their tweet, tweet, splat.</poem><br />
:''[They pass a dog leaving it's mark on a fire hydrant and two hookers wearing jet packs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Professor, I've never seen you so cheerful. What the hell's wrong with you?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Hmm. I'm not quite sure. Perhaps seeing things from a new perspective has reminded me of life's beauty. Or perhaps my new posture is causing blood to pool in the back of my brain, resulting in a mild delirium. Incidentally, you have a dime up your nose.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': I wish! It's a nickel.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Outside Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant. A new day dawns and Bender passes the picket line wearing a hardhat and carrying a lunchbox. He waves his fist.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Union forever! Lousy scabs! They can't do those things! ''Et cetera''!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I bet watching me bend girders like this turns your legs all rubbery.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Well my legs ''are'' made of rubber. ''[She turns around.]'' And anyway, I am just as strong as you are, Mac.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Oh, yeah? ''[A girder drops into his hands and he holds it out to Angle-ine.]'' Prove it. ''[She takes it and grunts as she tries to bend it. First she tries just with her hands then she puts it across her leg and tries and then she gives in and sighs. Bender stands behind her.]'' Here, let me help you.</poem><br />
:''[He puts his arms around her and together they bend the girder into a heart shape. A few bars of ''Unchained Melody'' play as they gaze into each other's eyes. They lean in and kiss, and sparks fly.]''<br />
:''['''Montage''': Bender and Angle-ine date to American Breed's ''Bend Me, Shape Me''. At a fairground stall, Bender tries to knock down a pile of bottles with a ball but repeatedly misses. Angle-ine looks away in dismay so Bender throws the ball at the man in the stall, knocking him out. He takes a big stuffed pig and gives it to Angle-ine then steals the man's wallet and they run off. Later, they enjoy a boat ride on a lake. Bender's detached arms row the boat and he and Angle-ine cuddle. Still later, they ride a tandem through the park. Fry scoots alongside them using the Professor as a bicycle and Hermes and Zoidberg hold some tape at the finish line. Fry and Farnsworth get ahead and Bender takes a stick out of his chest cabinet and puts it between the spokes of Farnsworth's wheel, causing him and Fry to fly through the air. They land in a lake and Bender laughs as he and Angle-ine cut through the tape.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express: Meeting Room. Farnsworth, Leela, Fry, Zoidberg, Amy and Hermes sit around the table. For some reason everyone except Farnsworth is tied to their chair and Leela's ponytail points to her right.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': My new bent outlook has completely re-energised me. I'm even dating a young Brazilian retired actress.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Alright!</poem><br />
:''[Amy cheers.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Some say I'm robbing the cradle but I say ''she's'' robbing the grave.</poem><br />
:''[Bender wanders in sideways. It turns out the meeting table has been stuck to the wall so Farnsworth can see everyone eye-to-eye.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Howdy, doodies. What's new?</poem><br />
:''[He uses his suction feet to walk up the wall and sit in an empty chair.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': I was just regaling your former co-workers with a tale of bedroom antics, the likes of which--</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Yeah, yeah! Big whoop! No one cares. I got ''Bender''-related news. I'm in love and I'm taking all my friends out to celebrate.</poem><br />
:''[Everyone cheers.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': Let's get liquored up!</poem><br />
:''[Bender walks down to the floor and everyone else falls out of their seats and land in a pile on the floor.]''<br />
:''['''Scene''': Elzar's Fine Cuisine. The evening's special is blackened leftovers. The crew sit around a table and Farnsworth leans against it with his legs behind him.]''<br />
<poem>'''[[Elzar|Elzar]]''': Hey, look at this crowd. You guys ''gotta'' try the pasta. It's got a real nice profit margin. Bam! So, special occasion tonight?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Oh, Elzar, you'll never guess what's happened?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Elzar''': Bam?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I met the most dynamite ladybot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Elzar''': Hey, that's terrific. To celebrate, I'm gonna stick seven copies of my latest cookbook on your bill.</poem><br />
:''[He holds up his book, ''Three More Recipes'' and leaves.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Bless you, sir.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': So, Bender, tell us about this new girlfriend of yours.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I intend to. Through the lost art of the toast. ''[He stands and raises his glass.]'' To Angle-ine, she's got it all. Looks, charm and the love of a fabulous bending robot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': She sure does.</poem><br />
:''[He points across the room. Bender turns and gasps. Flexo and Angle-ine sit at a table laughing.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Flexo!</poem><br />
:''[He picks up a baguette and tries to break it. Elzar walks past at the back of the room.]''<br />
<poem>'''Elzar''': [shouting] Careful, that's a week old!</poem><br />
:''[Bender grunts and the stick breaks, then his arms fall off. He reattaches them and mutters to himself.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I finally meet a nice girl with a pair of legs that don't quit unexpectedly and that jerk Flexo steals her away? It's time to kick some shiny, metal ass. ''[He walks over to their table.]'' You degenerate hussy! I'm disappointed in you too, Angle-ine.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Bender, it's-it's not what you think.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Oh, God! Then it's ''worse'' than I think.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Now, look, there is no reason to be upset. Flexo and I are divorced.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Div-- Huh?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Flexo''': We're just havin' dinner 'cause we wanna stay friends.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Uh, I knew that. What I'm actually outraged by is your choice of wine. Really, it's the steward's fault.</poem><br />
:''[He smacks a passing steward.]''<br />
<poem>'''Steward''': Excellent choice, sir.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express: Lounge. Bender paces backwards and forwards muttering to himself. Fry and Leela sit on the couch and Farnsworth leans against it. Leela reads a book.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [muttering] That Flexo, I'm knockin' him right on his butt. I can't believe this.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Obsessing won't help, Bender. Take a lean back and enjoy life.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I can't. My Fembot may be in love with another Manbot.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Well talk to her. Tell her about your feelings in an open an honest way.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Yeah. Either that or be a man.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Fry's and Bender's Lounge. At dusk, Bender paces around the apartment while Fry trims a plant into the shape of the Planet Express ship.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': OK, I've constructed an elaborate lie: I'll call Angle-ine while pretending to be Flexo, arrange a date, show up disguised as him and catch her two-timing me with myself.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': That's thinkin' like a man.</poem><br />
:''[Bender picks up the phone and dials.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [disguised voice] Hello? This is Flexo.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Outside The Hip Joint. A taxi flies towards the club and Bender gets out. It's Robot Nite and designated device drivers drink free. Bender opens his chest cabinet and sticks a goatee to his chin.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Now we'll see who loves whom.</poem><br />
:''[He cackles and walks in.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': The Hip Joint. Bender looks around and sees Angle-ine at the bar.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Hey, hot stuff.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Hey, Flexo. ''[She hugs him.]'' So since when do you go to bars on work nights? It's not like you at all.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Nonsense. It's exactly like me. Flexo: The fun-loving love machine Fembots love to love. Hey, barkeep, I'll have a Fuzzy Navel and she'll have the girliest drink in the house.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bartender-bot''': Two Fuzzy Navel's comin' up.</poem><br />
:''[Bender takes a wad of cash out of his chest cabinet.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I hope they can make change for a fortune.</poem><br />
:''[He tosses the cash over the bar. On the other side of the bar the Mafiabots watch him.]''<br />
<poem>'''Joey''': Yo. Get an eye-load of that filthy scab with the beard flashing his filthy scab money. It's an insult to you, boss.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': Yeah. That cash oughta be slushin' my fund and kicksing my back.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Clamps''': I'm greasing up my whoozits!</poem><br />
:''[He squirts oil on his clamps.]''<br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': Whoa, whoa, Clamps, not yet. Let's just keep an eye on him and see if he does it a couple more times.</poem><br />
:''[Bender and Angle-ine drink.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': You're lookin' good to Flexo tonight.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Quit makin' with the googly eyes. You know that I'm in love with Bender.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Bender? That walking wuss factory?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Well he may be a walking factory but believe me he is no wuss. Now, look, you and me are through. I told you that when I divorced you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': But going through a divorce together, you can't tell me that didn't bring us closer. Care to dance?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': You know I love dancing but you always hated it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': In that case it's something I've always wanted to make up to you. ''[He puts his hand on hers. On the dancefloor he talks to the DJ-bot.]'' Hey, scratchmo. How 'bout dropping me and the lady some rump-rattling beats?</poem><br />
:''[He takes out his cash and throws it at the DJ-bot. The Mafiabots watch.]''<br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': I had hoped that by the second time he flashed his cash my rage would have subsided. Sadly that has not happened.</poem><br />
:''[Clamps sharpens his clamps. Bender and Angle-ine dance with the other robots.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': You used to be so inflexible, Flexo. You have really loosened up!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I recently upgraded my funk card. C'mon!</poem><br />
:''[He dances.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Alright!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': C'mon now, what's new! ''[His goatee flies off his face and lands on a fat Fembot's behind. Bender carefully removes it.]'' Ew!</poem><br />
:''[He wipes it on his casing.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Flexo? What-What's going on?</poem><br />
:''[Bender laughs weakly and puts the goatee back on his face.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Um...</poem><br />
:''[He grabs Angle-ine and tilts her back and she laughs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Flexo!</poem><br />
:''[The robots dancing on the platforms start to fall apart and they rain on Bender and Angle-ine.]''<br />
:''[Time Lapse. Bender and Angle-ine sit at a table as the janitor sweeps the robot parts off the empty floor.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': So the moral of the story is: If you want it to stay sunk, tie a weight to it!</poem><br />
:''[They laugh.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': [laughing] You always were a kick in the teeth, man.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Aw, shucks, thunder-buns! You make me feel like a million volts.</poem><br />
:''[Angle-ine sighs and stirs her finger around the rim of her glass.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Flexo, Flexo, Flexo. I'm starting to remember why I fell for you in the first place.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [thinking] So, she's falling for Flexo, eh? I'd better seduce her a little more, just to be sure.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Well, it's late. I should get home to my trailer.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I'll walk you out. After all, a true gentleman tends to his date's every need. ''[He takes a cigar out of his chest cabinet.]'' Tiparillo?</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Outside The Hip Joint. Bender and Angle-ine walk out smoking their cigars. Bender hands a valet some money.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Here you are, my lad. Bring the lady's car around in the finest way possible.</poem><br />
:''['''Cut to''': Mafiabot Car. The mobbots watch.]''<br />
<poem>'''Joey''': He's flashin' his cash loaf again.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': How many times is that? Two or three?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Clamps''': Three.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': Alright. That's the necessary number of times. That scab's gonna have a little on-the-job accident.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Joey''': With all due respect, Donbot, I don't think we should rely on an accident happening. Let's kill him ourselves.</poem><br />
:''[Donbot groans.]''<br />
:''['''Cut to''': Outside The Hip Joint. Angle-ine stands by her car.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine'': Well, goodnight. I-I had a great time.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': How 'bout a lift? To ''your'' place.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': What?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Admit it. You felt something for me tonight. And by "me" I mean ''Flexo''.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine'': Hey, look, I had fun, but--</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': But?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine'': But--</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': ''But''?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': [gasping] But... ''[They kiss. They pull their heads away and Bender sees his goatee has stuck to her face. She pulls it off.]'' Huh? Bender! You tricked me.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': That's right, baby. I ain't your lover boy, Flexo, the guy you love so much. You even love anybody ''pretending'' to be him.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Well maybe I love you so much I love you no matter who you're pretending to be.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Oh, how I wish I could believe or understand that! There's only one reasonable course of action now: Kill Flexo. ''[He punches his knuckles together.]'' Ow!</poem><br />
:''[He takes Angle-ine's car and flies away. She runs after him to the edge of the platform.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': [screaming] Nooo!</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant. Flexo hums as he bends girders. Bender walks in and pushes Flexo.]''<br />
<poem>'''Flexo''': Thanks, I appreciate that. ''[He laughs.]'' Nah, I'm joshing you. That was quite annoying.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': You call yourself divorced? You're making a mockery of one of our oldest institutions.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Flexo''': What?</poem><br />
:''[Bender punches him and they start fighting. In a control room above, the mobbots watch. Clamps operates a set of controls that hold a large unbendable girder above the factory floor.]''<br />
<poem>'''Clamps''': Alright, boss, give the word and I'll drop this unbendable girder. Clamp, clamp, ka-bamp!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': Remember, only kill the one with the beard. That other filthy scab we got nothing against.</poem><br />
:''[Clamps moves the girder and Flexo pushes Bender against a wall. Bender opens Flexo's door and punches the roof of his chest cabinet. Flexo groans.]''<br />
<poem>'''Flexo''': That's low!</poem><br />
:''[Angle-ine runs around the corner.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Please stop! I'm not worth it!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Probably not. But I love you and I'm gonna kick his ass till I win you back.</poem><br />
:''[He pushes Flexo into the middle of the room and Clamps moves the girder again. Flexo starts choking Bender.]''<br />
<poem>'''Donbot''': [from control room] OK, Clamps. Now!</poem><br />
:''[The girder drops and Bender and Flexo fall to the floor. Angle-ine screams and the mobbots look through the window.]''<br />
<poem>'''Clamps''': Ooh, that's gotta clamp!</poem><br />
:''[Flexo has been crushed under the girder. Angle-ine kneels by him.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': Flexo? Are you OK?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Flexo''': Yeah, never better. ''[He coughs up oil.]'' Nah, I'm yankin' your chain, I'm dying.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': You can't die. Tonight Bender showed me that I love you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': But, ''I'' love you.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': I know and I care for you too. But I could never love anyone as much as you made me realise I love Flexo.</poem><br />
:''[She hugs Flexo and cries.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': But ... but... ''[He sighs.]'' I love you so much, Angle-ine, I want you to be happy no matter what.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': What, what are you saying?</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I'm saying I've got an unbendable girder to bend.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': You can't bend that girder. It's unbendable!</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Well I don't know anything about lifting, so that just leaves us the one option.</poem><br />
:''[He grunts as he tries to bend the girder. He stops and takes some BENDGAY out of his chest cabinet. He rubs it on his hands and arms and tries bending again. Oil dribbles down his forehead, his door pops off and his antenna explodes but he finally manages to bend the girder away from Flexo's head. Flexo waddles out from under it and shakes Bender's hand.]''<br />
<poem>'''Flexo''': Thanks, buddy. Another year under that and I'd have been a goner.</poem><br />
:''[Angle-ine hugs Bender.]''<br />
<poem>'''Angle-ine''': I'll always remember this, Bender.</poem><br />
:''[She hugs Flexo and Bender wipes a tear away from his eye.]''<br />
<poem>'''Bender''': [crying] Me too. Me too. ''[talking]'' Jerk.</poem><br />
:''['''Scene''': Planet Express: Lounge. The staff sit around the table.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': So Flexo and Angle-ine had sex right there on the factory floor? Well, at least you got bending out of your system.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': Yes. I won't be up to bending again for a long, long time.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Perhaps it's your outlook that needs a good bend. A 90-degree bend to a place where happiness is perpendicular to wonderment.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Fry''': Professor, we're all sick of your upbeat attitude.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Amy''': I'll say.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Zoidberg''': Believe it.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': Nonsense. It's just like in the song I wrote:<br />
(singing) We all need a new angle on life,<br />
You gotta bend away all your trouble and your strife,</poem><br />
:''[Leela sighs.]''<br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Bender, you've gotta help us.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I try to get out but they keep pulling me back in.</poem><br />
:''[He stands up and rolls up his sleeves.]''<br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': [singing] You gotta dangle,<br />
Have a new angle,<br />
Wangle a new dangle on life,</poem><br />
:''[Bender bends him and he screams. He has bent right over backwards.]''<br />
<poem>'''Amy''': No, Bender! The other way.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': I like him better this way.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Farnsworth''': I'm sad now.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Leela''': Eh, it's fine.</poem><br />

'''"Scratchmo"''' was the disc jockey who provided music during Robot Nite at [[The Hip Joint]]. After [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] (disguised as [[Flexo]]) asked [[Angle-ine]] to dance with him, he approached Scratchmo and asked the DJ to play music that they could both dance to {{et|3ACV06}}. Scratchmo was bribed with money that Bender had earned being a scab at the [[Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant|bending plant]], which inflamed the rage of the [[Donbot]].<br />
<br />
== Additional info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The real name of the DJ is never learned. "Scratchmo" is a nickname which Bender gives when he is bribing the DJ.<br />
*"Scratchmo" is a portmanteau of "scratch", which is to move a vinyl record back and forth on a turntable, and "Satchmo", the nickname of jazz legend {{w|Louis Armstrong}}.<br />

'''''Mom v. Farnsworth and Cubert''''' was a case in which [[Mom]], [[Walt]], [[Larry]], and [[Igner]] accused [[Farnsworth]] and [[Cubert]] of breaking the license agreement on their [[Bending Unit]], [[Bender]]. It was held at [[Famous Original Ray's Superior Court]] with the Honourable [[Judge Whitey]] presiding. Mom's prosecution was the [[Yellow and red lawyer]], and [[Hyper-Chicken]] defended Farnsworth and Cubert.<br />
<br />
After Yellow and red lawyer presented his evidence, Judge Whitey asked Farnsworth and Cubert if they could produce the bending unit in question, which they could not. Due to this, Judge Whitey held Farnsworth and Cubert in contempt and fined them ten-thousand dollars per-day until they could produce the robot.<br />
<br />
After Hyper-Chicken failed to presented any mitigating factors to recommend leniency, the jury began its deliberations. However, after the deliberations began, Bender appeared as a witness, testifying on behalf of Farnsworth and Cubert. However, Yellow and red lawyer objected to this surprise witness, because "He's too surprising." Judge Whitey sustained the objection, because testimony had already closed. Afterwards, Bender let Mom overhear that the jury might not want to convict a 12 year-old. Due to this, Mom dropped the charges against Cubert before the verdict was read. Then, right before the verdict was about to be read, Bender called for a mistrial on grounds of double jeopardy, for the reason that Cubert and Farnsworth were clones, and therefor, the same person. Therefore, the case was dismissed.<br />

At [[11-Worth Variable-Security Prison|a maximum-security prison]], [[Bender]] meets [[Silicon Red|a famous folk singer]] and attempts to make a copy of [[Salmonella|his precious guitar]].<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
<br />
=== Act I: "Don't come back 'til you've lived a life worth singin' about!" ===<br />
<br />
The Planet Express Discount Prisoner Transfer crew are transferring Dr. Brutaloff, a super villan with Freddy Kruger-style finger-knives, to Elevenworth Variable Security Prison. A Hans Solo-style block of frozen carbonite encases Brutaloff. Conveying this cargo to its final destination, Bender spies Silicon Red, "the universe's greatest folk singer" at the prisoner discharge office, retrieving his belongings and preparing to depart. Bender suddenly remembers his "lifelong dream of being a folk singer" and abandons Fry to chase down Silicon Red. As soon as Bender leaves, Brutaloff escapes from the carbonite, beats Fry up, and freezes Fry back into the carbonite up to his neck.<br />
<br />
Bender catches up to Silicon Red and takes a picture of Red's guitar, with the intention of using a 3-D printer to create a perfect duplicate. With this duplicate, Bender believes he will be a "famous folk singer". Dr. Beeler finds the image of the duplicated guitar in Bender's file system. He then turns a crank in Bender's compartment of mystery that causes Bender's components to wirelessly transmit the image to the printer. Bender can next be found walking around Planet Express wearing a flannel shirt and playing his duplicated guitar.<br />
<br />
Fry, mostly encased in carbonite after being attacked by Dr. Brutaloff, begins at this point to make periodic sarcastic comments to complain of Bender's mistreatment of him at the prison.<br />
<br />
When the crew tell Bender that he doesn't know enough about folk music to be successful, he explains his analysis of "every folk song in the universe": bad-hearted woman cheats on her good man with a rambler. Bender uses this as a formula for creating his own folk songs. He crashes a performance by Silicon Red and performs one of his songs while Red is distracted, billing himself as "Ramblin' Rodriguez". The audience hates it, and Red explains that Bender's song is insincere. He sends Bender away and says, "Don't come back 'til you've lived a life worth singin' about!"<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I've never worked on anything all the livelong day, let alone a railroad." ===<br />
<br />
Fry is still making biting comments about Bender's abandonment, as when Leela echoes Silicon Red: "You can't write a real folk song about experiences you haven't had." Fry interjects, "You should write a song about a heartless robot who leaves his best friend to be murdered!" Bender continues to ignore him, and Fry becomes increasingly agitated. Bender follows Zoidberg's suggestion to go work on "the railroad" in order to have the experiences necessary to be a folk singer. In the Rusty Rail, a bar on "the wrong side of the tracks," Bender meets Big Caboose, "a steel-drivin' man workin' the Trans-Universal line." Bender sees Big Caboose, who actually a robot, not a man, as exactly the kind of exciting personality that can be used in a good folk song. Caboose protests that he is nothing special.<br />
<br />
As Caboose introduces Bender to his colorful acquaintances, Bender takes notes so he can use these people as characters in his song. At the work site, Bender's job is to lead the singing of the laborers and drink cocktails. After living this grueling life for a while, he begins to create his song. By the time Fry and Leela arrive at Bender's railroad camp to deliver explosives, Bender's song includes the main character, the Jezebel, and the rambler whom she runs to. Fry is still angry at Bender, and when he makes a mean comment, Bender adds a verse for him. It tells how Bender needs help to escape the angry Caboose, but Fry, still holding a grudge, sends him away. Fry gives credit where credit is due, responding, "You have accurately portrayed the nature of my grievance."<br />
<br />
Bender is just adding the verse where his main character begins his quest to avenge himself on the rambler when Caboose bursts in and eagerly introduces Bender to his new fiancee. She flings herself at Bender as soon as Caboose leaves the room. Bender and the fiancee have sex, which inspires him to add another verse to his song. Foreshadowing later developments, the fiancee reveals that her name is Jezebel. Bender sees this as a lucky coincidence, not realizing its significance.<br />
<br />
While Fry and Leela hang out at Fry's house, Caboose, who was last seen near the railroad camp far from Earth, bursts in the door with a shotgun in his hands saying that he is here to shoot Bender down for sleeping with Jezebel. At this point, Fry and Leela realize that Bender's song is also playing out in real life. Back at camp, Bender has the idea for his hero to run over the rambler with a train, rather than shooting him. When Bender has this thought, his transmitter sends a train image from Bender's file system to the 3-D printer, and the printer begins to fabricate a train. Just as Bender is saying goodbye to Jezebel, Big Caboose crashes through the wall in the train from the printer and tells Bender that he has come to run him down.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "That steel-driving moron killed a duplicate instead of me." ===<br />
<br />
Caboose follows as Bender flees all the way to Earth, all the way to the apartment he shares with Fry. He bangs on the door and begs to be let in, but Fry mocks him, reminding him of the verse he had added to the song for Fry. Bender flees to Planet Express with Caboose not far behind. He finds Fry, Leela, and Farnsworth trying to locate him. Bender is confused to see Fry, given that Fry had just mocked him at their apartment in his underwear, but decides to put off thinking about it. Leela explains that his song is coming true, and Bender finally realizes that he is transmitting his thoughts to the 3-D printer, resulting in duplicates even of people, such as the ''duplicate'' Fry who mocked Bender at their apartment.<br />
<br />
After some brief trouble with a band of giant octopuses, Leela realizes that Bender can "write his way out of" the problem. Fearing for Bender's safety, Leela suggests that Bender make up any old ending that saves him from Caboose. Bender refuses on the grounds of artistic integrity, as he still wishes to create "the best folk song in the universe". Just as he begins to add the next verse to his song, Caboose appears in his train and runs Bender down. At Bender's memorial service, it is revealed that this is not really Bender, but a duplicate fabricated by the 3-D printer. The real Bender arrives and sings the rest of his song, explaining that during the octopus trouble, he made a duplicate of himself with a fatal weakness that the real Bender doesn't have: artistic integrity. Bender and Silicon Red decide to sell out, and they are last seen performing a rap concert.<br />

=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is the only episode of the tenth broadcast season not to be featured in the [[Vulture preview clip]].<br />
*The episode's [[list of title captions|title caption]] is similar to that of "[[The Route of All Evil]]".<br />
*Dr. Ben Beeler is named after ''Futurama'' writer [[Ken Keeler]], who wrote this episode. Dr. Beeler also appeared in another episode written by Keeler, "[[Overclockwise]]", but he did not speak.<br />
*Part of the {{w|source code|code}} in the guitar's formula for mass production reads "thankMakerBot". According to [[Commentary:Forty Percent Leadbelly|the commentary]], the Make-O-Matic was modelled after {{w|MakerBot#Thing-O-Matic|a 3D printer}} that the {{cat|s=no|crew|''Futurama'' crew}} had in the office, which Patric Verrone bought from [[Old New York|New York]]'s {{w|MakerBot Industries}}.<br />
*Bender's porn drive has a memory size of 100,000 terabytes and his main drive has the memory size of only 1 terabyte.<br />
**In ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', which was also written by Keeler, the [[Scammer Aliens|scammers]] delete 50 terabytes of porn from Bender.<br />
*This episode confirms [[Dandy Jim]]'s name, which was first used in a [[Volume Three]] menu.<ref>{{cite dvd|volume=Three|disc=4|where=Special Features > Still Gallery}}</ref><br />
*When Bender and Jezebel begin making out, a train goes into a tunnel, a metaphor for {{w|sexual penetration}}.<br />
*Bender is wrong, "octopi" is not a true plural form of "octopus" and originates from a misconception on Latin pluralization rules.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/octopus|title=octopus: definition of octopus in Oxford dictionary (British & World English)|site={{w|Oxford English Dictionary}}|accessdate=2013-7-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chambers.co.uk/search.php?query=octopus&title=21st|title=Search Chambers - Free English Dictionary|site={{w|Chambers Dictionary}}|accessdate=2013-7-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/octopus?showCookiePolicy=true|title=Definition of octopus|site={{w|Collins English Dictionary}}|accessdate=2013-7-13}}</ref><br />
*The Bender duplicate says that his audience deserves better than some crappy, formulaic ending. This may be a reference to the fact that Ken Keeler wrote [[Meanwhile|the finale]].<br />
*Ramblin' Rodriguez's birth year is given as [[2996]]. This may be Bender's "birth" year, making Bender 16 or 17 at the time of his "death".<br />

=== Allusions ===<br />
{{cultural mentions}}<br />
*The episode's plotline, involving Bender's folk-songs becoming reality, is a riff on {{w|Philip K. Dick}}'s short story, "{{w|What'll We Do with Ragland Park?}}", where the titular character is a folk singer whose songs, unbeknownst to him, become reality after he performs them.<br />
*The episode's title is a reference to [[Bender's composition|a running gag]] that has Bender claim to be 40% of something that keeps changing and the late [[American]] {{cat|musician}} {{w|Lead Belly}}. In [[Futurama (video game)|the game]], Bender is 40% lead.<br />
*[[Dr. Brutalov]]'s finger knives may be a reference to the claws of the {{cat|superheroe|superhero}} {{w|Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine}} or the glove worn by the primary antagonist of the ''{{w|A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise)|A Nightmare on Elm Street}}'' film series, {{w|Freddy Krueger}}.<br />
*When Bender declares that he will duplicate the guitar, [[Silicon Red]] states that "with all Salmonella and me been through, her sound is unique". This may be a reference to {{w|Stradivarius}} violins, as no modern copy has been able to truly replicate their "perfect" sound.<br />
*On Bender's desktop, there is an image of a {{cat|cat}} hanging on to a {{cat|tree}} branch with "HANG IN THERE, DUMBASS" written on it, a reference to the "{{w|hang in there, Baby}}" poster.<br />
*Fry is trapped in a block of carbonite, a reference to the ''[[Star Wars]]'' franchise. {{sw|Han Solo}} was also trapped in carbonite in ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}''.<br />
*[[T.G.I. Folky's]] is a reference to the restaurant chain [[T.G.I. Friday's]].<br />
*The name of Bender's song, "The Ballad of Me, Ramblin' Rodriguez", may be a reference to [[English]] musician {{w|Frank Turner}}'s song "{{w|Sleep Is for the Week|The Ballad of Me and My Friends}}". It's also a reference to Bender's [[catchphrase]] "[[me, Bender]]".<br />
*The name Ramblin' Rodriguez may be a reference to one of the following.<br />
**Folk singer {{w|Ramblin' Jack Elliott}}.<br />
**{{w|Ramblin' Rod}}, a children's-show host from series creator [[Matt Groening]]'s home town of {{w|Portland, Oregon|Portland}}, [[Oregon]].<br />
**The [[1962]] song "{{w|Ramblin' Rose}}".<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The [[Awesome Express]] uniforms, from "[[The Route of All Evil]]", appear once again.<br />
*Bender's dream of being a folk singer was established in "[[The Series Has Landed]]", which was also written by Ken Keeler.<br />
*Fry previously did karate in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]".<br />
*Bender's address bar reads "C:\BENDER_2716057". 2716057 is Bender's serial number, established in "[[The Lesser of Two Evils]]".<br />
*When Dr. Beeler accesses Bender's main drive in his file system, two folders can be seen within it, "Main Personality" and "Penguin Personality", a reference to when Bender was rebooted in penguin mode in "[[The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz]]". <br />
**Funnily enough, his main personality file has a memory size of 3 MB, whereas his penguin personality has a memory size of 150 MB.<br />
**A few penguins attend Bender's funeral later in the episode.<br />
*The [[prism railroad]] previously appeared in "[[The 30% Iron Chef]]".<br />
*The front door to [[Apartment 00100100|Fry and Bender's apartment]] no longer contains the main cupboard for Bender, from "[[I, Roommate]]", at the opening. This means the main {{cat|apartment}} is no longer just a "closet" and simply ''is'' the apartment.<br />
*[[Leela]] refers to a phone as a cell phone telephone, as she and Bender did in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />
*The funeral dresses that Leela and [[Amy]] wear are the ones from "[[The Sting]]".<br />
*The [[Wong Hotel & Casino]] has got a strike through "Wong", possibly because the [[Martians]] took it over in "[[Viva Mars Vegas]]".<br />
*Bender previously rapped during the end credits for "[[Free Will Hunting]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When [[Planet Express ship|the ship]] lands at the {{cat|prison}}, [[Planet Express crew|the crew]] is already at the door.<br />
**[[Planet Express ship#The autopilot|The autopilot]] may have been on.<br />
*When everyone is at T.G.I. Folky's, [[Hermes]] doesn't have a pipe in the first shot but later on he does.<br />
*In the scene where Bender is lying in bed with Jezebel, the left sleeve of his shirt isn't outlined.<br />
*In the scene where Fry and Leela are watching [[TV]] in Fry and Bender's apartment, the shot depicting the television set is clearly the one used for the {{Planet Express|employee lounge}}.<br />
*Leela states that Big Caboose, Duplicate Fry, and [[Cookie]] are simply creations from Bender's song, but Bender met Big Caboose and Cookie before he wrote the song.<br />
**She is referring to the Big Caboose that was in the apartment. She may also be saying that she met Cookie herself, sometime after Bender presumably wrote him into his song.<br />
*Dr. Beeler says that a duplicate was created as a decoy in ''[[Star Trek]]: {{st|The Next Generation}}'', but, in "[[Where No Fan Has Gone Before]]", ''Star Trek'' had been outlawed.<br />

The '''Wheel of Robots''' is a big prize wheel located in [[Robot Hell]]. It contains the names of every [[robot]] in the universe. The [[Robot Devil]] used it to pick a robot at random to remove his hands and switch them for [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s.<br />
<br />
Robot Devil spins the wheel so fast it's not easy to see the names of the robots but they are actual robots who have appeared in the show. The producers made sure they weren't robots like "Cleaning Robot" that appeared for a second.<ref name="com-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings |volume=Four |disc=4}}</ref><br />
<br />
When the episode is watched frame-by-frame closely, the Robot Devil's name is seen at the very start of the spin AND the very end, which implies that only the characters listed below are on the wheel at all, especially considering the size of the wheel itself. It would seem then that not every robot in the universe is on it, but only ones Fry may have personally encountered at one point, which would be quite fitting for the Robot Devil given his guarantee that Fry "definitely probably" won't know the robot he is about to switch with.<br />
<br />
== Characters on the Wheel of Robots ==<br />
:Names in ''italics'' are robots who have one or no hands to switch with Fry. However, this could be a way the Robot Devil could have cheated Fry.<br />
*It was implied that the wheel was supposed to land on Bender.<br />

<div>[[File:Audience.png|thumb|right|The audience scene (larger scale image appearing further down).]]<br />
The '''audience scene''' near the end of ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' is famous in its undertaken of the creators trying to insert ''all'' adult characters which had made an appearance on the show so far.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
[[David X. Cohen]] began hinting at the scene in interviews prior to the film's release. While its intention may not be entirely obvious, it may simply boil down to being a 'cool' thing to do, if this was indeed the last ''[[Futurama]]'' they ever did.<ref name="com-fITWGY-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |film=Into the Wild Green Yonder}}</ref> Due to the excessive amount of characters appearing in one picture, and each requiring individual drawing (since they could not simply be inserted with the "[[people hose]]"), the animation company, [[Rough Draft Studios]], had to fine the production company, [[The Curiosity Company]], for the extra time it had to take.<ref name="com-fITWGY-dxc"/><br />

<div>{{species infobox<br />
|name=Bending units<br />
|image=[[File:Olympic grade benders (male).png|225px]]<br />
|image text=Olympic grade benders<br />
|homeworld=<br />
|first appear={{e|1ACV01}}<br />
}}<br />
<br />
'''Bending units''' are [[robots]] built by [[MomCorp|Mom's Friendly Robot Company]] for the main purpose of bending metal for constructive purposes. Like many devices of the [[20th century]], however, these robots have many capabilities aside from their main function, and other robots, such as [[Robo-Rooter]], are capable of bending while having other primary functions. <br />
<br />
== Variations and cost ==<br />
<br />
Purpose built benders are known to come in many varieties; model #22 for instance has at least two finish colour options: gold and fog hat grey. These units are assembled by [[Bender's mother|robotic arms]]. While at least 994 models of bending unit exist, the only unit with a confirmed model number is the aptly named model #22 unit [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]], who, like units of most of the other first 994 models, has been recalled. These robots most likely come in so many varieties to provide higher quality additional features to different industries, and to allow the customer to choose more compact or higher powered models, and choice depends on whether the item needing bending is a wire hanger, an [[Unbendable girder|"unbendable" girder]], or something in-between.<br />
<br />
Bending units are fairly inexpensive; the overall price is a meager $19.95, you can buy one for $30, then there's a $10 rebate and when you're done with it you can turn in the head for the 5 cent deposit. Of course, while a bending unit can be owned, others are free to wander the streets, vote, and be charged and jailed for crime.<br />
<br />
[[File:Olympic grade benders (female).png|thumb|left|[[Fembot|Female]] bending units.]]<br />
<br />
== Genders ==<br />
As with most robot classes, there are both [[manbot|male]] and [[fembot|female]] bending units. The main difference between the two is the type of oil used, and the apparent design of the robots to emulate the [[humans|human]] sexes (i.e. fembots tend to have long eyelashes, higher voices, and a somewhat more feminine physique than manbots).<br />
<br />
Female bending units are much weaker than male, and they have a separate class in the [[Olympics]] for bending. Working female bending units generally bend simpler constructions, such as clothes hangers, leaving the heavier work to the males.<br />
<br />
== Functions ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Bending Unit construction.png|thumb|[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|A bending unit]] is constructed on the assembly line.]]<br />
[[File:Bending School.png|thumb|All bending units are programmed into the art of bending in a "Bending School" in the assembly line.]]<br />
<br />
While a bending unit's main function is to bend girders, they can also have many secondary functions, either from when they were originally built, or from being installed or learned afterward. A list of some possible secondary functions are listed [[Bender Bending Rodriguez#Bender's Functions, Attachments, and Accessories|here]].<br />
<br />
Like many [[robot]]s, bending units have seemingly [[humans|human]] features in their personality. While [[Bender]] has argued that they do not have feelings, major anecdotal evidence has proved this wrong, and they even seem capable of love, both of other robots and [[robosexuality|of humans]]. They do not, however, have a sense of taste. Despite their lack of a sense of taste, in "[[Benderama]]", [[Bender]] chugged a bathtub full of water converted to alcohol. He remarked that it tasted "like fine cogniac with a hint of aged scrotum," This, however, could have been a joke. Like other robots, bending units need [[alcohol]] to function, or they will break down, similarly to the human behavior when ''drinking'' alcohol. Bending units also seem to have a generally abusive personality, easily falling into abuse of [[tobacco]], [[electricity]] and partying.<br />
<br />
== Construction ==<br />
<br />
Bending units are built on an assembly line in a factory, with the mechanical arms gaining the role as their "mother". <br />
<br />
They go through different stages as they move along the line, starting out as small, baby-like robots and growing into adult-sized units, with the aid of the mechanical arms. While they are in their baby stage, they must be inspected to make sure that there are free of defects, and if they do have a defect, the unit must be recycled {{et|6ACV06}}.<br />
<br />
=== Profession programming ===<br />
After their body is in the finalized, adult stage, they are programmed into the art of bending by inputting data from a computer by the "Bending School". After this, their mind grows out of their baby stage and they are able to speak properly like adults - they are complete.<br />

*[[Bender Bending Rodríguez]], model #22<br />
*[[Flexo]]<br />
*[[Billy West (character)|Billy West]]<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*In "[[Attack of the Killer App]]" it is revealed by [[Flexo]] that bending units are dangerously outdated. They overheat, they are {{w|radioactive}} and they cause {{w|erectile dysfunction}}.<br />
* The basic model is represented as a [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|primary]] and [[Flexo|secondary]] character. A [[Billy West (robot)|tertiary]] character is built with an identical casing and voice, but is supposedly not a bending unit.<br />
<br />
=== Quotes ===<br />
{{q|<br />
<poem>'''[[Professor Farnsworth|Prof. Farnsworth]]''': Your standard bending unit is made of an iron-osmium alloy. But Bender was different. Bender had a point-04% nickel impurity.<br />
'''Bender''': [crying] It's what made me me.</poem><br />
<poem>'''Bender''': It's hopeless. We might as well turn in my head for the five cent deposit.<br />

<br />
The '''100th-delivery party''' was celebrated in [[3010]], during the [[Devolution Revolution]], in the [[Planet Express headquarters]] by {{Bender}}, its organizer, and [[#Guests|other people he invited to it]]. {{er|6ACV12}} It commemorated the one-hundredth delivery of the [[Planet Express]] company, a soufflé [[Mrs. Astor]] had ordered from [[Elzar's Fine Cuisine]].<br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
When [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] announced that the [[Planet Express crew]] had been hired to make their 100th delivery, Bender planned on throwing a party with 100 cakes, a 100 [[Hookerbots|hookers]] and 100 [[Elvis Presley|Elvis]] impersonators. After delivering a soufflé to Mrs. Astor, they were invited to the [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser]]. Bender stayed at the [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]] to prepare the party.<br />
<br />
As Bender was serving [[Michael Collins Mix]], he realized that [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] weren't in the building, so he figured he didn't need to wait for them and decided to get the party started. A lot of characters from [[Episode listing|earlier episodes]] had been invited, the [[DJ Robot]] was playing "The Boogie That Be" by {{w|The Black Eyed Peas}} and both the hookers and the Elvis impersonators were there. The party seemed to be going well.<br />
<br />
However, Bender ended up feeling lonely, as he was starting to miss his friends, who had been sentenced to two weeks in the [[NNY Sewers]] for harboring [[Turanga Leela|a mutant]]. As a result, he stopped the party and kicked everyone out of the building. Later, Fry would return to the surface to pick him up, so the [[Westside Pipeway]] could be bent. After the [[Sewer Mutants]] had been granted their freedom, the crew went back to the headquarters. Despite the 100th-delivery party having been the greatest party ever and Bender being partied out, they had another one... with "Bend It" by {{w|Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich}}.<br />
<br />

'''Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant''' is a facility focusing on the bending of metal by [[Bending Units]]. The company was previously run by [[Sal]], who has probably gone off to another blue collar job by now.<br />
<br />
After being fired from [[Planet Express]] for having an uncontrolled bend-lust, [[Bender Bending Rodríguez]] decided to take a job at the Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant, while a strike was going on at the plant. The robots were striking against the company for hiring scabs at ten times minimum wage and effectively putting all the striking robots out of a job.<br />
<br />
The [[Robot Mafia]], however, were in support of the striking robots. When they discovered Bender, disguised as [[Flexo]], repeatedly flashing his scab money at [[The Hip Joint]], [[Donbot]] decided that it was time to give Flexo a little on-the-job accident.<br />
<br />
Sure enough, later the same day, [[Clamps]] dropped an [[unbendable girder]] on top of the real Flexo. Bender, meanwhile, being emotionally linked with [[Angle-ine]], discovered that she truly cared about Flexo, and decided to help Flexo out of his misery to make Angle-ine happy. Bender afterwards went back to work at Planet Express after having gotten bending out of his system.<br />

[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] evolves into a [[god]]like being after vastly increasing his processing power.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
=== Act I: "Don't you ever wonder about the future?" ===<br />
<!--[[File:Overclockwise 1.png|left|thumb|[[Turanga Leela|Leela]] in the [[Planet Express balcony]].]]--><br />
[[Cubert]] overclocks [[Bender]] to improve his performance while playing an online game. [[Walt]], [[Larry]], and [[Igner]] are defeated by Bender and complain to [[Mom]], who sues both Cubert and [[Professor Farnsworth]] for overclocking Bender, which is a violation of Bender's contract of ownership. She also sends an army of robots to capture Bender so he can be reset to his original, slower programming. Due to his heightened intelligence caused by his overclocking, Bender begins processing countless books and hooks himself to a water cooler to prevent himself from overheating. He then steals the processing chips of Mom's robots, increasing his capacities even further before leaving Planet Express to find a new, larger coolant.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I really shouldn't agree to things I don't understand, but I'm slightly thirsty." ===<br />
<!--[[File:Overclockwise 2.png|left|thumb|[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] in the [[Planet Express employee lounge]].]]--><br />
During [[Mom v. Farnsworth|their trial]], Farnsworth and Cubert are ordered to bring in Bender as evidence of their contract violation, and are forced to pay $10,000 every day until Bender is found. With [[Planet Express]] running out of business, [[Leela]], weary of her on-again, off-again relationship with [[Fry]], decides to leave Planet Express. Heartbroken, Fry attempts to commit suicide by going over {{w|Niagara Falls}} in a barrel. There, he discovers [[Niagara Falls Hydroelectric Plant|a cave]] behind the falls where Bender has developed into an omnipotent being capable of foreseeing the future, using the falls as his new cooling system. Fry tries to convince Bender to help Farnsworth and Cubert, but Bender refuses, unconcerned with their troubles and predicting that they will be found guilty. Fry then asks Bender what his future with Leela would be like if they came together, after which Bender gives him a sad look and tells him to leave, saying nothing about Leela.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "We've had some tough times, but at least we won a Tony!" ===<br />
<!--[[File:Overclockwise 3.png|left|thumb|[[Lord Nibbler|Nibbler]] in the [[Planet Express conference room]].]]--><br />
After Fry returns to Farnsworth and Cubert's trial, Bender has a change of heart and appears in court, accusing Mom of unfairly trying Cubert, a minor. Fearing that Cubert will gain the jury's sympathy, Mom drops charges against Cubert while still attempting to sue Farnsworth. However, Bender declares that by dropping charges against Farnsworth's clone, she is unable to press charges against Farnsworth for the same crime because he and Cubert are technically the same person. Enraged that she is unable to sue Farnsworth, Mom captures Bender and has him reset to his original programming, returning him to normal. Leela also returns to Fry, who still wonders what the future holds for him and Leela. Bender reveals that he had written down his prediction of their future, which Fry and Leela silently read together. The two don't reveal to the viewer exactly what the prediction says, but their facial expressions indicate that they will have their ups and downs, and will ultimately have a happy ending. At appearing in court, he may have decreased processing power by not being at the waterfall, or the intimate prediction about Leela and Fry may have capped his processing power, or both, which resulted in him being unable to take extra commands to predict the coming of Mom's robots.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
"Overclockwise" was originally planned to be the season finale of [[season 6]], but it was later moved to the penultimate episode to make "[[Reincarnation]]" the finale. As "Reincarnation" is a non-[[canon]] [[segmented episode]], however, "Overclockwise" is seen as the "proper" season finale. The episode was written in [[2010]], before the series had been renewed for [[season 7|another season]], and much like "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]" and ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'', "Overclockwise" was written as if it were the last episode ever of ''Futurama''. As such, [[Ken Keeler]] was once again in charge of the writing, making this his third "last episode ever" for the series.<ref name="ugo-dxc-interview-lastepisode">{{cite web |url=http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-david-x-cohen-interview |title=Exclusive: Futurama Creator Spills on Special Last, Last Episode! |publisher=UGO |author=Zalben, Alex |date=2010-06-22 |accessdate=2010-06-22 |quote=Now I will say at this point, having written the last episode for FOX, and the last DVD for the DVD releases, and now being back again, and being pretty far along in production, we’re the show with the most experience in writing our last episode ever. We’re getting good at it – we’re doing our third one that we’re actually working on here at the moment – they’ve all been written by Ken Keeler, I should mention, who is writing his third last episode ever. |quote author={{n|Cohen|David|X.}}}}</ref><br />
<br />
During June 2011, ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' released four items of promotional material for the episode: [[concept art]] of the interior of transfigured [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]'s head on 7 June, concept art of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]'s character in ''[[World of World War II 3]]'' on 8 June, part of [[Storyboard:Overclockwise|the storyboard]] showing [[Mom's sons]] release [[hoverfish]] on 9 June, and a video clip featuring Fry talking to the transfigured Bender on 20 June.<br />
<br />

== Reception ==<br />
In its original U.S. broadcast on 1 September, 2011, "Overclockwise" scored a 0.8 share among adults aged 18-49, and 1.571 million total viewers.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2011/09/02/thursday-cable-even-jersey-shore-repeats-cant-be-beaten-burn-notice-suits-project-runway-lots-more/102335/|title=Thursday Cable: Even 'Jersey Shore' Repeats Can't Be Beaten; 'Burn Notice,' 'Suits,' 'Project Runway' & Lots More|author=Gorman, Bill|date=2011-09-02|site={{w|TV by the Numbers}}|accessdate=2011-09-2}}</ref> Both numbers were up compared to the previous week's broadcast of "[[Cold Warriors]]".<br />
<br />
== Additional information ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*The episode is among the few [[one-word titled media]].<br />
*It was written as the last episode because the show hadn't been renewed at the time of the writing.<br />
*This is one of four episodes of broadcast season 8 to be broadcast in production order. The other three are "[[Fry Am the Egg Man]]", "[[Cold Warriors]]" and "[[Reincarnation]]".<br />
*This episode marks the first time that [[Randy Munchnik]] is referred to by name.<br />
*This is the first episode written by [[Ken Keeler]] in which [[Dr. Ben Beeler|Ben Beeler]], who was named after Keeler, appears.<br />
*The Region 4 version of [[Volume 6]] lists this episode as "Over Clock Wise".<br />
*When Cubert modifies Bender's hardware, his reflection can be seen on Bender's bottom plate, showing that Bender does, in fact, have a [[bite my shiny metal ass|shiny metal ass]].<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
[[File:Korean girls 1.png|right|thumb|The poster of [[Mom]] is very similar to that of a classic {{w|Farrah Fawcett}} photo.]]<br />
*The X-Cube 360 is a parody of {{w|Xbox 360}} (including Kinect) and {{w|Nintendo GameCube}}.<br />
*''[[World of World War II 3]]'' is a parody of games that combines online {{w|FPS}}es such as ''{{w|Call of Duty: World at War}}'' and {{w|MMORPG}}s with advanced motion-sensing controls. World War II is often seen as an overused setting for war videogames.<br />
*The Game Over screen plays a bit of classical {{cat|s=no|music}} that gets interrupted by an explosion, which echoes the Game Over screen for the classic arcade game ''{{w|Battlezone (1980 video game)|Battlezone}}''.<br />
*[[Bender]] says that he is 12 years out of date, which is a reference to ''Futurama''{{'}}s run so far, from [[1999]]-2011 (12 years).<br />
* A processing chip inside Bender's lower body is labelled an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athlon_II AMD Athlon II].<br />
*The [[German]] commander character in ''World of World War II 3'' resembles {{w|Colonel Klink}} from ''{{w|Hogan's Heroes}}''.<br />
*Walt slaps himself and says, "Ach! I could haf fired a V-8!" This is a parody of the famous advertising campaign "I could've had a {{w|V8 (beverage)|V8}}!". It could also be an upgrade to the V2 rocket.<br />
*Bender says "It's my brains against your von Braun." This is a reference to {{w|Wernher von Braun}}, the {{cat|s=no|Nazism|Nazi}} rocket {{cat|scientist}} that designed the V-2 rocket and who would later work for [[NASA]].<br />
*When [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] and [[Cubert J. Farnsworth|Cubert]] are in jail, there's a ''{{w|Kilroy was here}}'' drawing on the wall.<br />
*[[Lord Nibbler|Nibbler]] suggests putting on a show called ''[[Nibbler on the Roof]]'', a parody of ''{{w|Fiddler on the Roof}}''. He is later seen dressed as the lead character, Tevye.<br />
*The [[hoverfish]] resemble the Sentinels from the {{w|The Matrix (franchise)|''The Matrix'' films}}.<br />
*[[Mom]] ordering the hoverfish to "Bring me the clock of [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender Rodriguez]]" is a reference to the film ''{{w|Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia}}''.<br />
*[[Ron Whitey|Judge Whitey]] says to Cubert, "That'll do, {{cat|pig}}," a famous line from the movie ''{{w|Babe (film)|Babe}}''.<br />
*The [[King of Space]] is a reference to the {{w|King of Spain}}.<br />
**Alternatively, it could be a reference to The King of All Cosmos from {{w|Katamari Damacy}} video games.<br />
*Bender using Niagara Falls as cooling for his processor is most likely a reference to a famous quote from a professor of electrical engineering who said, “The super {{cat|computer}} is technologically impossible. It would take all of the water that flows over Niagara Falls to cool the heat generated by the number of vacuum tubes required.” <br />
*The German commander mentions listening to German electronic music group {{w|Kraftwerk}}.<br />
*On [[Mom's sons]]' wall, there is a poster of [[Mom]] sitting in a pose. This poster is very similar to that of a classic {{w|Farrah Fawcett}} photo.<br />
**There is also a poster of the [[Hypnotoad]] in the "black light" style popular during the [[1960s|Sixties]].<br />
*The first time Bender, Fry and Cubert play ''World of World War II 3'', Bender's character is very clunky and glitchy, which may be a reference to {{w|Microsoft}}'s {{w|Kinect}} and {{w|Nintendo}}'s {{w|Wii}}, motion controlled consoles that often feature very unresponsive characters and avatars.<br />
*Bender "[hacking himself] inside out and now the entire universe [being his] processor" may be a reference to {{w|A. C. Clarke}}'s ''{{w|The City and the Stars}}'', a classic science fiction novel featuring a being of "pure intellect", named Vanamonde, whose consciousness is described as a "quantum lattice wrought into the very fabric of the Universe". In that novel, Vanamonde is the one who reveals the true history of the human race to the protagonists in what is commonly rated among the best science fiction plot twists of all time. Since ''The City and the Stars'' (published [[1956]]), the theme of beings similar to Vanamonde has been adopted many times for extremely old and powerful entities throughout science fiction.<br />

*When the scene where [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] talk about [[Fry-Leela relationship|their relationship]] in the [[Planet Express balcony]] starts, the railing of the [[Planet Express headquarters]] spells out ''PLANET EXPRESS''. But, on close shots of Fry and Leela talking, it does not.<br />
*Smitty says that the Planet Express building does not have a doorbell, however a doorbell has been heard in previous episodes.<br />
**With so many things falling apart in the building (ceiling fans, for example) the doorbell might have been broken.<br />
*Bender addresses Cubert as a twelve-year-old, but Cubert turned thirteen in "[[Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television]]", which is set years earlier.<br />
**It can be argued that the characters don't age. <br />
**It can also be argued, however, that they do, because Farnsworth's age changes from season to season.<!--Notice how they all look the same as they did in the first episode, yet it is set 10 years after it? And how characters from [[The Simpsons]] stay at the same age, even though over 20 years have passed? <!-- In "[[A Clone of My Own]]" he was 160, in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" he was 162, ect.<br />
***It would be incredibly difficult for the Futurama writers to get away with that, as it was definitively stated that Fry was 25 when he came to the year three thousand. The dates in The Simpsons aren't at all fixed. Matt Groening even said that the story of Futurama is supposed to be more linear than The Simpsons.<br />
****Then again, it has been made obvious several times in the series that people in the 31st century seem to have developed a longer life-span than people in the 21st century, so Cubert could still look like a twelve year old physically but could be older than he looks.<br />
*****Another explanation could have something to do with his creation: being a clone of the Professor, his physical aging process could just be different from that of a regular being's.--><br />
*When Bender interrupts Fishy Joe as he is about to read the jury's verdict, there is a sound effect of Bender quickly sliding his chair back to stand up. However, in the next shot there are no chairs near Bender, and he has been standing up the entire time anyway.<br />
*When Leela returns to the Planet Express headquarters, Bender has his back to the door, but, in the next camera angle, he has his back to the screen.<br />
*Leela returns to the Planet Express headquarters through the left door, but, after a few camera-angle changes, is suddenly at the right door.<br />
*The exterior shot of the Planet Express headquarters at approximately 7 minutes and 36 seconds into the episode shows the hangar roof open, yet when we see inside the building moments later it is shut.<br />
*During the in-[[World of World War II 3|game]] scenes, Bender is seen wielding an {{w|M16 rifle|M16}}, which was designed in [[1957]], but the game is set during [[World War II]].<br />
**This may just be the [[31st century]]'s [[Past-O-Rama|poor knowledge]] of the [[20th century]].<br />
*In "[[Lethal Inspection]]", Hermes hacked into Bender's record and marked him as "TERMINATED". Therefore, Mom should know that Bender is terminated, and his record, shown in this episode, should state that he is "TERMINATED".<br />
*When Mom sees the Professor and Cubert getting arrested she is surprised that she has the opportunity to ruin the Professor; however, because she called the police she should have at least known the name of Cubert Farnsworth and that the location was at Planet Express, a company that Professor Farnsworth owns. Thus, seeing him should not have come as a surprise.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*This is the third time that Bender gives someone or something the finger (although it is implied that he did so offscreen). The first time was visibly seen in "[[Law and Oracle]]", then again in "[[Benderama]]", but this was not visible.<br />
*The device that Fry holds when Cubert is overclocking Bender is the same one that [[Morgan Proctor]] used to download Bender's brain in "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]".<br />
*When Mom looks at Bender's data, we see his serial number is 2716057, {{er|2ACV06}} his unit is 22 {{er|2ACV08}} and he was inspected by Inspector #5. {{er|6ACV06}}<br />
*Bender speed-reads a book called "''The [[Sithal War]]''", an event the [[Planet Express crew]] re-enacted in "[[Lethal Inspection]]".<br />
*The bridge where Fry falls over is the same one where, in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]", he and Leela celebrated Leela's [[birthday]] and Bender buried the alternate Fry, Professor, and Bender.<br />
*This is the first cameo appearance of [[Nine]] since ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'', he can be seen wearing his tinfoil hat.<br />
*Vyolet can be seen in the jury since mutants were granted citizenship in "[[The Mutants Are Revolting]]".<br />
*This is the fourth time that Planet Express almost goes out of business (This fact is referenced in the banner that says "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS...AGAIN!"). The first three times were in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'' and "[[Neutopia]]".<br />
*''[[The Mathketball Diaries]]'', first seen in the non-canonical "[[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular]]", reappears.<br />

After [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] is banished to the [[New New York sewers|sewers]] along with the other [[sewer mutants|mutants]], she and the {{Planet Express|crew}} lead [[Devolution Revolution|a revolution for mutant rights]].<br />
<br />
The episode is one of few which show large {{cat|politic}}al and {{cat|s=no|society|sociological}} change in the [[universe Γ|''Futurama'' universe]], which had effects on many following episodes.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Good news, everyone!" ===<br />
[[File:Leela deported.png|thumb|left|Leela is deported to the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] when Fry reveals that she is an illegal [[Sewer Mutant]].]]<br />
The [[Planet Express crew]] has been hired for their 100th {{deliver}}y, which is delivering a soufflé. For this occasion, [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] plans the [[100th Delivery Party|party of the millennium]]. [[Mrs. Astor]], the addressee, lives on the [[Waldorf Asteroid]], and so the crew [[Planet Express ship|flies]] there. Once the mission is complete, she invites [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] to [[Annual Astor Endowment Fundraiser|her fundraiser]] in the [[New New York Historical Society]] [[New New York Historical Society building|building]]. Fry invites [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] along, but, during the fundraiser, which supports the [[United Mutant Scholarship Fund]], Fry accidentally reveals to the guests that Leela, who felt outraged at the thinly-veiled racist treatment dispensed to mutants, is not an [[Alien]], but rather a [[Sewer Mutant]], who is living illegally on the surface. Leela is banished to the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] and sees the horrors of living down there. In an attempt to rectify his mistake, Fry, along with the rest of the crew (except for Bender), go to [[Citihall]]. Due to another of Fry's blunders, [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] finds out that they knowingly harbored Leela, and sentences them to 2 weeks below the surface. Meanwhile, Bender is throwing a great party with [[100th Delivery Party#Attendants|a lot of people]]. However, when he realises that he misses the rest of the crew, he orders everyone out and wallows in self-pity. Fry thinks living beneath the surface will be a good thing as he will now understand what being a Mutant feels like. Leela is angry at Fry (and all surface people for that matter) and states that if he wants to understand he should jump in [[Lake Mutagenic]] and become one.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "You are all surface." ===<br />
[[File:Land Titanic wreck.png|thumb|left|Fry, Amy, Zoidberg, Hermes and the Professor find the remains of the ''[[Land Titanic]]''.]]<br />
Fry comes up with an excuse not to jump and Leela is left angry at him. Whilst walking in the sewers, the crew stumbles on the ''[[Land Titanic]]'', a land bus in the shape of the ''{{w|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}'', which struck a mail box and sunk beneath the surface in [[2912]]. After looking through the ship for a while, they find a safe containing a rare [[Quantum Force Gemerald]], and a list of passengers on board the vessel, including Mrs. Astor's late husband. The crew decides to stay in one of the cabins. Fry, unable to sleep, walks to [[Lake Mutagenic|the toxic lake]]. Leela, feeling guilty about how she treated Fry, goes to look for him to apologize. She finds him and tries to stop him, but Fry, thinking she's still mad at him, jumps in anyway. She goes out on the lake and pulls him out, only to find now that he is severely mutated. Having had enough of the situation, Leela, along with Fry and the rest of the crew, starts a revolt against the street dwellers. Fry returns to the surface for Bender, so that he can bend the [[West Side Pipeway]] to send all the sewage back up the pipes. This leads to the streets of [[New New York]] being covered with sewage. Mrs. Astor demands something to be done, and the Mayor orders an [[Antarian]] to send all the waste to [[Madison Cube Garden]].<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "What goes down must back up!" ===<br />
[[File:Mrs. Astor and Mayor Poopenmeyer decide to grant the Sewer Mutants their freedom.jpg|thumb|left|[[Mrs. Astor]] and [[Mayor C. Randall Poopenmeyer|Mayor Poopenmeyer]] decide how to handle the [[Devolution Revolution]].]]<br />
With Leela in charge, the Mutants go up onto the surface and demand equal rights. Mrs. Astor orders [[Hobsy|her butler]] to fire an [[I See BM]] missile, which misses the Mutants and hits Madison Cube Garden, sending a tidal wave of sewage at them. Just before they are covered with sewage, Fry appears and uses the jewel to separate the sewage (emulating the Biblical scene with Moses and the Red Sea). Fry reveals to Mrs. Astor that they found the wreckage of the ''Land Titanic'', along with a list of passengers, which included Mutants. Fry reveals [[Leela's grandmother|an old and aged mutant]]: Leela's maternal grandmother, who was a young worker on the ''Land Titanic'' when it sunk. She reveals that [[Mr. Astor]] gave [[Life car|his seat]] up for her and [[Leela's great-grandmother|her mother]]. Upon learning this, Mrs. Astor asks for the Mutants to be allowed to the surface, to which Mayor Poopenmeyer agrees. Leela states she now has the stomach to kiss Fry for all he's done. When they kiss, Fry and [[Mr. Astor|the body of another Mutant]] are separated. It turns out that Mr. Astor fell into the toxic lake and mutated when the ''Land Titanic'' sunk, and, when Fry jumped into the lake, he lodged himself into his mouth. Mr. and Mrs. Astor are united once again and hug. The crew returns to the [[Planet Express headquarters]] with Leela's family and celebrate their 100th delivery.<br />

== Production ==<br />
[[File:Table reading of 6ACV12.jpg|thumb|right|The table reading of the episode, with [[Billy West]] to the right.]]<br />
A photo of [[Mike Rowe]]'s [[production]] script was uploaded by Mike Rowe onto his [[Facebook]] page. The cover of the script highlights it as the 100th episode, as well as revealing the title, "The Mutants Are Revolting". This episode was dedicated to the memory of [[Alex Johns]], a producer of ''Futurama'' who passed away at 43 years old.<br />
<br />
== Reception ==<br />
In its original American broadcast, the episode was viewed by an estimated 1.792 million households.<ref>[http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/63310451/m/769102913 Pifeedback.com - Thursday 9/02/10 - Topic]</ref><br />
<br />
== Additional Information ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*This is one among few ''Futurama'' [[:Category:Media featuring its title|media featuring its title]].<br />
*The title of this episode has double meaning, which is referenced in a {{cat|newspaper}} headline in the episode - the first being that the mutants revolt against the humans, and the second being that the mutants look revolting. This may be a reference to the stonewall riots, a well known [[Old New York|New York]] event in the {{cat|LGBT character|gay}} rights movement where a sign with the words "homosexuals are revolting" was featured in many news articles of the event.<br />
*This is the second time ''Futurama'' makes a reference to the ''{{w|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}'', the first being in "[[A Flight to Remember]]".<br />
*[[documentary narrator|The narrator]] of "The Mutant" [[documentary]] is the same voice that narrated the fictional documentaries ''[[documentary#I Dated a Robot!|I Dated a Robot!]]'' and ''[[documentary#None Like It Hot!|Global Warming]]''.<br />
*This is the first time that a ''Futurama'' title caption pops out ''over'' the main title.<br />
*The episode's title caption is 100 using bent girders to spell it to signify that this is ''Futurama'''s 100th episode.<br />
*The song playing at Bender's party is "{{w|The Boogie That Be}}" by the {{w|Black-Eyed Peas}}.<br />
*The song playing at the end of the episode is "{{w|Bend It}}" by {{w|Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich}}.<br />

*When [[H. G. Blob]] enters the 100th delivery party, he says "Hey, Hey Hey", much like {{w|Fat Albert}}.<br />
*The ''[[Land Titanic]]''{{'}}s name and appearance, how it sunk, and its old ballroom floor, as well as finding a huge gem in a safe, are all references to the famous ''{{w|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}'' incident and {{w|Titanic (1997 film)|the 1997 film based on that incident}}.<br />
*The laptop with a toilet seat for a lid seen outside Brown University is a reference to the Apple {{w|iBook G3}} "clamshell" laptop, whose rounded shape was compared by many reviewers to a toilet seat.<br />
*[[Dwayne]] asks [[Devo]] to play "{{w|Whip It}}", which is probably Devo's most famous single.<br />
**The song that Devo plays instead of "Whip It" is "{{w|Beautiful World}}", another popular single by them.<br />
**When [[Dwayne]] asks, "Are we not men now?", he's making another Devo reference to the song "{{w|Jocko Homo}}", specifically the lyric "Are we not men? We are Devo!" (which also makes up the title of {{w|Are We Not Men? We Are Devo!}}, their 1978 debut album).<br />
**When [[Mark Mothersbaugh]] responds, he states that he's "40% potato", another reference to [[Devo]], more specifically their fans who are called "Spuds".<br />
*The [[Million Mutant March]] is a reference to the {{w|Million Man March}}.<br />
*A location in the sewers that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s parents show her is [[Old Filthful]], a reference to {{w|Old Faithful}}.<br />
*The missile that is fired at [[Madison Cube Garden]] is an [[I See BM]], a reference to an {{w|ICBM}}, which stands for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile.<br />
*Mutant [[Fry]] declaring, "Let my people stay" and using a toilet plunger to part the massive sewage is a reference to the story of {{w|Moses}} in {{w|Exodus}} and the parting of the {{w|Red Sea}}. More specifically, the scene is a parody of the scene from ''{{w|The Ten Commandments (1956 film)|The Ten Commandments}}''.<br />
*One of the sewer mutants is Krumm from {{w|Aaahh!!! Real Monsters}}.<br />
*The [[Westside Pipeway]] resembles the ''Great Machine'' from {{w|Fritz Lang}}'s movie ''{{w|Metropolis (film)|Metropolis}}''. The film is about a future where the rich and powerful live on top a city, while the exploited workers live a life of austerity underground.<br />
*The "2, 4, 6 eyes..." chant is a reference to the well known "2, 4, 6, 8..." chant.<br />
*The most famous scene of ''{{w|The Seven Year Itch}}'' is parodied, as previously done in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]".<br />
*The "[[Waldorf Asteroid]]" is a parody of the {{w|Waldorf-Astoria}}, a famous luxury hotel.<br />
*In addition, Mr. Astor is probably a direct reference to {{w|John Jacob Astor IV}} of the {{w|RMS Titanic|RMS ''Titanic''}}, who is rumored to have selflessly sacrificed his spot in a lifeboat for a young immigrant named Louis.<br />
*When mutant [[Fry]] says, "What goes down, must back up!", the line is a reference to Newton's Law Of Gravity: "What goes up, must come back down."<br />
*After getting washed away by the westside pipeway's explosion, Leela's dad says that those mutants are "with the C.H.U.D.s now," a reference to the 1984 B-horror film ''C.H.U.D.'' (an acronym for "Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers"). A {{s|season 9|ninth season}} episode of ''[[The Simpsons]]'', titled "{{s|The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson}}", also has a couple of references to the C.H.U.D.s.<br />
*The [[Michael Collins Mix]] references {{w|Michael Collins (Irish leader)|Michael Collins}} and the famous {{w|Tom Collins|Collins Mix}}. As the drink was seen in the context of the [[Devolution Revolution]], it is likely that it is a parody of Michael Collins, who was an {{w|Ireland|Irish}} revolutionary leader. This may be a double allusion. Michael Collins was also the name of the astronaut who piloted the command module for Apollo 11, making him one of the first three people to travel to the [[moon]]. On the bottle of Collins mix, there is a moon and [[star]]s.<br />
*Twice in the episode, a mutant with three breasts can be seen, a possible homage to the character Mary from the science fiction movie {{w|Total Recall}}. The only difference is that the mutant is less human in appearance.<br />
*After [[Professor Farnsworth]] had said they're making their 100th delivery, Hermes' response is "That's almost 10 per year," indicating that Futurama's TV run so far, from 1999 to 2010, covers a similar length (a bit over ten years) of story time.<br />
*Mrs. Astor reads the magazine ''Now Dowager'', a reference to the film {{w|Now, Voyager}}.<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
[[File:Angry Norwegian 6ACV12.png|thumb|right|A priceless can of ''[[Angry Norwegian]]'' (bottom right) is seen in the sewers. In "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]", Fry had the last known can in existence.]]<br />
*At the 100th delivery party, [[100th delivery party#Guests|many characters from previous episodes]] can be seen.<br />
*The fact that [[Lake Mutagenic]] mutates unmutated beings is re-established.<br />
*We learn that [[Leela]] has [[Leela's Grandmother|a living grandmother]].<br />
*The fact that [[Leela]] claims herself as an alien, but is really a [[Sewer Mutants|Mutant]] is re-established.<br />
*The Mutants fight for their rights on the surface, which we've come to know in "[[Leela's Homeworld]]" that it was illegal for them to be there.<br />
*The running gag of [[Bender]] saying, "Neat" and then taking a picture with a flash camera reappears here.<br />
*The bull horn that [[Leela]] uses is the same one that Leela used to lead the [[feministas]] from ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''.<br />
*The [[Fry-Leela relationship|relationship between Fry and Leela]] is a main theme in the episode. The [[Bender-Amy relationship|relationship between Bender and Amy]], however, is only referenced at the end when they dance together.<br />
*A priceless can of [[Angry Norwegian]] anchovies can be seen on the ground as Fry leaves the ''Titanic'' to go swim in the lake. He had a similar can in the episode, "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]".<br />
*The [[Hyper-Chicken]] apparently survived his car crash from "Proposition Infinity".<br />
*Before Bender's party, he calls for Fry and Hermes, the only two known humans he does not wish to kill. Hermes was added to Bender's "do-not-kill" list in "[[Lethal Inspection]]".<br />
*The Nude Bartender from [[Planet XXX]] is seen attending Bender's party. Evidently, he was not censored with the rest of the planet in "[[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela]]".<br />
* In "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" Amy says that rings are stupid, and no-one likes them any more, implying that it was once popular to like rings. In the flashback, we see [[Mr. Astor]] wearing them on his hat.<br />
* A quantum force gemerald appears for the first time since "[[Less than Hero]]".<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*When [[Mr. Astor]] lifts his hat for the first time, his head is full of hair. When he lifts it for the second time, however, he's bald.<br />
*During the documentary on Mutants, a poodle is seen walking by (and the narrator states "below poodle feet") even though in "[[Xmas Story]]", Farnsworth established that Christmas trees were "gone with the way of the poodle", meaning poodles no longer existed.<br />
**There are a few possible counterpoints:<br />
***Farnsworth's comment could be interpreted as a fad that's merely gone like saying Disco is dead.<br />
***It could be that poodle remains were found and that the poodle was cloned, bringing them back to life, like in "[[Jurassic Bark]]" where the remains of Fry's dog [[Seymour]] are almost used to clone him. <br />
***It's also possible that the events of ''Into the Wild Green Yonder'' brought all extinct species back to life. <br />
***Finally, because we don't know the age of the documentary, it may have been made before poodles became extinct.<br />
*In one scene when Hermes and Fry are by the ship talking about Leela and the Party and so forth, Hermes' shirt is seen without buttons, then in the next scene his shirt has buttons.<br />
*In this episode, Bender is gyroscopically stable, but Bender has not been stable like this in most other episodes, such as "[[Crimes of the Hot]]".<br />

'''Fanny''' is a performer at the [[Gearotica Theatre]]. She is an attractive purple [[fembot]], perhaps originating from [[Earth]] or [[Mars]], who has a propeller on her behind. Fanny is the wife of the [[Donbot]] and the mother of at least two daughters, one of which is [[Bella]]. Unlike many other fembots, she appears to share certain parts with manbots, as noted by her arms, hands and unusually thick fingers. The only other female [[Bending Unit]] who shares this attribute is [[Angle-ine]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Although she is married to the [[Donbot]], she had an affair with [[Bender]] in [[3009]]. Bender used her fifty thousand dollar bra to play in the [[Universal Poker Championship]] so he would "make her happy" {{et|ItWGY}}. Fanny also stole her husband's foot to give Bender more luck. When the Donbot realized that she had been cheating on him with the winner of the tournament, he and the remainder of the [[Robot Mafia]] shot and buried them a few times as a warning. The affair did not seem to have any effect on her marriage, however, as the Donbot's limousine arrived to pick her up as soon as she and Bender freed themselves from their graves.<br />
<br />
In [[3010]], Fanny was seen with the Donbot while Bender and [[Amy Wong]] were fighting for their right to marry as [[Robosexuality|robosexuals]] {{et|6ACV04}}. She also danced at the [[100th-delivery party]] {{et|6ACV12}}. In [[3011]], she attended her [[Donbot's older daughter|oldest daughter]]'s wedding, where she ran into Bender, who had completely forgotten that he had ever slept with her.<br />
<br />
== Character Description ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
*The [[Donbot]], husband (ItWGY).<br />
*[[Bella]], daughter {{et|6ACV14}}.<br />
*Unnamed older daughter (6ACV14).<br />
*Unnamed son-in-law (6ACV14).<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Fanny is probably named Fanny because of the propeller (or fan) on her behind. It is also a double-entendre, as the word "fanny" is American slang for the rear end, and British slang for female genitalia.<br />
*Fanny is featured on the ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' disc of ''[[Futurama: The Complete Collection 1999-2009|The Complete Collection 1999-2009]]''.<br />
*Fanny is the first example of [[:Category:Movie characters returning in the second run|movie characters to return in the second run]].<br />

<div>{{update|seasons [[season 6|6]] and [[season 7|7]]}}<br />
A '''secondary character''' is a character that appears in either several [[episodes]], as a recurring character, or a single episode, with major importance towards the plot development of that episode.<br />
<br />
For other types of characters see<br />
<br />
*[[List of primary characters]]<br />
*[[List of tertiary characters]]<br />
<br />
== List ==<br />
Listed by order of appearance, with ''major'' secondary characters appearing first.<br />

*'''[[Lrrr]]<br />
*'''[[Cubert Farnsworth]]<br />

<div>{{update|Volumes [[Volume 7|7]] and [[Volume 8|8]]}}<br />
Throughout the [[DVD releases]] of ''[[Futurama]]'', there have been, alongside other special features, '''deleted scenes'''. These are scenes, animations and what not, cut for time, plot line, et cetera. This article lists all released deleted scenes.<br />
<br />
== Note ==<br />
<br />
The deleted scenes can be marked into four different categories based on what purpose they fill:<br />
* '''Addition''': The deleted scene contains imaging that was to be inserted between other scenes.<br />
* '''Replacement''': The deleted scene would have replaced the otherwise broadcast scene.<br />
* '''Plot hole''': The deleted scene contains information that would answer what otherwise remains unanswered in the episode without it.<br />
* '''Different dialogue''': The deleted scene contains the same animation as the broadcast version, but the spoken line is changed.<br />

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

'''Robots''' were first built by [[Humans]] to improve their lives. It has gotten to the point now that Robots outnumber Humans (or at least, voting humans) on presidential elections, and planets such as [[Chapek 9]] are ruled by robots alone. While some robots are designated laborer works, others live regular human-like lives, and they are more and more integrated into society on [[Earth]]. In [[3010]], laws were even updated to allow [[robosexuality|robosexual]] marriage; marriage between a robot and a human. Some types of robots are also capable of evolving on their own {{et|6ACV09}}.<br />
<br />
== Robots in society ==<br />

[[File:Bender's son.jpg|right|thumb|[[Bender's First Born Son]], an example of a child civilian robot.]]<br />
Robots can acquire wealth, marry, obtain jobs, consume resources, own property and live in robot societies. Each different facet of society in the year 3000 has some form of robot related - to human benefit or not.<br />
<br />
Robots in ''Futurama'' seem to exist in conflict with the idea of form and function - to which present day industrial design strives. In the year circa 3000 robots consume high volumes of resources (Calculon's luxury Bel-air home) and inhabit land (Robot Arms Apartments). In society they can be found in all levels of society - in the gutter "jacking on" (getting stoned on electricity) and at the top ([[Hedonism bot]] appears to be very wealthy, commissioning artistic endeavours on a whim). There is however little social mobility as a robot's function is predetermined by its type.<br />
<br />
There appear to be two main types, or castes, of robot:<br />
<br />
=== Laborer Robots ===<br />
Likely built by Humans, these robots are bound to their programming. They can be easily identified by the fact that their name often reflects their job. They are not all "laborers", per se, but they were built for a specific job, which they perform without question.<br />
<br />
=== Civilian Robots ===<br />
Possibly built by robots (evidenced by [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]'s statement, "We can always build more [[killbots]]" ([[Love's Labours Lost in Space|1ACV04]])), these are free to do as they please, and in fact, many are homeless. They still seem to pay homage to [[Mom]] on [[Mother's Day (holiday)|Mother's Day]], though. Their names tend to have little to do with their occupations.<br />
<br />
This said, it seems that 31st century robots aren't as bound to their programming as meant to. [[Bender]] is a prime example, made by humans and programmed to be a [[bending unit]], but having a free will and being able to do as he will. He is a laborer robot per se, and has a constant, unconsious desire of bending (especially clear in "[[Bendless Love]]"), but can also choose not to, at least to some degree.<br />
<br />
== History of robotics ==<br />
The following is the history of robots originating from [[Earth]].<br />
<br />
=== Early history (21st century - 2927) ===<br />
[[File:Project satan.jpg|thumb|225px|right|[[Project Satan]] was created around the year [[2000]].]]<br />
The oldest living robot is [[Calculon]], who refreshes his look every now and then to avoid suspicion, and claim to be much younger. Created around the year [[2000]], he was originally a simple motorized arm working who helped create [[Project Satan]]. Project Satan himself, an evil [[Were-Car]], was the first known robot to have a consciousness and mobility.<br />
<br />
The actual progress of robots is apparently as unknown as the first man on [[the Moon]], but it is claimed that the original robots were similar to neanderthals, dressed in leopard hides and hitting scraps of metal with clubs.<br />
<br />
The [[Robot Devil]] has existed since before [[2275]], but then again it is not certain that he was created on [[Earth]]. The same goes for [[Kwanzaa-bot]], who was assembled before [[2354]].<br />
<br />
=== Sport-Utility Robots (2927 - 3003) ===<br />
[[File:Sport utility robot.png|thumb|left|The first [[Sport-Utility Robot]] with its inventor in 2927.]]<br />
A new break-through in robotics was made in 2927, as [[Hubert Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]] invented the first [[Sport-Utility Robot]] (SUR). This robot was designed to be big and sporty (classified as a light truck), and is the ancestral prototype of most modern robots, including [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]]. The SUR runs on [[alcohol]] and pollutes in a manner generally reminiscent of human burps, which caused [[Global warming]], leading to all SURs being doomed to extinction by [[Richard Nixon's head|the president]] in [[3003]] at the so-called [[Big Robot Party]]. Although they were saved and global warming was stopped for the time being, these robots are now considered obsolete due to their effect on environment. <br />
<br />
Sometime in the 3rd millennium, [[John Quincy Adding Machine]] became the first robotic [[President of Earth]] after promising not to go on a killing spree. However, as with most politicians, he promised more than he could deliver.<br />
<br />
By the late 30th century, robots existed in similar numbers to humans on Earth, and the high number of robot voters caused [[Richard Nixon's head]] to win the [[Earth presidential election, 3000|presidential elections of year 3000]] by exactly one vote.<br />
<br />
[[File:1X.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Robot 1-X]] replaces the SUR in 3003.]]<br />
<br />
=== Robot 1-X (3003 - 3010) ===<br />
At [[Roboticon 3003]], [[Robot 1-X]] was introduced by [[MomCorp]]. This new model is designed not to run on alcohol and exhaust pollution, but rather to run on pollution and exhaust fresh smelling oxygen. Extremely intelligent and obedient, as well as hovering instead of walking, it is mostly considered a [[Robot#Laborer Robots|laborer robot]].<br />
<br />
=== Proposition ∞ (Current time) === <br />
After becoming a more and more accepted part of society throughout the times, some facets of robo-humanoid connections are still taboo in [[3010]]. In July of this year, however, [[Amy Wong|Amy]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] among others fought to legalize [[robosexual]] marriages, through [[Proposition ∞]], and succeeded. <br />
<br />
[[File:10000000.png|left|250px|thumb|Humanity is fighting a losing war against the robots in the year [[10000000|10 000 000]].{{er|95}}]]<br />
<br />
=== The future of robotics ===<br />
If [[Chris Travers]] is to be believed, [[Richard Nixon's head|Nixon's]] [[Earth presidential election, 3012|re-election]] in [[3012]] causes a chain reaction which results in a mass robot uprising in [[3028]], led by [[Bender|B.B. Rodríguez]].<br />
<br />
At some point between the year [[3050]] and the year [[10000]], Robots seem to have gotten terminated somehow during the many post-apocalyptic eras to come, and won't be created again till [[10000000|the year 10 million]]. Where as the Robots from the [[31st century]] lived more or less in peace with Humans, the machines from the year 10 million are engaged in a violent, genocidal war against the remnants of mankind.<br />

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

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

<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*If Bender "stole" Angle-ine's car, how did she get to her workplace?<br />
**It is quite possible she just walked to work.<br />
**It is also possible that she took a taxi.<br />
*Seeing as Bender has [[Apartment 00100100|his own apartment]] and doesn't live in the [[Planet Express headquarters]], it's unlikely that he travelled there only to sleep-[[bending|bend]].<br />
**It's also possible that Bender spends the occasional night at work rather than going home.<br />
*Bender is affected by magnets, they make him sing folk songs, yet the apparently magnetic beard he wears as a disguise does not affect him.<br />
**It maybe that his "chin" isn't close enough to his inhibition unit to be affected.<br />
*Fry recognizes Angle-ine at [[Elzar's]] even though he has never met her before.<br />
**He has seen her before, at the bike race. Bender may have identified her then.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*When Hermes is trying to straighten his straight-edge, he exclaims "Haile H. Selassie", a combination of {{w|Ethiopia}}n Emperor {{w|Haile Selassie I}} and the slang term "{{w|Jesus H. Christ}}".<br />
**As well, some members of the [[Jamaica]]n {{w|Rastafari movement}} consider Haile Selassie to be the {{w|Second Coming of Christ}}.<br />
*Bender's line "I try to get out, but they keep pulling me back in" is similar to a line uttered by {{w|Michael Corleone}} in ''{{w|The Godfather Part III}}''.<br />
*BendGay is a parody of {{w|Bengay}}.<br />
*Bender's use of a stick to trip up Fry and the Professor's spokes, and the following ridiculous results, is a likely reference to ''{{w|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade}}'', wherein a similar tactic is used against a {{cat|s=no|Nazism|Nazi}} motorcyclist (with a similarly ridiculous result).<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*In the surveillance tape, it is shown that [[owls]] live in holes in the wall, simlilar to mice. Owls in the future have replaced mice and rats as pests.<br />
*Flexo was introduced in "[[The Lesser of Two Evils]]". At the end, he was taken to prison for Bender's crime. So this is the second time he's gotten into trouble based on mistaken identity.<br />

'''Flexo''' is a [[Bending Unit]] [[robot]] of model #22, the same model as and therefore identical to [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] in almost every possible respect, except that he has a stylish metal goatee attached. <br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Flexo, being a [[Bending Unit]], is identical to Bender in appearance as well as most mannerisms. Like Bender, his finish is "Foghat Grey" (as opposed to gold, as explained in "[[The Farnsworth Parabox]]"). Even his voice is identical to Bender's, and when the two are forced to fight, the fight is perfectly symmetrical. The sole exception to their identical appearance is the fact that Flexo has a black metal goatee affixed to the base of his head. It is not known whether this goatee is Flexo's personal addition, or if he was created with it. However, Bender apparently owns a similar one (which he wore in "[[Bendless Love]]") which suggests that it may be an optional feature included with all bending units.<br />
<br />
Flexo is similar to Bender in that he often interjects conversations with cruel and cutting remarks, however he is unlike Bender in that he universally follows them up with a hearty laugh, and a compliment to the person at whom the "insult" was directed. For instance, in "[[The Lesser of Two Evils]]", he remarks to Fry that sharing the watch for the [[Jumbonium]] atom was him "8 hours of solid boredom" only to follow with a laugh and "nah I'm kiddin', you're a wonderful man!" Flexo's comments can be reversed as well as seen in "Bendless Love" when he is slapped by Bender and says, "Thanks, I appreciate that. Nah, I'm joshing with you, that was quite annoying!" While initially it is assumed by Fry, that this is a deceptive personality trait; it later becomes apparent that he is, in fact, genuinely kind.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Flexo was built by [[Bender's mother|the same arm]] as Bender and other bending units. The two of them crossed paths when [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] demonstrated an ancient car to his friends and ran Flexo over, he had to be restored by [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] in a lengthy operation. Flexo proved to be instrumental in foiling the attempted theft of a valuable atom of [[Jumbonium]], needed for the [[Miss Universe Pageant 3001|Miss Universe]]. He was arrested after the atom's retrieval because of his similarity to Bender, the real culprit {{et|2ACV06}}. <br />
<br />
Flexo later crossed paths with Bender at [[Curvetti Bros. Bending Plant]], where Bender fell in love with Flexo's ex-wife [[Angle-ine]] {{et|3ACV06}}. <br />
<br />
He is later seen during the [[Annual e-Waste Recycling Festival]] in a hazardous waste bin, arguing that [[Bending Units|bending units]] are dangerously outdated. Whether he was actually destroyed or not is yet to be known {{et|6ACV03}}.<br />

=== Family ===<br />
*[[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]], identical model<br />
*[[Billy West (character)|Billy West]], identical model (deceased)<br />
*[[Angle-ine]], ex-wife and lover as of "[[Bendless Love]]".<br />
<br />
== Additional Info ==<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*Flexo's Serial Number is 3370318, a number expressible as the sum of two cubes (119<sup>3</sup> + 119<sup>3</sup>)<br />
*Flexo was going to appear on "[[Crimes of the Hot]]" but was taken out to avoid confusion with the fans who haven't seen him before.<br />
*Flexo's head appears briefly in "[[Bendless Love]]", in the bin where [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender's]] head comes from. It's not sure if this is the actual Flexo, or if it is a similar-looking [[Bending Unit]].<br />
*The idea of a nearly-identical-except-with-a-beard version of someone being evil is a reference to the ''[[Star Trek]]'' episode, "{{st|Mirror, Mirror (episode)|Mirror, Mirror}}", where [[Spock]] from {{st|mirror universe|an alternate, evil}} {{universe}} has a beard.<br />
*He apparently hates dancing, according to Anglelyne.<br />
*He is seen in the ''[[Bender's Game]]'' DVD featurette "How to draw Futurama", as a bonus step on drawing Bender; at the end, a goatee is added to where Bender's chin would be.<br />

[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Farnsworth]]'s [[What-If Machine]] tells three stories, one in which [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] becomes 150-foot-tall, another with [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] being slightly more impulsive and finally what would have happened if [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] never came to [[31st century|the future]]. And that's what things would have been like if Farnsworth had invented the [[fing-longer]].<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Terror at 500 Feet" ===<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|left|thumbnail|Giant Bender and Zoidberg in "Terror at 500 Feet".]]<br />
[[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|The Professor]] demonstrates his latest invention, the fing-longer by turning on the [[What-If Machine]]. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] wants to aks it a question. What if he was 500 feet tall?<br />
<br />
Hundreds of [[Bending Units]] complete work on Bender, who blasts off and heads to [[Earth]]. Meanwhile, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] roams New New York lonely and has no friends. Bender lands near Fry and the two become friends. While catching a frisbee, Bender kills the heads of [[Hanson]] and thousands of their fans so the [[Democratic Order of Planets|DOOP]] retaliate. They begin attacking Bender. They are so focused on stopping Bender that they shoot Fry with electricity when he tries to stop the fighting. This causes Bender to go on a rampage and destroy every building that he can find in New New York. Noticing the carnage, The Professor enlarges [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] so that he can fight Bender on equal ground. However, Zoidberg also has issues and begins destroying New New York. This causes a turf war between the two giants. While Bender attempts to boil Zoidberg, Fry walks up wanting to make Shrinky-Dinks. While Bender is distracted, Zoidberg cuts Bender's feet off and he is impaled on the [[Empire State Building]], slowly killing him. Fry admonishes everyone for their part in the tragedy, while Bender laments that he was unable to fulfill his dream of killing all humans before dying.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "Dial L for Leela" ===<br />
[[File:Sex-Leela.jpg|left|thumbnail|Leela, sleeping with Fry in "Dial L for Leela".]]<br />
[[Turanga Leela|Leela]] gets to ask a question. After being teased about being unimpulsive, she asks the what if machine the following. What if she was more impulsive?<br />
<br />
Leela buys some boots with "a crazy green stripe". The Professor makes Leela his sole heir because she's "so un-impulsive". She kills the Professor by kicking him into his pit of man eating anteaters to get the money. The Professor's death motivates Zoidberg to begin investigating. [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]] finds the video will which shows Leela killing the Professor, so she attacks him, chops him up, and puts his remains in the garbage disposal. [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] catches her disposing of the body, so he tries to extort her ("The X makes it sound cool!"). She kills Bender using a microwave and its radiation, and she turns Bender into a go-kart. [[Amy Wong|Amy]] insults her by saying that the go-cart is sexier than her, which causes Leela to kill her and stuff the body inside a grandfather clock. <br />
<br />
The remaining staff gather in the Accusing Parlor. Zoidberg attempts to solve the mystery. [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]], [[Scruffy]] and [[Nibbler]] independently realize who the murderer is and meet their demise as they are about to expose Leela, all on the same sword. Zoidberg finally works it out, only because he gets a letter from Bender he wrote before he dies, but Fry leaves before Zoidberg can reveal the killer and Leela kills Zoidberg. Later, Fry works it out. ("Hey Leela, whatcha eating?" Leela: "Lobster.") Leela is able to keep him quiet by doing something really impulsive: she rapes him, which he likes.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "The Un-Freeze of a Lifetime" ===<br />
[[File:Fry-Hole.jpg|left|thumb|Fry and the [[Fry-hole]] in "The Un-Freeze of a Lifetime".]]<br />
Fry gets to ask a question. Fry's request for a repeat of Bender's question is denied, so he asks: what if he never came to the future?<br />
<br />
Fry makes his fateful delivery to [[I. C. Wiener]] at [[Applied Cryogenics]]. Instead of falling in the freezer, he hits his head. This rips the fabric of space-time, through which we see some of the Planet Express staff. The next day [[Stephen Hawking's head|Stephen Hawking]] drops by [[Panucci's Pizza]]. Fry asks him about the hole in nothing, with "monsters" in it. After work, the [[Vice Presidential Action Rangers]] abduct Fry. The rangers inform him that they have to fix the time-space continuum or the universe will be destroyed. Fry tells his story and it is decided that when he hit his head he should have died, the attempt at murder fails to fix it and the rift in Space-Time reappears, they try to make him enter [[Cryogenic Freezing Chamber|the tube]] but instead he breaks the glass. This causes the universe to collapse on itself and Fry and the {{cat|vice-President|Vice Presidential}} Action Rangers are floating around outside the universe, they start a game of ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]''.<br />
<br />
The Professor throws away the What-If Machine because he didn't think the stories were realistic, but declares the fing-longer a success.<br />
<br />
However, it is revealed that this entire episode is itself being watched on the What-If Machine by the Professor, who wanted to know what life would be like if he'd invented the fing-longer.<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*[[List of products#Admiral Crunch|Admiral Crunch]] has a reappearance in this episode.<br />
*[[Gary Gygax]]'s appearance alongside Al Gore is something of an inside joke since Gore's (now ex-)wife, Tipper Gore, hates ''Dungeons & Dragons'' and has been publicly critical of it.<br />
*Al Gore received some criticism for his appearance because parts of the show "conflicted starkly with the anti-violence, anti-smoking and family-values themes of Gore's campaign". Gore's spokesperson responded by stating that most viewers would recognize that the show was meant to be entertaining and that it would be taken in the right spirit.<br />
*When rebroadcast during the [[United States presidential election, 2000|2000 Presidential Election]], the tagline at the start of the episode said, "Starring a guy who is kind-of, sort-of [[president of the United States|our next president]], maybe!".<br />
*Nichelle Nichols and Al Gore both make later appearances in {{eline|4ACV11}} and {{eline|4ACV08}} respectively.<br />
*Giant Bender's shell seems to be made of bent girders.<br />
*As mentioned on the DVD commentary, the Anthology of Interest episodes came from a desire to tell stories that couldn't be told in normal continuity, similar to {{w|Marvel Comics|Marvel's}} {{w|What If (comics)|What If?}} comics. <br />
*When [[Zoidberg]] is big, he attacks the {{w|Chase Manhattan Bank Building}} for denying his credit card application and the Apollo Theater for booing him offstage on open mike night. These are both references to {{eline|2ACV10}} when he is up on stage talking about the [[The Professor]] and the crowd doesn't like him he says it was the {{w|Apollo Theater}} all over again, and {{eline|2ACV13}} when he says that they denied his application.<br />
*The first of two Anthologies, the ''Anthology of Interest'' episodes (and to a lesser extent the comics) are equivalent to {{s|Treehouse of Horror series|Treehouse of Horror}} on ''[[The Simpsons]]''.<br />
*This episode is Scruffy's first speaking appearance.<br />
*Despite his assertions in {{eline|2ACV04}} that Fry's [[20th century]] sense of modesty is outdated, The Professor still seems to have accumulated tickets for public nudity.<br />
**this may be a result of the What-If-Machine's imagination.<br />
**Just because people are more comfortable with nudity, it doesn't mean public nudity isn't against the law.<br />
*The Professor calls the final story in this episode absurd, citing "Stephen Hawking in a pizzeria" as especially bad. Interestingly, in an episode of ''The Simpsons'' ({{s|Don't Fear the Roofer}}), Stephen Hawking buys a {{w|Little Caesars}} pizzeria.<br />
*Scruffy reappears, although his moustache is now white, not brown like it was when he appeared in {{eline|1ACV06}}.<br />
**There is also 1 part it is brown for about 2 seconds, at the start of the scene for the third story.<br />
*Al Gore is voiced by himself, making it his first appearance in any TV series of any kind. It is also one of the very rare times that a politician appears as himself on a show.<br />
*When giant Bender rips {{w|Shea Stadium}} from its foundations, a sign indicates that the {{w|New York Mets|Mets}} were the {{w|World Series}} Champions in 1969 and 1986, which means that they won't win between now and the year 3000! This is further stated in the episode {{eline|3ACV16}}.<br />
*This episode is one of four featured in the [[Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection]], reflecting its popularity with both fans and the creators of Futurama.<br />
*This episode was named #13 on IGN's list of [http://tv.ign.com/articles/716/716663p2.html Top 25 Futurama Episodes].<br />
*When Bender boils Zoidberg inside Shea Stadium, the stadium is a complete bowl. In real life, Shea was open in the outfield (and torn down in 2009). However, considering Old New York was destroyed, this was likely meant to be a completely new Shea Stadium from the one the Mets used from 1964-2008.<br />

}}<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*The Applied Cryogenics scene is missing [[Nibbler's shadow|a certain shadow]] that was seen in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", but that may be explained by the fact that the being that causes the shadow caused him to fall into the tube.<br />
*The DOOP attempts to destroy Bender with something that looks like electricity. Electricity is a known drug for [[robot]]s as seen in "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]".<br />
*[[Fryfro|Fry's afro]] makes, although with a different look, its first appearance since "Hell Is Other Robots". It will appear again in "[[Rebirth]]".<br />
*Zoidberg avenges himself on a bank that denied him a credit card application. He previously mentioned having credit cards (since revoked) in "[[Bender Gets Made]]".<br />
*The anteater spitting the glasses back onto the Professor's skull is a reference to the fact we never see his eyes.<br />
*At first it seems as though Bender is going to ask what it would be like if he were human, but instead he changes it. This foreshadows future events because in the sequel, "[[Anthology of Interest II]]", Bender does ask the What-If machine what it would be like if he were human.<br />
*This is the second time that Leela is seen having sex with somebody out of impulse (the first time being "[[Love's Labours Lost in Space]]" with [[Zapp Brannigan]]) and the first time we see her in bed with Fry. Although, since it was during a What-If scenario, it cannot be regarded as [[canon]].<br />
*Bender says he'd like to "axe" the What-If Machine a question ("[[Xmas Story]]").<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*When Giant Bender first meets Fry, he says that he needs a big cereal. This is a catchphrase from {{w|Honeycomb (cereal)|Honeycomb cereal}} commercials, one of a few references made in the series.<br />
*The Earth forces that try to stop Bender consist of tanks, foot soldiers and futuristic biplanes, this is a reference to the {{w|King Kong (1933 film)|original}} ''[[King Kong]]'' {{w|King Kong (1933 film)|movie}}.<br />
*Giant Zoidberg destroying the city and fighting Bender is a reference to the [[Godzilla]] films ''{{w|Godzilla (1954 film)|Gojira}}'' and ''{{w|King Kong vs. Godzilla|Kingu Kongu tai Gojira}}''.<br />
*Mr. Panucci says the only 'real' monsters are [[Count Dracula|Dracula]], {{w|Blacula}} and {{w|The Son of Kong|Son of Kong}}.<br />
*When giant Bender flies to Earth the song "{{w|Iron Man (song)|Iron Man}}" by {{w|Black Sabbath}} is briefly heard.<br />
*Nichelle Nichols appears as {{w|Uhura}} from ''[[Star Trek]]: {{st|Star Trek: The Original Series|The Original Series}}''.<br />
*Fry asks, "Was Planet Express built on an Indian graveyard?", a reference to the horror movie ''{{w|Poltergeist (film)| Poltergeist}}''.<br />
*"Good night, sweet prince" is a direct and well-known quote from the play ''{{w|Hamlet}}'' by [[William Shakespeare]]; these words are spoken by Horatio as Hamlet dies.<br />
*There are several references about ''Dungeons & Dragons'', including rolling dice to decide what to do, and holding a +1 mace.<br />
*Zoidberg wears the famous hat of the great detective {{w|Sherlock Holmes}}, and "The Accusing Parlor" looks a lot like his home in London from the books.<br />
*The story of a giant robot coming to earth and making friends with a lonely kid is a parody of the story behind ''{{w|The Iron Man (novel)|The Iron Giant}}'' which was made into an {{w|The Iron Giant|animated film}} in 1999.<br />
*One of the members of the Vice Presidential Action Rangers is [[Deep Blue]] which was a computer made by {{w|IBM}} that beat world chess champion {{w|Gary Kasparov}} in 1997.<br />
*The cover of the Monster Manual at the end of the third segment is exactly the same as the original Monster Manual from {{w|Monster Manual#First edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons|Advanced ''Dungeons & Dragons'' 1st editon}} from the late 1970s. This particular book was, of course, written by Gygax.<br />
<br />
=== Fast Forward ===<br />
*The events of {{eline|3ACV19}} explain the [[timeline]] issues which cause the universe to be destroyed.<br />
*The Professor later invents the [[fing-longer]] in {{eline|3ACV05}}.<br />
*A sequel to this episode is created, {{eline|3ACV18}}.<br />
*Sadly, [[Gary Gygax]] passed away eight years after this episode aired. The film {{f|3}} was dedicated to his memory.<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*Leela and Bender are amongst the rest of the Planet Express Crew when the rip in space-time forms. This shouldn't be, because Fry was responsible for the two joining Planet Express in the first place. There have been some explanations for this:<br />
**This could just be another inconsistency of the What-If Machine, just like how Nibbler's shadow is missing.<br />
<!--***Nibbler's shadow was possibly missing because he was the reason why Fry fell into the tube.--><br />
**The Fry-Hole probably brought them there randomly.<br />
*This same mistake was made in the first part of this episode, where Leela works for Planet Express, and Fry isn't assigned a job. This shouldn't be, because Leela would have assigned Fry the job of a Delivery Boy since Bender wasn't there to help Fry escape from her and the police, and because of this, Leela wouldn't have lost her job for making friends with Fry, forcing them to go to Fry's only living relative (Farnsworth), thus making them members of Planet Express, but this may also be an inconsistency of the What-If Machine. Bender would be dead because he would have committed suicide.<br />
**Though Fry and Leela could still have ended up as employees at Planet Express because Fry's attempted escape could still have ensued and could have arrived at the same conclusion without Bender, though without Bender's participation the events leading up to this similar conclusion would have been different. The only major effort on Bender's part was the bending of the bars at the head museum, and they had only attempted to hide there because of Bender's suggestion that it was free on Tuesdays.<br />
*After Fry falls and bumps his head on the freezer door, he gets up and the table he was sat at is now a lot further away from the freezer than it was when he fell and the can isn't in his hand or on the floor.<br />
*Scruffy's moustache and hat keep changing colors throughout the episode.<br />
*Al Gore called Nichelle Nichols ''''Commander Uhura'''', but she only had 1 gold braid which indicates the rank of Lieutenant.<br />
**Al Gore may not have known this. This may also be yet another inconsistency of the What-If Machine.<br />
**He may also be referring to her later rank from the films despite Nichelle wearing the more iconic TOS uniform where she held the lower rank.<br />
*Several times throughout the episode, the characters say the word "ask", which was said in Xmas Story to be an archaic term for "ax".<br />
**When the usage of the word "ax" is first brought up, Leela knows that "ask" is an archaic pronunciation, implying that people still know about the pronunciation.<br />
*If Fry hadn't fallen in the cryogenic tube, that means that Nibbler never made the call for I. C. Wiener. Therefore, Fry wouldn't have gone to the cryogenic lab for a delivery at all.<br />
**The reason Fry didn't fall into the tube may have been because Nibbler failed to get to the lab in time, meaning that he still made the call.<br />
*When Leela kills Bender with the microwave, multiple errors can be found:<br />
**When Bender collapses, his now detached eyes are shown as spheres. However, when his eyes move or fall out in other episodes (such as "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" and "[[A Flight to Remember]]"), they are shown to be rounded cylinders. However, they would later be spherical in "[[Ghost in the Machines]]".<br />
<!--***It's possible that Bender's eyes are usually spherical, but can stretch due to some mechanism within the eyeballs themselves.--><br />
**When Leela pointed the microwave at Bender and destroyed him with radiation, the microwave was unplugged.<br />
**If a robot was actually hit by microwave radiation, it wouldn't fall apart the way it did.<br />
<!--Please do not remove this without first going to the discussion page.--><br />
<!--***Microwaves in the year [[3001]] may be different from microwaves today.--><br />
*When Gygax hands Fry the +1 mace, he is on Fry's right. However, during the wide shot immediately afterwords, Gygax is directly behind Fry.<br />

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

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

<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*If Bender "stole" Angleyne's car, how did she get to her workplace?<br />
**It is quite possible she just walked to work.<br />
**It is also possible that she took a taxi.<br />
*Seeing as Bender has [[Apartment 00100100|his own apartment]] and doesn't live in the [[Planet Express headquarters]], it's unlikely that he travelled there only to sleep-[[bending|bend]].<br />
**It's also possible that Bender spends the occasional night at work rather than going home.<br />
*Bender is affected by magnets, they make him sing folk songs, yet the apparently magnetic beard he wears as a disguise does not affect him.<br />
**It maybe that his "chin" isn't close enough to his inhibition unit to be affected.<br />
*Fry recognizes Angleyne at [[Elzar's]] even though he has never met her before.<br />
**He has seen her before, at the bike race. Bender may have identified her then.<br />
<br />
=== Allusions ===<br />
*When Hermes is trying to straighten his straight-edge, he exclaims "Haile H. Selassie", a combination of {{w|Ethiopia}}n Emperor {{w|Haile Selassie I}} and the slang term "{{w|Jesus H. Christ}}".<br />
**As well, some members of the [[Jamaica]]n {{w|Rastafari movement}} consider Haile Selassie to be the {{w|Second Coming of Christ}}.<br />
*Bender's line "I try to get out, but they keep pulling me back in" is similar to a line uttered by {{w|Michael Corleone}} in ''{{w|The Godfather Part III}}''.<br />
*BendGay is a parody of {{w|Bengay}}.<br />
*Bender's use of a stick to trip up Fry and the Professor's spokes, and the following ridiculous results, is a likely reference to ''{{w|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade}}'', wherein a similar tactic is used against a {{cat|s=no|Nazism|Nazi}} motorcyclist (with a similarly ridiculous result).<br />
<br />
=== Continuity ===<br />
*In the surveillance tape, it is shown that [[owls]] live in holes in the wall, simlilar to mice. Owls in the future have replaced mice and rats as pests.<br />
*Flexo was introduced in "[[The Lesser of Two Evils]]". At the end, he was taken to prison for Bender's crime. So this is the second time he's gotten into trouble based on mistaken identity.<br />

"'''The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings'''" is the seventy-second episode of ''[[Futurama]]'', the eighteenth and last of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]], the sixteenth and last of the [[Broadcast season 5|fifth broadcast season]] and the finale of the [[original run]]. It aired on 10 {{August}}, [[2003]], on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]]. It guest-stars [[Dan Castellaneta]] as the [[Robot Devil]]. [[Fry]] makes a deal with the Robot Devil so he can become a skilful {{cat|musician}} and win [[Leela]]'s heart.<br />
<br />
== The Story ==<br />
=== Act I: "Mr. Bender, I simply cannot teach your child!" ===<br />
<br />
[[File:Wheel of Robots.png|thumb|left|The [[Wheel of Robots]]]]<br />
<br />
[[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] is desperately trying to learn to play the [[Holophonor]], as he once almost won [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]'s heart with it. He begs [[Bender Bending Rodriguez|Bender]] to come and attend his Holophonor recital, and Bender graciously agrees. However, Fry is still very inexperienced, turning his recital into a disaster. This leaves Fry depressed because he can imagine great {{cat|s=no|music}}, but is not capable of playing it. Just then, Leela tells him that she has a soft spot for men with creative musical talent, like her ex-boyfiend, [[Sean]], and his saxophone. Bender suggests that Fry should cut a deal with the [[Robot Devil]] in order to learn to play the Holophonor. Fry agrees and they travel to [[Robot Hell]] and confront the Robot Devil, who tells Fry that he has "stupid fingers", which can't even master a belt buckle. He suggests that Fry takes a pair of robot hands to replace them, and leads them to a big wheel of fortune called "[[Wheel of Robots]]", containing every robot in existence's name. The wheel lands on the Robot Devil (positioned next to Bender's), who reluctantly replaces his hands with Fry's.<br />
<br />
=== Act II: "I'm back from Hell, and I've got the Robot Devil's hands!" ===<br />
With his new hands, Fry easily masters the holophonor and soon becomes a star. He even makes his own records and plays in public at [[New New York#Hovercar-Negie Hall|Hovercar-negie Hall]]. Leela is genuinely touched by the beauty of his music. The Robot Devil is desperately trying to get his hands back, but Fry refuses to give them back. Meanwhile, [[Hedonism Bot]] asks Fry to write an opera for him, and Fry agrees, provided that he can write it about Leela. He begins his work, and Leela is very impressed by his creative talent, but Fry doesn't want her to hear the opera until it's done. Meanwhile, the Robot Devil cuts a deal with Bender, installing on him a stadium air horn, taking his crotch plate in return. This allows Bender to fulfill his wish of being more annoying. Bender tries out his new function on the first person he sees, Leela. The blast is so loud, she is deafened, the night before Fry's big concert. This is just what the Robot Devil had hoped for--a bargaining chip to use against Fry in return for his hands. Bender tries to use [[bite my shiny metal ass|his catchphrase]], but realizes that he just traded his "shiny metal ass" to the Robot Devil.<br />
<br />
=== Act III: "Please don't stop playing, Fry. I want to hear how it ends." ===<br />
Fry's opera, ''Leela: Orphan of the Stars'', has its grand premiere in the [[Metropolitan House of Opera]], attended by a huge audience. As she still can't hear, Leela begs the [[Planet Express crew]] not to tell Fry that she is deaf, because she fears it would break his heart, so [[Amy Wong|Amy]] uses [[Emotion Flashcards]] to show Leela what she is supposed to feel when Fry sees her. The first act, dealing with Leela's past, is a great success. During the intermission, Leela decides that she would give anything to hear the rest, which plays right into the Robot Devil's plans. He agrees to grant her new ears in exchange for her hand, which she accepts, and is given [[Calculon]]'s ears. The Robot Devil tells her that he will come back for the hand at a later time because the intermission is about to end and he does not want her to be late for the rest of the opera. During the second act, portraying Fry's deal with the Robot Devil, the real Robot Devil makes a personal appearance on the stage, confronts Fry and demands his hands back, or he will take Leela's promised hand—in marriage. Fry is desperate, as his skill with the holophonor (and his ability to impress Leela) lies in his new, robotic hands. Without them, he will not be able to complete the opera he wrote to win her heart. In the end, he decides to give up the hands so that Leela may go free. Left with his old hands, he is unable to play with any amount of skill, and the opera is a flop causing the entire audience to leave angry and disappointed. Just as Fry is about to sadly leave the empty stage with his holophonor, he hears Leela in the distance as she says ''Please don't stop playing Fry. I want to hear how it ends''. He then turns and sees Leela as the only person left in the audience, smiling. Fry, happy to see she has remained, sits down and finishes by managing to play a simple but sweet tune, and the holophonor creates crudely drawn versions of Fry and Leela which kiss and hold hands before walking off into the distance, together.<br />

<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*On the spinning wheel used by the Robot Devil to select the robot who will trade hands with Fry, the names seen are those of actual robots who have appeared in the series. (See [[#Characters on the wheel of robots|below]] for the full list.) Some of them have no or only one hand, suggesting that the Robot Devil had ways of cheating.<br />
*The grumpy snail is in every holophonor piece Fry plays, except the opera, and is also featured on the advertisement for Fry's record.<br />
*The final line in the episode took a while to record due to [[Katey Sagal]]'s involvement with the {{TV}} series ''{{w|8 Simple Rules}}''.<br />
*[[Dan Castellaneta]] returns as the [[Robot Devil]], and also plays the slug advertising Fry's album.<br />
*When the show went on hiatus in {{April}} [[2002]], the Futurama crew made this episode to work as both a season and series finale, as it would give them a 50/50 chance to get renewed.<br />
*Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth and Richard Nixon are the only characters to appear in both this episode and "[[Space Pilot 3000]]".<br />
*[[writers and directors|Writer]] [[Ken Keeler]] was nominated for an Emmy in [[2004]] (for Outstanding Music and Lyrics) for the song "I Want My Hands Back".<br />
*Preacherbot mentions the power vested in him "by the state of New New York". Up until this point, it had never been mentioned if the state's name had changed along with the city's, although it was marked as such in "[[Bendin' in the Wind]]".<br />
*This is the only time the big screen in the opening sequence shows a picture of the opening sequence itself, repeating itself endlessly.<br />
*The sign of the Holophonor teacher bears the subtitle ''Taking the fun out of music for over 20 years''.<br />
*Fry and Bender ride {{w|Segway_PT|Segways}} to get to the recital.<br />
*Amy is using Emotion Flashcards featuring the [[Poster Guy]] to tell the deafened Leela what she is supposed to feel during the opera.<br />
*The contract Leela has signed is headed ''Standard Diabolical Exchange Agreement''.<br />
*At the end of the episode, just as Leela says "I want to know how it ends", she no longer has Calculon's ears (you need to zoom). In the DVD film ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'', she no longer has the ears either, and Calculon doesn't appear. This is often considered a retcon. It is more likely however, that just as Leela's loss of eyesight in "[[Bender Gets Made]]" was temporary, so too was her loss of hearing in this episode. It is also possible that her hearing was simply fixed after the Opera.<br />
*During the sequence where the Robot Devil gives Fry his hands, there are at least three frames where both he and Fry have robot hands. However, this is hardly noticeable at regular playing speed.<br />
*Zoidberg's quote "Your music's bad and you should feel bad!" inspired an Internet meme similar to the Fry meme following the formula: "Your x is bad and you should feel bad", which was used in two promos for season 7 of ''Futurama'': "ALL NEW FUTURAMA IS GOOD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL GOOD" and "YOUR PROMO IS BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD".<br />
*The opening subtitle with "See You On Some Other Channel" hinted that FOX had cancelled ''Futurama'', and that the show would air in syndication on [[Adult Swim]], but this is the last episode Adult Swim aired on {{date|31 December}}, [[2007]] before their rights expired. Once [[Comedy Central]] started airing it, the subtitle became twice true, due to CC reviving the series in [[2010]].<br />
*When the scene first switches to [[Robot Hell]] and we see the Robot Devil practicing music with his minions, they are playing a short variation of the song [[Robot Hell (song)|Robot Hell]], from "[[Hell Is Other Robots]]".<br />
*This is the final episode where the music is recorded using a full orchestra. From ''Bender's Big Score'' onward, all music would be synthesized to save [[currency|money]].<br />
<br />
=== Goofs ===<br />
*During the advertisement for Fry’s record he switches between having normal and robot hands.<br />
*Tinny Tim holds up a newspaper twice, which has the title "New York Post", rather than "New New York Post" as would be expected.<br />
**Even though [[Old New York|New York]] has been destroyed and [[New New York]] exists in the 31st century, it is possible that the ''New York Post'' survived without changing its title. Despite this, in "[[Attack of the Killer App]]", [[Scoop Chang]] clearly says he is reporter for the ''New New York Post''. Which either confirms the goof or indicates the paper finally updated its name in between the two episodes.<br />
*When the Robot Devil first comes to get his hands back, Fry is standing with his hands in his pockets, and then in the next shot, his hands are out of his pockets, but no time has passed to allow for Fry to take his hands out.<br />
**There was a deleted scene between the two shots where Fry takes his hands out to make a gesture.<br />
*In the episode "[[Parasites Lost]]" Leela had indicated that only a couple people in the universe could use the Holophonor and that they weren't very good at it. Here, we see a large number of children being taught to play it and at least one of them is shown to have skill with it.<br />
**It is implied that the child is extremely gifted, and the piece he plays is [[Beethoven]]'s ''{{w|Für Elise}}'', which is very simple.<br />
*At the end of this episode, the Robot Devil had almost married Leela. But in "[[Proposition Infinity]]", it is revealed that robosexual marriage is illegal.<br />
**Maybe [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot]] believes that the rules on Earth don't apply in [[Robot Hell]].<br />
**Robosexuality is stated to be illegal in terms of the law, but the Temple of Robotology never explicitly states that the religion prohibits it. Reverend Lionel Preacherbot may have been about to break the law, but there is no indication that he was about to break any religious rule.<br />
**The Robot Devil lives in [[New Jersey]], where robosexual marriage may be legal.<br />
**The Robot Devil may have just been pretending to marry Leela to trick Fry.<br />
*It is later revealed that the [[Robot Devil]] has multiple back-up copies of his body in Robot Hell ("[[Ghost in the Machines]]"), so he could have just taken his old hands off of one of those.<br />
**It is possible that he created the copies after this episode.<br />
*Fry says "My hands, my horrible, human hands!", but Fry's hands were replaced during "[[I Dated a Robot]]".<br />

*Two people in the holophonor image jump over barrels as they walk upstairs, which is similar to the gameplay in ''Donkey Kong''.

*The plot may be based on Marlowe's ''Faust''.<br />
*The title of the opera could be based on the title of the book, ''Ami : L'Enfant des étoiles'', a [[1999]] book which title, translated from [[French]], means ''Ami : Child of the stars''.<br />
*Fry plays ''Für Elise'' composed by Ludwig Van Beethoven and also plays with an orchestra ''Boléro'' composed by Maurice Ravel.<br />

'''Bender Bending Rodriguez''' (Model: '''[[bending units|bending unit]] 22''') is a bending unit (serial number: 2716057), who works at [[Planet Express]] as Assistant Manager of Sales, formerly chef of the company. He is one of the primary characters and is known for his "in-your-face interface".<br />
<!--SEE THE DISCUSSION PAGE ABOUT THE FOLLOWING SECTION:<br />
<br />
He weighs 525 pounds (238kg) and his central processing unit is a {{w|MOS Technology 6502|MOS Technologies 6502 processor}}. His arms and legs can be separated from the body and may act independently from it, and his head is able to survive without his body.<br />
<br />
His internal fuel cells are recharged by drinking alcohol or any other liquid capable of delivering chemical energy, such as mineral oil or [[Dark Matter|dark matter oil]]. If he does not drink alcohol for a while, he suffers symptoms of intoxication, develops five-o'-clock rust around his mouth and leaks oil from his armpits. He carries a nuclear pile that seems to be composed of fissionable material, enabling the construction of miniature nuclear weapons.<br />
<br />
Bender has a highly addictive personality, and his favorite pastimes are watching [[All My Circuits]], stealing things, drinking, and smoking. He lives in the [[New New York#Robot Arms Apartments|Robot Arms Apartments]] with his roommate [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]]. In spite of his general selfishness and family-sized ego, he has occasionally demonstrated a capacity for generosity, even self-sacrifice, where his good friends are involved.<br />
<br />
One of Bender's life-long dreams is to be a folk singer&mdash;a dream he briefly lived when he toured with [[Beck]] ([[Bendin' in the Wind|3ACV13]]). Normally his inhibition unit keeps his musical urges under control, but it tends to shut down in the presence of strong magnetic fields (especially in close proximity to his head). Ultimately things turned out tragically; fortunately for Bender, he's a robot with many life-long dreams. Another is being a great chef, like his idol [[Elzar]]. He achieved this dream as well when he defeated Elzar on the show ''[[Iron Cook]]'' ([[The 30% Iron Chef|3ACV22]]).--><br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
Bender is often selfish and insensitive to other people's emotions. At one point, he flushed Leela's beloved pet Nibbler down the toilet, and didn't feel bad about it until the Professor attached an empathy chip to his head, forcing him to feel other people's emotions. He is also quite vain, frequently bragging about how great he is. Bender has no qualms about committing crimes and often steals people's wallets or items from shops. He loves smoking and drinking, though as a robot he has to drink alcohol to keep him going. (The cigars just make him look cool.) Bender can also be cruel at times and even sometimes treats his own friends badly. He is also extremely lazy, and is often seen sitting around on the couch drinking a beer and/or watching television.<br />
<br />
However, he is capable of caring for others and is close friends with Leela and Fry, even though he often acts obnoxious and mean towards them. Bender seems genuinely happy for Leela when she is reunited with her long lost parents and was devastated when he is ordered to kill Fry in ''[[Bender's Big Score]]''. Considering he is still upset when he returns to the future it's possible he might have been mourning Fry for nearly a thousand years.<br />
<br />
[[File:Countessdelaroca.png|thumb|right|Countess de la Roca {{et|1ACV10}}, one of the fembots he had a relationship with.]]<br />
<br />
Bender also has a fair few romantic relationships with fembots, such as [[Countess de la Roca]] and [[Angle-ine]]. Bender can be quite emotional at times, despite stating that robots aren't supposed to have emotions, and is empathic towards turtles since they have hard shells and have difficulty getting up if they fell on their backs, two things they share in common with Bender. He also becomes the leader of a group of penguins at one point. Bender also idolised the Harlem Globetrotters and wanted to become one of them and started crying when they refused to let him join.<br />
<br />
Bender also loves cooking though he had little talent for it and would often cook things that were either inedible or just barely edible. In certain episodes however, he has been able to make food successfully, making a cake for Nibbler's birthday party which was promptly eaten by the Nibblonian.<br />
<br />
As a robot, Bender has quite a lot of abilities. He is able to stretch his arms long distances as well as record data in his head, once using this to get Richard Nixon to give him back his body. He also breathes fire whenever he burps and when he is terrified he sometimes ejects bricks from his backside which is his variant of defecation. (This is a reference to the slang phrase, to "s**t bricks", meaning to be very scared or surprised.) Although he usually only does this while in a state of shock, he has also done it after eating an {{w|Olestra}} potato chip from the 20th century. Bender is also very strong, even managing to bend a supposedly [[unbendable girder]]. <br />
<br />
Bender is able to remove numerous parts of his body such as his head, arms, legs and even eyes. When he is staring at something or someone his eyes frequently extended out of his head. Like turtles he can withdraw into his chest when he chooses to. Bender can also survive in lava for a short time, though when he displays this ability his eyes melted as soon as he came out of the lava. Bender's body has also been used as a popcorn maker {{et|1ACV05}}, crock pot {{et|6ACV23}}, and steam engine (6ACV23).<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
[[File:Montholdbender.png|thumb|left|Bender when he was only a month old {{et|2ACV14}}.]]<br />
<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
Bender Bending Rodriguez was built in the year 2996 in Tijuana, Mexico by [[Mom's Friendly Robot Company]]. Bender was built without a backup unit, which is meant to help him backup data so that if his body was destroyed he could upload his data into another body. Without this unit Bender was recognized as defective and therefore not to tarnish [[Mom]]'s Company he would need to be destroyed. However, [[Hermes]] (who worked at Mom's Robot Company back then) was in charge of destroying defective robots and chose not to kill Bender {{er|6ACV06}}. He authorized Bender's approval and Bender left the factory defective and mortal. He <!-- studied Bending at Bending State University --> minored in Robo-American Studies. As a bending unit, he spent his life before he met Fry bending girders to be used for suicide booths. After learning what the girders were for, he tried to kill himself, but was unsuccessful. He gave up on that when Fry claimed that he was his only friend in the future. Along with Leela and Fry, he joined Planet Express as a crew member.<br />
<br />
=== You really want a robot for a friend? ===<br />
{{further|Season 1}}<br />
While waiting in line to kill himself on 31 December, 2999, [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who was clearly not familiar with suicide booths, stood in front of him, thinking it was a phone booth. Bender helped him along. But they managed to get out of the suicide booth alive. Bender soon learns that Fry is from the 20th Century and had been frozen for a thousand years.<br />
<br />
But since Fry refused to get [[Career chip|assigned]] to his job, [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] was on his tail. Bender helped him escape through the [[Head Museum]] and soon down to [[Old New York]] below [[New New York]]. Here Leela finally caught up with them and agreed to help Fry. Bender decided to stay with them and they headed over to Fry's nephew, [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor Farnsworth]]. Farnsworth soon offered them jobs, and luckily for them, he had the proper career chips.<br />
<br />
=== Farnsworth's asset ===<br />
As an employee at Planet Express he continued his kleptomania, drinking and smoking. He convinced Fry to [[I, Roommate|move in with him]] at his [[Apartment 00100100|apartment]] and soon [[Hermes Conrad]] forced him to actually do something around the company. He got assigned as chef of the company, one of his dreams was apparently to cook, but having no sense of taste made vile meals for the staff.<br />
<br />
Bender got into trouble when he began abusing electricity (jacking on), and his friends were not in favor of it. Saddened by their discontent, he sought new opportunities in [[religion]]. He joined Robotology, but this only served to make him more annoying to his friends. So they decided to make Bender sin to become his regular self again, inadvertently condemning him to [[Robot Hell]]. Feeling guilty, Fry and Leela tracked Bender down and saved him from the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
<br />
Bender has, in fact, found true love before, in the form of an aristocratic fembot, the [[Countess de la Roca]], whose relationship with him strongly resembled that of the protagonists of the movie ''{{w|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}''. When the ''[[Titanic]]'' ship was being sucked into a black hole (due to [[Zapp Brannigan]] altering the ship's course), she was the only passenger to go down with it. But, despite this, his personality continued to be a problem for his friends, and Leela became very upset with him when he flushed [[Nibbler]] down the toilet. The Professor "carefully" implanted an empathy chip in Bender, which forced him to feel Leela's every emotion for a short while.<br />
<br />
[[File:Bender.png|thumb|right|180px|An older promotional picture of Bender.]]<br />
<br />
=== The lesser of two evils ===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
During a visit to [[Past-O-Rama]] they bumped into [[Flexo]] (serial number: 3370318), another bending unit, possibly also of the same model number (22). Flexo and Bender became good friends, but Fry feared that Flexo is evil, and in a mix up at the Miss Universe contest Flexo was arrested for Bender's attempt to steal the tiara.<br />
<br />
Bender briefly joined the [[Robot Mafia]] and fought in the [[Ultimate Robot Fighting]] League until his popularity slipped and he was rigged out of the league. Together with his fellow robots he rebelled against [[Humans|humanity]].<br />
<br />
=== Well - I'm rich ===<br />
Bender's Uncle [[Vladimir]] died and Bender was to inherit his castle, on the condition that he had to spend one night within its walls. Bender was not at all comfortable in his new castle and the start up sound of Windows 98 was not helping either.<br />
<br />
While being chased by several hologram ghosts, he fled out in the yard where he was run over by a [[Were-Car|were-car]]. The collision caused a virus to be beamed into him and he became a were-car. Bender did not realize this until later, but the [[Gypsy]] told them the only way to get rid of the virus would be destroy the original were-car. So through a long journey they found the original were-car and destroyed it, and thus Bender was free of the virus.<br />
<br />
Whether he kept the castle or not is unknown.<br />
<br />
=== Now when I'm found in a million years, people will know what the score was ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<br />
Bender continued his life with many adventures together with Fry and Leela. He temporarily worked for [[Calculon]] as his water heater. He met up with Flexo again, but this time he was not happy to see him, because Bender figured that his second true love was still in love with Flexo. Bender screwed it up and the divorcees got back together.<br />
<br />
He was briefly sent to an institute for insane robots, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who went temporarily insane. He got to go on tour with [[Beck]] after becoming paralysed from a freak accident with a can opener, thus fulfilling his dream of becoming a folk-singer, became Pharaoh of an entire planet, driving everyone (including Fry and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]]) into slavery, and beat [[Elzar]] on the [[television]] show ''[[Iron Cook]]''. However, he did not accept the title of Iron Cook, only the lesser title of Zinc Saucier (which he made up, and comes with double prize money).<br />
<br />
During a battle with [[Space Pirates]], Bender was shot out through the torpedo slot and was forced to drift through space. He, for some time, became the God of the [[Shrimpkins]], which was a life form that had grown on his stomach. But, after they viciously killed each other in a nuclear war, started by Bender's need for booze, Bender met up with the [[Galactic Entity]], who he believes ''is'' God. The Entity eventually sent Bender back to [[Earth]] after receiving a radio signal from Fry.<br />
<br />
=== I should not be allowed on TV! ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
<br />
[[File:Bender-TV.JPG|thumb|right|Bender as [[Antonio]] on ''[[All My Circuits]]'' {{et|4ACV06}}.]]<br />
<br />
Bender was still wanting his fame, he found interest in becoming [[Bender (All My Circuits)|the new]] [[Antonio Calculon, Jr.|Antonio]] on [[All My Circuits]]. He got the job. But Calculon was hardly impressed by Bender's performance, however the Network executives disagreed. So Bender got to continue on the show, but in his true nature.<br />
<br />
But when Bender realized that his behaviour on TV causes [[Dwight Conrad|Dwight]] and [[Cubert Farnsworth|Cubert]] to steal his stuff, he called off the show.<br />
<br />
Bender joined Fry and Leela briefly as they gained super powers in [[the New Justice Team]], he has had an affair with the [[Planet Express Ship]], he got modeled into a fembot and had a relationship shortly with Calculon, and helped [[Robot Santa]] as a replacement.<br />
<br />
=== Dumb dumb away! ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
But the company got into trouble when the [[Box Network]] canceled its license, and for two years they were not able to deliver packages. Luckily though, their license was renewed and they went back in business.<br />
<br />
Bender became the centre of attention as the new masters of the company lead by [[Nudar]] infected him with an [[iObey]] virus and they forced him to go back in time and steal all of Earth's valuables. But when Fry managed to escape back into the past, they send him after Fry to kill him, and after 12 years tireless hunting, he managed to do so.<br />
<br />
But he soon learned that the Fry he killed was doomed anyway because he was a [[time paradox duplicate]]. But after being stranded on [[Neptune]] for a while, humanity and he decided to fight back, and after the war was won (with the help of Hermes), he revealed that he himself had kept [[the Spheroboom]] that the scammers had told him to keep safe, thus saving the day. <br />
<br />
However, while on a trip back in time to make sense out of everything that had happened that year, a mishap led to him accidentally tearing the universe open.<br />
<br />
=== Death to humans! ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
After becoming an official stalker for [[Calculon]] by Calculon, Bender fell into a deep depression after Calculon informed him that there was no such thing as the [[League of Robots]], a society of robots which came to the aid of robots abused by humans, and which Bender had worshipped for his entire life. He contemplated commiting suicide until he was approached by the League led by Calculon himself; he lied about its non-existence to ensure its secrecy.<br />
<br />
Bender became the newest member of the League and began to personally enforce the no-humans policy of the organization, becoming very famous within it. However, Bender was caught helping his human friends and his bluffs were called by Calculon, whom Bender challenged to a duel. Bender broke the rules of the duel, severely injuring Calculon and nearly exposing the League, but instead of being kicked out of the League, Calculon resigned his position as President and gave it to Bender.<br />
<br />
Bender organized the [[Army of the Damned]] (trading [[Bender's First Born Son|his firstborn son]] to the [[Robot Devil]] for it) to take over the world, only to discover that its entire population was already leaving to live on the body of a giant tentacled monster named [[Yivo]]. Bender soon received a letter from Fry describing how wonderful life was there, but Bender ended up interfering by [[The Robot Invasion of Heaven|attacking Yivo]] and attempting to bring humanity back. Soon, for personal reasons, Yivo unwittingly complied with Bender and had everybody return to Earth.<br />
<br />
=== I know not of this Bender ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Bender finds himself attempting to catch up with a game of Dungeons and Dragons, played by [[Cubert Farnsworth]] and his friends. He soon hits the obstacle of realising he has no imagination. But the more he tries, he eventually believes he is [[Titanius Anglesmith]], Fancy Man of [[Cornwood]].<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, his imagination grows wild, and he is sent to [[HAL Institute]] to be cured. The therapy is unsuccessful and they decide to give him a "robotomy". But during the operation, the [[dark matter]] crystals becomes close enough, allowing Bender's imagination to become real.<br />
<br />
In his fantasy, he is the owner of a castle. When he hears of [[Waltazar, Larius and Ignus|Black Knights]] approaching, he sets out with his friends, [[Leegola]] and [[Frydo]]. Discovering the [[Die of Power]], he sets off to [[Great Wizard Greyfarn|Greyfarn]], where they learn of the story behind the Die. Titanius is slightly against the quest, but decides to tag along. On several occasions, he refers to going back, such as when they have just passed through the [[Cave of Hopelessness]].<br />
<br />
On the other side, [[Fellowship]] decides to seek [[Wipe Castle]] for help. Unfortunately, the [[King of Cornwood]] is insane, and the entire royal army is gone, because the king declared war on scallops, tied the entire army to a rock, and pushed them into the ocean. As [[Momon]]'s forces arrive, they have a large, unwinnable battle at hand. But as things seems darkest, [[Leegola]] and her centaur army saves Wipe Castle. Knowing of Frydo's quest, the Fellowship decides to go help him. However, they are too late and Momon wins the battle, causing them to return to their world.<br />
<br />
=== I'm...so...GREAT!! ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
Bender takes a trip to [[Mars Vegas]] with the rest of the crew. There, he falls in love with [[Fanny]], a burlesque dancer, who is the [[Donbot]]'s wife. He enters the [[Universal Poker Championship]] Tournament for her and wins against Fry with five kings.<br />
<br />
After returning to Earth, Bender feels upset that the [[Feministas]] are committing more felonies than him. He gets hired by [[Zapp Brannigan]] to help him capture the Feministas. By getting Bender to wire tap Fry's "cellphone-telephone" Zapp finds out where the Feministas are hiding and chases them aboard the [[Nimbus]], along with Bender and [[Kif Kroker|Kif]]. After an exciting space chase, Bender captures the Feministas and goes against them in court. They are found guilty and sent to [[Maxi-Padlock]] Prison.<br />
<br />
Bender then breaks into the women's prison and helps the Feministas escape, because by doing so, he would have committed way more felonies than the women. He bends a brick wall and calls Farnsworth, who pilots the Planet Express Ship down to rescue them from the prison's forces. They crash a demolition ceremony, and in the end, Bender is sent through a [[Panama Wormhole|wormhole]] with the rest of the Planet Express Crew.<br />
<br />
=== Dying sucks butt! ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
After crashing the ship into Earth and being rebirthed {{et|6ACV01}}, Bender starts a [[robosexual]] relationship with [[Amy Wong|Amy]] {{et|6ACV04}}, after [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] dumps her for flirting with criminal inmates, despite his previously affirming that "[[Humans]] dating [[Robots]] is sick" {{et|3ACV15}}. Amy and Bender decided to marry, and manage to pass [[Proposition ∞|a proposition]] to legalize robosexual marriage. However, Bender leaves her upon realizing she wants a monogamous marriage. He participated in a [[Sith Invasion re-enactment|re-enactment of the Sith-il War]], after which he learned that he was built without a back-up unit {{et|6ACV06}}. He then goes with [[Hermes Conrad]] to determine why. Despite failing to do so, Bender uses the experience to reaffirm his stance on life. <br />
<br />
Later, Bender witnesses robots undergoing evolution on a [[Robo-planetoid|deserted planetoid]] {{et|6ACV09}}. He was nearly killed after [[Mind-switcher|switching bodies]] with a [[Emperor Nikolai|Robo-Hungarian Emperor]] {{et|6ACV10}}. Later, he threw a [[100th Delivery Party|party celebrating Planet Express' 100th delivery]] {{et|6ACV12}}. After abruptly ending the party, Bender participated in the [[Devolution Revolution]], using his expertise to bend the [[Westside Pipeway]]. <br />
<br />
When the crew crashes on [[Neutopia (planet)|a gender-neutral planet]], everyone's genders are switched in a freak accident and Bender resumes his feminine [[Coilette]] persona before the genders are corrected {{et|6ACV20}}. He then runs havok with the Professor's duplicator, creating exponentially miniature versions of himself that almost consume Earth but later band together to save it from [[Unattractive giant monster|a hideous monster]] {{et|6ACV17}}, though he dies soon afterward when a [[suicide booth]] murders him {{et|6ACV19}}. Bender lingers as a ghost but bargains with the [[Robot Devil]] to get his material body back in exchange for [[Fry]]. He attempts to scare him to death, but when Fry discloses his love for Bender, Bender refuses to kill Fry and ends up protecting him. [[Robot God]] then invites Bender to an existence in Robot Heaven as his reward, but Bender declines and returns to the crew.<br />
<br />
After crashing a [[Robot Mafia]] wedding and making out with [[Bella]], [[Donbot]]'s daughter, Bender is forced to enter the witness relocation program {{et|6ACV14}}, and [[Francis X. Clampazzo|Clamps]] replaces him at work as an in for the Mafia to discover Bender's whereabouts and kill him. The crew is led to the [[Moon]] to [[Billy West (robot)|a hillbilly robot]] identical to Bender, but Bender is discovered to be in hiding as a waiter at the [[Family Bros. Pizza|pizza parlor]] across the street, and returns to work when the Mafia takes him for dead.<br />
<br />
=== A new child ===<br />
{{further|Season 7}}<br />
<br />
[[File:The Bots and the Bees screenshot.png|thumb|right|Bender and his son [[Ben]] {{et|7ACV01}}.]]<br />
<br />
In [[3012]], Planet Express acquired a new soda machine named [[Bev]]. They did not get along very well, but a fight of theirs eventually culminated in sex. The next day, Bev gave birth to Bender's child. Bender did not take this well, worrying over his fatherhood and eventually learning about robot reproduction for the first time, as his mother's religious fundamentalism kept her from teaching him this information. He attempted to give custody of the child to Bev, presenting her with a certificate of abandonment, but she too did not take having a child well, and she left Bender with custody of the child. Though he was initially disappointed over this, he eventually discovered that his child took an interest in bending. Naming the child [[Ben Rodriguez|Ben]], they formed a bond with each other, but to their surprise, discovered that Ben's lack of arm control software and an additional expansion slot prevented him from bending. At Ben's Bot-Mitzvah, Ben expressed for his appreciation for his father as well as his hopes of bending just like him. At the ceremony, however, Bev regained custody of Ben, separating him from his father. That night, Bender broke Ben out of [[Bev's trailer]], but were caught in their escape by the police, who arrested Bender on grounds of kidnapping. Bev showed up at the scene and gave birth to [[Bev and URL's child|another child]], and content with having another child to neglect, allowed Bender to keep Ben. Ben, however, was still disappointed in not being unable to bend, so he takes up an offer by the Professor to have a bending card installed in him - consequently losing all his memories of Bender. Bender, though tearful, allowed the surgery to go on, and eventually accompanied his son to his enrollment at [[Bending State University]] in Santa Cruz {{et|7ACV01}}.<br />
<br />
He later briefly worked as a paparazzo for ''[[Us People]]'' magazine {{et|7ACV04}}.<br />
<br />
In [[3013]], Bender entered [[NNY Recreation Center|a tap-dance contest]] {{et|7ACV25}}.<br />
<br />
=== Ruler of Earth ===<br />
After Nixon's fourth term in office began, things went downhill for the Earthican population to the point when robots began doing all the tedious labor and consequently, they began a rebellion led by Bender {{et|7ACV03}}. At some point between 3014 and 3028 Bender became ruler of Earth and started killing humans, thus fulfilling his life-long desire.<br />
<br />
== Character description ==<br />
<br />
=== Composition ===<br />
Bender routinely claims to be made of thirty to forty percent of various metals, typically following his claims up by knocking on his own chassis. Unfortunately, his credibility on this matter is thrown into question by the fact that his various claims now add up to well over one hundred percent. Bender has alternately claimed to be:<br />
<br />
*40% zinc {{et|1ACV13}}<br />
*40% titanium {{et|A Head in the Polls}}<br />
*30% iron {{et|The 30% Iron Chef}} - Presumably mixed with osmium. {{et|3ACV17}}<br />
*40% dolomite {{et|4ACV07}}<br />
*40% luck/horseshoes ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]) - Composition of the horseshoes unknown.<br />
*40% chromium {{et|Attack of the Killer App}} - Bender was not the one to make this claim, it was an [[Antarian]].<br />
*60% storage space {{et|The Prisoner of Benda}}<br />
*40% scrap metal {{et|All the Presidents' Heads}}<br />
*40% wire {{et|Decision 3012}}<br />
*40% empty {{et|Free Will Hunting}}<br />
*0.5% nickel impurity ([[A Pharoah to Remember|3ACV17]])<br />
*40% lead ([[Futurama (video game)|FVG]]) - Canon status of video game uncertain.<br />
<br />
In "[[Near-Death Wish]]", Bender states that a set of virtual adaptor caps stored inside of him (that he uses to get himself, Fry and Leela into [[Virtual Retirement]]) are "40% safe", but this probably wouldn't count as part of his composition. In "[[Assie Come Home]]", Bender's body (except for his eyes and mouth) is stolen, so he uses the help of Fry and Leela to retrieve it. After finding his head, antenna and torso, he says: "I'm 40% back, baby!". This is a combination of two of Bender's [[catchphrase]]s; one being him stating a percentage of what he is composed of, the other being "I'm back, baby!".<br />
<br />
Total: 150% - 370% or greater. The number is dependent on whether or not one counts various claims as true. First the "40% Horseshoes" claim, as the supposed horseshoes could have been made of one or more of the other metals previously stated (Titanium, Iron, or Lead), meaning that one could have been a restatement rather than a new figure. Second, it depends on whether or not he considers his storage space and wires to be part of the total percentage of himself, in which case the remaining 40% each that he often claims to be would constitute the rest of his body. Third, the claim of "40% Lead" is dependent on whether the video game can be considered canon. Fourth and finally, whether the claim of "40% Chromium" is accepted at all. This claim was not made by Bender but rather one of the Antarians. It is plausible that the claim is false and that it was just made to justify the in-progress cannibalization of Bender's body. All this can be considered false if we account for the fact that Bender often loses body parts, and it is possible that replacements have a differant substance mixture.<br />
<br />
Even if all previous points made are taken into account and only the first four claims were used, Bender's composition would be 150%, far more than what is possible. This error can be explained as due to Bender's being a poor calculator, making it plausible that he has given the wrong percentages {{et|3ACV09}}.<br />
<br />
Additionally, he has a 0.04% nickel impurity, which doesn't ''increase'' total percentage, but slightly ''decreases'' the percentages of everything else. This is apparently not a standard impurity, and is cited as making him unique {{et|3ACV17}}.<br />
<br />
There's also a mention that robots are made from recycled beer cans and beer cans are made from recycled robots {{et|1ACV08}}, so depending on the year 3000 composition of beer cans, he may have a certain percentage of aluminum in his alloy.<br />
<br />
This running gag is referenced in the title of the episode "[[Forty Percent Leadbelly]]".<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
[[File:Bender's Xmas 2.jpg|right|thumb|[[Bender's mother]], whom he refers to as his mommy {{et|2ACV04}}.]]<br />

*[[Fanny]]<br />
*[[Amy Wong|Amy]]<br />
*[[Bella]]<br />
*[[Bev]]<br />
*[[The wife of Dean Suspendington]]<br />
<br />
=== Age ===<br />
According to himself, Bender was originally constructed in [[2998]], making him one year old when Fry met him in 2999, but several later discoveries supports the theory that he was in fact born earlier. Bender's memory as newborn is as a complete, fullgrown robot, but events in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" suggest that his current, fullgrown body merely was the final stage, and it is possible that Bender only remembers entering this final stage - what he considers being born.<br />
<br />
In Season 6 episode "[[Lethal Inspection]]", it is revealed that Hermes supervised Bender's construction before getting the job in [[Planet Express]], and is seen much younger than he must have been in the late [[2990s]]. We also see that the state in which he was supervised - reminiscent of a human baby - much differs from the one Bender remembers from 2998. In "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", it can be shown that Hermes was already in the company in [[2993]], and thus Bender must have been born in that year at least, and possibly even earlier. However, Hermes might have quit, worked for Mom, and come back.<br />
<br />
[[File:Roswell that ends well.jpg|thumb|right|220px|The events of "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" aged Bender's head 1055 years ahead of his body.]]<br />
<br />
The events in "[[Roswell that Ends Well]]" make his head 1055 years older than the rest of his body. The incident in "[[Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles]]" does largely not count as an aging or the opposite, and fans largely regard his age to remain intact. In {{f|1}}, Bender travels back in time several times, though the amount of times is unknown, the amount of Benders that appear at the end, may suggest at least a couple of thousand times. Given how many of these travels seems to be between 1000 to 5000 years in the past (from about 3007), an educated guess would make him at least a million years old, but probably more. An alternative theory could suggest when the time duplicates explode at the end of the first film, Bender is the same age he was at the end of the original run plus 995 years, as the Bender that went back 995 years in time to kill Fry is presumed to be the original and therefore wouldn't expire like the rest of them.<br />
<br />
Also, "in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]", with the addition of the [[forward time machine]], he has witnessed the end of the universe twice. Traveling in the time machine meant Bender's experience was relative, and aged no more than the standard time experienced within the time machine. The universe at present is estimated to be 13.7 billion (13,700,000,000) years of age, and the time until the estimated "end" or "death" of the universe is 10<sup>150</sup> (far too large to write without powers). Assuming the new [[Big Bang]]s occurred the moment the previous iteration of the universe died and that scientific estimates of the past and future are correct, Bender has existed (but only partially aged) for 27,400,000,000 + 20<sup>150</sup> plus some odd thousands and hundreds of years. Thus, making Bender the oldest character in the series(including Bender's Big Score time travel).<br />
<br />
In the comic, "[[Rust in Peace]]", it is revealed that Bender, due to too much time travelling, must be inserted into a renewed unit. Farnsworth determines his age to be 27,203 before moving him to his new body. But 27,203 seems a lot less than what would be a quick educated guess. 27,203 would require Bender to have gone at least about a thousand years back each time and only gone 27 times, or instead gone more years back and done fewer than 27 times. But regardless of the ordeal, the amount of Benders appearing at the end of ''Bender's Big Score'' seems to contradict this fact. The event in the comic is thus not considered [[canon]].<br />
<br />
=== Durability ===<br />
Bender frequently displays incredible durability, to the point that he appears to be indestructible. He has been completely flattened, hit point-blank with a shotgun, had several chips removed from his severed head, then had his head [[Roswell That Ends Well|buried for over a thousand years]], had his lower torso melted from a cosmic electrical disturbance, been [[Godfellas|launched out of a torpedo tube then withstood atmospheric reentry]], [[Jurassic Bark|submerged himself in lava]], and been burned to nothing but his eyes and mouth after converting his body entirely into wood<br />
(though this was a [[Obsoletely Fabulous|dream]], but it is implied the dream could actually happen). In "[[Rebirth]]", after having been nearly eaten by a [[cyclophage]] and have a [[Doomsday Devices|doomsday device]] explode inside him, he remarks "What does it take to kill me?". A bomb has also exploded inside him in "[[War Is the H-Word]]" (twice). He survives being shot point-blank at [[Lrrreconcilable Ndndifferences|least]] [[Law and Oracle|three]] [[Benderama|times]] in Season 6, survived [[Neutopia|being completely melted]], was [[Ghost in the Machines|able to come out of Limbo after having been killed]] and [[The Tip of the Zoidberg|had his head sliced in half by spinning blades.]] However, due to several scenes in which injuries disappear, Bender appears to have some sort of auto-repair unit.<br />
<br />
However, as it's revealed in "[[Lethal Inspection]]", Bender was built without a backup unit. This means he can't download his personality or memories to another body, which he wanted to do if his original body got killed. Therefore, if his body is destroyed, he dies. As it turned out, [[Hermes Conrad|Inspector #5]] was the one responsible for mercifully approving Bender as a perfect robot, thus allowing him to live despite actually being a defective [[Robots|robot]].<br />
<br />
=== "Shitting bricks" ===<br />
Usually when he is frightened or under duress, Bender occasionally "[[wikt:shit a brick|shits bricks]]". He does so in the following episodes:<br />
* {{e|1ACV01}}<br />
* {{e|3ACV13}}<br />
* {{f|2}} -- He does so twice in this episode.<br />
* {{e|7ACV02}} -- It is in this episode that Bender deliberately defecates a single brick, to use for vandalism.<br />

== Additional Info ==<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
*Bender is bending unit 22. "Bender Bending Rodriguez" has 22 letters.<br />
*Bender's e-mail address is: bender@iloveBender.com<br />
*It is recommended that he run on 5 gigawatts.<br />
*Interestingly enough, Bender appears to have been an entirely different [[Robot]] before having met Fry. They meet when Bender is (at the very least) guilty and willing to kill himself over his dismay at finding out that the girders he had been bending were for [[suicide booth]]s. However, after Bender bends the bars keeping them from escaping Leela, Bender declares that from then on he will live his life only for him and do only what he wants to do. This may, however, just be an overlook by the writers of the show simply for the sake of introducing Fry to the drastic changes the future has brought (booths that are as ubiquitous as phone booths for suicide; walking, talking Robots).<br />
**This sudden change could be explained by the electric shock Bender received shortly before bending the bars. Not only did it change his programming, it changed his opinions on various things.<br />
**A year later however, Bender presents a picture of himself when he was only a month old with a bottle of beer and a cigar {{et|2ACV14}}, showing he has always been a "precocious little scamp" {{et|3ACV06}}.<br />
**It could also be that Bender was already programmed to be a kleptomaniac, since in the episode "[[Mother's Day]]", it is shown that "Bender units" see several humans and robots as theft targets, including Fry (who is seen as a rube). If this is how Bender is programmed, Bender should be posing as Fry's friend so that he can later rob him and leave him in a ditch. Though this does seem consistent with how he views Fry as a chump and how he treats him poorly (and on more than one occasion stole his blood), this is not consistent with how he constantly saves Fry's life over the series. This, in conjunction with the fact that Bender feels guilty for helping build suicide booths, could mean that Bender is actually a model with a defunct sense of morality (compared to other Bender units) and that the electric shock that seemingly turned him amoral actually just reverted him back to his original programming (though a few bugs in his morality remained).<br />
*He has been [[New New York v. Bender|charged]] for pimping.<br />
*Bender's apartment number is 00100100. This is a binary representation of the ASCII character '$' or 36 in decimal.<br />
*Bender's serial number is 2716057. This can be expressed as the sum of 2 cubes. Specifically, 952<sup>3</sup> + (-951)<sup>3</sup>.<br />
*Additionally, he seems to be the [[1729]]<sup>th</sup> unit produced by his "mommy".<br />
*The word "bender" can refer to a drinking spree, hinting at Bender's heavy alcohol use.<br />
*Bender's head contains a {{w|MOS Technology 6502|6502 Microprocessor}} {{et|1ACV13}}, and his ass an {{w|Athlon II}} {{et|6ACV25}}. It is possible that inbetween the events of {{et|1ACV13}} and {{et|6ACV25}}, he got a processor change, which would make sense considering that the Athlon II was introduced in 2009. After Cubert overclocks Bender's ass, Bender discovers that he has "an extra processor in his compartment of mystery".<br />
*Bender dies at the end of both of his what-if scenarios in each Anthology of Interest and both have one of the characters saying "Goodnight, sweet prince" (Fry in the first and Farnsworth in the second) to Bender when he dies.<br />
*His self-destruct code is "1A2B3". However, this appears to cause only his head to self-destruct, leaving the rest of his body intact and functional. This is a reference to the self-destruct codes of the [[USS Enterprise|USS ''Enterprise'']] from ''[[Star Trek]]: {{st|Star Trek: The Original Series|The Original Series}}'' episode "{{st|Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (episode)|Let That Be Your Last Battlefield}}" and the ''{{st|Star Trek III: The Search for Spock|Star Trek III: The Search for}} [[Spock]]'' movie. However, the final code that must be entered is "0 0 0 Destruct 0" which leads to the destruction.<br />
*Bender cannot have magnets attached to his head, or it will "screw up his inhibition unit", thus causing him to sing crazy variations of folk songs.<br />
*Apparently stole the Prime Minister of Norway's arm.<br />
*Despite Bender being made of various metals as hard as iron and titanium, [[humans]] and other organic organisms seem to have little to no difficulty harming his metal body using only their fists and feet.<br />
*His birthstone is [[Robobium]].<br />
*Is able to simultaneously reattach each of his severed arms with the other.<br />
*He cannot get up when he is knocked on his back. At least not until he learns how to from the majestic turtle.<br />
*His [[antenna]] interferes with satelite televisions, along with some cellphones.<br />
*He, along with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], appears in all episodes of the series.<br />
*No one can say he doesn't own John Laraquette's Spine.<br />
*In addition, he seems to own the skeletal remains of Charlamagne, as shown in "[[Jurassic Bark]]".<br />
*Bender has Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, fear of the number 666, as hinted in "[[The Honking]]".<br />
*Bender is the most evil robot in the series, as acknowledged by [[Robot Santa]] and the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
*Bender has named his hands "Grabby and Squeezy," and his footcups "Stompy and Smashy."<br />
*Bender's favorite cause of death is being crushed to death by a big rig driven by The Incredible Hulk.<br />
*In Firefox 3, if you type "about:robots" into the address bar, a page with several cultural references to robots is displayed. The fourth bullet point says "Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten."<br />
*His vanity plate reads “1 DVS BSTD” (one devious bastard).<br />
*He said the last sentence in all 4 [[film]]s: "Well, we're boned" {{et|BBS}}, "I love you, meatbags!" {{et|TBwaBB}}, "Whip harder, Professor!" {{et|BG}}, "Into the breach, meatbags. Or not, whatever" {{et|ItWGY}}.<br />
*Bender's waste management facilities may convert material he consumes into bricks.<br />
*Bender's mighty robot powers allow him to get sick of things much quicker than humans.<br />
*Bender is said to be roughly 500 pounds in "[[Gender Bender]]" but in ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' he says he is 2 tons. Despite this, he is shown as being easily lifted and carried by Fry in "[[Ghost in the Machines]]", suggesting that he may be significantly lighter than either of the above figures.<br />
*He goes into sleep mode whenever there is too much exposition.<br />
*Bender has appeared in ''[[Family Guy]]'', "[[The Simpsons]]", and ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''.<br />
*He has referred to his chest compartment as his "compartment of mystery" (6ACV25).<br />
*Bender was featured on the front cover of all the ''[[Futurama]]'' [[DVD releases|DVDs]], until [[Volume 6]].<br />
*In March 2012, hackers elected Bender to the {{w|District of Columbia Public Schools|D.C. school board}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ccinsider.comedycentral.com/2012/03/02/futuramas-bender-elected-to-dc-schoolboard/|title=Futurama's Bender Elected to DC School Board! <nowiki>|</nowiki> Comedy Central Insider <nowiki>|</nowiki> Funny, TV and Comedy Blog|author=Tobey, Matt|date=2012-03-02|site=[[Comedy Central]] Insider|accessdate=2012-03-02}}</ref><br />
*Even though his head has been shown to function as a camera many times before (the first time being in "[[When Aliens Attack]]"), he still carries around his own portable camera (with film!) to remember "neat" events.<br />
*He owns a black-handled switchblade, which he often uses to sharpen wooden sticks to use for protection while in prison.<br />
*Bender can be considered the ''Futurama'' equivalent of {{s|Homer Simpson}}, from ''[[The Simpsons]]''.<br />
*What's the connection between Bender's 40% dolomite composition and his side-career as a pimp? There is a 1974 film titled ''{{w|Dolemite}}'' (not to be confused with Bender's ''{{w|dolomite}}''). The film's main character, Dolemite, is a pimp who leads an army of hookers skilled in kung-fu.<ref>[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072895/ IMDB - Dolemite]</ref> What a bizarre coincidence: the role sounds custom-made for Bender.<br />
<br />
=== Name ===<br />

<br />
=== Voice ===<br />
Of all the voices on the show, Bender's voice was the most difficult to cast. This is because none of the creators and crew were sure what a robot should sound like yet. So they had every voice actor who auditioned also audition for the role of Bender. Even [[David X. Cohen]] was suggested for the role.<br />
<br />
[[John DiMaggio]] originally auditioned with Bender's voice for Professor Farnsworth. Among the bases for the voice were the character of Taggart from ''{{w|Blazing Saddles}}'' and DiMaggio's original character "Charlie the Sausage Lover". In {{commentary|Spanish Fry}}, David X. Cohen joked about it also being "90 parts John DiMaggio."<br />
<br />
=== Catchphrases ===<br />
Bender's basic [[catchphrase]] is "[[Bite my shiny metal ass]]".<br />
<br />
Variations on this include the following:<br />
*Bite my red-hot glowing ass! {{er|1ACV12}}<br />
*Lick my frozen metal ass! {{er|2ACV04}}<br />
*Bite my colossal metal ass! {{er|2ACV16}}<br />
*Bite my splintery wooden ass! {{er|4ACV14}}<br />
*Bite my glorious golden ass! {{er|4ACV15}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal face!! {{er|BG}}<br />
*Bite my shiny metal hat. <small>(said by [[Fry]])</small> {{er|ItWGY}}<br />
*Bite my tiny metal ass! <small>(said by a microscopic [[Bender duplicate]])</small> {{er|6ACV17}}<br />
*''Bite my fhiny metal aff'' {{er|6ACV23}}<br />
*Byte my 8-bit metal ass! <small>(said by Bender during the video-game segment)</small> {{er|6ACV26}}<br />
<br />
Other common catchphrases are:<br />
*"[[Me, Bender]]": whenever he says "me", he usually follows it with "Bender", thus producing the sentence "me, Bender." Thus making this the most said character name on the show.<br />
*"Well, [[we're boned]].", said in situations where he, or a group of people including him, are in a large amount of trouble.<br />
*"I'm back, baby!" whenever he makes an intriguing appearance on the scene; Bender had also said the phrase "We're back, baby!" on numerous occasions, particularly in reference to the series' revival. At one point, Bender just said, "Yeah, we're back." while filing his "nails" after escaping the wormhole.<br />
*"[[Neat!]]", when Bender is taking a picture with [[Bender's camera|his purple camera]], usually of something disturbing or disgusting.<br />
*"Cheese it!" whenever he encourages other characters to run away from trouble. This is used less commonly.<br />
*"[[Fun on the bun]]", another less common catchphrase that is used whenever Bender describes amusement.<br />
*"He's pending for a bending.", a phrase used as a warning very few times throughout the show.<br />
*"[[Bender is great!]]", like "Me, Bender", he usually likes to say this to emphasize his enormous ego.<br />
*"Oooh!", a ghostly/eerie noise often accompanied by jazz hands when feigning supernatural abilities, etc... (The Gypsy machine also did this once to Fry)<br />
*"[[Kill all humans]]..." This is a much more prevalent saying of Bender's in the early episodes.<br />
<br />
Bender also has a tendency to call humans "meatbag" when he is displeased or annoyed with them. Additionally, Bender regularly says "Kill all humans", although, in [[The Sting|Leela's dream]] he claims to whisper "except one", referring to Fry, every time too. In "Naturama" when Bender is represented as an elephant seal, he mutters "Kill all penguins" in his sleep.<br />
<br />
[[File:Anthology.jpg|right|thumb|Giant Bender as seen in a "What If?" scenario, about to get attacked by giant [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] {{et|2ACV16}}.]]<br />
<br />
As stated in "[[War Is the H-Word]]", the top ten words that Bender uses more than any others is as follows:<br />
<br />
<ol start="10"><br />
<li>Chump</li><br />
<li value="9">Chumpette</li><br />
<li value="8">Yours</li><br />
<li value="7">Up</li><br />
<li value="6">Pimpmobile</li><br />
<li value="5">Bite</li><br />
<li value="4">My</li><br />
<li value="3">Shiny</li><br />
<li value="2">Daffodil</li><br />
<li value="1">Ass</li><br />
</ol><br />
<br />
It is by no means impossible that the second word in the list is not "metal" considering all the variations of his catchphrase. In reference to his use of the word "daffodil", he said the sentence "Hot-diggidy-daffodil" in this episode and again in {{f|2}}. "Chumpette" is only uttered once though. "Pimpmobile" was also spoken by Bender in [[Futurama (video game)|the game]]. However, in all likelihood, Bender's real most spoken words would most likely be along the lines of any other speaker of the English language: the, and, I, a, so; etc. However, such words may have been excluded from the list<br />
<br />
=== Assets and titles ===<br />
Bender has, over the years gained many assets and ranks in various organizations and a large amount of wealth. Some of these include:<br />
<br />
*Served as Prime Minister of [[Trisol]] under the brief rule of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry the Solid]] (most likely terminated when the old emperor came back into power or when Bender and the rest of the crew fled Trisol).<br />
*A castle, inherited from his [[Vladimir|uncle]], though possibly forfeited when he failed to spend a night within.<br />
*Leader of the [[League of Robots]]<br />
*Commander of the [[Army of the Damned]]<br />
*[[Iron Cook]], on the television show of the same name (Zinc Saucier)<br />
*The [[Dirty Double Cross]], Earth's highest honor in swindling<br />
*[[Calculon]]'s official stalker (possibly fired when he maimed Calculon during a duel)<br />
*Spy for the [[DOOP]]<br />
*An enormous amount of wealth from various crimes<br />
*Pharaoh of [[Osiris 4]]<br />
*Prime Minister of Norway, due to him having the real Prime Minister of Norway's hand AND career chip<br />

'''Jan Hooks''' (23 {{April}}, [[1957]] – {{date|9 October}}, [[2014]]) was an American actress and comedian, most recognised for her work as a repertory player on ''{{w|Saturday Night Live}}''. Coincidentally, she was in the same cast as Nora Dunn starting in [[1980s|1986]] (Hooks did audition to be in the 1985-1986 cast, but she was passed up for Joan Cusack), though Hooks stayed on ''SNL'' until [[1991]] (and made a string of cameo appearances from 1992 to [[1994]]). On ''SNL'', her characters included Candy Sweeney (one half of the Singing Sweeney Sisters. Her sister, Liz, was played by Nora Dunn), Nancy Simmons (Garth's girlfriend on the ''Wayne's World'' sketches), and Miss Connie, the storyteller and hostess of ''Miss Connie's Fable Nook''. Her celebrity impressions included Betty Davis, Greta Garbo, Sally Kellerman, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, Jessica Hahn, Sinead O'Connor (especially in the episodes following the real Sinead O'Connor ripping Pope John Paul II's photo on a live episode to protest against the Catholic Church), Betty Ford, Ivana Trump, and Marla Maples. <br />
<br />
On ''Futurama'', Hooks voiced [[Flexo]]'s girlfriend, [[Angle-ine]], in "[[Bendless Love]]", and allegedly came up with the throaty voice of her by smoking cigarettes. Jan Hooks also did voice work on ''The Simpsons'' as Apu's wife, Manjula, but was since replaced with Tress MacNeille.<br />
<br />
On 9 October, 2014, Hooks passed away at the age of 57.<br />

Fry|Fry]], and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]. She is known as the most competent of the three main characters.<br />
<br />
== Personality and abilities ==<br />
During her youth, Leela was often teased because she only had one eye. She felt very lonely in her childhood after being abandoned by her parents at an orphanarium, and always dreamed of learning who her real parents were. She eventually learns that she is a mutant, rather than an alien, which she had always thought she was. Leela has been shown to care a great deal about her mutant parents, even stealing a priceless [[Quantum Gemerald]] from a museum along with Bender and Fry, when the Zookeeper threatens to feed them to piranhas.<br />
<br />
Despite her troubled past, Leela is friendly, smart and self-reliant, though she is sometimes impatient and quick to anger. She cares deeply for her friends and loved ones, plus issues she feels she must stand up for, like freedom, the environment and cute animals. However she does not hesitate to use force if she believes the situation demands it. She also has a liking for violence and was often sarcastic, but she nevertheless seems to have developed strong maternal instincts at times. She is engaged in a constant low-intensity feud with [[Amy Wong]], the only other female at [[Planet Express]], who more or less frequently accuses her of not being ladylike enough to be a true woman, despite Leela having a strong sensitivity for cuteness and romantic issues.<br />
<br />
Leela lives alone in a somewhat under-furnished apartment (Apartment 1i) somewhere in the city of [[New New York]]. She only shares her loneliness with her alien pet, [[Nibbler]]. <br />
<br />
As a [[Sewer Mutants|mutant]], Leela has a peculiar metabolism different from that of standard humans. Mutagens cannot harm her, and she seems resistant to many poisons, environmental hazards and illnesses. Her special condition may have helped her fight off the threat by the [[The Sting|Baby Space Bee Queen's poison]], and it proved instrumental for finding the cure against the [[The Cure For The Common Clod|common cold]] that had New New York in its clutches. (Although in [[Cold Warriors]], Leela's metabolism was not involved in finding the cure, but a vaccine was extracted from an experimental virus sample found on Enceladus). Also, it might explain why Leela is so fond of sports and so well-muscled. As a recruit of the [[Earth]] forces, she surpassed every other recruit on the training ground, even well-trained males, and has shown extraordinary strength, dexterity and stamina on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
Leela is also highly skilled in martial arts which has been shown on numerous occasions.<br />
<br />
She is also shown to be obsessive at times, and in "[[Möbius Dick]]", this reached a critical level when she began displaying symptoms of multiple personality disorder as a result of the futile efforts of attempting kill a [[Four-dimensional space whale]] that devoured their latest delivery. She also has an [[iPod]] {{et|5ACV14}}.<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
=== Early years ===<br />
[[File:Baby Leela.jpg|thumb|Leela as she was found in the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium|Orphanarium]]]]<br />
Turanga Leela was born as the only child of a married couple of [[Sewer Mutants|mutants]] in the [[NNY Sewers|sewers]] of [[New New York]]. Her parents are [[Turanga Morris and Munda]]. As Leela is probably the least mutated mutant ever born (as described to her parents by a medical professional), and looked like a normal child except for her one eye, her parents decided that she should not share the fate of her people living in the sewers. They instead chose to give her a life as normal as possible - a "real" life - by giving her up to the [[Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium]], though it was a tough decision and they suffered greatly by giving her away. Attached to the basket she was found in was a note in an [[Alien Languages|alien language]] written by her mother [[Turanga Morris and Munda|Turanga Munda]], who has a Ph.D. in exolinguistics. She meant for the note to convince the finder of her daughter that she was an alien and thus accept her into the orphanarium. The plan worked, and Leela was taken in by the head of the orphanarium, [[Warden Vogel]].<br />
<br />
Leela grew up in the orphanarium unaware of her true roots, believing that she was indeed an alien. She had a hard time there, as she was relentlessly picked on because of her unusual appearance, and was always a lonely outsider. As a child she wore a monocle and, later, braces. Nevertheless, or maybe because of this, she managed to develop a strong and caring personality. As an outlet for her deep frustration, she trained in Arcturan Kung Fu to the level of a black-belt by a master of this martial art, [[Fnog]], despite being a victim of his obvious sexism.<br />
[[File:Teenage Leela.jpg|thumb|left|Leela as a teenager]]<br />
<br />
=== Hired at Planet Express ===<br />
{{further|Season 1}}<br />
After leaving the orphanarium, she began a career as Fate Assignment Officer at [[Applied Cryogenics]], assigning defrostees to their permanent careers and providing them with the proper [[Career Chip|career chips]]. Then one day a defrostee named [[Philip J. Fry]] came along and inspired her to quit her job. Ultimately, she ended up being hired by Fry's many-times-great-nephew [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Hubert Farnsworth]] as the new captain for his interstellar delivery service, [[Planet Express]]. In that position, she acquired her beloved pet [[Nibbler]], after saving him from the implosion of [[Vergon 6]]. She also rescued Fry from the [[Trisolians]], attempted to destroy the [[giant ball of garbage]], escaped from the ''[[Titanic]]'' and helped save the world from the [[Omicronians]] in the [[First Omicronian Invasion of Earth]] in the same year that she was hired.<br />
<br />
=== Another Cyclops ===<br />
{{further|Season 2}}<br />
From going on the [[Internet]], Leela believed to have found another cyclops, and would finally find out her true home planet. The cyclops turned out to be [[Alcazar]], who took her to [[Cyclopia]], where she supposedly was born. Leela decides that she must marry Al to continue their species. When Al tried to marry Leela, however, it turns out that Al was really a shape-shifting grasshopper, who was going to marry four other women of different alien races. She leaves the planet disappointed, but hopeful.<br />
<br />
That same year, she almost lost Nibbler to [[El Chupanibre]], but he was saved by Bender, after Leela learned to be selfish. She was briefly named Miss Universe at the [[Miss Universe Pageant 3001]] by [[Zapp Brannigan]] by accident. She discovered [[Popplers]] but was almost killed by [[Lrrr]] when [[Second Omicronian Invasion of Earth|the crew found out that Popplers were the Omicronians' young]]. She also served in the [[DOOP Army]] in [[The Battle of Spheron 1]].<br />
<br />
=== Helping the Nibblonians ===<br />
{{further|Season 3}}<br />
After having her pet Nibbler named "Dumbest Pet in Show" at a pet competition, Leela is shocked to learn that Nibbler is actually a high-ranking member of [[Nibblonians|an ancient alien species]]. The Nibblonians tell her that their old enemy, the [[Brain Spawn]], is making everyone on Earth stupid, and that Fry is the only one that can stop them, due to his lack of the [[Delta Brain Wave]]. She gets Fry to fight the [[Big Brain]], and Fry wins. The brains leave Earth for no "raisin" and Nibbler blanks Leela's memory. Later, she gets a second eye crafted in, but removed it because of [[Adlai Atkins|her new boyfriend's]] insensitivity. She also got married briefly to Fry, joined the [[New New York Mets]] and traveled back in time and helped cause the Roswell incident.<br />
<br />
=== Leela's real home planet ===<br />
{{further|Season 4}}<br />
Leela was later captured by the Sewer Mutants, along with Fry and Bender, who wanted to punish them for dumping toxic waste in the sewers. They were rescued by [[Turanga Morris and Munda|two mysterious strangers]] who convinced the Supreme Mutant to change their punishment into a life-long banishment from the sewers, instead of execution. Leela, curious about the strangers, jumps back into the sewers and chases the two back to their house, threatening them with a gun. The two tell her that they were the ones who killed her parents, and Leela, in an uncontrolled rage, almost killed them, but was stopped by Fry. It is revealed that the two were actually Leela's parents, and Leela rejoices. Leela also impregnated [[Kif Kroker]], became a superheroine called [[Clobberella]], was stung by a [[Space Bee]], and sold her hand in marriage to the [[Robot Devil]] in exchange for some mechanical ears.<br />
<br />
=== Meets Lars Fillmore ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Big Score}}<br />
Shortly after Fry's opera, Planet Express delivery license is canceled. However; either due to the Box network's or the Professor's incompetence, it took two years for the staff to be informed. The true period of joblessness lasted for a few moments before Planet Express was "back on the air," During a party to celebrate the company's renewal, [[Hermes Conrad|Hermes']] head is chopped off in an Limbo accident, and Leela meets [[Lars Fillmore]] at the Head Museum. Ownership of Planet Express is stolen by the [[Scammer Aliens]] who discover the [[Machine Language Time Code|secret to time travel]] on Fry's ass, but Leela and Lars' relationship grows undisturbed. Fry watches them date with great envy and anger.<br />
<br />
Despite both Leela and Lars getting laid off from their jobs, due to the Scammers tricking people out of their possessions, Lars proposes to Leela and Leela agrees. At the wedding, Hermes' head is chopped off a duplicate of his body that Bender went back in time to pick up for him. The professor inadvertently reveals to Lars that a [[Time paradox duplicate]] is always doomed to die. Lars calls off the wedding and left Leela to depression.<br />
<br />
Later, the entire population of Earth is forced to move to different planets, due to [[Richard Nixon's head|President Nixon]] being scammed out of Earth's remaining land and water. The crew moves to [[Neptune]] in response. There, [[Santa Claus]] is unable to attack them, being in a deep depression over being scammed out of his "Naughty List." They team up and plan to defeat the Scammers. At first, Nixon is skeptical of their chances to succeed, but Santa gets his [[Santa's Workshop|factory of elves]] to build powerful weapons for the army. The small army that they assembled fought against the Scammer's fleet of [[Remote-controlled solid gold Death Star|Solid Gold Death Stars]], but their first leader, Zapp Brannigan, was taken down. Leela takes his place, but soon realizes that she can't control so many ships at one time. Thus, Hermes's head uses his bureaucratic skills to control the other ships and take down the Scammers' fleet.<br />
<br />
During the 3008 New Years Eve Party that took place on Earth shortly afterward, Fry sees how sad Leela is without Lars and realizes that if he really loved her, he would care more about her happiness, rather than his own. He tries to get Leela back together with Lars, but is interrupted by [[Nudar]], who survived the battle and wants to kill them. Lars sacrifices himself and saves Fry and Leela. After seeing the machine language time code on his butt, Leela realizes that Lars is actually Fry's [[time paradox duplicate]]. The crew all attend Lars's funeral where his video will explains what happened after he traveled back in time and why he decided not to marry Leela. <br />
<br />
Later, Nibbler has Bender go back in time one last time to put the Time Code on Fry's butt to start the entire cycle. After completing his mission, Bender convinces the duplicates of him to return to the present instead of "coming up where they were logically supposed to." The large paradox caused by hundreds of Bender's makes a large rip in time and space.<br />
<br />
=== Last tentacle-free person in the universe ===<br />
{{further|The Beast with a Billion Backs}}<br />
When the rip in time and space starts producing tentacles that attach itself to people, Leela and the crew (except Fry), become one of the few isolated pockets of tentacle free people. The crew try to escape Earth, but are blocked by [[Dr. Ogden Wernstrom|Dr. Wernstrom's]] [[Diamondillium]] shield. They take cover in the Planet Express Building, along with Wernstrom, but [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] is taken. Fry tries to get them to come out and join [[Yivo]], but they refuse. Later, the tentacles infiltrate the building and the Professor, Hermes, and Wernstrom are overcome by the tentacles. Leela escapes with Amy on a [[Party Board]].<br />
<br />
While hiding in an alley, it is revealed to them that Zapp Brannigan was also free. They all hide together in an abandoned soup cabin in a remote area. The next day, Leela finds out that Zapp had slept with Amy, but is more surprised at the fact that the tentacles have found them. Leela manages to escape with a piece of the tentacle, but Zapp and Amy do not.<br />
<br />
Leela goes back to Planet Express and examines the piece with a telescope. She realizes that the tentacles are actually [[Coinage#G|Gentacles]] and that Yivo was actually mating with everyone in the universe. She pretends to have a tentacle attached and goes into the Church of [[Yivo's Religion]] where she reveals to the world the truth. The religion is abandoned, but they eventually go on a date with Yivo to make up. The Earthican council decides to break up with Yivo due to shkler lack of commitment, but Yivo proposes to them before they could say anything. Everyone in the universe moves to [[Parallel universes|Yivo's Universe]], but Leela was forced to go, despite being against it.<br />
<br />
On Yivo, Leela was skeptic about the heavenly paradise at first, but when she finally admits to being happy, Bender and his [[Army of the Damned]] invade Yivo and takes them back to their universe.<br />
<br />
=== Leegola ===<br />
{{further|Bender's Game}}<br />
Later in 3008, Leela is goaded by [[Sal]] into entering the Planet Express Ship into the [[Space Demolition Derby]]. She leads the crew to a victory, but finds herself in trouble when Zoidberg tattles to the professor about her reckless behavior. Leela is forced to wear a shock collar, designed to give her and electrical shock if she has any violent thoughts, among others.<br />
<br />
After several hopeless attempts to convince Zoidberg, the staff doctor, that she doesn't need the collar any more, Leela grew accustomed with the electrical shocks and even begins to enjoy them. She, along with Fry and the professor, launch an [[Planet Express' Attack on Mombil "Mine"|attack]] on the [[Mombil]] [[Dark Matter]] mine in [[Alaska]]. She aids the team greatly by using her violence and eventually discovers that the mine was actually a farm that harvested the fecal matter of [[Nibblonians]]. Leela also finds her pet [[Nibbler]] there.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, in the middle of the battle, the floor cracks open and Leela is sent to [[Cornwood]], the land created by Bender's imagination. There, she becomes a centaur named [[Leegola]]. She joins [[Frydo]], [[Titanius Anglesmith]], [[Gynecaladriel]], and the [[Great Wizard Greyfarn]] in forming the [[Fellowship]] and embark on a quest to defeat [[Momon]], queen of evil. However, halfway through the quest, Leegola realizes that in her rage she had murdered an [[Zoidberg (Cornwood)|innocent monster]]. She vows not to harm another living being again and joins the other, more peaceful [[Centaurs]].<br />
<br />
Leegola later finds out that her friends were endangered by [[Momon's Army]]. She returns back to normal and convinces the other centaurs to form their own army and fight against Momon. In doing so, Momon's Army is defeated and her friends are saved. She, along with most of the Fellowship, go to the [[Geysers of Gygax]] where Momon destroys Cornwood and sends them back to the real world. Dark matter then becomes useless as fuel and they temporarily use Nibblonians as transport.<br />
<br />
=== The new leader of the Feministas ===<br />
{{further|Into the Wild Green Yonder}}<br />
Leela, along with the rest of Planet Express, took a trip to [[Leo Wong]]'s [[Mars Vegas]], where they meet [[Frida Waterfall]] and the [[Feministas]]. Leela feels concerned about Leo's disrespect for nature in building the city, and adopts the last [[Desert Muck Leech]].<br />
<br />
Later, Leela and Amy were allowed into [[Wongminster]], Leo's miniature golf club. Leo plans on destroying twelve percent of the Milky Way to expand his club, and sends Planet Express to do a scan for life in the twelve percent. Although they find a life filled asteroid, orbiting a [[Violet Dwarf Star]], Professor Farnsworth ignores it and approves the area for demolition anyways. Upset at the disregard of the men, Leela joins the Feministas.<br />
<br />
Leela was part of a Feminista protest at Wongminster, where, due to an accident, they kill the [[Headless body of Agnew]], and flee, becoming fugitives. While hiding, Leela encourages the rest to be more forceful in protecting the environment by sabotaging Wong's construction of the golf course. They gain more and more members, and eventually take over the Planet Express Ship, as well as Hermes, Zoidberg, and Farnsworth.<br />
<br />
Later, Fry unwittingly lures the Feministas out of their [[Honeybun Hideout]], and leads to an exciting space chase through the miniature golf course where the Feministas ultimately get arrested by Bender. They have a trial ([[Earth v. Feministas]]), where they are sentenced to [[Maxi-Padlock]], a prison for women.<br />
<br />
After spending a few days in prison, and unsuccessfully trying to break out with Leela's muck leech, they are broken out by Bender, Farnsworth, Hermes, Zoidberg, and Scruffy, although only Leela, Amy, and LaBarbara managed to escape. They go to the Violet Dwarf, where they manage to stop it from getting destroyed, just in time for it to hatch into [[The Last Encyclopod]]. it is revealed that the muck leech was [[The Last Dark One]], and it is killed after it murders [[Hutch Waterfall]]. The Encyclopod preserves Hutch's DNA, and leaves. Zapp then chases the Planet Express crew in the Nimbus. Leela confesses her love of Fry and they kiss before flying into the [[Panama Wormhole]] to escape. <br />
<br />
=== Reborn ===<br />
{{further|Season 6}}<br />
The [[Planet Express]] [[Planet Express ship|ship]] goes through the [[Panama Wormhole]] and exits in [[Earth]] orbit. The ship is shot by [[Zapp Brannigan]]'s flagship [[Nimbus]] and thus loses power and crashes in front of the company [[Planet Express headquarters|headquarters]], killing all the [[Planet Express crew|crew]] except the [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|Professor]] and Leela who was saved by Fry. Saddened by Fry's death, she builds Robot Fry at a [[Build-A-Bot Workshop]]. Unfortunately, due to excess wiring in his stomach, he short circuited killing Leela and wiping both of their short term memories. Then, Robot Fry build a [[Robot Leela]]. When Leela is finally awakened, she fought with the Robot Leela, until the real Fry is reborn. The two robots then leave forever and everything is back to normal {{et|6ACV01}}. She is later send with Zapp to the V-GINY, but they crashed on an unknown planet. It i slater revealed it was a plan of Zapp to seduce Leela {{et|6ACV02}}. Fry discovered her singing boil and published the video on Twitcher, making the whole world laugh of Leela {{et|6ACV03}}.<br />
She went in Rome to discover Da Vinci's secret {{et|6ACV05}}. When Hermes traveled to Mexico, she temporarily became a bureaucrat {{et|6ACV06}}. On her birthday, she went on a date with Fry who was late {{et|6ACV07}}. She switched bodies with Amy who was in the Professor's body, and have sex with Fry in Zoidberg's body {{et|6ACV10}}.

[[File:Elbowtalons.jpg|right|thumb|Leela's other mutation.]] <br />
<br />
=== Mutations ===<br />
As a sewer mutant, Leela has mutations. The most obvious is her only eye making her a cyclops. But she also shown she has a second mutation. She grows skin covered spikes, called "[[Coinage#E|elbow talons]]", from her elbows. However, she usually trims these ([[The Beast with a Billion Backs|TBWABB]]). She later revealed that she has a third mutation which was discovered by Fry in [[3010]], a talking boil on her body named [[Susan]] {{et|6ACV03}}. According to her, she has 205 bones, making her one less than normal humans {{et|6ACV22}} but this could simply be because she only has one eye.<br />
[[File:Leela 2eyes 1.jpg|right|thumb|Two-eyed Leela.]]<br />
<br />
===Two-eyed Leela=== <br />
<br />
Leela has been seen with two eyes several times, though each time it appeared different: <br />
*"[[When Aliens Attack]]" &mdash; To portray the role of Jenny MacNeal, a plastic eye is taped to the side of her face (which [[Dr. John Zoidberg|Zoidberg]] later eats). This is clearly the least-convincing appearance of a two-eyed Leela.<br />
*"[[Amazon Women in the Mood]]" &mdash; When the Amazonians are approaching, a puddle ripples, causing Leela's reflection to distort, showing her briefly with two eyes. Her eyes appear to be rounder than the others.<br />
*"[[The Cyber House Rules]]" &mdash; A second eye is grafted onto Leela's face. She later realizes she's better off being different, and has it removed. Her eyes are more narrow.<br />
*"''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]''" &mdash; When the Professor asks if Leela is winking or blinking, Leela wears a pair of two-eyed glasses with a {{w|lenticular printing|lenticular}} "winking" animation to clarify.<br />
<br />
=== Alternate Appearances ===<br />
<br />
*'''[[3ACV15]]''': '''Parallel Leela:''' The only difference apparent between Leela and her counterpart in the parallel universe (the ''only'' alternate universe at the time) was that parallel Leela (along with the rest of the parallel Planet Express crew) was wearing a cowboy hat and vest when both crews visited the [[Edge of the Universe]]. Whether this is the norm for the parallel Crew, or was due to some difference in parallel Fry's touristy adventure that day was never mentioned.<br />
*'''[[3ACV18]]''': '''Witch Leela:''' In Leela's dream, she asked to become the new Wicked Witch.<br />
*'''[[4ACV04]]''': '''[[Clobberella]]:'''Leela turns into a superhero named Clobberella.<br />
*'''[[Bender's Game|BG]]''': '''[[Leegola]]:''' In Cornwood, she turns into a centaur named Leegola.<br />
*'''[[6ACV20]]''': Leela temporarily becomes a man.<br />
*'''[[6ACV26]]''': Leela is drawn in {{w|anime}} style.<br />
<br />
=== Relationships ===<br />

==Additional Info== <br />
[[File:Leela's Contact Lens.jpg|right|thumb|Leela's Contact Lens]]<br />
===Trivia=== <br />
*Her name can be interpreted in several ways: "Leela" sounds exactly like the term for "purple" in several languages, including German, Spanish, Portuguese, French (''lilas''), Danish (''lilla''), Swedish (''lila'') and Hungarian (''lila''). A further possibility is that the name is a parody of the heroine from ''The Fifth Element'', ''Leeloo'' - the perfect woman. Additionally, in Bungie's 1994 Macintosh game Marathon, there is an AI character named Leela. Lastly, she might have been inspired by a character from the British Sci-Fi series ''[[wikia:c:tardis:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]]'' bearing the same name ([[wikia:c:tardis:Leela|Leela]]). "Turanga" may be derived from the symphony "{{w|Turangalila}}" by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992). The term derives from Sanskrit and means, alternately, "Song of Love" and "Hymn to Joy". Alternately, Turanga may derive from {{w|Taronga Zoo}}, the name of which is an Indigenous Australian word for "beautiful view". <br />
*Even though Turanga is her family name and not her first name, it is said first when pronouncing her full name which may mean [[Leela's parents|her family]] is from East Asia, Hungary, Sri Lanka among other places in which surnames are said first in a personal name. <br />
*The designers kept trying to make Leela's nose smaller, because it was larger than they thought appropriate for a female character, but [[Matt Groening]] insisted it stay the larger size. <br />
*Unlike [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], who is frequently chopped to pieces in the series, Leela tends to lose the use of her senses instead, namely sight and hearing. <br />
*As Fate Assignment Officer, her code number was 1BDI (or "one beady eye") {{et|1ACV01}}.<br />
**In another occular pun, Leela's apartment number is 1I.<br />
*Books read by Leela include ''True Stories of Courageous Animals'' {{et|3ACV02}}, ''[[Great Machete Battles]]'' {{et|4ACV01}}, ''Dances of the ancient Bronx'' {{et|4ACV07}}, ''A Child's Garden of Space Legends'' {{et|4ACV09}}, and ''[[World's Bravest Hamsters]]'' {{et|6ACV06}}, plus the magazine ''[[Nosy Inquirer]]'', headline: ''Bigfoot turns 80!'' {{et|4ACV15}}.<br />
*Tends to snore.<br />
*Always uses lipstick, mostly pink, and is rarely seen without it.<br />
[[File:Lipstick.jpg|thumb|Leela applying lipstick]]<br />
*Used to brew her own beer at the orphanarium.<br />
*Can do the Robot Dance like no one else.<br />
*Owns her own harpoon.<br />
*Tends to fill her day with humdrum activities.<br />
*Is camera-shy.<br />
*Usually prepares her dinners in advance for one month and then freezes them.<br />
*Sometimes seen with a lime-green jacket in earlier episodes and Season 2.<br />
*For obvious reasons, no one can give the evil eye quite like her.<br />
*Adept in the use of weaponry like laser guns or machetes.<br />
*Used to play the drums.<br />
*Tends to play with her hair when upset or nervous.<br />
*Frequently accused of poor hygiene (sweaty boot rash, etc), but may be at a disadvantage due to her mutant physiology and energetic lifestyle.<br />
**As shown in [[Anthology of Interest I|the very first ''Anthology of Interest'']], Leela does not seem to wear socks under her boots. This may attribute to the 'poor' hygiene of her feet.<br />
*Usually, Leela only wears jewellery on special occasions. The exception from this was the ring in "[[Space Pilot 3000]]" that [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] stole; it was never seen again. She also wears a bracelet made by [[Turanga Morris and Munda|her father]] at all times.<br />
*Apart from [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] and [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]], she is the only character that appears in every episode of the show and in every comic.<br />
*Has had five weddings; three were called off, and the other two were followed by divorce. [[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot]] performed the first three of these, [[Father Changstein El-Gamal]] performed the fourth. A sixth proposition was made, but the wedding never actually took place. It is unknown who performed her wedding to Cubert in "[[The Late Philip J. Fry]]".<br />
**To [[Alcazar]], {{et|2ACV09}}<br />
**To [[Philip J. Fry]], followed by divorce, {{et|3ACV14}}<br />
**To [[Robot Devil]], {{et|4ACV18}}<br />
**To [[Lars Fillmore]], {{et|5ACV03}}<br />
**To [[Yivo]], no wedding, ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'' - {{et|5ACV08}}<br />
**To [[Cubert Farnsworth]] (in a previous universe, towards the mid [[31st century]]) {{et|6ACV07}}<br />
*Can wield a gun with her foot, and hides one in her boot for easy access.<br />
*May very well be [[The other|the second-most important person in the universe]] behind Fry (though she doesn't know it).<br />
*Actually continued to legally work at [[Applied Cryogenics]] until [[2ACV11]]<br />
*Has been seen in a lime-green tank top (instead of her usual white one) once, in "[[My Three Suns]]".<br />
*Apparently wears a large contact lens.<br />
*Wears size 12 shoes.<br />
*Slept with Fry in her what-if scenario in "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" and possibly in real life (see "[[The Duh-Vinci Code]]"). Unambiguously slept with Fry in "[[The Prisoner of Benda]]", while her mind was in the Professor's body and Fry's mind was in Zoidberg's body.<br />
*Licks her fingers starting with her pointer and ending with her thumb.<br />
*Her surname is revealed in the episode "[[The Problem with Popplers]]".<br />
*She'd prefer to have the end locker at [[Planet Express headquarters|Planet Express]], but [[Amy]] won't trade with her.<br />

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

<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them. [[Special:Contributions/92.24.142.236|92.24.142.236]] 23:15, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />
:Can't think of any, sorry.<br />
:Why ''should'' it only be for independent wikis? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 00:46, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::That is how NIWA operates. I also would prefer no Wikia wikis, we can persuade them to move away instead. [[Special:Contributions/92.29.186.76|92.29.186.76]] 07:27, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I understand. But what if a wiki on ShoutWiki wants to join? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 16:32, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, I think that wikis on any wiki host other than Wikia (I just really hate Wikia) then they should join. If a ShoutWiki wiki wants to join then they'll be free to join (I am quite biased towards ShoutWiki though, even though Wikisimpsons is moving from ShoutWiki, I am an admin on the hub and a trusted member and the staff like me :P) and I am even working on a Bob's Burgers Wiki while another user of Wikisimpsons is working on an American Dad wiki. Just no Wikia I think. If any one else would like to have Wikia wikis, we'd need a vote. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.182.244|92.7.182.244]] 17:00, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::So we're the [[UN]]. Sounds good to me. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 17:30, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm with pretty much everyone else. This sounds like a great idea. More traffic, cross-linking, and basically an exclusivity contract. And no Wikia! (because the word itself still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after our early dealings with them (hint: stolen content!)) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 08:32, 28 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:When I took over Futurama Wiki, I made a point not to steal content from here. However, I now 100% hate Wikia and I want to destroy them. If others also seem to dislike the idea of Wikia wikis joining, then no Wikia wikis will join.<br />
:If everyone seems to like the idea, we would need someone to host a hub site similar to NIWA. Alternatively, we could make a wiki hub and get editing limited to admins who would the the hub staff and a forum on it too (ShoutWiki has got a new WikiForum extension). This would be the alternative if no one can host and design a site. [[Special:Contributions/92.20.137.92|92.20.137.92]] 20:49, 29 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Are all IPs the same person? I'm getting confused. Please consider creating a user. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 08:30, 30 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Sorry, wasn't logged in. Thought I was. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 09:50, 30 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hey, I'm Will k! And, if anything, I'm Solar the Dragon's business associate on the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance (we're both heading it). I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances. [[User:Will k|Will k]] 14:12, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I think all Infosphericans agree that nothing bad can come from this, only good publicity, and so we agree that we're on it. At least that's my impression. Should we have some vote for all users or something of the like? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 14:16, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Well, if you guys are in, we need to start thinking up the rules for joining and drawing up how we're going to be doing this, a hub site or hub wiki, who will host etc. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 14:19, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::As I said we have to decide if we want first. Lots of users don't look at this page, and I think everyone, not only admins, should weigh in on it. When we have given thumbs up, then we'll talk details. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 14:25, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I think so. The ballot box is now in place. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 19:18, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::While I have not participated in this discussion, I have paid attention to it and think an alliance of The Infosphere, Wikisimpsons, and other animated sitcoms is a good idea. My two favorite shows and wikis in one place! -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 19:43, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::I agree that most people don't see this area of the site (I barely see it myself unless I seek it out, which I often forget to do), so perhaps a news item on the front page? Or even one of those page header notifications? Is there a way to only make that show up for registered users? IP's don't get to vote! ;-) That way, even casual users are likely to be aware of it and vote. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 22:49, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I would think a general header banner (on all pages) with a link to this discussion/poll is the best way to go. The top time of having it up would be about a week, to make sure even those who only drop in once in a while see it. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 23:08, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::You can manipulate the sitenotice to only show for registered users. You just need to change MediaWiki:Anonnotice to something too. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 00:45, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:This would be good promotion. Joining the alliance (if it's the right one) is definitely beneficial. I say, we take the seat before Wikia does *shiver* --[[User:Trickymaster|Trickymaster]] 02:42, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::I selected The Infosphere as a founding member of the alliance as they are 1. Not Wikia. 2. Are affiliated with us. 3. The best Futurama wiki I can find. :) [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 10:32, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::Tried it. Didn't seem to change anything. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 22:39, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::Created ''[[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]]''. That will probably do. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 22:44, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::That sounded very reckless. And I'm feeling kind of stupid too. I've just realised ''Anon'' is short for ''Anonymous''. This, and me being logged in, will explain why nothing changed. Anyway, one week to go!<br />
:::::Solar, it appears to be working the way it is. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 23:19, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::Problem is, anons can still see this, which is why I suggested changing the [[MediaWiki:Anonnotice|Anonnotice]]. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 23:48, 3 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::::I know. (Damn them to hell!) What exactly needs to be changed? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 01:14, 4 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::::I would suggest changing the anonnotice to something like "Sign up an account", linking to the create account page. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 15:28, 4 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::::::[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Anonnotice&diff=403623226&oldid=363464447 Would changing it to <code><nowiki><p></p></nowiki></code> serve the same purpose]? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 19:20, 4 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::::::::I have no idea, you could try. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 11:07, 6 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
So, anyone else voting? [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 23:20, 13 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:We should have had a deadline planned ahead. It's been ten days, what if we go for a fortnight and end it on June 17 (this Friday)? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 23:23, 13 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Seems unanimous anyway. I doubt there would be enough voters in four days to tip the scales, so I say we just go for it. IMHO --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 00:44, 14 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::It sounds undemocratic to me to suddenly end a votation when we know what side will win, when no deadline was predetermined. But then again no-one ever claimed the Infosphere was a democracy.

I think that the only members should be INDEPENDENT wikis of the Animation Domination sitcoms. This means no Shoutwiki or Wikia tied ones. The shows that I think should also be part of the alliance the Adult Swim ones (I know VGod, the Devil and Bob was acquired, but still) and the Comedy Central ones. I don't feel that Cartoon Network ones like Johnny Bravo and 6teen would really be comfortable. Those are more kids-geared, while the ones I want to include are late teen and adult-geared--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 23:27, 17 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So not [[The Simpsons]]? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 23:28, 17 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::The Simpsons will have a reserved spot. It needs a completely independent wiki first--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 00:41, 18 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::If there are to be some exceptions, I don't see the point of having a radar like "Adult Swim and Comedy Central only" to begin with. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 00:48, 18 June 2011 (CEST) <br />
::::It's not just Adult Swim and Comedy Central. It's also Animation Domination. That would be the initial radar--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 01:01, 18 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them. [[Special:Contributions/92.24.142.236|92.24.142.236]] 23:15, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />
:Can't think of any, sorry.<br />
:Why ''should'' it only be for independent wikis? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 00:46, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::That is how NIWA operates. I also would prefer no Wikia wikis, we can persuade them to move away instead. [[Special:Contributions/92.29.186.76|92.29.186.76]] 07:27, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I understand. But what if a wiki on ShoutWiki wants to join? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 16:32, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, I think that wikis on any wiki host other than Wikia (I just really hate Wikia) then they should join. If a ShoutWiki wiki wants to join then they'll be free to join (I am quite biased towards ShoutWiki though, even though Wikisimpsons is moving from ShoutWiki, I am an admin on the hub and a trusted member and the staff like me :P) and I am even working on a Bob's Burgers Wiki while another user of Wikisimpsons is working on an American Dad wiki. Just no Wikia I think. If any one else would like to have Wikia wikis, we'd need a vote. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.182.244|92.7.182.244]] 17:00, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::So we're the [[UN]]. Sounds good to me. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 17:30, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm with pretty much everyone else. This sounds like a great idea. More traffic, cross-linking, and basically an exclusivity contract. And no Wikia! (because the word itself still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after our early dealings with them (hint: stolen content!)) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 08:32, 28 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:When I took over Futurama Wiki, I made a point not to steal content from here. However, I now 100% hate Wikia and I want to destroy them. If others also seem to dislike the idea of Wikia wikis joining, then no Wikia wikis will join.<br />
:If everyone seems to like the idea, we would need someone to host a hub site similar to NIWA. Alternatively, we could make a wiki hub and get editing limited to admins who would the the hub staff and a forum on it too (ShoutWiki has got a new WikiForum extension). This would be the alternative if no one can host and design a site. [[Special:Contributions/92.20.137.92|92.20.137.92]] 20:49, 29 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Are all IPs the same person? I'm getting confused. Please consider creating a user. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 08:30, 30 May 2011 (CEST)<br />

Hey, I'm Will k! And, if anything, I'm Solar the Dragon's business associate on the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance (we're both heading it). I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances. [[User:Will k|Will k]] 14:12, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I think all Infosphericans agree that nothing bad can come from this, only good publicity, and so we agree that we're on it. At least that's my impression. Should we have some vote for all users or something of the like? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 14:16, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Well, if you guys are in, we need to start thinking up the rules for joining and drawing up how we're going to be doing this, a hub site or hub wiki, who will host etc. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 14:19, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::As I said we have to decide if we want first. Lots of users don't look at this page, and I think everyone, not only admins, should weigh in on it. When we have given thumbs up, then we'll talk details. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 14:25, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:I think so. The ballot box is now in place. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 19:18, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::While I have not participated in this discussion, I have paid attention to it and think an alliance of The Infosphere, Wikisimpsons, and other animated sitcoms is a good idea. My two favorite shows and wikis in one place! -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] 19:43, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::I agree that most people don't see this area of the site (I barely see it myself unless I seek it out, which I often forget to do), so perhaps a news item on the front page? Or even one of those page header notifications? Is there a way to only make that show up for registered users? IP's don't get to vote! ;-) That way, even casual users are likely to be aware of it and vote. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 22:49, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I would think a general header banner (on all pages) with a link to this discussion/poll is the best way to go. The top time of having it up would be about a week, to make sure even those who only drop in once in a while see it. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 23:08, 31 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::You can manipulate the sitenotice to only show for registered users. You just need to change MediaWiki:Anonnotice to something too. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 00:45, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:This would be good promotion. Joining the alliance (if it's the right one) is definitely beneficial. I say, we take the seat before Wikia does *shiver* --[[User:Trickymaster|Trickymaster]] 02:42, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::I selected The Infosphere as a founding member of the alliance as they are 1. Not Wikia. 2. Are affiliated with us. 3. The best Futurama wiki I can find. :) [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 10:32, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::Tried it. Didn't seem to change anything. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 22:39, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

::::::That sounded very reckless. And I'm feeling kind of stupid too. I've just realised ''Anon'' is short for ''Anonymous''. This, and me being logged in, will explain why nothing changed. Anyway, one week to go!<br />
:::::Solar, it appears to be working the way it is. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 23:19, 1 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

:We should have had a deadline planned ahead. It's been ten days, what if we go for a fortnight and end it on June 17 (this Friday)? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 23:23, 13 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

I think that the only members should be INDEPENDENT wikis of the Animation Domination sitcoms. This means no Shoutwiki or Wikia tied ones. The shows that I think should also be part of the alliance the Adult Swim ones (I know VGod, the Devil and Bob was acquired, but still) and the Comedy Central ones. I don't feel that Cartoon Network ones like Johnny Bravo and 6teen would really be comfortable. Those are more kids-geared, while the ones I want to include are late teen and adult-geared--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 23:27, 17 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
:So not [[The Simpsons]]? - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 23:28, 17 June 2011 (CEST)<br />
::The Simpsons will have a reserved spot. It needs a completely independent wiki first--[[User:Icyweaner2999|Icyweaner2999]] 00:41, 18 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

:::::"The shows that I think should also be part of the alliance the Adult Swim ones [...] and the Comedy Central ones" are your words. I disagreed. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 01:04, 18 June 2011 (CEST)<br />

Hey Ketchup! I just saw you come in to the Wikisimpsons IRC channel. If you're willing to, I'd love to have a chat back there, and also because Solar Dragon and I are the ones making ASWA.

<br />
'''[[Matt Groening]]''': Hey everybody, this is Matt Groening welcoming you to the final DVD commentary of the final episode of ''[[Futurama]]''. We're recording this on February 20th, 2003, and this is an episode that hasn't aired yet, but by the time you're listening to this, you've probably watched it, and now you'll get the bittersweet commentary that is about to happen. Take it away, Billy. <br />
<br />
'''[[David X. Cohen]]''': [chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''[[Billy West]]''': Hi, this is Billy West, and I am the voice of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]], and you are about to hear a grown man weep. [Fake crying noises]<br />
<br />
'''[[Dan Castellaneta]]''': That grown man weeping is me, Dan Castellaneta, as the [[Robot Devil]].<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Yay!<br />
<br />
'''MG''': Dan Castellaneta, everybody! [clapping]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Special guest commentator.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Yeah, they waited until the LAST one for me to come in.<br />
<br />
'''[[Maurice LaMarche]]''': And I'm Maurice LaMarche and I play [[Hedonism Bot]] and a couple other characters in the show.<br />
<br />
'''[[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]''': Yeah, well you should try not stinking at it!<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': I'm David X. Cohen, executive producer.<br />
<br />
'''Bender''': Lessons? That's rich! Isn't it time you gave up all hope of ever improving...<br />
<br />
'''MG''': So what's the name of this episode?<br />
<br />
'''[[Ken Keeler]]''': Uh, "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings". That's I-D-L-E, contrary to what I've seen written in various places.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': And that's a play on?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': "Idle hands are the Devil's playthings", a phrase that probably hasn't been said in the last fifty or sixty years.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': I remember "An idle mind is the Devil's workshop".<br />
<br />
'''ML''': I remember...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Nah, that, that, that's not true.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': No?<br />
<br />
'''ML''': ...I remember "an idle...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''ML''': ...an idle thing is the Devil's playhand".<br />
<br />
'''?''': [chuckle]<br />
<br />
'''ML''': No? It didn't get said a lot.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': The Devil's pajamas.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Outside of Timmins, Ontario it never got said a lot.<br />
<br />
:''[Scene: Outside Holophonor School. The sign reads "Holophonor Teacher. Taking The Joy Out Of Music For 20 Years". Fry and Bender each ride a Segway on the pavement and Fry crashes his into Bender's.]''<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Ah, the, what are those things called?<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Those are the Segways.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Segways.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Now, the...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Nice segue, by the way.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Oh, thank you.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': They, uh, they haven't caught on yet as of today but again, by the time you're listening to this I'd assume...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': In the year 3003.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': In the year 3003.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...I assume you are standing on one right now while you're watching.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': Can you believe the, you hear those jerks in San Francisco tried to outlaw them?<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Why, they pollute too much?<br />
<br />
'''MG''': No, because they get in the way of people on sidewalks or, I don't know why.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': In the way of people on their scooters.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': You ask me, they are getting in the way of the future.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Take that, San Francisco.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Where we won't need legs. We'll just stand on Segways.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
:''[Everyone sits down and watches the boy with the untidy hair play Beethoven's Für Elise on his holophonor. The holographic smoke whirls around and forms a picture of an elegantly-dressed man and woman. The man plays an open grand piano and the woman sits on it. Some steps fly around the back of the piano and the woman walks up them. The man follows her and they climb into the clouds. A barrel rolls under them and scores 100 points for each like in the Donkey Kong game. The audience applauds. Bender leans over to the boy's mother.]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Now Ken, you're a musician, does this, does this part refer to any bitter memories of music lessons that you harbor?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Oh, very slightly. But I never, you know, it, the recitals were always tough, and I always felt like they would be something, you, Fry hanging around with little, with a bunch of little children and not be any better at it than they were.<br />
<br />
:''[Fry plays holophonor]''<br />
<br />
'''BW''': For this role I had to really work hard to play that [[holophonor]].<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': [laughs] Of course, you'll remember the holophonor from it's previous appearance in [[Parasites Lost|episode 302]], if I'm not mistaken.<br />
<br />
:''[Holographic Grumpy Snail growls]''<br />
<br />
'''?''': Oh, I think...<br />
<br />
'''Boy''': It's too grumpy!<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': The holophonor, as we've said in that episode is inspired by an instrument in, uh, the, uh, uh, that, uh, BOOK...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ??? ...In Foundation, one of the {{w|Foundation series|Foundation books}}, Isaac Asimov, the Mule plays an instrument much like that, except that it controls peoples minds, so it...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': There's so many Foundation books at this point...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...you have to narrow it down a bit more.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': I can hear all this great music in my head, but my stupid hands can't keep up.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': So Ken, what was the origin of this episode?<br />
<br />
'''Bender''': ...laughing at other peoples...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Uh, we thought of it. I mean...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Come on, make something good up.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Synapse???<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I don't remember anything particularly interesting. I mean, we were discussing the, uh, previous episode at, which at one time had a musical plot, and we thought it would be nice to have an episode with a lot of music in it, and that I think led us to the idea of the holophonor and the idea of Fry being, getting better at the holophonor and then the Robot Devil.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Right, yeah, [[Spanish Fry|episode 417]] originally, for a while we were trying to do something musical that involved [[Barbados Slim]] and we gave up, but I guess the music survived, and gave it to this one.<br />
<br />
'''[[Turanga Leela|Leela]]''': ...creative soul...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I think you're confused. Barbados Slim was [[Bend Her|413]], 417 ended up being the nose...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': No no no, I know that, but we discussed making 417 an episode which, which...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Oh!<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...of Barbados Slim...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Nobody told me that.<br />
<br />
[crosstalk]<br />
<br />
'''DC''': [sarcastically] Stop arguing, you two!<br />
<br />
'''MG''': Ladies and gentlemen, this is what it's like to be in the writer's room.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Ha ha.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Or a comic book convention.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Now by the way a, a question which is on everybody's mind who's watching this, I'm sure you're probably saying it out loud right now is, did we think this might be the last episode of the series when we wrote it, and the answer is, we did yes. We thought, we thought there was a probably a 50-50 chance, so we kinda wanted to hedge our bets and not have everyone literally wave goodbye at the end, but to, to at least go out on a sweet note, that you would, you would feel good about yourself.<br />
<br />
'''Bender''': ...religious visit. Fry just wants holophonor lessons.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': Yep. I need to get really good without practicing.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': Ahahahahaha! [[Robot Hell|Hell]] is full of ten-year-olds who wanted exactly the same thing. Trouble is, you have what my old music teacher...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Look at that, it's Dan Castellaneta as the Robot Devil.<br />
<br />
'''?''': Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Nice work.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Thank you.<br />
<br />
[clapping]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Featuring, I, I hope people noticed that, uh, we brought back [[List of song performances#Robot Hell|the song]] from the [[Hell is Other Robots|Robot Devil show]].<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': That's right, episode 109.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': But we have him here, and I can ask him a question. What's the origin of that voice?<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Well, it's a very bad impression of Hans Conried.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': [chuckle]<br />
<br />
'''DC''': That's true.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Which becomes a good impression of the Robot Devil.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': It becomes, that's the thing, it's like if you can do either impressions or bad, if you do a bad impression you can just say it's an original voice.<br />
<br />
'''?''': Right.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': A voice no one's ever heard before.<br />
<br />
'''?''': That's right.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': I, I always loved Hans Conried, of course is a famous character actor and uh, uh, I remember seeing him in, uh, or me seeing his work in ''Peter Pan'', and I thought it was an, a performance worthy of an Oscar as Captain Hook and ???...<br />
<br />
'''MG''': And also the dad, at the beginning of the, uh, of ''Peter Pan''.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': That's right.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': And I thought that was really weird. I was like, oh my god, the dad is Captain Hook.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Yes.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': He's gonna murder us!<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Sorry, sorry, I just wanted to interject a thing here, in the script we called for [[Wheel of Robots|this wheel]] to have millions and millions of Robot Devil, robot names on it, and we left it the animators [sic], and I don't know how much discussion there was about actually implementing it. [chuckles]<br />
<br />
:''[Wheel of Robots spins]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': And by the way, oh, uh, every single, every item is a real name and this shot you can freeze frame and they are all distinct robots that have appeared on the show. And uh, I, I think there are around 60 but I, at this point I forgot the number. Bret, do you remember?<br />
<br />
'''[[Bret Haaland]]''': 3003.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': No, it was like 60 or 80 and it was surprisingly easy to come up with that many robots who were, who, not only were in the show but we avoided ones who were just like, you know, Cleaning Robot that didn't really figure, they're all robots that actually kinda figured in the series.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': ...as a show of good faith...<br />
<br />
'''MG''': Maybe that's why we got canceled.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': We, we also rushed by a thing that I've noticed several times watching it since then that, that, I guess Bret put in or came from the storyboards. We're setting up all along that it's going to be Bender's hands and if you watch his hands during the scene leading up to that point, you see them a lot. He wiggles them, he, and he, attention is being called to them very carefully, just for that mislead.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': Oh sorry, that'll wear off in a couple of days. [He looks at his new hands and Fry falls to the floor, choking.]<br />
<br />
:''[Scene: Planet Express: Meeting Room. Farnsworth, Hermes, Leela, Amy, Zoidberg and Bender sit around the table. Enter Fry.]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': We also wanted the, uh, final episode to involve all of the characters, all the regulars, so that, you know, everyone has a part in the song. For example we, that was a, kind of another s...uh, constraint put on us by the fact that it might be the last episode.<br />
<br />
:''[Enter Scruffy]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Got Scruffy in there.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': You wanted it to involve ???.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': It made Ken's life a little harder composing the opera, but, what the heck.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': Hello, Fry.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': I love Ken's operas, they're...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': ...I'm an a, I'm a, I'm, no...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': ...no, I'm a musician, too, and I, and I think oh I'll just go in there and knock this off, and he's got the oddest configurations of phrasing, and I don't know where it's going until I hear it finally.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': It was about as much rehearsal as for an opera.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': This, it was...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Getting these songs.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Yes, they were, I mean these songs I should say were never, they were only intended for timing purposes, and not to be the final melodies, uh, or harmonies for that matter, and uh, [crosstalk with DXC, below] against my will...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Well, that's what you get for doing too good of a job. Take that!<br />
<br />
'''KK''': [chuckles] Against my will, they bear much more of a resemblance to the demos that I did than I'd hoped.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': They're great.<br />
<br />
'''BH''': The, the entire animation was inspired, actually, by Ken's voice. ???<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''BH''': Which was wonderful.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': That was...<br />
<br />
'''BH''': He hit all the high notes and everything.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...my, my tests were in there all the way through there. When we saw the animatic, I said OK, we hear my voice then the color it was ??? it was a big color screening because it was our last one, and then the worst thing of all was at the very end when they were scoring it, the entire orchestra was still scoring to my voice. And they knew I was there, I was just standing there at, like, you know, like a butterfly pinned on a card.<br />
<br />
:''[Advertisement for "Fry's Greatest Holophonor Hits" onscreen]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Ah, by the way this is also Dan Castellaneta as the snail here.<br />
<br />
'''Snail''': ...on this two record set...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': And this is based on...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Oh, the uh...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...who's that guy? It's the actor, John...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': ...yeah...<br />
<br />
[crosstalk]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Williams.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': John Williams, yes.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': [in voice of John Williams, the radio personality] "You probably know this as 'Whole Lotta Love'".<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DC''': John Williams was the other Mr. French.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Yes he was.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Oh yeah.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': And he's in, ''Dial M for Murder''?<br />
<br />
'''DC''': ''Dial M for Murder'', that's right.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': But his face started really changing at that point and he began to look like a Picasso because one side was like falling...<br />
<br />
:''[Enter Hedonism Bot]''<br />
<br />
'''BW''': ...and the other side was up.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': This, when we were pitching out the episode, this was the moment where everybody realized this was gonna be a lotta fun....<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...the moment Hedonism Bot walked in.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Maurice LaMarche!<br />
<br />
'''?''': Maurice.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Hedonism Bot.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': We still don't know how popular Hedonism Bot will be among the general populace, but the writers loved him.<br />
<br />
[chuckling]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Because finally, our lifestyle is portrayed...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...right here.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': A true character.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I don't...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': [in Hedonism Bot's voice] Huzzah!<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...[[Eric Kaplan]] was fond of pointing out that he's not "Hedonist Bot", he's not just a hedonist. He's "Hedonism Bot"...<br />
<br />
[crosstalk]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...he embodies an entire philosophy.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': ...write about. Unless... [He turns and looks at Leela, who sits at the table gorging on a buggalo leg dripping with barbecue sauce. He smiles and turns to Hedonism Bot.]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': [[Buggalo]] leg, for anyone who saw the, uh, [[Where the Buggalo Roam|episode 310]] was it?<br />
<br />
'''?''': I believe.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Much more eating in this shot than you usually see in a television program.<br />
<br />
'''Hedonism Bot''': ...opera about a woman? [He laughs.] Oh, sirrah, how deliciously absurd!<br />
<br />
'''DC''': This, this also seems sorta similar to "The Red Shoes".<br />
<br />
[chuckles]<br />
<br />
:''[Scene: Planet Express: Hangar. Late at night, Leela hammers something inside the ships port wing. She hears music and looks around.]''<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Except it's "The Red Hands".<br />
<br />
'''MG''': So Ken, are you an opera fan?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': No.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I know nothing about opera. Honestly, I, I bought like this three disc set of greatest opera hits to listen to while, while I was writing and it did no good. I just, I don't, I've certainly never seen an opera.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': You've never heard of ''{{w|La bohème|La bohème}}''? [pronounces it as "Labomey"]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
:''[Planet Express: Attic Balcony. Leela opens the door and sees Fry sat on the balcony playing the holophonor. In his image, two stick figures dance. He stops playing and writes some notes on a music sheet.]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Is that 3D, Bret, or is that, did you draw that?<br />
<br />
'''BH''': It looks hand-drawn.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': And what about that, is that real music?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I think that's real music. If I remember it correctly, that's uh, a piece of the uh, oh, the, duh, the {{w|Piano Sonata No. 8 (Beethoven)|Pathétique Sonata}}. The Beethoven Pathétique Sonata.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': This has to be perfect. I want you to hear exactly what I hear when I think about...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Does it make you feel inferior that Beethoven wrote that crazy thing and he was deaf?<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': ...incredible gift...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': And the best you could do is {{s|Awards#Outstanding_Individual_Achievement_in_Music_and_Lyrics|win two Emmys for Original Song}}?<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I covered my ears while I was doing it.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Many other people as well. No, just kidding.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': [chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': [shouting from the street] And yet Hell is so hot! [He laughs briefly.]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I was gonna ask something...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...I was gonna ask something else about this voice. If I remember from the, from the first Devil, Robot Devil appearance, there was the discussion of making, I remember they were suggesting, or maybe you suggested like, a little more, is it possible, Frank Morgan, in that?<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Yeah, a little Frank Morgan.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I recall a process where things were being add in [sic] and taken, taken out, and it was, I think, I think you said it was like operating dials.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': It was, it was tuning it up, well, you guys know, it's like make him pitch him higher, you, be it Peter, Peter, you know whoever this is, Peter Lloyd, pitch him higher, now make him lower, now give him a French accent. You know.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': But I mean, it was, it was just incredible to watch, because you could hear the tiny little adjustment, you could just, it was...<br />
<br />
[crosstalk]<br />
<br />
'''MG''': No, you guys, the three of you guys, Maurice and, and Dan and Billy, you are masters, and it is amazing, it's so fun to be able to watch you guys make the minor adjustments in those characters and just, and combine them and, it's baffling and it's magic???<br />
<br />
'''BW''': We like fusion. We're very much into fusion.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Yeah, we're in fusion, that's right, voice fusion.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Yeah, you take like, uh, you know talking about, uh, Frank Morgan, that's a little bit of that in [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]] character...<br />
<br />
'''MG''': Mm-hmm.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': ...because, what else, you know I mean, he's, he's, he's that, that [in voice of the Wizard of Oz] "ooohh yeesss, you know", and then...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': That's right.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': ...you put Burgess Meredith in it [in Professor's voice] "don't forget the ???"<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Yes, it's like putting, it's like putting them through the, uh, that, that, that episode of, uh, [[Star Trek]] with the transporter that merges, oh no that's ''The Fly'', I'm sorry, that merges two...<br />
<br />
[crosstalk]<br />
<br />
'''MG''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''ML''': ...you know, that's what we do with a lot, with a lot of these, uh, voices, just throw two into the mix and have them come into one character.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Another thing that amazes me is that, what, you guys can sing in these crazy voices, like who would think that [[Dr. John A. Zoidberg|Dr. Zoidberg]] could sing, you know it's, uh, it's unbelievable.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': It's, it's easier to sing but the thing that's really really hard is to scream and yell in another character.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': [chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Because you always go back to your default voice when you're screaming and yelling...<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Or I don't want to dive???<br />
<br />
'''ML''': ...or at least that's the tendency to.<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': What?<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Well, so much of it is breathing. You know, different vocal tensions, different v...uh, I mean certain voices get really close in on the mic and you can drop down, but I mean, so when you're just pushing everything up and screaming at the top of your lungs, you're gonna go back to you pretty, pretty easily and it's tough to fight that.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': Ooh! Out of aerosol?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I recall this is the second time in the run of the series where we iris??? out on, or push in on Bender's ass, yes. [someone chuckles] We also did it in the Hallowee...the, [[Put Your Head on My Shoulder|Valentine episode in season 2]].<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Well, there it makes sense 'cause it's a romantic sight...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...but here, I don't know.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': "MHOp"?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': MHOp, [[Metropolitan House of Opera]].<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Oh, OK, yeah, right.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': It's not really a joke exactly...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Sorry.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...it's, uh.<br />
<br />
'''Bender''': OK, deaf-o!<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Those hovering balconies remind me of [[Star Wars]], is that what it's from? Or is that just what it is?<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''BH''': I think it's just the kind of seat you would love to have for these kinds of show.<br />
<br />
'''Hedonism Bot''': [sexfully] You know the ones I mean.<br />
<br />
'''MG and BW''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Every appearance of Hedonism Bot raises more questions than answers.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': [chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': He just hasn't found the right girl.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''ML''': That's right.<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': Yay, Fry!<br />
<br />
'''Zoidberg''': [Leans forward to some people in front.] I watch TV with that guy!<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Get to see Leela and [[Amy Wong|Amy]] in their evening gowns.<br />
<br />
:''[Fry bows and sits down. He starts to play. The smoke forms an image of a title card that reads "Scene 1. Wherein Leela Is Found At The Orphanarium". The holo-scene changes to the steps of Cookieville Minimum Security Orphanarium. The people are real actors with holographic costumes. A group of Holo-orphans watch as a Holo-Vogel steps out of the building and sees Holo-Leela in a basket.]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': This solves a problem that originally, we didn't have that sign and was banking [sic] too much on people remembering Leela's story, then we came up, up with the idea of that silent movie treatment.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': These, uh, these are real, professional opera singers in this section. Um, they had a very hard time understanding what it is we were going for when we were doing the recording, I remember. I spent the, the woman who had to do that big swell, she ???, it's a baby so think, just make it way over the top and she did a very good job but it was very hard without, to explain the concept.<br />
<br />
'''Holo-Bender''': [singing] Leela! Leela, Leela save him!<br/ ><br />
Save Fry, save Fry,<br/ ><br />
Godzilla will devour him,<br/ ><br />
As for me,<br/ ><br />
I must be off,<br/ ><br />
To have my doctor check this cough,<br/ ><br />
:''[He coughs.]''<br/ ><br />
Goodbye!<br />
<br />
:''[He turns away but Godzilla slams its foot down and blocks his path. Bender watches.]''<br />
<br />
'''Bender''': I don't recall ever fighting Godzilla, but that is so what I would have done.<br />
<br />
:''[Scene: Metropolitan House of Opera Lobby. It's the intermission and the audience are gathered outside the auditorium. Calculon and Preacherbot talk while Florp laughs. Amy and Hermes are at the bar.]''<br />
<br />
'''Amy''': One diet double Martini, please.<br />
<br />
'''Bartender''': And for you, sir?<br />
<br />
'''[[Hermes Conrad|Hermes]]''': I'll just have a Shirley Hemple.<br />
<br />
:[Tinny Tim walks in with newspapers, passing Leela who stands by the coat room door.] <br />
<br />
'''[[Tinny Tim]]''': Extra! Extra! World's greatest opera only half over.<br />
<br />
:''[Leela reads the headline.] ''<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': Half over? Oh, I'd give anything to hear the rest.<br />
<br />
:[The coat door opens, revealing the Robot Devil inside.] <br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': Anything? [Leela gasps and drops her glass. A man hands the Robot Devil his coat and he hands him a ticket.] Thank you, sir. [The man leaves and the Robot Devil turns to Leela.] Now, as I was saying, anything? Because I can give you new robotic ears!<br />
<br />
:''[He points at his ears.]''<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': What? You can give me new ears? Wait. What seemingly...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Here's another bombastic robot that I, someone pointed out this, this is an episode full of, uh, three bombastic robots, and here comes the third. Uh...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Cue Maurice LaMarche!<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Exactly.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': When you need a bombastic...<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': ...Um, uh--<br />
<br />
'''Announcer''': Please take your seats for act two.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Oh, that's not him, that's [[David Herman|Dave Herman]].<br />
<br />
'''Hedonism Bot''': But I'm not done vomiting.<br />
<br />
:''[He laughs. Leela looks at the people behind her.]''<br />
<br />
'''?''': Uh...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': See...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': That was, that was...<br />
<br />
[crosstalk]<br />
<br />
'''MG''': I believe it's Dave Herman's birthday today, by the way.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': No, [[Calculon]] is en route.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Yes, Calculon...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Oh, happy birthday.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...it's Calculon of whom I'm speaking???...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': That's who we're talking about.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...but he's not here yet. I'm sorry, I...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': You may have noticed Judge...<br />
<br />
'''BW''': He can't even show up for his own birthday party, so...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': You may have noticed [[Ron Whitey|Judge Whitey]] and many other of your favorite characters in the lobby there just to, again, try to, put everyone in the last show.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': In particular, I know we made an effort to have [[Richard Nixon's head|Nixon]] be the last joke, which I find really amusing. We just wouldn't let him die.<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': ...hear like a safe-cracker! Hey, aren't you...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': That line I'd, sticks in my mind as having taken hours and hours and hours.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': This was a hard area, but prior to that s...line was even harder because Leela had to have that conversation but we kinda had to play it she couldn't quite hear what he was saying.<br />
<br />
'''Holo-Fry''': I need hands of transcendental quickness.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': The opera singer, when I was trying to teach him that melody, just looked at me like I was insane. No way, he said, that that could be sung, so we changed it.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Really? He just resisted?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Well, he...yeah, I mean, I was about to say, I sung it on the demo and then I realized that was not an argument for anything because...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': You know, you guys should consider what Disney does and, and actually mount this on stage and Broadway.<br />
<br />
[chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': Bah! This opera's as lousy as it is...<br />
<br />
'''BW''': "The Robot King."<br />
<br />
[chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''?''': Yes. The Robot...<br />
<br />
:''[The Robot Devil kicks the Holo-Robot Devil actor off the stage. The audience gasps. Fry stops playing and the holo-scene fades, leaving the Holo-Fry actor standing on the stage in his underpants.]''<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': Look, what do you want?<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': [singing] I want my hands back.<br />
<br />
:''[He laughs and columns of flame explode behind him. Fry stands up.]''<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Ah, it's so nice to hear someone other than me singing those words.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': [chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Look at that beautiful fire. That's great stuff.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': [singing] ...with a dirty dealer.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': [singing] Very well...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': One other interesting thing about this opera, in addition to the content, which is fascinating ???, uh, [[Katey Sagal]] had a sore throat when we recorded a lot of the other parts and then, uh, she then got busy with her new show with John Ritter, her new live action TV show, uh, ''{{w|8 Simple Rules|8 Rules for Dating My Daughter}}'' and, uh, we, we, it took about six months for us to record the very last line of this show and the last line of the series, so literally for months and months there was one line of the series that needed to be recorded but, uh, due to [[Fox Network|FOX's]] tremendous delays [chuckles] in airing the show, it proved to not be any sort of a problem at all.<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': [singing] ...shedding a tear, I agreed...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': And in the end, her performance was well worth it.<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Did, did, eh, is it, uh, I've heard this that, that, uh, Katey was one of uh, the Harlets that backed up, um, Bette, Bette Midler?<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Yeah, Katey can sing and she's...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Yeah, she's a great singer.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...she, she, she still performs...<br />
<br />
'''MG''': You know what, she never sang on ''Married With Children''. I asked her.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Oh really?<br />
<br />
'''MG''': Yeah, and so we got her. That's great.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': [singing] You should have checked the wording in the fine... [He makes the contract larger.] Print.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Is it a general rule that, that all, uh, voice talent can sing? Because is seems like you guys can all...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Nooo.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...sing.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Except me.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Well, you don't have a singing part actually in this, do you Maurice?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I believe...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': No, but I, I, I, I literally cannot sing.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': You got off the hook.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Did we ever give you a song?<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Yeah, we did, yes, [[Kif Kroker|Kif]] sang in the, on the, uh, [[Amazon Women in the Mood|he sang karaoke]].<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Remember the trouble I had hitting that note? I, I, I, I have...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': It was, it was charming.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': ...I have an aluminum ear.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': But, but Billy and Dan can sing up a storm.<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': [singing]...our reception if all goes as planned...<br />
<br />
'''BW''': You sing in different voices a lot of the time.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': I have, I have a three note range actually, so...<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': [singing]...my hands!<br />
<br />
'''MG''': You know, I always thought Leela was gorgeous, but she's really hot in this final episode.<br />
<br />
[crosstalk]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': I was just gonna say I'm looking for more of Amy and her décolletage going on there.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': [singing] ...by forcing me to decide upon...<br />
<br />
'''MG''': Fry's looking good, too.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DC''': First time in a tuxedo.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': He's well lit.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': And he had to have robot hands that night.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': [singing] ...the opera that was captivating her...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Well, they match his hair.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Yeah, they [laughs] do.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': [singing] ...and she marries him, then he probably won't want me...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': I like this episode because it gives Fry some dignity, is that, he, he...<br />
<br />
'''Nixon''': Arooo!<br />
<br />
'''ML''': [laughs] Oh, there's a [[Fawn|Mrs. Morbo]].<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...he has, he has things to say and he doesn't have the, you know, the hands to, to, to uh, play them, but...oh, wait I have to hear this.<br />
<br />
'''Zoidberg''': [singing] ...just ad-libbing!<br />
<br />
'''MG''': [laughs]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': That performance, he's so intense.<br />
<br />
'''[[Reverend Lionel Preacherbot|Preacherbot]]''': [singing] By the power vested in me...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': [[Phil LaMarr]].<br />
<br />
'''Preacherbot''': ...by the state of [[New New York]]--<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': No! [He pushes the Robot Devil away from Leela.] Stop! Take my hands! (singing) You evil, metal dork!<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I think it was Billy's idea...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Nice note, Billy.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...to go for the high, the high note, yeah, every time I had it...<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Was it?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Yeah, it was gonna be the low note, and...<br />
<br />
'''Hedonism Bot''': Surgery in an opera? How wonderfully...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': That grand singing of the word "dork" makes me burst out laughing every time. [chuckles]<br />
<br />
'''Hedonism Bot''': [[Djambi]]! The chocolate icing!<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Probably...<br />
<br />
:''[Djambi spreads chocolate icing over Hedonism Bot's stomach. He giggles.]<br />
<br />
'''BW''': [laughs] I just love that.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''Hedonism Bot''': Ooh!<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': My hands. My horrible...<br />
<br />
'''KK''': And that I think is the last little scene of Hedonism Bot.<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': [gasps] And what did you do to my nails?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': I, no wait, I think, I, maybe I'm...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Oh, you think there might be a spin-off?<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''Robot Devil''': ...I feel lucky. [He giggles.] So it's back to Hell for me!<br />
<br />
'''KK''': And this joke coming up was entirely Bret's, I believe.<br />
<br />
:''[The Robot Devil and Nixon vanish in a flash of smoke. The audience murmurs in confusion and don't notice the Robot Devil running out of the auditorium behind them.]''<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''KK''': 'Cause it was, it was written...<br />
<br />
'''MG''': That is a great joke.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...it was written that he should just disappear in a puff of flame and the first objection was, well, isn't that just magic, and then, uh, we...<br />
<br />
'''Zoidberg''': ...your heart, not your hands.<br />
<br />
:''[Fry picks the holophonor up and plays a bad tune. A crude holo-scene forms.]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': We rarely have a moment of silence in this show, what with all the lasers and stuff, but I like it here at the end when its, g-gets kinda lonely up there for Fry.<br />
<br />
:''[Audience boos]''<br />
<br />
'''Zoidberg''': Your music's bad and you should feel bad!<br />
<br />
:''[The audience gets up and walks out, throwing paper at Fry along the way. He yells.]''<br />
<br />
'''Fry''': Whoa! Hey! Whoa-oa!<br />
<br />
:''[Scene: Outside Metropolitan House of Opera. The audience flock out of the opera house. Tinny Tim has a new newspaper.]''<br />
<br />
'''Tinny Tim''': [shouting] Extra! Extra! Greatest opera of all time sucks!<br />
<br />
'''Zoidberg''': I'll take eight!<br />
<br />
'''BW''': That's a first. [chuckle]<br />
<br />
:''[Scene: Metropolitan House of Opera. Fry sits alone on the stage in the empty auditorium.]''<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Zoidberg with money.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Yeah.<br />
<br />
'''KK''': That's a good point.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': He's poor!<br />
<br />
'''KK''': Normally he is...<br />
<br />
'''BW''': And he wanted eight papers?<br />
<br />
'''KK''': He bought the eight albums, too.<br />
<br />
'''Leela''': Please don't stop playing, Fry.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Maybe he had a credit card, or something.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': [in Zoidberg's voice] I thought I'd go out in style, it being the last.<br />
<br />
:''[Fry smiles then sits down, picks up the holophonor and plays. The smoke whirls around above him and forms a crude image of him and Leela who turn to each other and hold hands.]''<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': A little credit to [[Christopher Tyng]] here. He was charged with writing bad music that was very touching for the end.<br />
<br />
:''[Cartoon Fry and Leela kiss, turn around and walk away towards the horizon.]''<br />
<br />
'''KK''': The thing that I love about this shot is that the series began...<br />
<br />
:''[Roll credits]''<br />
<br />
'''KK''': ...the first shot of the, of the [[Space Pilot 3000|first episode]] was kind of bad, purposely crappy animation, crappy's not the right word but, and that's the way it went out.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': Wow.<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Similar with the writing.<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Well, it's been a pleasure everybody. I am honored and I truly mean that...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Open the champagne now, would you David?<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': ...to work with all of you.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Likewise.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': I'll see you guys around right, uh, right?<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Oh yeah.<br />
<br />
'''?''': Oh sure.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': I mean, I'm around...<br />
<br />
'''DXC''': Suuure.<br />
<br />
'''BW''': ...I'm available, I'm around, but...<br />
<br />
[laughter]<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Thanks for the work.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': This can't be the end, can it? [fake woe] Oh my gosh...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Come on Matt, reveal. Come on, you got a plan to save the show, come on...<br />
<br />
'''DC''': Come on, Matt. Tell everybody, tell every DVD buyer...<br />
<br />
'''ML''': He's about to tell us! It's the time, let's do it.<br />
<br />
'''MG''': [laughs] See ya on the next DVD set.<br />
<br />
'''ML''': Yeah, that's right.<br />

Generally, the film was well received, and was [[Nominations and awards|nominated and won]] the Annie Award for "Best Home Entertainment Production".<ref name="annie-award"/> Dan Iverson from IGN scored it a 8 out of 10, and attributed it to the film's ability to live up to the legacy of the show during its original run, but also criticised heavy [[Fry-Leela relationship]] subplot.<ref name="ign">{{cite web |url=http://dvd.ign.com/articles/836/836327p1.html |title=Futurama: Bender's Big Score Review |author=Iverson, Dan |date=2007-11-19 |publisher=IGN |accessdate=2009-04-21}}</ref> In addition, he praised the guest star performances of [[Mark Hamill]] and [[Coolio]] as the [[Chanukah Zombie]] and [[Kwanzaa-bot]], respectively, during the secondary musical performance, but also felt that the two musical stages were not at the same level as the [[Bureaucrat Song]] in "[[How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back]]".<ref name="ign"/><br />
<br />
On UGN, Brooke Tarnoff also felt that the film lived up to the quality level of the original run, but praised the musical numbers as "hilarious" and gave the film an "A" rating.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ugo.com/ugo/html/article/?id=18018&sectionId=25 |title=Futurama : Bender's Big Score Review |publisher=UGN |author=Tarnoff, Brooke |accessdate=2009-04-21}}</ref><br />
<br />
As of June, 2009, the film have sold 808,165 copies with a income of $14,675,554,<ref name="thenumbers">{{cite web |url=http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2007/0FTBB-DVD.php |title=Futurama - Bender's Big Score - DVD Sales |site=The Numbers |accessdate=2009-06-27}}</ref> and sold 222,036 copies during its first week,<ref name="thenumbers"/> making it the best selling of the four films, with ''[[The Beast with a Billion Backs]]'' as the runner up with little more than a quarter of ''Bender's Big Score''{{'}}s sales; 226,575.<ref name="thenumbers-tbwabb">{{cite web |url=http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2008/0FR02-DVD.php |title=Futurama - The Beast with a Billion Backs - DVD Sales |site=The Numbers |accessdate=2009-06-27}}</ref><br />
<br />
However, the DVD sales may not be an obvious remark as to the film's quality over the others, but rather an attempt by the fans of ''Futurama'' to convince the production companies and networks willing to consider it, here being ''[[20th Century Fox]]'' and ''[[Comedy Central]]'' as the serious parties, whom the fans wanted to send a justification for renewing the show as a TV season. The mere fact that ''Bender's Big Score'' sold better in its first week than any of the two last films did in total could indicate people's initial disappointment with the purchase of the film and that they were not convinced enough to purchase the follow up, ''The Beast with a Billion Backs''.<br />

== Discussion ==<br />
<br />
The administrator of WikiSimpsons have [[User talk:Svip#Wikisimpsons and the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance|asked]] whether we should participate in an alliance of wikis regarding Animated Sitcoms. I personally have not yet have the time to consider this, so I am opening this for discussion. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''<sup>[[User talk:Svip|talk]]</sup> 05:41, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hi all, it's Solar Dragon from Wikisimpsons. I have had this idea for a while now, I wanted to set up something like [http://www.niwanetwork.org/ NIWA] but for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Animated_sitcoms Animated Sitcoms]. There are a lot we need to work out though.<br />
<br />
*Will it only be for independent wikis?<br />
*What will be the requirements for joining?<br />
*We also need a hub website. Will anyone be able to host this?<br />
<br />
A similar discussion will be opened up on Wikisimpsons once we move to our new host. Until then, I will be happy to answer any questions here. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.205.39|92.7.205.39]] 09:40, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
:Speaking in the position as a user, not an administrator: As I understand the offer, nothing will change except that we will officially be a part of a larger group, and be linked to from this ''Animated Sitcoms'' website, but The Infosphere in itself will not have to change style, commercial attitude or anything like that?<br />
:I can say right now that I will not be able to take great part in this overall project, nor will I be able to start contributing to some other wiki (I focus on Wikipedia and the Infosphere atm), but if I understand the project properly, I don't mind it. [[User:Aki|Aki]] 12:51, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::Sounds to me as if no harm will come from this, unless the alliance goes rogue or something. I barely wiki things these days, so I'm unlikely to venture into the other wikis in the group. But so long as none of them are Futurama centric, I can see this being beneficial. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:39, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::While I don't think it would harm us, it may draw in new users. I'm unsure about joining until we learn more about this alliance. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 13:47, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
To answer your questions, there will be no other Futurama wikis in the alliance. All other Futurama wikis that want to join will have to ask for a merger with you guys and from there, it'll be down to you guys. Part of this discussion is to find out more about what people want. It'll be set out something like NIWA, with representatives from each wiki being admins on the central forum we will have. Links to other wikis will be on the hub page, as well as on the member wikis, links to the other wikis on articles where needed. Basically, it will be becoming part of a larger (hopefully) group of wikis. The representatives of the wikis can decide on whether a new member should join or not etc. So far, there are only two wikis I have an eye on (Wikisimpsons and The Infosphere) so if any one knows of any other non-Wikia wikis that fit under the Animated Sitcom description, please list them here so I can pass this idea on to them. [[Special:Contributions/92.24.142.236|92.24.142.236]] 23:15, 23 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Drawing in new users is a good thing. (Drawing in [[User talk:Svip#Spam|spammers]] is a completely different matter, however...)<br />
:Can't think of any, sorry.<br />
:Why ''should'' it only be for independent wikis? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 00:46, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::That is how NIWA operates. I also would prefer no Wikia wikis, we can persuade them to move away instead. [[Special:Contributions/92.29.186.76|92.29.186.76]] 07:27, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::I understand. But what if a wiki on ShoutWiki wants to join? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 16:32, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
::::Well, I think that wikis on any wiki host other than Wikia (I just really hate Wikia) then they should join. If a ShoutWiki wiki wants to join then they'll be free to join (I am quite biased towards ShoutWiki though, even though Wikisimpsons is moving from ShoutWiki, I am an admin on the hub and a trusted member and the staff like me :P) and I am even working on a Bob's Burgers Wiki while another user of Wikisimpsons is working on an American Dad wiki. Just no Wikia I think. If any one else would like to have Wikia wikis, we'd need a vote. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.182.244|92.7.182.244]] 17:00, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:::::So we're the [[UN]]. Sounds good to me. [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] 17:30, 24 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
I'm with pretty much everyone else. This sounds like a great idea. More traffic, cross-linking, and basically an exclusivity contract. And no Wikia! (because the word itself still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth after our early dealings with them (hint: stolen content!)) --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 08:32, 28 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:When I took over Futurama Wiki, I made a point not to steal content from here. However, I now 100% hate Wikia and I want to destroy them. If others also seem to dislike the idea of Wikia wikis joining, then no Wikia wikis will join.<br />
:If everyone seems to like the idea, we would need someone to host a hub site similar to NIWA. Alternatively, we could make a wiki hub and get editing limited to admins who would the the hub staff and a forum on it too (ShoutWiki has got a new WikiForum extension). This would be the alternative if no one can host and design a site. [[Special:Contributions/92.20.137.92|92.20.137.92]] 20:49, 29 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Are all IPs the same person? I'm getting confused. Please consider creating a user. - [[User:Aki|aki]]<sup>[[User talk:Aki|talk]]</sup> 08:30, 30 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
:Sorry, wasn't logged in. Thought I was. [[User:Solar the Dragon|Solar the Dragon]] 09:50, 30 May 2011 (CEST)<br />
<br />
Hey, I'm Will k! And, if anything, I'm Solar the Dragon's business associate on the Animated Sitcom Wiki Alliance (we're both heading it). I'm also the same person he was talking about working on Bob's Burgers and American Dad!, although the latter I'm not particularly doing much. Although I'm sure we'd all love for it to be an independent alliance, there's always the issue with money, so it may just be a normal wiki alliance, and as for the concern of more than one wiki on the same topic, agreed with Solar, there will only ever be one on a topic, and it '''WILL NOT''' be replaced, I do not think, unless under extreme circumstances.

'''Petunia''' is a female [[Humans|Human]] from [[Nutley]] who smokes a lot. She is apparently a prostitute, although she was seen operating [[Petunia's Self-Serve Bee Farm|a self-service bee farm]], which she seems to own, during [[Kwanzaa 3010]] ([[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular|6ACV13]]). However, the farm only appeared in [[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular#Act III: Kwanzaa|a non-canon segment]], so it may not exist in [[Universe Γ|the real universe]].<br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
Petunia went on a date with [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] when [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]]'s dating service set them up ([[Put Your Head on My Shoulder|2ACV07]]). However, she was more interested in [[Sal]], even though he was on a date with [[Turanga Leela|Leela]], also thanks to Bender. She was later offered 5 dollars by Sal in exchange of sexual favours, but nothing happened ([[In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela|6ACV02]]). Petunia also led [[Robot Santa Claus|Santa]] into a trap on [[Xmas]] ([[A Tale of Two Santas|3ACV03]]), attended the 1074th Academy Awards with [[Zapp Brannigan|Zapp]] ([[That's Lobstertainment!|3ACV08]]) and Fry's non-[[canon]]ical funeral with some of [[Philip J. Fry#Relationships|his former lovers]] ([[The Sting|4ACV12]]), saw the Bigfoot monster truck crushing cars at the county fair ([[Spanish Fry|4ACV17]]), joined the ecolo group [[Feministas]] ([[Into the Wild Green Yonder|ITWGY]]), and was a victim of the [[Devolution Revolution]] ([[The Mutants Are Revolting|6ACV12]]).<br />
