Bender invited Ruth and Esther, two nasty Fembots, according to the crew, to an auditon for the traditional oil wrestling of Robanukah 3010, which would be performed in the headquarters (6ACV13). They agreed to do it, even though they still wanted to get paid, and the wrestling lasted 500 million years. Ruth and Esther also participated in "The Robanukah Song".

Ruth later appears in minimal size in "Benderama", tricking a small Bender into purchasing her services, only to have him killed by a mousetrap.

Ruth, Esther and Bender were to have an orgy, but they were disrupted by a glowing Fry. Ruth and Esther later mocked Bev, who responded by spraying them with soda water (7ACV01).

Trivia

• Ruth and Esther debut took place in a non-canon segment. Ruth's first (canon) appearance was in "Benderama", and Esther's in "The Bots and the Bees".
• Their voices are patterned after stereotypical New York Jewish women; fittingly, perhaps, given that they are named after two books of the Old Testament: Ruth, the great-grandmother of King David, and Esther, the Jewish queen of Persia, who prevented the planned genocide of the Jews and instituted Purim.
