i hadda vote bend her. the wedding scene was da bomb! amy-body else with me?

I love Obsoletely Fabulous coz bender cracks me up wen he's stone cold sober!haha!Its dead funny when he thinks those chicks are walking beer cans, and when he tries to make yam schnapps!!!He rules I LOVE BENDER!!!

Raging Bender is a classic. I'll vote that.

But I still say Pharoah and Bend Her are underrated. The stories are nothing to write home about, and they both end on kind of a weak note, but they both have some hilarious moments.

I voted for The Honking because it is my favorite episode in that list.

Im afraid im a non voter, simply becuse i like all of the bender orientated episodes. ive never come across a charachter like him in any tv show.

"Hell is Other Robots", closely followed by "A Pharoah to Remember". They are both great episodes, but HIOR gets my vote if because of the Beastie Boys and the robot devil's song.

Bender gets made, for the episode itself, not Bender antics specificaly (though his robot/king segement was great!)

Oh God...  I'm coming DOWN!!

PCC Fred, I'm not really sure I agree with that.  I mostly find later seasons to be funnier (more inconsistant in 4ACV, but otherwise better overall).

To me (this goes in direct contradiction to what Mouse was saying) the main problem may be that some of the later Bender episodes tried to put him "on his own" and forget about the characters.  Bender's hilarious, but truth be told he's not the greatest at carrying a whole story, especcially when he's excluded from other characters (which is what happened in Obsolutely Fabulous and Pharaoh in many scenes for instance).  It becomes too dull and monotonous, especcially for a character who's best humor normally comes from his interactions from the other characters.

Agreed about Godfellas though.  Best Bender episode ever, easily.  In fact oddly enough that one does exclude him from other characters for a while, but thankfully it has him interacting with the mini-beings and "God" through most of the episode (and the stuff in the first act where its just Bender's wacky antics in space are well written enough to be funny for that short period of time).

I liked Obsoletely Fabulous, there were some good moments in that episode I really liked, particularily Robertos appearance.
And I liked Lisa:
Lisa: I for example, need to keep refilling my waterwheel or I'll power down forever. (Waterwheel stops) OH GOD! I'll never make it this time! This is the end!

Ooo, hard choice, Its either Raging bender, Bendin' in the wind or Bender should not be allowed on tv, they all have that silly ability of making me laugh out loud (espicially after some beers)   

I'm gonna give it to 'Bender should not be allowed on tv'.

"Try this at home kids!" 

Bending in the wind! what could be better than seeing bender finally become a folk singer?

I didn't think that about Ob Fab. There were many different aspects to Bender being on the island - trying to get help, running out of booze, finding the outdated robots and learning the evils of technology, trying to destory his enemy Robot 1-X and putting his friends lives in danger, trying to save them etc. etc. I thought it was a far broader Bender palette than Pharoah which is just 21 minutes of Bender cramming his desire to be remembered down everyone's throat or Bender's somewhat chauvanistic attitude to being a woman in Bend Her. 

I say:Bender Should Not Be Allowed on T.V.

I think I'm gonna have to flip a coin between Bender gets Made, and Hell is other Robots...

Tails, Bender gets made

HIOR for sure! It's one of my favorite episodes anyway. I loved the song, and the whole "religious Bender" thing cracked me up. 

If that wasn't up there, I'd vote BSNBAOTV. That one had me laughing the whole way through.

But if Godfellas was up there, I'd vote that. It was such a sweet episode. Sweet meaning cute. In a good way.

Hell is Other Robots. Beastie Boys, Robot Devil, the Robot Hell song... I mean, they even had robotic Baptists. You can't mess with the classics... Fry and Leela -centric episodes may have greatly increased in quality as the seasons passed, but Bender episodes generally stayed the same level of quality(not that that's a bad thing)... Still, Hell is Other Robots is a notable exception, standing apart from the rest.

BSNBAOTV because it mocks soap acting. And has good and funny lines. I watch it quite often.

Bendin' In The Wind. It's great, one of my favourite episodes.

I'm gonna have to vote for BSNBAOTV. It Rocks.

How come you don't have GodFellas?
