Bender's Antenna

[on:]

In I, Roommate they act like an antenna is a robot's..."manhood". But in Birdbot of Ice-katraz it looks like the robot equivalent of hair. What's the deal with that? Who would spray and style their privates like that? That's just sick, man.

It also flushes him, dispenses butter and beer, and . . . ok, that's all I can think of.

Even sicker.

I wish mine was that versatile. It only dispenses two things.

[Reply #4 on:]

Yeah, maybe its Benders...you know.

He calls it little Bender in "I, Roomate" and he says to Leela in the same episode: "I cant just cut it off. Youre not a robot or a man"

Hmmmm.....

[Reply #5 on:]

But IF he has real sex, how does Bender...get in position?

[Reply #6 on:]

And how the hell did Flexo and Angeline (or what the heck her name is) have sex on the floor in Bendless Love?

[Reply #7 on:]

That's the secret we're all after...

[Reply #8 on:]

and it slides in for easy storage!

Then "Hell is Other Robots" must have been extremly painfull to Bender. On top of the "Church of Robotology" he connects his antenna directly to the electricity of the sign. If the analogy from "I, Roommate" is true....ouch! 

And don't forget his experience in the "Cul-de-sac Nebula".

No, see he was jacking on. Electrocuting your unit isn't painful if you're a robot.

[Reply #11 on:]

I think its his manhood.

In "I, Romate" the Robot-Policeman say "hah. You call that an antenna" when they finds it.

Funny it was the robot

Precisely, remember, it's made of metal, it's not a human penis.

Ah, I see the ways of my error now.

Bender says to Amy in the 2nd episode
"It's just like making love, " and he goes on to talk about rotating, and so on...maybe thats how, like a catching game!

Oh man what can I say about this topic? ok I do get the manhood jokes, maybe Bender has a manhood in a robotish way.

  I like to do some experience with Bender   

[Reply #16 on:]

If there was a female Bender, maybe...but I don't think I'm robosexual.

[Reply #17 on:]

Its hair alright,just take a look at this pic from my site
see how bender has 3 antennas?If thats manhood futurama would be shelfed cos its just sick.   

dammit!just use this link cos its not working: http://www.geocities.com/kennedy_mullen/badhairday

[Reply #18 on:]

I havent seen any Robot women in Futurama, having an antenna.
Or what?

[Reply #19 on:]

I have.Only on the side of their heads.Calculons girlfriend/wife for instance.

[Reply #20 on:]

Don't forget Angalyne too.

 BTW Kenndy, that pic of the book signed by Billy West, when and how did you get that?

[Reply #21 on:]

its a pic I stumbled across on ebay,from space pilot 3000.However,I doubt the bidding is still open.

[Reply #22 on:]

Hmm, if Benders "manhood" is his antenne explain the scene in "When Aliens Attacks" where they are making a remake of the series finale of "Single Female lawyer":

Fry : "´Cmaera one."
(Bender zooms out one of jhis eyes)
fry: "Cmaera two?"
(Bnder zooms out his second eye)
Fry: "Camewra three?"
(Bender makes a zoom-out sound, but we don't h get to see where it originates)

Edit: Damn, tyhats poor spelling, hick!! Yeah, it could originiate from his bodyt, but still....

whatever, it's just an useless antenna... he's not a ham radio... he was just comparing it to the men part, but that doesn't mean it is that part...

[Reply #24 on:]

Well watch amazon, he told the amazon women that he has no crotch.

I think he dosen't have a manhood.

[Reply #25 on:]

Well look at it like this:

"Man hoods" have a purpose to send out information (DNA, genes, ya know, sperm)
Antennas can share the same purpose, so, when you look at it like that...

[Reply #26 on:]

Maybe it's not anything to do with a penis at all... Maybe they just feel that way about it...?

[Reply #27 on:]

people see want people want to see...

        

[Reply #28 on:]

Remember the Mother's Day episode? The antennae are for receiving her master control box's commands.

[Reply #29 on:]

Okay, gotta revive this old thread. I just watched "Lesser of two Evils" yesterday. It made me wonder: if Benders antenna is the equal of his manhood, what is Freud gonna say about the fencing match he and Flexo had using their antennas? 

[Reply #30 on:]

Now that it's been reactivated,  I feel I have to comment.  In certain cultures in the South Pacific, men decorate and stretch their penises as part of a courtship ritual.  Perhaps "robot culture" is so wildly different than Western culture, that we see it as strange, painful, and disgusting.

Or, perhaps, it's just symbolic of the robot's self-image with no sexual connotations whatsoever.

[Reply #31 on:]

well maby it's his "manhood" or not but it have a lot of things too do fluching beer disposit and so on but what is the big deal about it and talking about it?i'm only asking....?

That's my theory

Welcome to PEEL pygmee thomas, I hope you enjoy yourself here. We discuss things like this because it entertains us 

[Reply #34 on:]

If you think this topic is weird pygmee thomas, I'm sure there is a couple of threads that's really gonna disturb you.

Bender was only built to produce unneeded static (technically refered to as multipath interference).  In this futuristic world apparently his antenna does more than that, IT prevents any reception at all.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE..I'm gonna get the manager.

I thought he was only built to bend girders for suicide booths?

BITE MY SHINEY METAL A&&...Sorry, I was refering to the "I, Roomate" episode.

This antenna can be used either as a sign of 'robothood' or just like a plain old antenna. It's kinda like the bump on Gumby's head. No one knows why you'll want it but its there all the same.

The peace officer might have referred it to Bender's manhood when he said, "You call THAT an antenna?"

well we don`t know Robot world...
