The funniest bit in that ep is John DiMaggio's delivery of the line "Men really like it when ya GLAWB IT ON!" Oh, and the hilarious "Gay Guy & The Ghost" story on the commentary track.

Bender is a hoot as Coilette. "Robonia, Robonia, a Country I Didn't Make Up!" Sorry to correct you but it's: Hail, Hail, Robonia A Land I Didn't Make Up

Futurama terms, is a fembot anyway? I'm assuming that both of the following are essential: - Shape is approximately humanoid and incorporates several of the secondary sexual characteristics of human females
- Stereotypicaly 'female' persona (emotions, attitudes, outlook, etc).
I.e. Monique (Calculon's TV wife) is presumably a fembot (though she is never referred to as such, as far as I am aware) while The Crushinator is not. Nor, I'm guessing, is the robot that gives Fry a lapdance, pink feather boa notwithstanding. That can't be the whole picture though because in Bend Her a simple oil change seems capable of permanently transforming Bender into a fembot (even though he was only faking a feminine appearance, so technically didn't qualify for one of the points above) and yet in Fry and the Slurm Factory he is appalled when the Zee-ray reveals that he took to be a fembot was NOT what it appeared (even though it seemed to qualify for both of the points above). Is this one of those things, like race, which everyone understands but can't actually be defined in technically precise way? Or does the application of the term change to suit the needs of the story? Or am I over fantasizingthinking all this? What do you guys/gals think? Hey! That's a neat idea for a poll: Who is the sexiest robot in Futurama? - Hobbitboy Cat: Well, I think in all probability, Wilma Flintstone is the most desirable woman that ever lived. Lister: That's good. I thought I was goin' strange.

The key difference between manbots and fembots is that fembots are capable of being upgraded into one of these, after which her companion manbot can contribute his source code to the design plans. Note that fembots should not be confused with feminist bots. Feministbots are the ones who have been trying to eliminate the role of the manbot in the installation processes of the newly constructed, as a result of which more and more manbots are adopting the independent Playbot mode, thus destroying the integrity of the nuclear family plants, which will probably suffer meltdown in the near future and drive the automaton model into extinction.

At risk of starting a "Gender War;" Bender changed his sex (and one might argue his gender started to change too), he did not change his core personality!Coilette was, as you say, conniving, schemeing, etc, - and was taking Calculon for everything he was worth - until... 'Bender' did not suddenly grow a conscience. 'Coilette', evidently, hadn't the heart to so greviously hurt Calculon - presumably as an unforseen (by Bender, at least) consequence of the sex-change. Coilette was Bender. If anyone needs me, I'll be in the shop putting a fresh coat of 'dusty-rose' laquer on my digits...

I really hate when I do that, and I hate it even more when people point out my selling errrs! Not to worry; it's just that nasty [wikipeelia=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_retentive]anal-retentive[/wikipeelia] streak in me... The one that's a millimeter wide, and a mile deep! Besides; If anyone cared enough to point out all my 'errrs' - they wouldn't live long enough to finish! If anyone needs me, I'll be under my rock...

I am a little late to this party...but I loved the whole Bend Her episode. I thought it was awesome when Bender started dressed like a central-European woman (complete with Babushka xD), and the transformation was even funnier. There is an almost constant stream of gender humor throughout the episode, culminating in the best wedding ever ( except perhaps when Homer dressed as Ganesh..."you're just going to get more wrath!"). As mentioned by Mustang, the episode does a great job of bringing the status quo under scrutiny (and in a very funny way). Also- I can't seem to make a post without an error, which is why 85%-90% of my posts get edited. I wouldn't stress out about it, Bianca

I thought it was funny. They should have made Coilette his girlfriend.
