The Bender Thread

I just can't want to see the epiosde where Bender becomes a fembot! Does anyone have any ideas when Fox will show it?

[Reply #41 on:]

No but they better hurry up and show it.

Bender's best episode I've seen, so far, is Crimes of the Hot! Excellent episode nd plot! 

[Reply #44 on:]

Bender was funny in The Cyber House Rules. The one were he adopts all those kids. I like how he is trying to sell them as food

[Reply #45 on:]

Bender: "Hey sexy Momma! Wanna kill all humans?"

Yet Bender hasn't killed a single human...
 

[Reply #46 on:]

Bender: I'm very charitable what about the time I gave blood.
Fry: who's blood?
Bender: some guy.

[Reply #47 on:]

From the descriptions, "Bend Her" has a fair chance of outright sucking. Let's hope it doesn't.

[Reply #48 on:]

 No dought Bender has developed emotions

I know, isn't He very sexy as the Pharaoh  man I don't mind being his (sex) slave 

[Reply #51 on:]

Same with me and Leela. I'll be here slave anyday!    *Daydreams of Leela*   

[Reply #52 on:]

Bender's instantly likeable when you first see the show, but then other guys like DrZ or Zapp become funnier and funnier. One of my fav bender moments from 'the problem with popplers' was when Leela accused him of stepping on Popplers for fun.
Cut to a close up of Bender with the look of a cheeky kid that knows he's been naughty. he doesn't say anything but it just cracks me up. Its amazing how they managed to draw a robots face to show emotion.

Errr this is the Bender thread.

[Reply #54 on:]

Yet, I'm a boy so I'm going to bring up Leela and her sexy look but lets talk about Bender then. He's funny, rude yet he is just has the most stupid ideas!

[Reply #55 on:]

Don't you guys think Bender looks so cute as a kiddy bot?

Hi!
First timer here.....

Just saw "Space Pilot 3000" for the first time since 1999, and after all this time watching the show I was struck by how much the characters - especially vocally - have evolved.

But also I noticed something I wanted to discuss and figured here's as good a place as any....

I think it's during this episode that we see Bender's first display of truly criminal behavior - when he stole Leela's ring.  And I think it's because he met Fry that he developed this aberration in his programming.

It could be argued that there are two earlier examples: when he yanked back his quarter in the suicide booth and when he ran from the cops.  But
I think the quarter ploy just shows that he's a cheap robot.  As for running from the cops - who wouldn't?  The only other option was to stay and be dragooned back into a job you hated.  (After the cops went 24 Century on ya, that is!)

Here's my theory - Bender "downloaded" his criminal behavior while in the Room of Criminal Heads.  Somehow, when his antenna made contact with the exposed wiring of the overhead light, he integrated the mental engrams of one or more of the criminal heads nearby.

If this has been suggested before, my apologies for bringing it up again. 

Whaddya think?  Am I crazy?  Well... yeah.  But that shouldn't be held against the theory!

Well I really think he is so cool and I just love him. There are a few great moments with him. I love it when he wears that pimp jacket on Raging Bender and he has two Fem bots next to him. Very sexy. Also I love the scene from Bendless Love where he helps Angalyne bending a girder, so romanic   

hookerbot: Bender honey we love you!
bender: (pimp walking) Shut up baby, I know it.

that was great. Yeah, bender's great.

[Reply #58 on:]

that theory just mentioned before may not be true, because in birdbot of ice-catraz he restarted and the list of things to do were 1) bending 2) cheese it, and......

i'm not robosexual or anything, but bender has a sexy last name.

[Reply #59 on:]

and bender does look cute as a kiddy bot.

[Reply #60 on:]

i actually had this thread moved cuz i was stupid and put it in the wrong place.

welcome tele-toby! need help? go here: http://www.thefryhole.alltoons.co.uk/peelfaq.php

sry, just noticed i was spamming!

[Reply #61 on:]

As for Bender and criminal activity, don't forget that the "see the world through the eyes of a bending unit" goggles in "Mother's Day" imply that ALL bending units are criminals.  And didn't Matt Groening say something about all robots on the show setting bad examples?  I believe I've said this before, but, for what it's worth, I don't think the shock from the lightbulb started Bender's criminal behavior, since that was most likely part of his programming in the first place (why, I really wouldn't know).  It did, however, allow him to go against his programming in becoming something other than a girder-bender.

[Reply #62 on:]

Well as you recently saw, Bend Her most definitely did not suck. I like Bender. I like fembots. I like Calculon. I like Zoidberg hoarding food. I also like Boxy. So what's not to like about Bend Her? Something about John DiMaggio's voice in that episode.. It isn't purposely 'affected' or 'girly', it just has a mischevious, natural touch of femininity that makes Bender yelling about 'shaking his can' that much funnier.
Oh, Bender. In all of your different incarnations, you are still the same and always entertaining!
"I just wanted to be popular.."

[Reply #63 on:]

Just two of my favorite Bender lines:

Fry - "Maybe you can't understand this, but I've finally found what I need to be happy and it's not friends, it's things."
Bender (in sad voice) - "I'm a thing."

Leela - "Bender why did you jump in?"
Bender - "Everybody was doin' it, I just wanted to be popular."

'Ole Bender will cheer you up!
Do ba dap do ba ba de dap do!

Look at my head, got a big 'ole head etc.

Basically, anytime he scats.

[Reply #68 on:]

My favorite Bender line, and possibly my favorite line in all of Futurama, is in "Roswell That Ends Well."  As Fry watches in horror as his "grandfather-to-be" goes up as nuclear vapor, Bender chimes in with his thoughts.

"And you...are...outta here!!"

Something about that line makes me crack up every time I hear it.

[Reply #69 on:]

Fry: Maybe god loves me?
Bender: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Classic.

[Reply #70 on:]

                     You stink.
                  Bender's great.
                   Deal with it.

[Reply #71 on:]

Hmm, no one mentioned the best Bender line...

"I mean, being robot's great, but we don't have emotions, and sometimes that makes me very sad."

[Reply #72 on:]

best quote:

"Bodies are for hookers and fat people"

[Reply #73 on:]

Bender line that i had to rewind to hear again....

"he's pending for a bending"

(after discovering that Nibbler had eaten all the animals they'd carefully rescued...)

I think he also said that to Cubert in one episode too. Nonetheless, its still a great saying.

[Reply #75 on:]

Didn't he say it in spanish that time?

Anyway, what he said in the suicide booth in SP 3000 was great.

"By the way, my names Bender"

[Reply #76 on:]

Best line:

"Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care, Leela crack corn, and no one cares, cause Bender is great" or something along those lines, from the Beck episode and any other time he has a magnet stuck to his head

[Reply #77 on:]

It's:

"Fry cracked corn, and I don't care.  Leela cracked corn, and I don't care.  Bender cracked corn, and he is great.  Take that, you stupid corn."

[Reply #78 on:]

Thanks.

Indeed.    With the big kid eyes, and the satellite ears...Cute is the only way to describe it correctly...
