I mean, we all know he's a robot, a bending unit, but throughout the series he also serves many other functions. I wanted to make a list of all his uses. I'll start it off:
-Bender (Prior to SP3k, also in Bendless love and other episodes)
-Storage space [his chest cavity](many episodes)
-Camera [Video and Still](When Aliens Attack)
-Popcorn maker/Butter Dispenser (Fear of a Bot Planet)
-Beer Tap (Hell is Other Robots)
-Projector (Crimes of the Hot)

remember to include what episode(s) that is from.

As a matter of fact, prior to my Hard drive crashing, i was half-way through a list of this very thing... I only ever got through the first season... Also on the list were the things Bender has pulled out of his chest cabinet.

I'll pitch in eventually... when i get my damn videos back...

a bender unit is simply a robot with endless functions the mind can come up with for comedy reactions from the viewers....or so ive concluded.

He is also a whole set of tools, as demonstrated in "Less Than Hero", when he was used by Leela and Fry to put together swedish furniture.

He, Robot.

 I would've liked to have seen an episode where he has a vortex in his chest cabinet though.  :)

good job, everyone!
another idea of mine:
-Answering Machine (KGKUAN)

also, try to keep this limited to specific function of his body as a robot. for example:
unicyclist isn't a function, it's just something he's good at.
same with god/world. he's only a god/world because he happened to "acquire" a race of tiny humanoid beings.

i'm not just trying to make the 2 people who suggested these feel bad or anything, they just seemed like good examples (don't hurt me!)

With all that firey burping he does, he could make a very nifty flamethrower.

Would that be an actual function though? Or just a side affect?

It's just a side affect of all the drinking he does. But it could be used in a bad situation like if the P.E gang are about to be attacked by some creature, Bender could puul out a bottle of beer, drink it and burp out a huge fire out of his mouth.

At any rate, he plugs a TV into his shiny metal ass in one episode  :)

Retractable neck?? Is that something he is? I thought we were only discussing what he as a whole can be used for. If we're talking all the functions, then... *phew!*
