‘Futurama’: 10 Bender Burns More Fiery Than His Burps

By:

Even in Hulu’s revival season of Futurama, Bender “Bending” Rodriguez sadly still hasn’t yet achieved his life’s goal to kill all humans. But he’s done a pretty good job roasting them thus far.

The booze-binging bending unit from Tijuana is arguably the greatest trash-talker of the 31st century, spitting hot fire both literally and figuratively as he swaggers across the galaxy smoking cigars and swigging scotch. Bender may have a soft spot for a handful of meat bags — Fry specifically — but Bender democratically doles out his hilariously misanthropic one-liners at anyone in his way, the Planet Express Crew included.

In over 140 total episodes of Futurama, Bender has had too many burns to distill down to a definitive list without missing a few bangers, but here is my best attempt at capturing Bender’s best and most cutting cracks and quips…

‘No signs of life or intelligence. Just like Fry on a date’

‘Sir, she is as the factory made her’ – ‘Well, they should have stopped making her about halfway through’

‘Calm down, Leela. You can vent tonight on your blog’

‘What’s this fat ugly thing? A frog? A Toad? Or yo mama?’

‘Want a corndog?’ – ‘Sure!’ – ‘Then your mom should have bought you one’

‘Compare your lives to mine and then kill yourselves’

‘We’re trying our best’ – ‘Your best is an idiot!’

‘Die young and leave behind a pretty corpse, that’s what I say’ – ‘You should say something else!’

‘I’m going to jump!’ – ‘Do a flip!’

‘Bite my shiny metal ass!’
