Character: Bender Bending Rodriguez
Series: Futurama
Character Age: Outdated Model of Robot
Job: Multi-Purpose Bending Unit (Not the Avatar)
Canon: Futurama is a show that follows one Philip J. Fry, a theoretically 25-year-old delivery boy who stumbled into a 1000-year cryogenic sleep and woke up in the year 3000. Upon his awakening and realization the pizza place he worked at in 1999 no longer exists, he manages to land himself a job at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery service. As he grows accustomed to his new life as a space-traveling delivery boy, he and the Planet Express crew encounter many an idiotic shenanigan.
Bender Bending Rodriguez, a robot more commonly referred to as Bender, is a walking trope of an anti-hero in sitcom format. He’s a lazy, kleptomaniac, alcoholic, narcissistic, chain-smoking, pathological liar, with his only redeeming point being he’s Fry’s best friend. Unsurprisingly that doesn’t actually account for much; neither Fry nor any of the other members of the Planet Express crew are exempt from his mockery and occasional threats of murder. Despite that, Bender is still seen as a valuable member of the crew, probably because he doesn’t have the cold unfeeling robot machinations in him to go through with killing all humans.
Sample Entry:
What kind of crackpot scam of a summer camp is this? The adults that are supposed to be in charge of the kids are all drinkin’ booze and skimpin’ on their duties... Sign me up! This is exactly the kind of responsibility I’m prepared for. Trust me, if you’re looking for individuals with a lot of experience, look no further than Bender here. I’m practically a professional at being an alcoholic and avoiding work! I’d be more than happy to provide an example of my expertise in motion, if you’d give me some supplies to let my creativity flow. Now if you would be so kind and obedient, go and fetch me some booze. I’ll wait here for you or somethin’.
Wait, you thought I was kiddin’ about the booze? Who would ever joke about something so vital and life-sustaining?! I am offended, my good, though rotting, sir. And no, I’m not making that up to get more booze out of you! Mostly! It’s really true, though, us robots from the future run on alcohol. It’s what keeps my metal ticker goin’. I know it might be hard to believe, but do I have a reason to lie to you? ...Okay, maybe I do, but really, comin’ from you guys, isn’t that kind of like the horrific flesh-eating bacteria callin’ the computer virus destructive? Just sayin’! Don’t get mad at me for it--I just said it. Not my fault your creator or God or whatever had shoddy workmanship, pal! Sheesh, some horrific freaks of nature and/or science don’t know how to take a little bit of constructive criticism.
And speakin’ of freaks, whoever’s in charge of running this place must be a pretty nasty one! The last time I saw that many tentacle-like appendages wigglin’ around like that, I was in a hot tub with six hookers. Stickin’ ‘em all on one bimbo like that is a risky move! Not every romance connoisseur can handle a woman of that caliber. That’s probably why she’s so frisky with everybody. I can guarantee you that’ll change once I’ve spent enough time around here. I may be a robot, but I’m more than man enough to take care of Marcy and her needs. After all, I am a bending unit! Can’t nobody get bent like Bender. Awww, yeah.
Wait, that’s banned here? Awwwww, crap.
