Bender Bending Rodríguez

"Bite my shiny metal ass!"

- Bender's famous quote

Bender Bending Rodríguez, designated Bending Unit 22, is a fictional robot character and the tritagonist in the animated series, Futurama. He was created by series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen and is voiced by John DiMaggio. In the series, Bender plays the role of a comic anti-hero, and is described by Leela as an "alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler". He was built in Mexico and other characters refer to his "swarth Latin charm". He is, per his own testimony, prejudiced against non-robots, often expressing an urge to "kill all humans" except his best friend, Fry; however, he has also committed acts of kindness for humans and others, suggesting he is not truly as belligerent as he claims.

Trivia

 * Bender's voice actor John DiMiaggio also plays Jake the Dog from Adventure Time and coincidentally both characters share many similarities.
 * Bender is very similar to Homer Simpson from The Simpsons, another animated series created by Matt Groening. Interestingly, they both finally meet each other in the crossover episode, Simpsorama.
