Bender, whose full name is Bender Bending Rodríguez, is a fictional robot character in the animated television series Futurama. Designated in-universe as Bending Unit 22, he was created by series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen, and is voiced by John DiMaggio. He fulfills a comic, anti-hero-type role in Futurama and is described by fellow character Leela as an "alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler". According to the character's back-story, Bender was built in Mexico. Viewers are informed, through his own testimony, of Bender's prejudice against non-robots: his dialogue often contains anti-human expressions such as "kill all humans". Exceptions who are not subject to Bender's prejudicial attitude are those individuals on his "Do Not Kill" list, such as his best friend Fry, Hermes, Amy, Leela and Dr. Zoidberg. However, Bender is also occasionally portrayed as kind, suggesting that he is not as belligerent as he claims, a view often echoed by his friends. LESS
