A second all-new episode premieres tonight at 10:30pm E/P on Comedy Central! Here's the synopsis: :v:
 
This like I thought was a far funnier effort since instead of focusing on the genders this just focused on Bender's overall laziness. And depdening on how they're written Bender episodes are usually some of the overall funniest of the show. And though this wasn't uprorarious it did have a lot of good bits: The professor tricking Bender into folding his shirts by saying they needed to be bended, the montage of the three Benders espiecally them trying the table con and knocking out the guy, the bender club inside the mousehole, the stuffed Bender from his other sitcom (Guess he got more TV time after becoming so famous in "All My Circuits" back in "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV" or at least that's what I hope htat's a refrence to), Bender actually chugging the bathtub, the twist of all the benders changing the world's water into alchol (wouldn't work unless you go by Futuram's weird logic), news woman Linda being a horrible drunk, the benders all forming into a giant Bender to beat up the ugly giant and all the benders leaving in a swarm. Didn't care much for the ending though as we've seen that whole "or do I still have one" aspect played and it being kept a secret if he did or not would of been better then just showing all the Benders in the smoke. Still better or at least funnier then the other episode.
 
Not bad....Bender's pretty reliable if you need a good laugh...His laziness pretty much drove this episode,with him initially being too lazy to fold the Professor's two sweaters,so he clones himself (and then the clones make clones because of their own laziness,and it goes on from there)...
Also thought it was funny when the multiple Bender clones turned the world's water supply to alcohol (since they'd already drained the world's alcohol supply),leading to the entire world being drunk (Zapp and Kif actually get along).....Unfortunately,the ugly alien from earlier in the episode comes to Earth to apologize (for overreacting to repeated "ugly" insults,and an unfortunate comment by Fry),leading to Bender having to save the day with his clones....
 
I thought this one was the better episode of the two. I love how Bender is so lazy that he would clone himself to get out of folding (or bending) sweaters. I thought the jokes Bender and the 40% smaller Benders were telling the giant were actually kind of funny. I enjoyed watching everyone kill all the Bender clones. To bad Bender ruined their hard work when he let one clone get away. I can't believe Bender chugged bath water that an old man had been in. It was funny how the whole world ended up drunk once all the molecular sized Benders started turning water into alcohol and Bender was the only hope at stopping the giant. All the Bender's combining to make a giant Bender to fight the giant was cool to see. I didn't like how the ending left us not knowing if any Bender clones are still on Earth.
 
It's kind of those "OR IS IT?" endings.
I'm more bothered by how much damage they caused when they left, all those big chunks of earth missing. I'm having trouble sometimes keeping track of what's canon and what's not.
Is the sun still setting in the east?
