Hell Is Other Robots

Act I: "Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999... again!"
Fry, Leela, Amy, and Bender go to a Beastie Boys concert. Bender runs into Fender, an old friend who's now working for the band. After Fender gets Bender and company back-stage, he takes Bender to a party where robots are abusing electricity, or "Jacking On". After Bender's addiction leads him to wreck the Planet Express Ship, nearly killing everyone, they confront him about his problem. After a night of turmoil, he winds up in a Church of Robotology.



Act II: "Is this another scam to get free yarmulkes"
Bender comes to work whistling a happy tune, and tells his friends about his new-found religion. Everyone is shocked, and suspicious, but gradually they reach the horrific realisation that Bender is being sincere! When his new personality starts driving them crazy, Fry and Leela take him to Atlantic City and tempt him with liquor and cheap hookerbots. While he seduces a group of fembots in a jacuzzi, the Robot Devil arrives and takes him to Robot Hell.

Act III: "Robot hell is quite real... here's our brochure"
Fry and Leela find Bender missing, and Nibbler follows his trail. It leads to an abandoned amusement park, where a funhouse mirror is a doorway into an "actual, factual Robot Hell." Meanwhile, the Robot Devil takes Bender on a musical tour of the different levels of hell. When Fry and Leela find them, they take advantage of the Fairness in Hell Act of 2275 and challenge the Robot Devil to a fiddle contest. Leela bashes him over the head with the golden fiddle and they escape with Bender.

Trivia

 * During the musical scene, Bender is strapped to a roulette wheel with different methods of cooking on it, intended to simulate the smell of cigars. One of the spaces on the wheel says "Pleasant Massage".

Quotes

 * Bender: Oh, they're tormenting me with up-tempo singing and dancing!
 * Robot Devil: Sorry, but I hold all the cards here. There's nothing you can do. Now if you'll just sign this fiddle contest waiver...
 * Bender: Well, we're boned!
 * Bender: From now on, I'll just be me. Leela: Uhm, do you think you could be a little less evil than that? Bender: I don't know. Do you think you could survive a seven hundred foot fall? Fry: Hehe, good ol' Bender.
