I Second that Emotion

Production Number: 2ACV01 Title Caption: MADE FROM MEAT BYPRODUCTS First Aired: 11/21/99 Sponsor: Glagnar's Human Rinds

Act I: "How could you flush Nibbler down the toilet!"
After Nibbler breaks a fang biting Bender's shiny metal ass, the vet speculates that Nibbler may be 5 years old*, so they throw him a birthday party. Bender, jealous of the attention Nibbler is getting, bakes an amazing cake, which Nibbler eats before anyone can see it. In anger, Bender flushes Nibbler down the toilet.

Act II: "There's mutants down there!"
Leela is inconsolable, and to punish Bender (who feels no remorse at all) the Professor equips Bender an Empathy Chip, "allowing" (read: forcing) Bender to feel everything Leela feels. Sharing Leela's depression, Bender flushes himself down the toilet to go hunt for Nibbler. Fry and Leela go into the sewers to find him, in spite of the urban legends about a race of hideous mutants who live there. After finding Bender they realise they are lost, and they end up running into a group of sewer mutants.

Act III: "Aren't you supposed to be eating our brains?"
The Mutants turn out to be harmless - that is, until they come to believe that Nibbler is the dreaded El Chupanibre. The mutants capture them and take them to their city, where Leela is used as bait for El Chupanibre (who all believe to be Nibbler). Nibbler appears, but right behind him is the real El Chupanibre, a huge, vicious, drooling monster. Bender attempts to fight it off, but has his arms torn off. Things look bad, until Bender's arms discract him long enough for Bender to knock him into the giant toilet and flush him into the sub-sewer.

Quotes

 * Calculon: Give it to me straight, doctor. Don't sugar-coat it. DoctorBot: All right. Your entire family died when a plane piloted by your fiance crashed into your uninsured home, and you have inoperable cancer. Bender: [laughs hysterically]
