In Videos: Futurama's Bender as Cooking Bot
An oldie but goodie. Futurama's alcoholic robot, Bender, hopes to humiliate archrival chef Elzar by training with a Yoda-like mentor and then going on Iron Cook to challenge him. Training scenes include Bender peeling a potato à la Star Wars with a lightsaber and ingesting a can of whole peppercorns and then twisting his head around like a pepper mill. Video, after the jump.

I love Futurama!
I enjoy his pre-training cooking earlier in the episode, where he processes a chicken and personalizes each persons' meal.
Other bits in the series mention interesting foods like "Bender waffles" and "Ice cream soup". I wish they had described those better! :)

Yay! Futurama rocks - too bad more people didn't tune in. I love the episode about Slurm Energy Drink. Good times.

We watch Futurama every night :) Yes, I know, I'm a dork. But I do love it! There are a lot of food references - the ice cream soup is a good one! The sterno nicoise is also a favorite.

I'll never get used to the future. Caffeneited bacon? Baconated grapefruit? ADMIRAL CRUNCH?

I could go for some Glagnar's Human Rinds.
