classicswim It only becomes watchable at the 6 minute mark. Within the first minute it’s practically already telling you “stop watching. Stop watching now.”
Danny Trejo’s getting more voiceover checks.
Bender being Spanish in the old show was always just a one-note random joke I guess to prevent the thought of the loudmouth robot also being racist.
And specifically there, they did that in the middle of the FOX run. Before that, Bender used the robot version of a Jewish holiday in one episode and kept doing a black/white - human/robot parallel because that was just their writing in 1999.
Me actually being Spanish, I just didn’t care. It was always a hardly grin-worthy bit that they didn’t take seriously either.

To actually see Bender’s old family was cool for a few minutes. I’ll admit that Bendejo was a pretty good line.

I saw the sacrifice betrayal coming a mile away. It was something they had already done before which really mattered even less here. His family were set plot devices that fucked off before and after Bender escaped because they were evidently that meaningless as characters. Just something Bender could say he saw for a few minutes.
It’s funny because in that episode where Hermes brought Bender to the world, they also just... didn’t exist. Because they were always a joke concept.
The B story is barely worth paying attention to in comparison. Complete waste of time.
