Futurama 10 Big Mistakes That Bender Did That We Can Learn From

It’s safe to say that Bender from Futurama has made a mistake or two over the course of the series. The real question is; did he learn from those mistakes? Well, probably not, this is Bender we’re talking about.

That doesn’t have to stop us from learning from those mistakes though. Some lessons learned from Bender’s experience are clear and easy to decipher, while others are broader strokes. Regardless, there’s a surprising about we can learn from this fan favorite.

10 Don’t Leave Fires Unattended

It doesn’t matter how safe you think it might be, just don’t leave any fire unattended. Even the smallest flame in the most unlikely situation can cause a catastrophic fire. Just look at what happened in ‘The Deep South’.

In this episode, Bender burned down Zoidberg’s home by leaving his cigar in the shell house. Even though the shell was at the bottom of the ocean, the home still burned up. Perhaps we should learn from that?

9 Silence Is Golden

Sometimes it is better to stay silent than throw your friend under the bus. Oh, did we say sometimes? More like all the time. In ‘Spanish Fry’, Bender casually threw out a comment that all but told Lrr to castrate Fry.

One would hope that you would never find yourself in such a position. But it’s still a worthwhile lesson. There are times when keeping your sassy comments to yourself is the right call.

8 Learning to Be Yourself

In ‘Bend Her’ fans were taught an important lesson. One that Bender probably didn’t learn alongside us, but that’s okay. In this episode, Bender took it upon himself to change into a woman in order to succeed in the 3004 Earth Olympics.

We could dive further into the plot, but let’s focus on the lesson to be learned here. Instead of trying to change yourself (especially for the sake of a scam), instead just be happy with who you are.

7 Focus On the Now

It’s easy to get wrapped up in what could be. We’ve all done it, including Bender. In ‘A Pharaoh To Remember’, Bender got a little too preoccupied with what he was leaving behind (after he died), that he forgot about the here and now.

Realistically, none of us are ever going to try and erect a 284,000 mile high statue of ourselves, but we can still learn a lesson from this moment regardless. Mainly to focus on the now, and more importantly; to appreciate it.

6 Ghosting Is Never Kind

Breaking up can be difficult. We’ve all been there. But we can all agree that there are certain ways of breaking up that are never right. For example, ghosting. If you want out of the relationship, just say so.

Perhaps if Bender had learned that lesson, he wouldn’t have been in so much danger during ‘Love and Rocket’. After all, he got the ship to fall in love with him, only to then become bored with her. What followed got a little insane, even by Planet Express standards.

5 There Is Such A Thing As Too Lazy

Remember that time that Bender almost destroyed the world with his laziness? We remember. In ‘Benderama’, Bender took advantage of the Professor’s copier to avoid doing a single task. It quickly spiraled out of control, with Benders constantly making more and more Benders.

The point is; there is such a thing as being too lazy. This is possibly one lesson that Bender actually did learn. Or not. More likely not, given the state of affairs at the end, but still, we can hope.

4 Don’t Always Trust What You See On TV

Is it a bit ironic for a TV show to be teaching us that lesson? Hard to say, but they’re not wrong. There are times where you simply cannot trust what you see on TV. That includes being cautious about having TV based role models.

In ‘Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV’, Bender gets himself into all sorts of trouble. Starting with landing a role on his favorite show, and ending with him leading a mob onto the studio set. Think he learned his lesson?

3 Have Respect

Do you remember that time when Bender got so excited, he accidentally blinded Leela? While we might not remember that moment, we sure do. In ‘Bender Gets Mate’, Bender was given the opportunity to be present for a show he adored with all his robotic little heart.

Too bad he didn’t have any respect for the moment. Instead, he was as loud and boorish as possible, all of which ultimately led to Leela getting spice weasel in the eye, and losing her sight for the episode.

2 Have Some Empathy

There’s nothing wrong with a little bit of empathy. A lesson that Bender had to learn the hard way in ‘I Second That Emotion’. Yes, we know that technically Leela also learned the opposite lesson, but we’re just going to gloss over that for a moment.

What we can take away from this: be more considerate of others’ feelings, and try to let some more empathy into your lives. If Bender can do it, so can we.

1 Love Your Friends

There’s more than one lesson to be learned from ‘A Pharaoh To Remember’. After all, Bender didn’t just ignore his present when he obsessed about his legacy. He ignored his friends too. That’s a lesson that even he was forced to learn.

So appreciate your friends. They’re there for you during the best and worst parts of your life, and they deserve to be recognized for that. Don’t take them for granted, and certainly don’t go throwing them into a tomb or anything like that.
