Bender Bending Rodriguez is the robot antihero of Futurama, the animated science-fiction comedy that first aired in 1999. Voiced by John DiMaggio, Bender is known for his selfish humour, drinking, and deadpan one-liners, and his short, knowing chuckle has become a recognisable reaction in fan edits and meme videos. Because the clip is under a second long, it spreads easily as a soundboard button and a reaction sound, used whenever a creator wants a quick, sarcastic acknowledgement without a longer quote.
