Bender Bending Rodríguez debuted in Futurama in 1999, the animated sci-fi comedy created by Matt Groening and voiced by John DiMaggio. His catchphrase bite my shiny metal ass became one of the show's most quoted lines, printed on merchandise and repeated by fans for decades. This golden ass variant circulates online as a short soundboard clip and meme reaction, keeping the same dismissive attitude while giving editors a fresh version of a line that still gets used whenever a blunt, funny shutdown is needed.
