In fact, I’d wager a guess that compiling all of Bender’s future-leaning comments would bring up quite a few cringe-worthy bits like that.
But Bender is the kind of character who can pepper just about any conversation with comments like that and not get robot-demonized for it.
A joke of that variety likely wouldn’t have been used on a random Simpsons episode in the future, though the “Treehouse of Horror” installments have definitely gone to some dark places.
I’m not saying anyone should go out and do that right now, but it would be better than someone going out and setting up a scenario where a celebrity could be buried alive.
