Jan Hooks as Angleyne

"Bendless Love" is the sixth episode in the third season of Futurama. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on February 11, 2001.

After an overly dramatic takeoff results in an inelegant crash onto the streets of the New New York, the crew discovers that the Planet Express ship's essential L-unit has been straightened. After discovering that other objects in the office have been bent, suspicion naturally turns to Bender. The bent objects include Professor Farnsworth, who is bent forward at a right angle so he always faces the ground. Offering to fix the Professor, Bender bends Farnsworth backward at a right angle. The crew plays the security tape from the night before, which shows Bender "sleep-bending". The Professor sends Bender away to satisfy his psychological need for bending; throughout the episode, the Professor annoys the rest of the crew with his uplifting personality and fascination of looking up at the sky now that he is bent backwards.

Bender gets hired at a bending plant as a scab worker during a strike, and discovers that Flexo, who was sent to prison in Bender's place in a previous episode, is also employed as a scab. Also working at the factory is a buxom blue-collar beauty of a fembot named Angleyne. Bender quickly develops an affection for Angleyne, and they begin dating. Their relationship goes well, until Bender discovers that Angleyne and Flexo are a divorced couple on friendly terms, and that they may still be affectionate.

In an attempt to discover Angleyne's true feelings, Bender disguises himself as Flexo, and meets her at an orbital nightclub. While there, Bender flashes the wad of cash he has made as a strikebreaker, which angers the members of the Robot Mafia who are present. Bender (as Flexo) succeeds in seducing Angleyne, but when she discovers his identity, Bender rushes off to kill Flexo.
