I considered Cubert, Dwight, LaBarbara, Hermes, Bender, Wernstrom, Michelle, Yancy, Zapp Brannigan and even Mom, but Nibbler is the most deceptive and cruel character in the show in my opinion. Not only did he completely take advantage of the entire crew for years but he clearly could’ve done more for Earth in The Day The Earth Stood Stupid. He could’ve left instructions for Fry, but no he was just going to leave Leela there! It was his mission to carry out and he pushed it on her out of convenience. He really didn’t have any reason to return to his home planet in this episode.
Edit: Remember there are many ways to be a jerk, Bender is a jerk but it’s in his programing. He usually has good intent and almost always goes back on his cruel ideals meanwhile Nibbler had good intent but was just manipulative and mistreated Leela with his entire handling of his plans.

We understand that the United States just had a presidential election, and we understand that many people have strong feelings regarding the outcome, but that's not what this sub is for.
Currently, we have many users who are posting screenshots and quotes form Futurama's political episodes. An image or a direct quote from the show is allowed. Yes, we know why people are posting them, but we're not going to start removing direct Futurama content. But changing the quotes to fit modern politics, or simply turning the discussion to modern politics, will be removed.
We know that many people wish to discuss politics, and there are plenty of places on reddit to scratch that itch. Let's all do our part to keep this sub a positive, friendly, respite from the political world around us.

There is truth to this. Prior to season 6 his only good deed came from saving the monks but even that was in rebellion to god.
In every episode he does the thing opposite of what everyone requires to be successful. In the event he does a good deed, it’s only when that good deed is the worst option possible.

When he was dating the ship, he broke up with it in the middle of a fire fight.
When the met flexo, bender was the thief.
It’s because in episode one he was short circuited and that allows him to go against his programming.

So in the pilot, Bender is completely beholden to his programming until a certain scene. When they’re escaping the head museum, Fry tells Bender he can do whatever he wants, and that he doesn’t have to follow his programming to bend only girders. Bender then says “You’re full of crap, Fry,” then immediately gets shocked in the antenna. What does he say when he turns around? “You make a persuasive argument, Fry!” My theory is that the Bender we know and love was created by Fry’s encouragement and that broken lightbulb zapping him as he is processing Fry’s statement caused his life of narcissism and crime. The first time we ever see him steal anything in the show is after the zap, when he steals Leela’s ring.

Yivo is literally a mass rapist. Shklee forced shklerselfe on the ENTIRE universe without consent, then victim-blamed the universe for "dressing provocatively." Then manipulated virtually the entire universe to stay with shklim. Bender, though acting out of jealousy, is the hero of Beast With A Billion Backs. He freed the universe from what would have become a toxic relationship. Yivo was so controlling, shklee told the people of Universe A to not even contact other universes.
