Hedonismbot is unnecessarily made of gold, demands that his servant pour chocolate on his belly, has the largest carbon footprint of any robot in Futurama, and has a painfully-short attention span that is never satisfied by stable pleasures. Here, Hedonismbot represents the Cyrenaic School from Antiquity.
Lovable old Bender pursues pleasure by satisfying his basic chemical needs, (like consuming alcohol to recharge his fuel cells) as well as by engaging in fun activities (like folk singing, and performing magic). Unlike Hedonismbot, Bender cultivates a healthy friendship as another source of true, Epicurean pleasure.
