Futurama: Hell Is Other Robots

After a Beastie Boys Heads concert at Madison Cube Garden, Bender goes on a bender and gets hooked on power surges. His life begins a downward spiral until he finds salvation at the Temple of Robotology. Having found religion, his polite behavior becomes so irritating to his friends that they begin to tempt him with his old vices. When he finally succumbs and returns to his old ways, he is banished to Robot Hell where, in a musical extravaganza, he faces the Robot Devil and endures tortures unimaginable to man.

Episode Quotes
Fender: Come on, Bender, grab a jack. I told these guys you were cool.
Bender: Well, if jacking on'll make strangers think I'm cool, I'll do it!

Fender: Easy, baby. You don't wanna get hooked on this stuff.
Bender: Eh, no need to worry. I don't have an addictive personality.
(smokes a cigar, drinks a beer, and jacks on again)

Robot Devil: Sorry, Bender, you agreed to this when you joined our religion. If you sin, you go to Robot Hell for all eternity.
Bender: Aw, hell- I mean "heck"!
Robot Devil: It's all right. You can say that here.

Fry: Unbelievable! It's an actual, factual Robot Hell!
Leela: Who would've thought hell would really exist? And that it would be in New Jersey!
Fry: Actually-

Robot Devil: We know all your sins, Bender, and for each one, we've prepared an agonizing and ironic punishment. Gentlemen?
(band plays)
Bender: Aw, crap, singing. Mind if I smoke?

Robot Devil: Sorry, but I hold all the cards here. There's nothing you can do. Now, if you'll just sign this fiddle contest waiver.
Leela: Wait. What fiddle contest?
Robot Devil: The Fairness in Hell Act of 2275 requires me to inform you that if you can best me in a fiddle contest, you win back Bender's soul...as well as a solid gold fiddle.
Fry: Wouldn't a solid gold fiddle weigh hundreds of pounds and sound crummy?
Robot Devil: Well, it's mostly for show.

(as Bender carries Fry and Leela up and out of Robot Hell)
Bender: Don't worry, guys. I'll never be too good or too evil again. From now on, I'll just be me.
Leela: Uh, do you think you could be just a little less evil than that?
Bender: I don't know. You think you could survive a 700-foot fall?

Leela: Bender, we didn't mind your drinking or your kleptomania or your pornography ring.
Zoidberg: In fact, that's why we loved you.
