"The Lesser of Two Evils" is episode ten in Season Two of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on February 20, 2000.
Plot
At a "Past-o-Rama" event, Fry accidentally runs over a robot that looks exactly like Bender. His name is Flexo, and he immediately gets along well with Bender. Fry, however, believes that Flexo is evil, especially noting his tendency to constantly insult him, and follow it up with half-hearted, "just kidding," making a humongous robot stripper give him a painful lap dance, or when he blows chlorine in his face. Later, Professor Farnsworth hires Flexo to be extra help to guard a beautiful gigantic atom of "jumbonium," which goes on top of the Miss Universe Pageant winner's tiara. Fry falls asleep on his watch, and when he wakes up, the atom is gone, and so is Flexo. Bender, Fry and Leela search the ship but Fry mistakes that Bender is Flexo because Bender uses a map, turtleneck sweater and a scarf which hides where Flexo's goatee would have been. When they go into the pagent they are pressured by Bob Barker to find the atom before it's too late Fry, Leela, and Bender run into Flexo, and Bender and Flexo are engaged in combat. Not knowing who to shoot, Leela shoots an overhead chandelier, hitting them both. The chandelier ornaments knock Bender's door open, revealing that Bender was the one who stole the jumbonium. Flexo had actually run to tell Bob Barker. However, in the end, the police apprehend Flexo instead, and Bob Barker, saying that he "looks like {the thief}", had him taken away instead of Bender.
