In 2011, "Benderama" nearly saw bad boy Bender fulfill his often casually stated mission statement to "kill all humans." However, it all went down completely by accident, merely the end result of an entirely different deplorable action committed by the Futurama robot.

Professor Farnsworth invents a duplication machine which creates two perfect, although smaller, copies of an object. As he grows ever older, he grows colder and smaller, so he uses the device to create two smaller sweaters he can wear simultaneously. The Professor asks Bender to fold those new sweaters, and the robot does, but not without whining. Seeking to get out of any more extremely minor chores, Bender uses the duplicator to make two tiny Benders, and orders them to fold the sweaters. They don't do that of course, but instead join Bender in his daily life of low-level nihilism.

When they are later asked to do complete a minor task, the little Benders act like big Bender and refuse, and create clones of themselves to do it for them. Eventually all the clones keep duplicating and adding up, progressively smaller with each generation. Robots need alcohol for fuel, though, and after the many Benders consume the world's entire supply of alcohol, microscopic Bender clones get to work converting water molecules into alcohol ... which gets the entire world of living things absolutely hammered. It all turns out okay in the end, but Bender's reluctance to fold a sweater nearly caused a mass extinction.
