Futurama is an animated science-fiction sitcom by The Simpsons creator Matt Groening. Following the adventures of hapless delivery boy Fry, cyclops pilot Leela, and beer-swilling robot Bender after the former is cyrogenically frozen and wakes up in the 31st century, the series was canceled and resurrected twice over the course of its sporadic 1999-2013 run, airing on FOX, Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block and finally Comedy Central.

TV series

I Dated a Robot (S03E15)

One of the Liubots gets stuck to a fire hydrant and fills up with water until she bursts.

The Prisoner of Benda (S06E10)

Farnsworth wants to get into a good shape seeing a photograph of Amy's fat junior self, so they switch bodies so that Farnsworth feels youthful and Amy can help him gain weight.

When Bender steals her body, Amy uses Leela's body to get a discount at the theater and digest her food but also pig out on all the high-calorie foods she usually denies herself, fattening up until, according to Hermes, she "makes Fat Albert look like Regular Albert." Amy agrees to take Hermes' body so he can lose Leela's weight.

Later, Farnsworth bloats up briefly in Bender's body when he swallows a bomb at a circus.
