* ShellGame: Parodied during the montage of Bender and his first two copies. The three of them use their heads as the shell's with Bender's head having the ball under. Since his head is bigger, the guy can tell it apart from the others. However, before he can choose it, the other two Benders beat him up and mug him.

* NoConservationOfMass: Averted. The duplicator requires matter to create the copies, so every time Bender makes a new pair of clones, he has to ingest something first. This becomes plot relevant when the duplicate Benders threaten to devour all matter on Earth if they keep multiplying.
* OneLinerNameOneLiner: Bender in the end when he is suspected to have folded the sweaters: "Maybe I did, Fry, maybe I did."

Using a machine that makes two smaller copies of whatever it scanned, Bender tries to decrease his already marginal workload by creating two mini-benders. However, ''these'' Benders are just as smart and lazy as the original, and things quickly get out of hand.
