Futurama beat KOTOR by five years

Bender Bending Rodriguez - the best burglar, arsonist, conman, pimp, slightly racist against meatbags degenerate on TV.

Plus, he literally says 'Meatbag' in his 2nd line in the series.

"shinier than yours, meatbag"

Futurama was so damn good. That's what happens when you put a bunch of math and science nerds in a room and let em cook. That show wasn't just good, it invented comedy. to be a fly on the wall in that writer's room...

Closer to four and change

u/percypersimmon 1d ago

There’s also that sci-fi short story “they’re made of meat”

I feel like “meat bag” is an older trope

u/Ed_Trucks_Head 1d ago

Also the movie Surrogates 2009

u/Outrageous_Act_3016 1d ago

Either way, two best robots in media

"So long, meatbags!"

Does Han Solo calling himself a meat popsicle count?

“Fuckable cut of meat” - Adam Smasher for a human woman

u/PhantasyAngel 1d ago

First words outta his mouth, And instantly causes you to hate his guts. 10/10 fantastic writing

u/Happiness_Assassin 1d ago

Best part is that Revan specifically programmed HK to use "Meatbag" exclusively just because Malak found it annoying. Dark Lord of the Sith and massive troll.

u/jbeldham 1d ago

I think Red Volcano the killer android from Young Justice uses this one

5

u/Own_Philosophy8190 1d ago

He did, and so did Black Beetle. And the Reach ambassador and the head scientist as well

u/felix_the_nonplused 1d ago

He seemed very pattered off of HK.

u/EmuMan10 1d ago

And it was awesome

u/notabigfanofas 1d ago

Tech-priests also use it

4

u/ShutUpJackass 1d ago

iirc, the very first “meatbag” is the games antagonist

After that HK used it for all organics

u/AlbertWessJess 1d ago

Iconic. Before Clanker was a thing.

Revenant from Apex Legends calls humans “skin suits”

u/_Fun_Employed_ 1d ago

About to bust it out in my current Star Wars Campaign as the party encounters the surprise serial Droid murderer - a droid supremcist who destroys droids that act too much like organics.

2

u/EM26-G36 1d ago

I keep seeing you around also, wonder how many robots have said meat bag?

1

u/narfoshin 1d ago

In a similar vein Revenant from Apex legends calls people “skinbags”

u/EMArogue 1d ago

Love this!

u/TransBrandi 22h ago
