ghost in the machines is probably one of the gayest futurama episodes for fry and bender ever, and here’s evidence: every frender scene from the ep.

be warned, there were too many gay screencaps to take and 90% of this episode is one of them pining over the other, so this is gonna be long.

under the cut: gay

right at the beginning of the episode, fry is sitting on bender’s shoulders and bender is holding onto his legs as they watch a parade.

fry was scared of the balloons, and bender reassures him - “see buddy, it’s not so scary.” - and fry smiles down at him, looking happy. he says “i feel better now”, yet continues sitting on bender’s shoulders for no apparent reason for like ten minutes. nobody else seems phased or surprised by their behaviour.

later, after the parade, fry returns to the planet express building with the others to find bender looking annoyed with fry. the resulting squabble between them and the others looking on as though they’ve seen this before just screams married couple lmao.

fry admits that he thinks human life is more important than robot life. immediately upon hearing that he’s not the most important thing to fry, bender tells everyone he’s going to kill himself. the others remain unsurprised by these events.

bender is murdered (by the suicide booth) and his body is dropped off outside the planet express building. fry is the one who answers the door, maybe he’d been waiting for bender’s return. he’s the most visibly upset by bender’s death, is the one to carry him inside, is called bender’s only friend, and is the one everyone comforts at bender’s funeral.

Fry: I miss ‘im so much.

Fry: I love you, Bender.

bender’s ghost talks with the devil. bender mentions fry saying human lives are more important than robots, and the robot devil says “after all you’ve done for him!”. even beelzebot knows bender is dedicated to fry.

bender, not letting go his anger at fry’s words, makes a deal with the robot devil to try and scare fry to death to get his own life back. bender then watches fry sleep, tries to get his attention and fails, and falls asleep hovering above fry. bender follows fry around a lot for like the next 20 minutes. also he comes up with a… sensual murder plan that sounds like an excuse for bender to get his hands on fry. naked fry.

Bender’s ghost: Soap. I know Fry’s afraid of that. [Bender’s ghost rubs his hands.] Maybe he’ll die if I rub ‘im all over with it real slow.

fry tries to get the others to believe he’s being haunted, but they say he’s just upset over bender. several more scares later, bender ends up scaring fry enough to give him a heart attack and put him in hospital.

Dr. Cahill: Your only hope is to go to the Amish homeworld, where no machines are allowed. Fry: I guess it’s for the best. [Bender’s ghost’s head emerges from the heart monitor and woos.] The only machine I’ll ever miss is… [Fry whimpers.] Bender. Bender’s ghost: Say what? [Fry continues whimpering.] Fry: Now that he’s gone, I realise how valuable a Robot life can be… When it belongs to my best friend. [Fry cries. Bender’s ghost exits the heart monitor.] Bender’s ghost: [touched] That’s the closest thing to Bender is great that anyone besides me has ever said. [Bender’s ghost whimpers.]

Bender’s ghost: I’m sorry, Fry. I’m sorry! Wait for your ghost buddy!

the entire time on the amish homeworld is basically bender being with fry for everything he does, even though fry doesn’t know it, putting an arm around him and hugging him, even though fry can’t feel it, and sleeping next to him.

[Cut to: The Amish homeworld. The door opens and Fry, followed by Bender’s ghost, exits.] [Cut to: Outside. Fry and a group of Amish men, unknowingly helped by Bender’s ghost, finish building a barn shaped like a geodesic dome. Fry contemplates his work while Bender’s ghost has his arms raised.] [Cut to: Bakery. A woman removes a set of sweets from the fireplace. Fry does the same, but his sweets do not look as good. Fry is disappointed, but Bender approves of them.] [Cut to: Wheat field. Bender’s ghost passes through Fry, stares at his own hands, and hugs Fry, only to realise that Fry cannot see him.] [Cut to: Bedroom. Fry is sleeping while Bender is lying at the foot of the bed.]

the planet express crew come to visit fry. leela asks fry how he’s doing, and he just starts talking about bender, which is pretty gay. also, fry has adopted an amish (?) way of speaking, which bender copies too.

Fry: Thank you for asking, English. My life is simple, but plain. And, though Bender be gone, somehow, I feel he’s still with me. [Listening to the conversation, Bender’s ghost whimpers.] Bender’s ghost: I sure am, Brother Fry.

the robot devil has arrived too, in disguise, and reminds bender that he needs to kill fry to get his life back. bender is grateful just to be around fry and bender “kill all humans” rodriguez talks about how he could never ever kill fry.

Bender’s ghost: Sorry. I’m not gonna kill Fry. Take me to Hell for all eternity. Just as long as my little bearded meatbag gets to live.

Bender’s ghost: I would never kill Fry! Not even to save my own life! Robot Devil: But, Bender, isn’t a Robot life worth ever so much more than a Human life? Bender’s ghost: Of course not!

the robot devil makes a barn roll down the hill towards fry, with intent to kill him. bender (still a ghost) goes into the robot devil’s body and jumps in front of fry, killing the devil (and himself again?) while telling fry he loves him. yes, the first, and last thing, bender chooses to tell fry once he can hear him is “i love you!”.

also, everyone else was too busy trying not to die to care about hearing bender, but fry is shocked still and calls out to him, almost getting killed as a result of his extreme love for bender.

[Bender, in the Robot Devil’s body, runs towards Fry.] Bender’s ghost: [in the Robot Devil’s body] Fry! Fry! Look out for that bowlin’ barn! Fry: Bender?! Is that thou? Bender’s ghost: [in the Robot Devil’s body, in slow motion] I love you!

Bender’s ghost: I saved my friend. As far as I’m concerned, I won.

bender’s act of selflessness, probably his biggest in the whole series, results in him ascending to robot heaven. but he just wants to be back on earth, so he beats up robot god until he is returned.

Bender: I’m back, baby! [Zoidberg, Hermes, and Leela gasp. Fry walks up to Bender.] Fry: You’re back from the dead?! Bender: I’m back from lots of stuff. [Fry and Bender hug.] Fry: Oh, Bender, Bender, I missed you so much!

and then they make out right there with the rest of the crew watching. well, probably.
