After being kicked out of a theme park on the Moon, Bender declares he'll make his own theme park \"with blackjack and hookers.\" The image shows Bender in a white fur coat pointing forward confidently, with Kif (a nervous green alien) visible behind him against a pinkish-red wall. The meme format replaces the theme park with anything the user has been excluded from or is fed up with. It's the internet's default response to rejection: fine, I'll start my own version and it'll be better. For another Futurama character channeling a different emotion, see Futurama Fry (suspicious uncertainty), Shut Up And Take My Money (impulsive enthusiasm), or Zoidberg Why Not (pathetic self-promotion).","sourceVideo":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-94qrgxH35M","format":"classic","howToMake":["Bender's already wearing his fur coat and pointing.
