Because Bender is my favorite character, I absolutely loved "Ghost in the Machines."

I’ve always had a rather odd fascination with Futurama’s Suicide Booths (don’t be alarmed, I am a stable human being) and I was really happy to see them make a comeback in this episode. The fact that the they were Bender’s ex made things even better, “but it won’t be suicide. It’ll be murder!”

My favorite part of the episode was easily Bender’s corpse being delivered by a DeadEx truck. It was a wonderful example of the type of joke Futurama excels at: take something we all know and love, spin it for the future, and maybe make it a little gruesome. And I might have lost it with the jingle.

Overall, there wasn’t anything about “Ghost in the Machines” that I didn’t enjoy. The last third of the installment was a little rushed, but it didn’t detract from anything.

Below, I've listed the best Futurama quotes from a strong half hour:
