The What-If Machine is a machine made out of gold that displays scenarios. These scenarios are given in the form of "what if" questions. The questions only have to make sense in context. At the end of Twice Told Tales Of Interest, the What-If machine (being used as a poker buddy by Bender) self destructed, because of a self-destruct chip Bender used when turning it into a robot thinking it was an empathy chip. However, Professor Farnsworth implied that the machine would be fixed in a year.
Scenarios
- In (2ACV16), Bender asks, "What if I was 500-feet tall?"
- In (2ACV16), Leela asks, "What would happen if I was a little more impulsive?"
- In (2ACV16), Fry asks, "What if I never fell into that freezer-doodle and came to the future-jiggy?" The Professor clarifies this as "What would happen if Fry never came to the future?"
- In (2ACV16), it is implied that Professor Farnsworth asks, "What if I invented the Fing-Longer?"
- In (3ACV18), Professor Farnsworth asks (for Bender), "What if Bender were human?"
- In (3ACV18), Professor Farnsworth asks (for Fry), "What if life were more like a video game?" (Fry asked the question in a non 'What If' state, then just said 'What if that thing I said ?'.)
- In (3ACV18), Leela asks, "What if I found my true home?"
- In (US#007), Bender asks, "What would happen if I went back in time to 1999?"
- In (US#024) Fry asks "What if it was Xmas every day?"
- In (US#024) Bender asks "What if we skip Leela's question?"
- In (US#024) Fry asks "What if life were like a sitcom?"
