Ruth and Esther
Ruth and Esther are two nasty Fembots, according to the crew, that Bender invited to an audition for the traditional oil wrestling of Robanukah 3010, which would be performed in the headquarters. [6ACV13] They agreed to do it, even though they still wanted to get paid, and the wrestling lasted 500 million years. Ruth and Esther also participated in "The Robanukah Song".

Trivia
- Their voices are patterned after stereotypical New York Jewish women; fittingly, perhaps, given that they are named after two books of the Old Testament: Ruth, the great-grandmother of King David, and Esther, the Jewish queen of Persia, who prevented the planned genocide of the Jews and instituted Purim.
