A gaydar is a small hand-held device similar to a radar. It is used to determine whether someone is homosexual or not. It is known for its questionably high success rate. It is, however, susceptible to interference from gay weather balloons and is flawed because it deems everyone "gay". It is one of the many gadgets which Bender carries around with him everywhere.

- Fruit Machines were actual gaydar devices built to detect gays in the Canadian Civil Service from 1950-1973.]] Gaydar (a portmanteau of gay and radar) is the intuitive ability to determine whether another person is gay (homosexual), or straight (heterosexual). The function of "gaydar" relies on non-verbal sensory information and intuitions. These include the sensitivity to social behavior and mannerisms: for example; a sensitivity to flamboyant or overt rejection of traditional gender roles (including occupation and grooming habits).

These include the sensitivity to social behavior and mannerisms: for example; a sensitivity to flamboyant or overt rejection of traditional gender roles (including occupation and grooming habits). The idea of gaydar is complicated by gay men not acting in a stereotypical fashion and also by metrosexual men who have a heightened aesthetic sense, regardless of sexuality and exhibit a lifestyle, spending habits and concern for personal appearance traditionally likened to those stereotypes of a fashionable, urban, gay man.
