[Futurama] In ep1, why did Bender want to kill himself if he believed that after death he'd wake up in a new shell?

Why would he try to kill himself if he knew that after he died his AI would be transferred to a back-up body?

Was he just hoping that his new body wouldn't end up bending girders for suicide booths?  Wouldn't he just be shipped back there as a replacement?

Cause he was bored. Robots are shown to be hedonists pretty much all the time (Hedonismbot nonwithstanding), Bender was just having a dull day and decided to kill himself as a lark. Notice that once he and Fry start hanging out he completely drops the idea of killing himself, cause now he has something better to do.
