[edit] Plot
SpongeBob is watching a scary movie at night with Gary, and is freaked out. He keeps on fearing a robot invasion, and even asks Gary if he's a robot. He has a nightmare that robots are taking over the world and are chasing him. At work, he is very cautious, and is under the impression that robots are "everywhere". He later finds evidence that Mr. Krabs is a robot, although the audience is informed that the evidence is accidental. SpongeBob sees Mr. Krabs "speaking" in a robot language (really just singing to some music), wearing batteries (the batteries were dead and he had put them in his pocket to save them and give them to his daughter Pearl for Christmas), and glowing red eyes (he accidentally threw salt into his eyes while trying to salt a hard-boiled egg because SpongeBob screamed his name).
After collecting enough evidence, he tells and proves to Squidward that Mr. Krabs is a robot. They begin to interrogate some machines while Mr. Krabs is tied up, demanding the location of the 'real Mr. Krabs'. Since they don't reply, SpongeBob and Squidward start smashing them (In total, they smashed $120.12 worth of items excluding 'the gift' - a coffee maker). When they come to the cash register, Mr. Krabs cries, and it is revealed that he isn't a robot. SpongeBob reveals the end of the movie (the robots were only their imagination), and runs off, leaving Squidward in trouble.
[edit] Trivia
- It is revealed SpongeBob has a relative named Uncle Sherm. This is quite possibly a reference to one of the shows writers, Sherm Cohen.
- SpongeBob believes robots:
- Can't laugh
- Can't cry
- Can't love
- Are equipped with piercing red eyes and metal pincers
- Run on batteries
- SpongeBob's tests for Mr. Krabs:
- Squidward tells him a joke. Mr. Krabs doesn't laugh and Squidward claims he obviously heard the joke before.
- The joke is Why didn't the eleven year old get into the pirate movie? It was rated arrr!
- SpongeBob claims that Squidward's father never hugged him. Squidward complains to SpongeBob that his father loved him very much.
- SpongeBob claims that Squidward loves him. You can guess why Mr. Krabs does nothing!
- Squidward tells him a joke. Mr. Krabs doesn't laugh and Squidward claims he obviously heard the joke before.
- Mr. Krabs' personal items cost:
- Blender: $24.95
- Toaster: $32.50
- Juicer: $62.67
- Coffee Maker: A gift
- The lists of personal items is possibility a parody of Mastercard Ads.
- Mr. Krabs' cash register was originally a calculator brought on from generations, and is assumed to have "grown".
- Squidward replies to his father in the past-tense, implying his father is deceased.
- When SpongeBob and Squidward tie Mr. Krabs to a chair, you can see customers through the window.
- Actually, this was the second time Mr. Krabs was thought of as being a robot. In Imitation Krabs SpongeBob thinks the real Mr. Krabs is a robot.
- On December 5th, 2006, Drake Bell tinted the color of the episode orange, his favorite color, partway through the episode for a few seconds.
- Comcast's guide information for this episode and Rock-a-Bye Bivalve includes the line "SpongeBob sells candy bars door-to-door. Later, Mr. Krabs is accused of being a robot." The former line mistakenly came from Chocolate with Nuts, there's no information about the latter cartoon in this episode, and this cartoon is the first part of the episode, instead of after the bivalve cartoon, as it was believed to be said in the cable service's information.
- The song 'Electric Zoo' was featured on Spongebob Squarepants:The Yellow Album.
- SpongeBob calls Mr. Krabs's radio his "little buddy" in a similar accent and manner of Tony Montana, the main character in the movie Scarface.
