The parents of the robots explain they want the house, but they do not have any money, but Markula decides to give them the house regardless.


Cultural references

Willis hinted on Twitter that "Boston" makes reference to the band Boston, and confirmed it satires the 2007 Boston bomb scare. "Robots Everywhere" references Rambo film series when Carl dress up like John Rambo and shoots the robots. In "Dummy Love" Meatwad wishes on a star for his two dummies to become real boys is similar to what Mister Geppetto did, in the 1940 film, Pinocchio. The storyline from "Dummy Love" is a parody of Night of the Living Dummy, from the Goosebumps series; as in both the books and this episode, a murderous dummy comes to life and no matter what anybody tries to get rid of it, the dummy always comes back to life. "Dummy Love" also references the Twilight Zone episodes "The Dummy" and "Caesar and Me". In the "The Marines" Frylock is held captive in Canada by a man who resembles Billy from the Saw film series, who wears a ski mask similar to Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th series. "The Marines" also self-references Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters, Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, and the Volume Five DVD for the series. In addition "The Marines" satires the former law of gays being banned from serving in the military. Adult Swim losing the rerun rights to Futurama, as Comedy Central had bought the rights to the show is referenced in "Bible Fruit".

Resumption

Jonah Krakow of IGN gave "Robots Everywhere" a 5.5 out 10, which considered "Mediocre", saying "We could get deeply psychoanalytical and say that Carl's confusion and annoyance with the robots is a metaphor for the audience's suffering and the robots are the staff of ATHF doing the torturing". Krakow gave the following episode, "Sirens" an 8, which is considered "Great", saying "Thankfully, this episode was much stronger than last week as Carl and his sexual desires were the focus of the comedy instead of annoying robots". Krakow gave "Couples Skate" an 8.3 and praised the return of Master Shake, Frylock, and Meatwad, calling it a "solid episode". Krakow gave "Reedickyoulus" gave this episode an 8.5, and gave this episode a good review, but said Master Shake killing kittens in a microwave was "going too far". "Hoppy Bunny" was gave given a 8 by Krakow, who praised this episode for originality saying "Not too many shows out there would touch Furries". Krakow gave "Laser Lenses" a 7, who noted that the episode didn't give any new information or insight about any of the characters saying "They simply ran around, pissed each other off and got themselves into disgusting circumstances. Sometimes, that's good enough". Krakow gave "Dummy Love" a 7.0, and said the episode had funny moments but wasn't as funny as it could be, and that the episode has a lot of potential, which it didn't live up to saying. "The Marines" revived Krakow's lowest score of the season with a 5.5. Krakow said the only funny parts of "The Marines" were Saw parody and the CGI gum commercial funny, saying "Unfortunately, the majority of this episode just didn't work at all. The jokes were old or non-existent, the plot made no sense and Carl wasn't there as an additional source of comedy". Krakow gave "Bible Fruit" the greatest score of the season, 9.5, which is considered "amazing; and gave the episode a good review saying it was a great way to end the season.
