Robots is a Season 2 episode of The Mr. Men Show. It first premiered on 16 September, 2009.
Synopsis[]
Mr. Grumpy's dream robot turns into a nightmare; Little Miss Scary builds a robot; and a robot tries to take over Good Morning Dillydale.
Plots[]
- Mr. Grumpy's Plot: Miss Chatterbox delivers Mr. Grumpy a robot version of him, which he believes will change his life as people will bother it instead of him and it will do all of his jobs for him. It brings Mr. Stubborn and Mr. Nervous into his house when he asks for stuff (specifically a bucket of bean burgers and ketchup). Then it brings Mr. Noisy, Mr. Happy and Miss Sunshine into his house when it misinterprets that Mr. Grumpy wanted a band after Mr. Grumpy told Mr. Nervous to stop singing. Mr. Grumpy then leaves in frustration, remarking "so much for my peace and quiet!".
- The Robots' and Mr. Rude's Plot (US version only): At the Dillydale Theatre, an instrumental performance is conducted by robotic versions of Mr. Messy, Mr. Rude, Little Miss Sunshine, Mr. Strong, Mr. Quiet, Mr. Grumpy, Mr. Small, Mr. Scatterbrain, Little Miss Chatterbox and Mr. Tall. It ends abruptly when the robot Mr. Rude farts, causing the other robots to leave and shout his name, everyone then leaves with the exception of the real Mr. Rude who is clapping, the robot then bows and the segment ends.
- Miss Scary, Miss Whoops, Mr. Fussy and Mr. Rude's Plot: Miss Scary and Miss Whoops make a robot, but Miss Whoops drops and breaks the computer brain and uses a toaster instead, making the robot zap Mr. Rude and Mr. Fussy's baguettes instead of growling and showing its teeth off. Miss Scary gets annoyed at this when she finds out, until the robot zaps Mr. Nervous' bread costume, which she finds a good scare. In the end, Miss Scary and Miss Whoops decide to use the robot to make a waffle, to which Mr. Fussy decides to join the two in.
- Dance Video: Mr. Messy dances with his robot counterpart.
- Mr. Happy, Miss Sunshine, Mr. Metal and Miss Naughty's Plot: Mr. Happy and Miss Sunshine introduce Mr. Metal on Good Morning Dillydale. He says that he wants to be a host on the show, but Mr. Happy keeps telling him that the job has been taken. He eventually has enough and shrinks Mr. Happy and Miss Sunshine with his shrinking ray. It was revealed that Miss Naughty built him to take over the show as its host. Mr. Metal states he is the host and she gets shrunk as well.
