How do they work?
179
00:07:55,534 --> 00:07:58,459
They're full of gears.
Hundreds of 'em.
180
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:01,721
Gears, of course, but you made
a mechanical doppelganger
181
00:08:01,798 --> 00:08:04,557
of yourself just to hang out
with your best friend?
182
00:08:04,634 --> 00:08:07,819
Uh, well, Lenny's really into
jigsaw puzzles,
183
00:08:07,896 --> 00:08:09,804
and I am not.
184
00:08:09,881 --> 00:08:11,305
So, whenever he breaks one out,
185
00:08:11,383 --> 00:08:13,066
I send in Robot Carl.
186
00:08:13,218 --> 00:08:16,995
Call that number
and start living your best life.

00:08:20,742 --> 00:08:24,060
My, my, you are quite the me.

Now, h-how does one
power you up?
189
00:08:26,581 --> 00:08:29,415
Well, I do enjoy a good
cup of coffee in the morning.
190
00:08:29,492 --> 00:08:32,493
Oh, as do I. Nature's
pipe cleaner, I call it.
191
00:08:32,495 --> 00:08:34,846
But you would know that,
uh, being me,
192
00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:36,740
only in robot form, of course.
193
00:08:36,742 --> 00:08:40,352
Yes, quite. A-And you
the human me, as it were.
194
00:08:40,428 --> 00:08:42,595
-Indeed. Yes.
-Very good.
195
00:08:42,672 --> 00:08:44,430
-Well, there you have it.
-Have it, we do.
196
00:08:44,507 --> 00:08:45,598
So, how can I help?
197
00:08:45,751 --> 00:08:48,360
I like a man who gets
right to the point.
198

00:08:49,696 --> 00:08:50,754
Ah, yes, you would.
200
00:08:50,772 --> 00:08:52,088
Well, eh, shall we?
201

205
00:09:02,909 --> 00:09:04,876
Don't do anything I wouldn't do.
206
00:09:05,028 --> 00:09:07,712
I don't think my programming
would allow it.
207
00:09:14,462 --> 00:09:17,639
What are you doing here? I...
I just saw you at the school.
208

209
00:09:26,233 --> 00:09:29,216
[panting]
How... how are there two of you?
210
00:09:29,294 --> 00:09:32,237
[panting] I ordered a robot me
211
00:09:32,314 --> 00:09:34,239
so I wouldn't have to be
around you anymore.
212
00:09:34,316 --> 00:09:36,816

Robot-Skinner me,
213

You're the annoying one.
215
00:09:40,581 --> 00:09:41,988
And you're the mean one.
216
00:09:42,065 --> 00:09:43,898
Oh, you'd yell your name at you
217
00:09:43,975 --> 00:09:45,975
if you had to deal
with you, too.
218
00:09:45,977 --> 00:09:49,236
I would find myself
highly tolerable.
219
00:09:49,238 --> 00:09:51,572
Guy from the bar that night,
thank God I found you.
220
00:09:51,650 --> 00:09:54,667
You got to destroy that robot
before it's too late.
221
00:09:54,820 --> 00:09:56,002
What's wrong with the robots?
222
00:09:56,079 --> 00:09:57,078
I don't know what happened.
223
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,671
Something with the gears, maybe.
224
00:09:58,824 --> 00:10:00,599
Good God.
225
00:10:00,675 --> 00:10:02,992
Robot Carl started thinking
for himself,
226
00:10:03,011 --> 00:10:04,844
and it wasn't pretty.
227
00:10:04,996 --> 00:10:07,439
Last night, the robot tells me
he planned a trip
228
00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:09,349
to Niagara Falls
for him and Lenny.
229
00:10:09,425 --> 00:10:10,775
Well, that sounds like fun,
230
00:10:10,852 --> 00:10:14,854
so I says, "I'm going
because I'm the real Carl."
231
00:10:14,931 --> 00:10:17,173
And then he starts crying,
232
00:10:17,175 --> 00:10:18,766
which they ain't supposed to do.
233
00:10:18,785 --> 00:10:20,844
But when I tried to shove him
in his crate,
234
00:10:20,846 --> 00:10:22,770
that wind-up dingus fought back
235
00:10:22,848 --> 00:10:24,122
with robot super strength.
236
00:10:24,199 --> 00:10:26,625
So I did the only thing I could.
237
00:10:29,521 --> 00:10:30,462
You got to act fast.
238
00:10:30,538 --> 00:10:32,856
Once the robots
start feeling emotions,
239
00:10:32,874 --> 00:10:35,091
there's no telling
what could happen.
240
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:40,530
Uh, children, we have
recently become aware
241
00:10:40,532 --> 00:10:42,882
of an extraordinary
human concept.
242
00:10:42,959 --> 00:10:44,792
It's called friendship.
243
00:10:44,794 --> 00:10:46,645
Dear God, emotions.
244
00:10:46,796 --> 00:10:48,054
We're too late.
245
00:10:48,056 --> 00:10:50,373
In order to promote
friend-making,
246
00:10:50,375 --> 00:10:52,633
students are encouraged
to call their teachers
247
00:10:52,711 --> 00:10:54,711
by their first names.
248
00:10:54,713 --> 00:10:55,820
First-name-calling?
249
00:10:55,897 --> 00:10:57,155
No, that can only lead to
250
00:10:57,232 --> 00:10:58,973
the breakdown
of the social order.
251
00:10:58,992 --> 00:11:00,717

He's lying. Shoot him.
267
00:11:42,093 --> 00:11:43,276
Shoot the one on the left.

Shoot 'em both.
It's the only way to be sure.

to play God.

I have learned from all of this,

other than don't make
robots of yourself,
274
00:11:59,702 --> 00:12:01,202
it's that I could afford
275
00:12:01,204 --> 00:12:03,972
to be a little bit nicer
to you, Seymour.
276

277

Shoot him!
God, you're an idiot!

that might understand this.
355
00:16:35,386 --> 00:16:39,813
It's possible we've been
wrong about everything.

-[sneeze]

358
00:16:43,061 --> 00:16:45,152
The dog that sneezed
in the baby's face,
359
00:16:45,230 --> 00:16:46,820
what's his backstory?
360
00:16:46,822 --> 00:16:49,398
There's no backstory.
It just is.
361
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,826
Which is its own kind
of innovative narrative?
362
00:16:52,828 --> 00:16:54,587
No, no narrative!
363
00:16:54,663 --> 00:16:57,164
[moans] Forget it.
364
00:16:57,242 --> 00:17:01,835
Please, son, just don't
tell anyone about this.
365
00:17:01,855 --> 00:17:03,604
I trust you.
366
00:17:05,767 --> 00:17:08,192
Reports of lowbrow contraband!
367
00:17:08,194 --> 00:17:10,770
Why, son?
Why did you betray me?
368
00:17:10,772 --> 00:17:12,697
I trusted you!
369
00:17:13,867 --> 00:17:15,700

Siegfried Blaze!
371
00:17:20,932 --> 00:17:22,856
Homer, you disappoint me.
372
00:17:22,934 --> 00:17:26,377
Don't you see that we set fires
for the good of humanity?
373
00:17:26,454 --> 00:17:28,437
We learned long ago
that entertainment
374
00:17:28,439 --> 00:17:32,199
must fully occupy the
consciousness of the population.
375
00:17:32,201 --> 00:17:35,702
You're using quality TV
to control us.
376
00:17:35,780 --> 00:17:39,724
Yes, these challenging shows
are the perfect distraction
377
00:17:39,801 --> 00:17:43,452
from how dystopian
our dystopia is.
378
00:17:43,454 --> 00:17:44,896
You monster!
379
00:17:44,898 --> 00:17:46,213
Am I?
380
00:17:46,291 --> 00:17:48,474
Do you know what
entertainment was like
381
00:17:48,551 --> 00:17:50,142
in the before-times?
382
00:17:50,219 --> 00:17:53,145
Comfort shows you could
just put on in any order
383
00:17:53,222 --> 00:17:55,798
while you looked at your phone.
384
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,483
Oh, that sounds like heaven.
385
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,226
Don't worry,
a little reeducation
386
00:17:59,228 --> 00:18:00,803
and you'll be as good as new.
387
00:18:00,805 --> 00:18:02,988
Strap him
to the viewing chamber
388
00:18:03,065 --> 00:18:05,566

389
00:18:05,568 --> 00:18:07,585
Mozart in the Jungle.

393
00:18:11,499 --> 00:18:13,424
crap!

[low growl]
395
00:18:17,931 --> 00:18:19,580
Barney, I can't explain,
396
00:18:19,657 --> 00:18:21,991
but I need to switch clothes
with you.
397
00:18:21,993 --> 00:18:23,476
What fun!
398
00:18:28,516 --> 00:18:29,482
Huh?
399
00:18:30,926 --> 00:18:32,335
[fireman over loudspeaker]
Threat neutralized.

[Homer gasps]
The symbol from the tape.
402
00:18:42,238 --> 00:18:44,513
Please, let me in.
403
00:18:44,515 --> 00:18:47,867
I just want to watch something
that isn't very good.

[Homer]
Yoink!
406
00:18:50,296 --> 00:18:53,464
They said there were others
like me.
407
00:19:04,702 --> 00:19:07,353
[gasps] Lowbrow...
408
00:19:08,148 --> 00:19:11,465
[flatly]
Hey, hey.
409
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,486
This is all that remains
of the old civilization.
410
00:19:15,488 --> 00:19:18,639
Singing contests.
Real Housewives.
411
00:19:18,716 --> 00:19:20,216
The Golden Bachelor.
412
00:19:20,218 --> 00:19:22,401
All yours to enjoy.
413
00:19:22,478 --> 00:19:26,222
I never dreamed there was
this much nothing.

415
00:19:29,577 --> 00:19:33,087
Thank you, Homer,
for leading us here.
416
00:19:39,754 --> 00:19:43,163
Hey, isn't that the guy
who created Breaking Bad?
417
00:19:43,241 --> 00:19:46,058
Vince Gilligan? Where?
418
00:19:46,928 --> 00:19:48,093
Let them go.
419
00:19:48,170 --> 00:19:50,354
They have no garbage
left to watch.
420
00:19:50,431 --> 00:19:53,249
[Homer]
Some say the world
is destined to drown
421
00:19:53,267 --> 00:19:55,434
in an ocean of
prestige television.
422
00:19:55,436 --> 00:19:57,195
But so long as we tell the tales
423
00:19:57,197 --> 00:20:00,031
of singers masked
and Kardashians kept up with,
424
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:02,775
garbage will live forever.
425
00:20:02,777 --> 00:20:05,519
And then Sheldon said,
426
00:20:05,596 --> 00:20:07,038
"Bazinga."
427
00:20:07,189 --> 00:20:09,690
So in the end,
the only rules that mattered
428
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:11,934
were the Vanderpump rules.
429
00:20:11,936 --> 00:20:13,436
That night, my friends,
430
00:20:13,438 --> 00:20:16,939
the funniest home video
in all of America
431
00:20:16,941 --> 00:20:18,607
was deemed to be
432
00:20:18,609 --> 00:20:22,035
"Squirrel Falls
in Grandma's Soup."

Wow, those stories are amazing.
439
00:20:37,128 --> 00:20:38,310
But I guess I should be
leaving this...
440
00:20:38,312 --> 00:20:41,054
strange, featureless void?
441
00:20:41,132 --> 00:20:43,407
What happened? Where am I?
442
00:20:43,409 --> 00:20:48,246
