Futurama: Fear of a Bot Planet

The crew is out watching a game of blernsball when Bender notes that the robots are only employed as service workers to do the "crap work." He grows increasingly upset by this, but his anger is interrupted by Hermes' report of a package that arrived. The crew returns home and learns that the package's destination is Chapek 9. Because the planet is inhabited by robots that kill humans on sight, only Bender can make the actual delivery. Unfortunately, the robots discover that he came with humans. Leela and Fry must go save him, even though he might not be as helpless as they think.

Episode Quotes
Leela: Face it, Fry. Baseball was as boring as mom and apple pie, so they jazzed it up.

Fry: Hey I'm starting to get the hang of this game! The blerns are loaded, the count's three blerns and two anti-blerns, and the infield blern rule is in effect, right?
Leela: Except for the word "blern" that was complete gibberish.

Leela: We have to walk like robots, talk like robots, and if necessary solve complex differential equations like robots.
Fry: I can sort of dance like a robot. Will that help?

Robot Guard #1: Halt!
Robot Guard #2: Be you robot or human?
Leela: Robot...we be.
Fry: Uh, yup! Just two robots out robot-ing it up!

Robot Guard #2: Which of the following would you most prefer? A) a puppy B) a pretty flower from your sweetie, or C) a large properly formatted data file?
Robot Guard #1: Choose!
Fry: Uh, is the puppy mechanical in any way?
Robot Guard #2: No! It is the bad kind of puppy.
Leela: Then we'll go with that data file.
Robot Guard #2: Correct.
Robot Guard #1: The flower would also have been acceptable.

Bender: Wait, what's that?
Robot Mayor: Oh, thats the old abandoned adult book store. Nothing in there except maybe a few shreds of moldy, old robot pornography.
Bender: Mmm, sounds like a breeding ground for humans. I'd better check it out.

Bender: (seeing the decorations) Wow, I can't believe you guys did all this for me! This is the best Robanukah ever!
Fry: We wanted to show you that we really do respect your robot heritage.
Bender: Aw, thanks! You do know I made Robanukah up to get out of work, right?
Leela: Of course.
Fry: But that doesn't make it any less meaningful.

Fry: What just happened? Why is the ball on that springy thing?
Leela: It's traditional. Just like aluminum bats and the seventh inning grope.

Bender: You humans are so scared of a little robot competition you won't even let us on the field.
Fry: What are you talking about? There's all kinds of robots down there.
Bender: Yeah, doing crap work! They're bat boys, ball polishers, sprinkler systems. But how many robot managers are there?
Fry: Eleven?
Bender: Zero!
