Things are going well for ZIM, though when his skool hosts a parent teacher night conference, ZIM realizes that he needs to have his robotic parents perform normally or risk having his disguise blown. Unfortunately, his robotic parents don’t act like humans at all, so he formulates a plan to teach them proper earth etiquette in order to make it through the event. Though when GIR interferes with ZIM’s plan, will his robotic parents still behave normally enough to deceive the humans at the conference?

Saleswoman: Um, oh, heh. Is the lady of the house in?
Robo-Mom: That’s me! I’m a house lady, brush your teeth!
Saleswoman: Um, I’m selling make-up and I just know you’ll find something great in…
Robo-Mom: I said brush your teeth!
(Robo-Mom takes out a toothbrush and tackles the saleswoman)
 
Robo-Mom: Are you ready dear?

Robo-Dad: Well then, we oughta be on our way.

Robo-Dad: We sure are.
(Robo-Dad has trouble saying his line, he falls somewhat forward)
 
Mr. Elliot: Hey kids, your dad! I never knew he was a floating head!
Dib: No, he’s not. My dad’s just really busy and he couldn’t be here in person. He’s transmitting live from his lab across town.
(Professor Membrane is seen on the screen holding a test tube)
Mr. Elliot: Hey, my dad was like that too, you know I understand. It’s nice to meet you, professor.
(Mr. Elliot reaches out his hand to the floating monitor)
Mr. Elliot: I’m Mr. Elliot, huh, your daughter Gaz’s teacher!
(Gaz groans)
Professor Membrane: I’m sorry, but I’m very busy right now. We’re testing some highly unstable… No! You have the mixture all wrong!

Robo-Dad: Yup! Diarrhea!
(Nearly the entire room starts to stare at ZIM’s parents)
 
Mr. Elliot: Hey, is your dad feeling well?
ZIM: Yes, he’s perfectly fine.
(Robo-Dad’s left arm explodes and flies across the room)
ZIM: Nothing to worry about! My dad lost his arm in the, uh, the war!
Robo-Dad: That was my squeezin’ arm. They took my squeezing arm! Why my squeezing arm!
 
ZIM: Look, mom, we really have to go! Please. Now, please!
Robo-Mom: Honey, you’re upset!
ZIM: Yes! And I want to go home!
Robo-Mom: I know what’ll cheer you up!
(Robo-Mom and Robo-Dad start river dancing)
 
GIR: (chasing after the saleswoman) Wait, come back! I need stuff!
 
(ZIM and his parents fly out of the window, everybody in the class is looking the other way)

(Dib tosses his cup on the ground, everybody instantly turns around)
Man: Hey! That kid’s throwing punch!
