• "This Grill is Not a Home":

A stove is a stove, no matter where you go.
A patty is a patty. That's what I say.
A grill is a grill. This is surely so.
And fries should be fries, either way.
But this grill is not a home. This is not the stove I know.
I would trade it all away, if you'd come back to stay.
This kitchen's not the same without you.
It's just a grill. It's just a greasy spoon.
Without you.

Plot

The Robot Chef

It is closing time at the Krusty Krab, and Mr. Krabs tells SpongeBob that he's going to play a card game against Plankton. SpongeBob is shocked at this, and asks why he'd play against such an evil person. Mr. Krabs explains that Plankton is the worst card player in Bikini Bottom, and he's been winning every week for the last 15 years. In the morning, he tells SpongeBob that he lost, and that he bet SpongeBob's contract. SpongeBob is taken to the Chum Bucket and forced to work for Plankton, who commands him to make a Krabby Patty, threatening to remove his brain and put it in a robot. However, SpongeBob is unable to work in the Chum Bucket's cold, laboratory-like kitchen, and Karen suggests Plankton to show SpongeBob compassion and understanding so that he'll obey him. Plankton goes to great lengths to accommodate SpongeBob's working conditions, eventually converting the Chum Bucket kitchen into an exact replica of the Krusty Krab kitchen. However, SpongeBob is still not satisfied, and demands even more of Plankton, acting like a spoiled brat.

Eventually, Plankton takes out SpongeBob's brain and implants it in the robot as punishment. However, the robot also refuses to make a Krabby Patty, so Plankton restores SpongeBob back to normal and gives him back to Mr. Krabs, saying that he can't stand him and admitting that cheated in the card game. Mr. Krabs welcomes him back and encourages SpongeBob to return to work. However, SpongeBob still does not want to make a Krabby Patty, but when Mr. Krabs starts becoming angry, he quickly goes back to work.

Quotes

• Plankton: SpongeBob, come in here! Or should I say: Robot, Bob, Sponge, Chef, Pants... (to audience) I put the brain in the robot, you know... You shouldn't have been a spoiled brat! You see I always get what I want, and I want you to make me a Krabby PATTY!!!

Robo-SpongeBob: (beep-beep doodle-eep deep doop) Response: Why don't you ask me later?

Plankton: What? WHAAAAAAT???!!!

Robo-SpongeBob: Get welded.

Plankton: WAIT!!!! I COMMAND YOU! MAKE ME A KRABBY PATTY!!!!!

Robo-SpongeBob: (lying on ground lazily): I don't wanna. (drinks out of a cup of oil while reading a magazine)

Plankton:AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Plankton: I can't take any more. (crying) You've gotta take that yellow nightmare back! It's not worth it! I'm better off stealing a Krabby Patty fair and square.

Mr. Krabs: Uuumm.... (hiding an OUT OF BUSINESS sign) Well, ahhh... A deal's a deal, Plankton. He's your headache now.

Plankton:Oh, please have mercy, Krabs! I'll do anything! I beg of you!

Mr. Krabs: How about you give me fifty bucks, and I'll take him off your hands.

Plankton: IT'S A DEAL!! I cheated anyway.

Mr. Krabs: Now be gone with ya, you puny pest! (Mr. Krabs then throws Plankton back into the Chum Bucket)

Plankton (smiling as he flies though the air): THANK YOOUUU!!! (Plankton flies into the Chum Bucket. A crashing sound is heard.) Ouch.

Trivia

• There is a scene similar to Code Lyoko 19th episode Frontier (Pioneer). When Mr.Krabs and Spongebob happens cloud,their fingers touches,they disappears. Similar to "Aelita is granted access to the Virtual Limbo. There, she touches Jeremie's fingers, thus bringing Jeremy back to factory".
• it is actually illegal to take Spongebob's brain out doing so would end with murdur 1 charges, as taking somebodys brain out is unsurviveable unless aready dead impersonating a doctor, and being sent to jail for life

• The book Plankton reads to SpongeBob is also seen in "Grandma's Kisses".

• This is the second time Mr. Krabs' arms were off. The first was in "Squid's Day Off".
• The title card music is the same as "Employee of the Month".
• The robot chef reappeared in the The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie PC game.
• The Chum Bucket set in Lego SpongeBob SquarePants features the Robot SpongeBob as well.
• Mr. Krabs' singing voice in this episode is similar to Louis Armstrong.
• When Plankton gives Mr. Krabs $50 to take away SpongeBob, it parodies the O. Henry short story, "The Ransom of Red Chief".
• There was a deleted scene where Plankton was taking out SpongeBob's brain before he puts SpongeBob's brain into the robot.
• It is unknown how Plankton got SpongeBob's brain in the robot, because SpongeBob could easily overpower Plankton if he tried to do so. Although this could be because of SpongeBob's lack of common sense.
• When Plankton gives Mr Krabs $50 there were 3 dollar bills. That means he gave him two $20 bills and one $10 bill.

3. Krusty Krab kitchen replica
4. Bathing him
5. Ice cream
6. Pushing him on a rolling seahorse
7. Reading him a book
8. Not hitting him
9. Rubbing his feet

• When SpongeBob was bathing, his sleeves were shown. This could be an error.
• This is the second episode to have computerized picture-shaking effects. They occur whenever Plankton moves the grill. The first time to use these effects was "Neptune's Spatula".
• Mr. Krabs' and Spongebob's duet is almost certainly a parody of the popular show tune, "A House is not a Home."
• The premise of Robot Spongebob is similar to the plot of The Simpsons' Treehouse of Horror II segment featuring Homer's nightmare. Homer, a lazy worker, is kidnapped by Mr. Burns and Smithers, who put his brain into a robot. The robot ends up being lazy and refusing to work, just like Homer.
• fanboy and chum chum also had an episode with some similaritys to this one exept fanby wilingly let oz put his brain in a robot, he was trying to help the class get an amusement park trip. this one as usual fails becuse note fanboy has the same low intelegence in the robot as in his normal body which ends up on a 2 year round trip to mars and fanboys brain in a toaster. a later episode in wich fanboy lost his brain again revealed yo dident know fanboy had a brain to lose
