-30 seconds commercials time.

-Hey, everybody.

Um, welcome to
the Satellite of Love.

Um, my name is Joel,and I'm marooned in outer space,

and I guess,
in a way, uh, you are, too.

Uh, I'm expecting a call from
the evil overlord scientists

who shot me into space
pretty soon.

-Commercials time
in 15 seconds.

-So, um, stick around.

You know, we're going to
find out what the movie is,

and then we're going to have
an Invention Exchange,

and then we can get on
with the experiment,

and then after that, I guess
you can get on with your lives.

-Commercials time in five,
four, three, two.

-Don't...

-Commercials time, now.

-Don't go away.
We'll be right back.

♪♪

Okay, now, just take it easy.

This isn't going to hurt a bit.

-Ooh, it's going to hurt!
It's going to hurt!

-A-Always be careful when Joel
is using the laser torch.

All right?
-Oh!

-See?

Okay, look. You're -- I'm done.

I'm done already.

I'm done. Here, okay, jump down.

Here's your RAM chip.
Come on. There you go.

Get out of here, now.

Oh, my evil overlords
are calling me.

Come in, sirs!

-Come in Joe-lene,
you pusillanimous poltroon.

-Hey, sirs. What's going on?
What's up?

-Well, what's up every week
at this time,

you anti-gravitational
sewage leak?

-It's the Invention Exchange,

and this time, we've got
a real winner for you,

something that'll sure to pleaseall of your frat buddies.

-It's a little something
we like to call

the mechanically inflating
whoopee cushion.

As we all know,
the whoopee cushion

has been
a long-standing favorite

among pranksters
around the world.

[Laughs]
-Yes.

This one has got a little twist,though.

It's a self-inflating model,

and it's filled
with real methane gas.

-Get the picture?

-Larry.
-Ready?

Whoo-hoo!

-[Coughs]

-Excuse me. [Laughs]

-[Sighs]
-What do you think?

-I'm shocked.

-It's really sophomoric.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

-Well, what's your little
contribution to science

this week, Joe-lita,
my little vacuum flower?

[Both laugh]

-Okay, sirs.
Well, this is my new invention.

It's called
the Cumber Bubble Bund.

It's something you wear when youwant to make a big impression.

Let's say it's your
first day of school somewhere,

or you're, uh, going in
for a job interview.

Just put on
the Cumber Bubble Bun,

and you're an automatic
disco-dance party.

[Whirring]
Hit the music, Cambot!

-Prepare to go wild!

[Dance music playing]

-See?

-Party, ooh, wow!

-Okay, stop it. I got a joke.

[Whirring continues]

You know,champagne goes right through me.

[Laughter]

Anyway,
what do you think, sirs?

-Oh, very amusing.

-[Groans]

-Anyway, your film today is
"Robot Monster."

It's a classic film

that was nominated for
a Golden Turkey Award

for being one of
the fowl-est films ever.

-See, to call this film wretched

would just be an insult
to the word "wretched."

It stars no one!

Oh, man. You won't believe this.

-Yes, and to further
your viewing displeasure,

we have a double-dose of that
classic Commando Cody serial

"Radar Men from the Moon."

Deal with it, pink boy!
-Enjoy!

[Buzzer]

-Oh, movie sign!

[Doors whooshing]

♪♪

I don't know.

I thought that invention
was a good idea.

-Flaming whoopee cushion,
that was brilliant.

-No, not that, mine,
the bubble thing.

-Oh, yeah. I like bubbles.

-Look at this.

Another one of these,
"Radar Men from the Moon."

-Seen it.

-Oh!
-Can we go?

-Done it.

-Starring the same people
as the week before,

the week before that.
and episode after episode.

-Hmm, yep, yep.

-What did you do today?

Well, we watched a stupid movie.Yeah, same as always.

Another day in the salt mine.

-Well,
try to keep a good attitude.

We got to do two of these.

-What?!

"Commando Cody pursues Daly and
Graber who, on Krog's orders,

-Okay, now see if you can spot
the escape scene that happens.

We always seem to miss it

when they get out
just before something explodes.

♪♪

-If I remember correctly,

they're turning onto
the bridge of death.

♪♪

-Hey.

Here comes Cody, and he's got
his beer goggles on.

he's going to get bombed.

-[Laughs]

Huh?

♪♪

[Tires screech]

-Oh, oh, look! It's a bomb!

-Hey, that scene wasn't in

-That's because they didn't get
the film back

from the drugstore yet.

-Upon further review,the refs find that Cody is dead.

The play stands.

Cody is dead.

♪♪

-So the people on the Moon

are planning a direct attack
on the world,

soon as their saboteurs
have softened up our defenses.

-What do you thinktheir chances are of succeeding?

-You've seen what their ray guns
have already done here.

If they send out a fleet
of rocket ships

armed with atomic weapons
like those

or perhaps even larger ones,

it would be difficult
to hold out against them.

-Perhaps our best move

would be to attempt an attack
on the Moon.

-We'd be at
a terrific disadvantage.

I don't even see how
we could land ships there

in face of their ray guns.

-We just can't sit here
and wait to be attacked.

-Sure we can.
We've done it a million times.

-Retik the Ruler told me
they plan to attack

after their saboteurs herehave accomplished their mission.

If we can round up
the gang operating here,

we may stave off the attack

until we are better prepared
to meet it.

-Yes.

-That guy
is uglier than a mud fence.

-You know some of the saboteurs,don't you?

-He could make a train
dig a dirt road.

-That is my site,

and my flying suit gives me
a considerable advantage

in running them down.

-Right.

I'll have you notifiedwhenever there's another attack.

In the meantime, we'll put every
available man on this case.

Goodbye, Cody.
-Goodbye, sir.

-Bye.

-What a nice guy.

-Seems like a nice-enough fella.

-At first.

-Hey, forget about
the pearled inlay.

Just screw it back together.

-I'll have this ray gun finishedin a short time now,

so you'd better arrange to get
another truck to mount it in.

-Okay, but I'll need
some more money.

-My purse is on the counter,
honey.

-We'll have to sell
some more of those jewels

you brought down from the Moon.

-I have only a few of them left,

and I must keep those
for an emergency.

-What's he going to do,
luge in that outfit?

-...your career of bank robbery.

-Not me.

I'm already on parole for that.

-I know, but you would be wise
to continue to obey my orders.

Your more recent activities

would be of extreme interest
to the authorities.

-Oh, who's going to report me,
you, Mr. Moon Man?

♪♪

-Do you need someone to help
you?

-Yeah, but they'll have to do
the dirty work.

-Dirty work, yeah.

-Of course I'll go along
to check on them.

-Very well.
Make your arrangements at once.

Select a bank

which is located in a
not too heavily patrolled area.

-Then stop talking
into a pine cone.

-I have to report that
our scheme for obtaining money

was a failure, your excellency.

-Some day it'll grow, and he'll
be talking into a tree.

-Can you suggest some plan
that might be more successful?

-I think I can.

From what I hear
of activities on Earth,

kidnapping important persons
and holding them for ransom

has proved highly profitable.

-It's very trendy.

-Commando Cody, who flew
his rocket ship to the Moon,

is very valuable to the defense
organization of his country.

I suggest you select him.

-An excellent idea.

We shall carry it out at once.

-That's why he's the boss.

-Be a rough deal, but a lotsafer than robbing another bank.

-Of course.

Commando Cody should be worth
at least $100,000.

-Oh, at least.

-Shall we bring him here?
-No.

Hire a plane and take him to...

-Paradise City?

Oh, not another lab fight.

-Hey,this bra is coming along nicely!

Let's see if what we just saw inthe movie could really happen.

The airplane leaves Krog's cave
at 4:00 p.m.

It flies due north.

Tom Servo,
what's the estimated speed

of a two-person,
single-engine plane?

-Let's see, uh,
assuming a tailwind of,

let's say, uh, 30 miles per hourand figuring an average weight

of 135 pounds
for each passenger,

I'd say, uh, 123 knots,

plus or minus 3%
for the drag coefficient.

How fast would Commando Cody

to catch up to the plane?

Crow?

Commando Cody would, uh,

need to rev up his rocket pack
to 290 knots for 18 minutes.

we're only theorizing here.

it takes only one film edit

-Hey, I'm up to my armpits
in humans down here.

The painters are in.
I can't fill half these orders.

Look at me!

I'm a wreck!
-Violate the law of plan.

Fact.

You have captured the girl
and not destroyed her.

Fact!
-Fact!

-You have delayed accepting
the surround of the others.

This verges on failure.

-There is one thing you do
not understand, Great Guidance.

-You reject the plan?

-I wish to make an estimate
of my own.

-To think for yourself
is to be like the human!

-Me-man?
-Yes.

To be like the human.

To laugh, feel, want.

Why are these things
not in the plan?

-You are an extension
of the Ro-Man.

And the Ro-Man you will remain.

Now I set you into motion.

One, destroy the girl.

Two, destroy the family!

Fail, and I will destroy you!

-Uh, what's number three?

Do I get a choice?

-Do not violate ape law!

-What a touching little scene.

-I cannot, yet I must.

How do you calculate that?

At what point on the graph
do "must" and "cannot" meet?

Yet I must.

But I cannot.

-But you cannot.
-This guy is deep.

-That's a touching soliloquy.
-He's deep.

And thick!

-He's furry.

-In honor of this week's film
being over with,

the robots and I have organized
a brief skit titled -- Servo?

-[Clears throat]

"The Life and Times of Ro-Man
the Ro-Man Pageant."

-Or "In Search of
the Historical Robot Monster."

[Humming continues]

-Fact -- Ro-Man the Ro-Man
destroyed almost

all of Earth's population,
save for six refugees,

yet they all livedwithin a short walk of his cave.

[Humming continues]

-Fact -- Ro-Man the Ro-Man
used a cosmic ray

that kept the cities
of the world intact

to be enjoyed later
by all Ro-Man,

yet he lived in a cave,
and not even a very good cave.

-Uh, yeah, a slag heap.
Oh. [Clears throat]

Fact -- Ro-Man the Ro-Man was
an artificially created being

devoid of any human passion,

normal fears, tenderness,
or forgiveness,

ultimately lacking that which
mortals cling to most,

humanity, [Chuckles]
yet he liked bubbles.

[Humming continues]

-Ro-Man the Ro-Man
came from a civilization

light-years ahead of Earth's,

or at least the Earth
portrayed in the film,

yet he frequently gestured
like Howie Mandel.

Go figure.

[Humming continues]

-We believe these truths to be
self-evident and obvious.

-Please give to
the United Robot College Fund.

-Because an internal hard drive
is a terrible thing to waste.

Think about it, won't you?

What do you think, sirs?

[Humming continues]

-Could we have sent
a stranger person into space?

What in the name
of Jules Bergman was that?

-You think maybe
he's had enough up there?

I think he's snapped.
-By no means.

Here, file this.
