History Recap / InsideJobS1E4SexMachina

** J.R. puts money down on Brett-in-Glenn's-body sexually satisfying Mrs. Dolphman (which he does), and at the end of the whole adventure, Myc takes a moment to ask if anyone put money on it ending on AnAesop.

* AnAesop:
** For the Brett/Glenn plot. While one's outward appearance is important at times, one's attitude and personality are what truly matters in a lasting relationship.
** It doesn't matter who or what your romantic partner is; treat them with respect. Reagan more or less treats Robot Bryan like a man-toy. She adjusts his programming when he makes her uncomfortable, and fails to put his needs before hers when he starts to gain sentience. Robot Bryan gives her a WhatTheHellHero about that.
** Robot Reagan spells out to Reagan that she can't be afraid of dates going wrong with a NiceGuy. She has to take the leap herself, with no shortcuts or substitutes like Robot Bryan. That also means improving her social skills. Reagan admits that Robot Reagan is right.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: When Robot Ryan gets tired of Reagan attitude and feeling jealous of her now trying to get in a relationship with the real Ryan he decided to create a robot replica of her but with all her personality settings set on high so that he can dump her for the replica, what he did not take into account was that by making Robot Reagan have zero self-doubt meant that now she is so confident to want to date the real deal rather than settle with a robot copy which ended up causing his death at her hands

** The sprites in the video game that Robot Bryan is playing in Reagan's apartment look like a "Pinkie Demon" and the shotgun from {{VideoGame/Doom}}

* BookEnds: Reagan calls for extraction when one of her first dates ends badly at the beginning of the episode. She does this again when her attempt to finally date Bryan is shot down in the end.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Robot Bryan, after some personality fiddling from Reagan, decides to build his own version of Reagan with maxed-out traits. As the real Reagan warns beforehand, a hyper-confident Reagan can be pretty scary.

* {{Blackmail}}: J. R. announces that Cognito Inc. has purchased a dating app called [=RightSwipe=]. With this, the company can invoke this trope and seize control of the "two remaining branches of government" with archived dick pics from their representatives.

* UsefulNotes/TheBechdelTest: Referenced by the Reagans as they're fighting over a boy. They quickly try to make conversation aside from Bryan, and once they do they resume combat. They did pass it earlier, though, as they talked about real Reagan's dissertation and how Robot Reagan made some improvements on it, Robot Reagan being unstable, and Reagan having weak arms.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Andre attempts to perform a ''Film/FaceOff''-style surgery by switching Glenn and Brett's faces, with the framing and music making it look like it's going to be played straight. However, because their facial structures are completely different from each other, it doesn't work as well as he hoped.
-->'''Andre''': Oh wow. I have ''got'' to stop basing my surgeries on movies.

* HandsomeLech: Glenn becomes this in Brett's body. Even though he gathers a lot of female attention initially, with two women wanting to have sex with him [[AllWomenAreLustful at first sight]], his personality and political views quickly puts them off.

* BrainTransplant: When the ''Film/FaceOff'' surgery fails, Andre resorts to this to allow Glenn and Brett to experience each other's lives.

** After defeating Robot Reagan, the real Reagan confesses her actions to Bryan and hopes to patch things up. Unfortunately, Bryan declines as he is justifiably creeped out at the idea that she made a robot version of him earlier.

** Also downplayed. When Robo Reagan finally meets Bryan, she starts groping and flirting with him and then plants a kiss on his lips. He is visibly discomforted and runs off to the bathroom.

* HandsomeLech: Glenn becomes this in Brett's body. Even though he gathers a lot of female attention initially, with two women wanting to have sex with [[AllWomenAreLustful at first sight]], his personality and political views quickly puts them off.

* DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale: Downplayed. Glenn's ex-wife throws herself on him (while Brett still possesses his body) after being attracted to his "new attitude and voice", in the middle of a therapy session. Brett clearly doesn't want it as he tries to say he's not actually Glenn. The therapist, meanwhile, just sits and watches, seeing this as "progress" to fix their relationship.

* TakeThat: At some point Robot Brian becomes a crypto-bro, spending his free time explaining bitcoin to people online. While Reagan thinks it's just digital money and thus doesn't really need explaining, while Robot Brian calls it a "lifestyle choice."

* TakeThat: At some point Brian-Bot becomes a crypto-Bro, spending his free time explaining bitcoin to people online. While Reagan thinks it's just digital money and thus doesn't really need explaining, while Brian-Bot calls it a "lifestyle choice."
