Finn and Jake disguise themselves as MOs to infiltrate the MO factory and save BMO.
Tropes
- Absurdly Dedicated Worker: All the surface MOs are continuing to fulfil their functions despite the factory being long derelict.
- Brown Note: BMO's software contains a .sys file titled "controls.brownnote.sys."
- Comic-Book Fantasy Casting: It was acknowledged in interviews that Moe is based on Jamie Farr.
- Continuity Nod: CMO from "Puhoy" reappears as Moe's assistant.
- Does This Remind You of Anything?:
- The "head rush" BMO gets from deleting random files from his memory looks like a metaphor for recreational drug use.
- When BMO accesses an SMO's files, it looks as if something sexual is going on.
- Donut Mess with a Cop: The SMOs are seen "eating" donuts in their rec room.
- Freeze-Frame Bonus: Some of the filenames on BMO's screen at the beginning.
- Idiot Ball: The whole mess could've been avoided if BMO didn't delete his core files for no reason.
- Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: Lampshaded by one of the MO guards on how easily their shots could be dodged.
- It Amused Me: Why BMO deleted his important files in the first place.
- Last of His Kind: Subverted, it turns out BMO has a lot of fellow MO relations.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: Moe is BMO's creator, and therefore father.
- Non-Standard Character Design: Moe is the first genuinely human character with a nose, which contrasts with The Noseless inhabitants of Ooo.
- No One Could Survive That!: Lampshaded; the MO guard leader believes this, while one of the guards is more aware about the possibility of Finn and Jake surviving.
- Poor Communication Kills: All the violence could have been averted if BMO had introduced himself from the start.
- Porky Pig Pronunciation: Due to his hard-drive lacking core data, BMO talks like he's glitching which he actually is.
- Ray Gun: The MO guards use these, but their aim is so bad that one of them is actually aware that Finn and Jake might've survived the shots.
- Really 700 Years Old: Moe has lived since before the nuclear holocaust, though it's through cybernetic surgery.
- The episode also implies that BMO has existed since before the War.
- Rollercoaster Mine: The tram chase is done in this style.
- Shout-Out:
- Inside BMO appear to be a model heart, a diploma and a medal, which are the things the Wizard gives the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Lion at the end of The Wizard of Oz.
- BMO's comment about memories vanishing like "tears in the oven" is a misquotation from Blade Runner.
- Stealth Pun: When Finn tucks his arm in his shirt and wears BMO as a face to pass as another MO-robot, BMO tells him "Finn, you da man". However, he glitches at "You da m—-", which makes it sound an awful lot like he's saying "Finn, you dumb" three times in a row.
- Title Drop: Moe built BMO "to be more".
- Transhuman: The creator of the MOs is this. When asked by Finn if he is human, he replies that his skin is human and given how there are MOs on him acting as life-support, he is most likely a cyborg.
- Underground City: Moe and most of his creations are living happily in a huge bunker under the derelict factory.
