History Recap / FuturamaS1E11MarsUniversity

* ComputerVirusesAreComputerIllnesses: Bender says that he should take the members of Robot House, to Tijuana so that [[NerdsAreVirgins Fatbot can lose his virginity]]. In the [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue epilogue]], after Robot House wont the fraternity competition, it's stated that to celebrate their victory, Bender took the Robot House members to Tijuana, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything where Fatbot got infected by a computer virus and had to be rebooted]].

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Guenter's parents after [[JerkassBall Fry]] sets them free. They're normal monkeys, and behave as normal (agitated) monkeys do.
* BigEater: One of the members of Robot House, Fat Bot, eats whenever he gets nervous. Unfortunately, among the things he eats are Dean Vernon's model ship and portrait.

* BreakTheHaughty: Poor Guenter. He starts out as an InsufferableGenius who takes every chance to insult, one-up, and antagonize Fry. However, after seeing his parents acting like regular monkeys and reeking havoc, he enters a depression over how he can't really fit in and knows he is still just a monkey. This eventually causes him to have a mental breakdown, discarding his hat to return to his normal monkey self and run away to the jungle.

* DancePartyEnding: The episode ends with a party at Robot House, with everyone dancing. There is an epilogue shown in the style of frat movies with captions explaining that Fry successfully dropped out of college and returned to Planet Express, Guenter went to business school to get his MBA and became The FOX Network's latest CEO, Fat-Bot caught a virus in Tijuana and had to be rebooted, Leela went on a date with Dean Vernon (and Vernon never called her again) and Bender stole everything of value from Robot House and ran off.

* EscapedAnimalRampage: Guenter's parents ruin the parents reception party.

* InsufferableGenius: Guenter -- til the hat works at half power, giving him moderate intelligence.

'''Fat-bot:''' I heard that in one single night you drank a whole keg, streaked across campus and crammed 58 humans into a phone booth.\\

* ShortCutsMakeLongDelays: Subverted. It looks like Bender's idea to take a shortcut via the waterfall is a failure but then their boat emerges on the finish line before the competition.

-->'''Gunter:''' But the Professor has been like a father to me!\\

* TemptingFate: After putting Robot House on dodecatuple probation, Dean Vernon wants to get back to his model ship, which he calls the only thing that's kept him sane for years. He then sees Fat Bot took the model off the desk and is starting to eat it.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: Guenter's parents after [[{{Jerkass}} Fry]] sets them free. They're normal monkeys, and behave as normal (agitated) monkeys do.

* DeanBitterman: Dean Vernon. ''[[CatchPhrase Rooobooot Hooooooouse!]]''

* BigEater: One of the frats in Robot House, Fat Bot, eats whenever he gets nervous. Unfortunately, among the things he eats are Dean Vernon's model ship and portrait.

-->'''Leela''': I didn't know monkeys could cry.\\
'''Guenter''': They can't. It's all the hat. ''(continues sobbing)''

''(splat noises are heard off-camera)'' \\

-->'''Guenter:''' When I had [super intelligence] there was too much pressure to use it. All I want out of life is to be a monkey of moderate intelligence who wears a suit. That's why I've decided to transfer to Business School. \\

* IAteWhat: When Leela mention that Gunther's father was in the punch bowl, Fry, who was drinking punch, does a SpitTake.

-->'''Dean Vernon''': You robots are a disgrace to this university. Whenever a fire alarm is pulled, it's Robot House. Whenever the campus liquor store is looted, Robot House! Whenever a human corpse is desecrated-!
-->'''Bender''': Now ICanExplain ''THAT!''

--->'''Oily''': Bender from Bending State ''Bender''? Wow, you're a legend around here!\\
'''Fat-bot''': I heard that in one single night you drank a whole keg, streaked across campus and crammed 58 humans into a phone booth.\\
'''Bender''': ''[modest]'' Yeah, well, a lot of 'em were children.

* TakeAThirdOption: Gunther realizes he is depressed having SuperIntelligence because there is too much pressure to use it, but finds that he isn't happy as a normal monkey either because of how dumb he is, like trying to wear a hat on his butt. After surviving a potentially fatal fall, his hat is damaged so it only works at half power, but Gunther decides he likes it that way, and wants to be a sapient monkey of moderate intelligence and get a business degree.

-->'''Leela:''' What we should do is... (Leela, Fry, and Farnsworth all lean in while she covers her mouth and whispers.) \\
'''Farnsworth:''' (puts his hand to his ear) What? \\
'''Leela:''' I said, we'll go to the jungle and let Guenter decide once and for all. \\

-->'''Fry:''' Is he genetically engineered? \\
'''Professor:''' Oh please, that's preposterous science-fiction mumbo-jumbo. Guenther's intelligence actually lies in his [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum electronium hat, which harnesses the power of sunspots to produce cognitive radiation]].

-->'''Fry''': My roommate's a monkey?\\
'''Guenter''': [[SarcasmMode Brilliant deduction. You are a credit to your species.]]

* BreakTheHaughty: Poor Guenter.

* ThePeepingTom: One of the shenanigans that Bender takes the Robot House crew on is using a ladder to peep on a girl's computer. They very much enjoy the computer being subjected to PercussiveMaintenance and getting opened up, but Bender's expendable eyes accidentally push against the glass and cause the ladder to fall over.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: While there's no college in or near Coney Island, let alone a chintzy ride resembling one, it ''is'' close to Kingsborough Community College, an actual New York State university.

--->'''Gunter:''' But the Professor has been like a father to me!\\

* IGaveMyWord: At the boat race, Dean Vernon makes a suspiciously specific statement that if the winning house is on any sort of multiple secret probation (say, Robot House and their dodecatuple probation), he will lift it and force himself to host a parade in their honor. When Robot House wins to his surprise, sure enough he's next seen leading their parade...with a pretty sore look on his face.

'''Leela:''' But he's not your father. That monkey in the punch bowl is.\\
