Recap / We Bare Bears S 4 E 7 I Butler

Go To

The Bears use a robot bear to help around the house. But things get tricky when they lose control of the robot.


Tropes:

  • 20% More Awesome: When the robot scans Grizz for filth, it reads at 105%.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The robot is excellent at cleaning, but it just doesn't know when to stop. It gets to the point where it launches a cleaning missile that will destroy the Bears' cave.
  • Bait-and-Switch Comment: Grizzly suggests they take a break on cleaning the cave... and work on the shed instead.
  • Call-Back: Ice Bear's robot clone from "Panda's Sneeze" returns, this time taking center stage.
  • Continuity Nod: When it shows Grizzly's messy room, you can see one of the flyers for Mark the chicken from "Grizz Helps", along with the broom that served as one of Grizzly's "actors" from "Crowbar Jones".
  • Fluffy Dry Cat: Panda ends up all fluffy after getting washed and blow-dried by Butler Bear. The same thing happens to some unfortunate squirrels when Butler Bear puts them through its laundry machine.
  • Hoist by His Own Petard: When Butler Bear launches a giant "cleaning missile" to "clean" the Bears' cave, the Bears dump mud all over him, tricking him into redirecting the missle onto himself.
  • Long List: Grizz thinks he's almost done with Ice Bear's chore list. Then it unfolds to three times its length.
  • Naked People Are Funny: Butler Bear starts going too far when he strips the dirty clothes off a mailman, leaving the poor guy in his envelope-print boxer shorts.
  • Running Gag: The Bears keep finding squirrels while they clean.
  • Shout-Out: The song that plays during the cleaning montage is a parody of "Yakety-Yak" by The Coasters.
  • Tempting Fate: After the bears discover Ice Bear's "robot clone" project, he mentions that it was "programmed to love and destroy", prompting Panda to quip that it wasn't programmed to destroy the filth in the cave. When they try to make the robot clean up the house, it ends up going berserk.
  • Trash of the Titans: The bears have let the cave get filled with garbage.
