!!Sunday Drive
The Propulsions need to download a new version of their saucer's dashboard operating system. Their test drive to Mars is complicated by the new dashboard, and they end up going to Venus and Saturn before finally landing on Mars...or so they think.
----
* BluntYes: Even the usually cheerful Jet gets irritated with the tech support robot, and after it asks the family if the saucer is there, Jet yells "YES!!! We're calling from it!"
* BottleEpisode: Most of Part 1 takes place inside the saucer.
* CallBack: Celery is excited to go back to Valles Marineris and calls it "[[Recap/ReadyJetGoS1E13TheGrandestCanyonAVisitToThePlanetarium the grandest canyon]]."
* CartoonJuggling: The shower variant is used when Carrot and Jet juggle while they wait for the new software to finish downloading.
* DiscoSucks: Celery's reaction to the disco hold music:
-->'''Celery''': This machine-made music is the opposite of enjoyable.
* FacePalm: The Propulsions all do epic facepalms when the tech support robot asks them if the saucer is there, ''right after asking them if they are inside the saucer''.
* FunnyPhoneMisunderstanding:
-->'''Celery''': Please download the new dashboard software.
-->'''Tech Support''': Did you say 'please clownfold the blue surfboard dishware?'
* GoodLuckGesture: Sunspot crosses his fingers ''and'' ears in hopes that the saucer will go to Mars.
* GratuitousDiscoSequence: There's a button on the new dashboard that enables disco lights, of all things, leading to a moment where the Propulsions disco dance.
* GratuitousFrench: Celery briefly practices French and says "Allons à Mars", which is French for "Let's go to Mars".
* InherentlyFunnyWords: The Propulsions think that 'desert' is a funny Earth word. Jet thinks the same of 'lizard' and 'cactus'.
* MultiPartEpisode: The first two-part episode in production order, although the premise is more mundane than the other two-parters.
* NotWhereTheyThought: Jet, Celery, and Carrot go to a desert and mistake it for Mars. They get suspicious once they see a lizard and plants in the area, and Jet realizes it's Earth when he notices that the air is still breathable.
* RhymesOnADime:
-->So long Earth / With your deserts and cars / The Propulsion family / Is off to Mars!
* SecurityCling: Jet jumps into Sunspot's arms at one point.
* ScaryShadowFakeout: Jet sees a menacing shadow and thinks that it's an organic life form on Mars. It was actually just Sunspot making shadow puppets.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Celery groans when the weekend tech support robot is called to assist the Propulsions. And her misgivings are correct, because the robot keeps asking stupid questions and mishearing things.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The official episode description spoiled that that the Propulsions weren't on Mars, but an Earth desert.
* WiperStart: After the new software gets downloaded, Celery pushes the button meant to activate interstellar overdrive, but it ends up starting the windshield wipers instead.
* WrittenInAbsence: The Propulsions try to contact Face 9000 for help with the saucer dashboard software, they don't get an answer. Carrot explains that Face is at a "Face family reunion." Luckily, he returns at the end of the episode.
