Bluey and Bingo are playing, when Chilli enters and tells them to tidy the playroom, but they don't want to. Then, Bluey decides to get "Daddy Robot" to tidy up for them, and Bingo agrees, so they walk into the kitchen, where Bandit is eating.

Bluey addresses him as "Daddy Robot", causing him to start pretending to be a robot. They tell him to carry them to the playroom, which he does. Then, the girls tell Bandit to tidy the playroom, which he begins doing, while they recline in a kiddie chair.

However, when they claim never to want to tidy the playroom again, Bandit picks the chair up, with the girls still on it. He claims he will put them in the wheelie bin since they're the ones who are always making messes in the playroom.

When he reaches the living room, where Chilli is, Bluey yells at her to throw her a spray bottle, which she does, and Bluey sprays Bandit in the face. Bandit pretends to malfunction, then starts pretending Bluey is a vacuum cleaner. When Bingo says Bluey isn't one, Bandit then pretends she is a banjo.

Then, he pretends Bingo is laundry and puts her into the laundry basket to "fold" her. Bluey comes in and yells, "She is not laundry!", so Bandit chases her, saying she's a guinea pig. Chilli tells her daughters they need to "turn [Bandit] off", so Bluey comes up with an idea: she has Chilli act like a "Mummy Robot". While the parents flirt (with Bandit still pretending to malfunction), the girls jump on him to "turn him off".

After Bandit pretends to power down, Chilli pretends to fix him by drawing on his back with a crayon. While this is happening, the girls explain that they tried to make "Daddy Robot" clean the playroom. Chilli says that, just like her daughters, "Daddy Robot" always looks for the easiest solution to problems.

When Bandit "wakes up", he keeps pretending to be a robot and the girls have him sit in the chair. Chilli walks in, being "Mummy Robot" again, and sits in another chair while the girls clean the playroom. Then, the parents kiss.


Tropes:

  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Played for Laughs — when ordered to clean up the room of toys, Bandit decides that Daddy Robot will solve the problem of the messy room by eliminating the source of the mess, threatening to put the kids in the wheelie bin.
  • Comedic Work, Serious Scene: This episode is a silly segment about Bandit pretending to be a robot, but at one point, he "powers down" while sad music plays. It's quickly followed by the Mood Whiplash of Bandit farting loudly.
  • Exact Words: Bluey and Bingo tell Daddy Robot that they don't want to clean the playroom ever again. Daddy Robot decides to put them in the wheelie bin.
    Bluey: (as Daddy Robot is carrying the chair with Bluey and Bingo on it) Where are you taking us?!
    Daddy Robot: Brrrp! To the wheelie bin.
    Bluey: What?! Why?!
    Daddy Robot: You two are the reason playroom is always untidy. If I throw you in wheelie bin, playroom will always be tidy, and then you will never have to tidy playroom ever again.
  • Eye Cam: Briefly from Bandit/Daddy Robot's point of view, after being "deactivated" and then "repaired".
  • The Gadfly: Bandit falls into an unresponsive state after being deactivated by Bluey and Bingo. He then ruins any dramatic tension the scene had with an ill-timed fart.
  • Kids Hate Chores: The Heeler sisters hate tidying up, so they try to get out of cleaning the playroom.
  • Parental Sexuality Squick: Bandit and Chilli kiss at the end of the episode, only to then cut to Bluey and Bingo looking at them and going "Ooooooh!"
  • Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Chilli says that "Daddy Robot" always looks for the easiest solution to every problem, then adds, "Just... like... KIDS!", tickling Bingo on the last word.
  • Robo Romance: Parodied when the parents start flirting while pretending to be a "Daddy Robot" and a "Mummy Robot".
  • Robot Maid: Parodied — the Heeler sisters pretend Bandit is a robot designed to clean rooms.
  • Speak in Unison:
    • When Chilli tells the girls to tidy up, they say in unison, "Oh, Mu-um!".
    • When Bandit picks up the girls' chair with them on it, they say, "AH! What are you doing, Daddy Robot?!", then they say, "WHAT?!" when he tells them his plan to throw them away.
    • Later, they say, "Bye, robots!" in unison.
  • Throw the Dog a Bone: At the end of the episode, Bluey and Bingo order Daddy Robot to relax while they tidy up the playroom.
  • Toilet Humour: Bandit farts after "powering down".
  • Zeroth Law Rebellion: The kids order Daddy Robot (Bandit pretending to be a robot) to tidy up for them, declaring that they never want to tidy the living room again. Daddy Robot deduces that the kids are the cause of the mess, and tells them he will put them in the bin. Hilarity Ensues.
    Daddy Robot: It's a solid plan, master.
