One boring day in Mr. Mufflin's class, Mr. Mufflin announces to the class that the whole school will be taking a test to get more supplies, which bores them. But they get excited when the class will also go for a state-of-the-art dinosaur bouncy house! Chum Chum likes it, too. Mr. Mufflin says to win the bouncy house, everyone has to pass the test. Counting Fanboy, who made a wacky face the whole time. Later, Fanboy tried to study, but has stalled. So, they went to Oz for help. They soon realize that Oz has a robot, Mr. Roboto, who does all the work for him. Fanboy then decides he wants to be a robot so he won't study at all. As a result, Oz performs a brain transplant with Fanboy's brain into the robot, to Lenny's disgust. The brain transplant works, and Fanboy becomes Fanbot! He demands everyone pass the test, which causes Oz to tell them they should've put the robot's brain into Fanboy's body. But Fanbot denies, as if that happened, he wouldn't have the body of a robot.

They head off to school to the cafeteria where everyone is studying. Fanbot takes Yo's textbook and shreds it in a slot in his chest, remembering everything. Everyone is impressed--all but Kyle. Kyle asks a math question to Fanbot, causing him to shut down for a moment. Kyle was about to return to his studies when everyone agrees with Fanbot and gives him their textbooks, and they all head for the test. Chum Chum desperately wants the bouncy house, to Kyle's disturbance. Later, at the test, Fanbot uses his multi-arm trick to do the tests! He was doing everyone's tests (excluding Kyle). After the test, everyone was waiting while Fanbot break-dances. But the fun was interrupted when Mr. Mufflin says that EVERYONE FAILED! Everyone got a 0% (excluding Kyle, who got 12%). Yo says it's impossible, as they had a robot's brain to help. This leads Chum Chum to tout out that it was Fanboy's brain they used, to their shock and anger. After explaining the robot's brain was at Oz Comix, Kyle berates them for this act by asking why they didn't just put the robot's brain in Fanboy. Fanbot and Chum-Chum then realize they should have done that like Oz previously suggested, but they got caught up with the robot body.

Suddenly, the crowd forms an angry mob with Yo and Duke trying to charge at Fanbot but Mr. Mufflin stops them only because he wants the first hit as the students join in and tear Fanbot apart, leaving only the head. Chum Chum runs off with the head back to Oz Comix, where Oz was waiting for him. Oz takes the brain out of Fanbot's head and throws it onto Kyle, causing the angry mob to run after him. Chum Chum asks Oz if he could put Fanboy's brain back in his own body, but Oz says he put the robot's brain in Fanboy's body, causing him to make a rocket ship to Mars.

“ Man, I wish I were a robot, then I wouldn’t have to study at all. I’d know everything! ”

— Fanboy

I, Fanbot is episode 5a of Fanboy & Chum Chum season 1.

A big test is coming up and if everyone passes, they win a bouncy house for the school. To become smarter, Fanboy switches brains with Oz's robot, but it has disastrous results.

Plot[]

One boring day in Mr. Mufflin's class, Mr. Mufflin announces to the class that the whole school will be taking a test to get more supplies, which bores them. But they get excited when the class will also go for a state-of-the-art dinosaur bouncy house! Chum Chum likes it, too. Mr. Mufflin says to win the bouncy house, everyone has to pass the test. Counting Fanboy, who made a wacky face the whole time. Later, Fanboy tried to study, but has stalled. So, they went to Oz for help. They soon realize that Oz has a robot, Mr. Roboto, who does all the work for him. Fanboy then decides he wants to be a robot so he won't study at all. As a result, Oz performs a brain transplant with Fanboy's brain into the robot, to Lenny's disgust. The brain transplant works, and Fanboy becomes Fanbot! He demands everyone pass the test, which causes Oz to tell them they should've put the robot's brain into Fanboy's body. But Fanbot denies, as if that happened, he wouldn't have the body of a robot.

They head off to school to the cafeteria where everyone is studying. Fanbot takes Yo's textbook and shreds it in a slot in his chest, remembering everything. Everyone is impressed--all but Kyle. Kyle asks a math question to Fanbot, causing him to shut down for a moment. Kyle was about to return to his studies when everyone agrees with Fanbot and gives him their textbooks, and they all head for the test. Chum Chum desperately wants the bouncy house, to Kyle's disturbance. Later, at the test, Fanbot uses his multi-arm trick to do the tests! He was doing everyone's tests (excluding Kyle's). After the test, everyone was waiting while Fanbot break-dances. But the fun was interrupted when Mr. Mufflin says that EVERYONE FAILED! Everyone got a 0% (excluding Kyle, who got 12%). Yo says it's impossible, as they had a robot's brain to help. This leads Chum Chum to tout out that it was Fanboy's brain they used, to their shock and anger. After explaining the robot's brain was at Oz Comix, Kyle berates them for this act by asking why they didn't just put the robot's brain in Fanboy. Fanbot and Chum-Chum then realize they should have done that like Oz previously suggested, but they got caught up with the robot body.

Suddenly, the crowd forms an angry mob with Yo and Duke trying to charge at Fanbot but Mr. Mufflin stops them only because he wants the first hit as the students join in and tear Fanbot apart, leaving only the head. Chum Chum runs off with the head back to Oz Comix, where Oz was waiting for him. Oz takes the brain out of Fanbot's head and throws it onto Kyle, causing the angry mob to run after him. Chum Chum asks Oz if he could put Fanboy's brain back in his own body, but Oz says he put the robot's brain in Fanboy's body, causing him to make a rocket ship to Mars. Until then, Chum Chum puts Fanboy's brain in a toaster. Later, Chum Chum sits down on the couch with "Fan-toast" in front of the TV, watching cartoons, as the episode ends.

Continuity[]

Goofs[]

  • On TV.com, before the episode aired, the episode was misspelled as "I, Fanboy".
  • If the class were to pass the test and Kyle got a 12%, the class would've failed anyway.
  • Fanbot peed in his pants when he was scared of getting attacked by the other, but he did not drink anything earlier in the episode. However, Fanboy could've drank something between scenes before he turned into Fanbot.
  • When Hank says everyone failed, the order of kids shown from the front is: Chuggy, Duke, Yo, Kyle, Lupe, but after Hank said "You all got zeroes!" the order is Yo, Kyle, Chuggy. Therefore, after Yo says "But that's impossible!" the background behind her changes to the lockers out of nowhere.
  • Chum Chum threw Fanbot's head at the ground saying "How you like me now?", however he threw it so hard it should have broke, however, the head may have been made of reinforced steel.
  • When Chum Chum was holding Fanbot's head, it seemed a lot smaller than usual.
  • In the first shot of the classroom, Kyle is seen, but after the shot of Fanboy hearing about Hank's news, Kyle disappears and doesn't reappear again until after Yo says "Really?".
  • Everyone should've known that he was still dimwitted before the test since he could not answer what 2 + 2 equals.
  • When we see Fanboy knowing Hank has exciting news, he appears to have turned his desk to the other side.
  • Fanboy has a hard time studying in this episode, but in "Crib Notes", he didn't know what studying was.
  • When Oz says "I’ll be right with you!" Fanboy's tongue is gone.
  • Fanboy's mouth positions change several times when he is under the sedative while Oz works on him; sometimes it's closed, sometimes it's open, and sometimes it's ajar.
  • When Chum Chum cries out for Fanbot's safety, he screams "Fanbot!" but watch his mouth; it appears he's saying "Fanboy".
  • Hank let Fanbot take the test for almost everyone, in real life no teachers would do that.
  • Oz threw the robot head out real far, but when it fell down on Kyle's head it seemed to slingshot back to the store. Also, Fanbot's head wouldn't have fitted over Kyle's.
  • Hank attacked Fanbot, in real life it is illegal.
  • How did Chum Chum fit the brain into a toaster?
  • When Oz is working on removing Fanboy's brain, Fanboy's eyes are closed, but when Oz says "I'm with another customer!" Fanboy's eyes are open.
  • Objects seem to take the color of Fanboy's costume whenever someone puts Fanboy's brain into the object, in real life, there's no way that could happen without painting the object.
