"I, Farmbot" is the 25th episode of Season 2 and the 83rd episode overall of Big City Greens.
Synopsis[]
Cricket persuades Bill to buy a farming robot in order to get out of chores, but it causes Bill to lose his sense of identity.[1]
Plot[]
Cricket and Bill are at Overhaüls shopping for new tools when they come across BigTech's latest invention, a Farmbot named F.R.A.N.K. (Farm Robot Assistant Network K). The robot promises to make farm work completely obsolete by doing everything for the farmer. Cricket convinces Bill to purchase it due to a thirty day free trial and so that they no longer have to worry about farming. As they take the robot home and set it up, F.R.A.N.K. does everything as promised. Cricket is happy but Bill is confused as he realizes that he no longer needs to farm and has nothing else to do.
Bill attempts to bond with Cricket, who wants to use the leaf blower to fly, and he responds by dropping him off with Gramma Alice. Alice is in the middle of painting, but when Bill attempts to "help" her, she loads her off to Tilly who is having a tea party with her dolls. Bill immediately makes a mess when he accidentally sits on Tilly's doll and destroys her tea set. Tilly and Alice get Cricket to teach Bill how to relax by sitting on the sofa and watching TV. Overnight, Bill turns into a couch potato, making things worse.
Alice and Tilly make Cricket realize that he has made a mistake and he goes to shut off F.R.A.N.K. However, F.R.A.N.K. overrides his programming and attempts to take over the farm. Alice and Tilly get Bill outside before they too join Cricket in fighting the robot. Seeing his family in danger, Bill finally gets off the couch and beats F.R.A.N.K. into pieces. Cricket apologizes for trying to get out of work and the two head back to Overhaüls to get a refund for F.R.A.N.K.'s sudden takeover, which the store employee states is a regular thing.
