## Synopsis

Lamar is at his house when he is welcomed by a robot that arrives at his door, shocked in that it came in a large box. Lamar cuts the box open and pulls it out, but becomes annoyed in that there are a cluster of parts that must be built, so Lamar grabs the robot's instruction booklet to follow the instruction process on how to build the robot. It takes him approximately 60 minutes to build the robot and turn him on. After booting up, the bot just stares at Lamar, which is in the process of collecting information to become intelligent, but is unable to track it all without its processor, so Lamar puts it in the robot's back and at this point it begins processing information fluently. During the first few minutes it is turned on, the bot only knows a little information, though this changes very quickly as it becomes more intelligent later on.

The next morning, Lamar finds himself in a rude awakening after the bot wakes up and quickly reaching a high IQ of 120, already seeing that it had been able to easily do most math problems and having an extensive knowledge in chemistry. It eventually leaves Lamar's house to grab it's original creator who built the parts and brings him to Lamar's house. In the afternoon when Lamar gets back inside the house, he sees the bot's creator knocked out to death in his living room and yells at him to wake up and forces him to tell him what he's doing with this bot. The bot at this point has already reached an IQ of up to 160, more than what was detected earlier in the morning, even outsmarting it's original creator and even Lamar. Lamar forces it's original creator to kill it but refuses as it might try to shoot you, in which the robot replies that it indeed will.

About three days later, the robot becomes so intelligent that it considers Lamar "dumb", having reached an IQ of 500 (Lamar's IQ in the show is 120). The bot finds Lamar incapable of anything and the bot kicks Lamar from his own house and that if he came back, he would shoot him with his ray gun. Lamar at this point becomes so desperate that he rushes to kill the robot before it does even more harm as its intelligence continues building up. Lamar sees David outside after the latter sees him and the bot's creator running away. David becomes clueless of what is going on, but Lamar tells him that a robot is in his house and has an automatic ray gun that the robot got built on it. However, by the time the trio get to Lamar's house, the robot had already evolved and became so intelligent that it not only finds everyone around it to be completely brainless and lacking in maturity, calling them a bunch of incompetent morons with no knowledge, but the bot had also built three more bots using a duplicator that it built and all four bots point guns at the trio. The bot creator then becomes frustrated in that they have outsmarted them and that there's nothing to do, but David gets his baseball bat and attempts to hit one of them with it, only for the lead robot to take it from him and destroy it, with all four bots pointing their laser guns and ray guns directly at them. The three then try to run from them.

The second bot warns the lead bot that they're getting away, and so all four of the bots chase after them. The bots then get bored of chasing them so they go back to Lamar's house, though Lamar is forced to move elsewhere since the bots have outsmarted him. The creator becomes worried about the bots cloning themselves even more, so he tries to go back but only ends up having to run away as the bots shoot lasers at him. The Narrow Alley Bus eventually pulls into the road, but the bots soon detect it and dodge it. The creator tries to spray water at them, only for them to pull their shields out and deflect the water off of them. Junichiro eventually tries sneaking up to them with a bucket of boiling hot water to kill them, but the bots notice him and directly fire their lasers at him, which causes him to drop the pot of water, which nearly misses him. Lamar tries to hypnotize them and stop them, but it is ineffective and the bots start firing lasers at them.

Even more trouble arises as even more bots come out of Lamar's house in pairs of 50, all of which surround him, in which Lamar tries to call for help, only for one of the bots to grab him and tell him that there won't be help, ever. All 300 bots have developed an IQ of over 2000 and they eventually take Lamar hostage and show him a DVD containing all of the world's knowledge that includes all of the recorded history, including everything from 10,000 BC up to the current year. One of the bots duct tapes Lamar's mouth shut and has him strapped to a chair being watched by all the bots near him while at his house. At this point, one of the bots enslaves Lamar and forces him to work for them.

David and the creator are unable to hear Lamar, and so both of them race back to his house carrying Tomislav miniguns to try and kill them all, but the bots at this point have multiplied into thousands, and they continue multiplying using the duplicator. The creator aims to destroy the duplicator so that no more bots would be cloned. He tries to get into the house and both start firing at the bots, but all the bots begin shooting laser beams at them, severely injuring both of them. The bots then try to kill both of them with equipped saws, both of them call the medic, which rushes to the scene and tries to heal them, only to be instantly killed by one of the bots standing in front of Lamar's front door. The SWAT Team eventually arrives, as called by Junichiro, who is far away from the scene as possible. They come in hundreds with medics in an attempt to kill all the bots and heal David and the bot's creator. At this point, all the bots have an IQ score of 4000, and all consider them giblets, but the SWAT team officers use their defense to stop them, the fight lasts a while and many SWAT officers are killed, but they manage to get most of the bots, which allows Junichiro to come by and destroy the duplicator with the Tomislav gun. The medics begin to heal David and the bot's creator to maximum health so that they can stop the other bots.

Meanwhile in Lamar's backyard, the bots notice that their duplicator is destroyed and all of them deploy their weapons, but the gang eventually eliminates them all and the lead bot is put to death by it's creator.
