Bender is not pleased when he is asked to work on Robanukah; the holiest two weeks in the robot calendar but it can't be helped as Planet Express has bee hired to deliver a package to a planet inhabited by robots who hate humans so much that any human caught there will be killed. When they arrive Fry and Leela stay aboard the ship while Bender gets the job done. Things don't go according to plan though as it seems the robots are so anti-human that they also hate robots that work with humans so arrest Bender. In order to rescue their robotic friend Fry and Leela disguise themselves as robots and head into town. Amazingly they aren't spotted straight away and even take part in the human hunt. They get caught though when they bump into Bender in the robot porn shop. After their trial they find themselves in the presence of the Robot Elders who have invited bender to demonstrate his human-killing skills by executing the two of them will he relish the opportunity to kill humans or will he help his friends escape.
This was a decent episode with some pretty good jokes; I specifically liked the gag about Bender suffering from 'tube-erculosis' and the construction that resembled a giant game of Tetris. The story wasn't the best but it was good enough; Bender is fun to watch when he wants to kill all humans and it was fun watching Leela trying to persuade the robots that she should be shared as she isn't human she is close enough for them though!
