Go To

Tropes present in this episode:

  • Behind the Black: The Dukes don't notice that Bobby Joe the robot has lifted up the back of the General Lee, keeping them from driving off, until Bobby Joe is shown doing that on screen.
  • Drunk on Milk: Or buttermilk, as Rosco drowns his sorrows at the Boar's Nest and the memory of Boss tearing him to shreds.
  • George Jetson Job Security: One of several episodes (and the last) where Boss Hogg fires Rosco for various reasons. Also, one of the crooks muses that he can only find temporary contracting jobs and was denied a bonus for creating the robot.
  • Job-Stealing Robot: Boss Hogg fires Rosco and replaces him with Bobby Joe the robot.
  • Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot: A truck caught for speeding reveals a stolen robot.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Boss gives an incredibly cruel one to Rosco just as he's firing him for making too many mistakes.
  • Ridiculously Human Robots: Bobby Joe, the robot cop. Despite the robot costume, there are obvious signs Bobby Joe is played by an actor (indeed, Robert Shields fills the role).
    • Robo Speak: The flat, robotic voice of Bobby Joe.
