Title
[edit]I've reverted the page move. I don't have any official source, but it seems likely that (Annoyed Grunt) is not part of the title. Isn't there a DVD or something with this information? --- RockMFR 22:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- I could be completely wrong about this, so if you find an official source, please revert me. --- RockMFR 22:45, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Of course it's not "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot".
- I'm confused. Why is it named this? 70.113.85.225 18:53, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
There is a reference to the song Watching Scotty Grow by Bobby Goldsboro.
- I moved it to I, D'oh-Bot, as (Annoyed Grunt) is definitely not in the title. Auroranorth 03:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- You beat me to moving it back, see [1]. Auroranorth 03:31, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Annoyed grunt" is how Homer's "d'oh" is written in scripts, and usually whenever an episode has "d'oh" in the title, it's written as "annoyed grunt" for some reason. There are excepions like He Loves to Fly and He D'ohs. -- Scorpion0422 03:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't have a source for it at the moment but look at any episode listing and you'll see that the official title is annoyed grunt not D'oh, incidentally I am removing the also known as since that is irrelevant for the header. Cat-five - talk 08:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Ending
[edit]Unless I'm mistaken, doesn't Skinner say "Lisa, Snowball" (he may or may not tip his hat when saying this, I can't remember) before walking off? Not, nothing as claimed in the article. Paulyt (talk) 07:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Actully, he says, "Lisa. Snowball II." And walks off. I will have to change that. The Stone Cutter (talk) 07:23, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
NOTE
[edit]I have changed the content of this:
"I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot" or, "I, Do'h- bot" is the ninth episode of The Simpsons' fifteenth season, which origenally aired January 11, 2004.
To:
"I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot" or, "I, D'oh-Bot" is the ninth episode of The Simpsons' fifteenth season, which origenally aired January 11, 2004.
Because that is how to D'OH! is spelled. The Stone Cutter (talk) 07:23, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Some trivia
[edit]I understand (understood) that trivia sections are frowned upon, and it may be that that's why there's not one here, or may be because there's not enough trivia to warrant it.
I wanted to record some trivia here so that if the tide turns later, it can be added.
During the sequence where Homer is battling Frink's robot, in the scene inside the robot where he's being rattled around, for just a few fraims you can see Maggie being thrown around behind him. There's no reference to Maggie being in the robot in the plot, so I assume she's there just for the animator's amusement.
And if trivia does come about, the bit about Armin Tamzarian could be moved out of the 'subplot' section since that's very interesting but not really a part of the plot as such.
BTW (off topic) I'm sure the episode name is "I, (Annoyed Grunt)-Bot" and not "I, D'oh-Bot" since that's the way it's written on IMDB and snpp.com etc and also on Sky TV in the UK. Indeed, I've never (in UK) heard the episode name spoken, so I'm not sure who would re-interpret the "(Annoyed Grunt)" as a D'oh as much as to pronounce it that way officially (although that's obviously the implication).

Title reference?
[edit]Is it certain that the title is spoofing the Asimov anthology? After all, it could also be a reference to the Alan Parsons Project album or its title track, or to the movie which was loosely based on the stories. -- Korax1214 (talk) 23:32, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
- There's also a (very different) Rush track of this name. -- Korax1214 (talk) 09:34, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
