Production Number: 1ACV11 Title Caption: Transmitido en Martian en SAP First Aired: 10/03/99

Act I: "Is it dangerous?"
The Prof. Farnsworth tells the crew they'll be delivering a package to his office at Mars University (MU). When Fry asks if it's safe, Farnsworth insists it is. Then the crate starts shaking and something inside growls, and Farnsworth loads a tranquilizer gun and shoots whatever is inside.

Act II: "Are you here to fumigate the moosehead?"
The crew arrives on Mars and tour the campus. Fry enrolls in classes so he can drop out and get the respect he deserves. Bender spots the MU chapter of his old fraternity Epsilon Rho Rho (commonly called Robot House). The members, a bunch of serious nerdbots, beg Bender to teach them to be cool. He agrees, and takes them on a panty raid. In the process they wreck the servants quarters of another frat, Snooty House.

Act III: "My roommate is a monkey?"
Fry gets to his room, and learns his roommate is a monkey. It turns out the monkey, Guenter, was in the crate they were delivering. By wearing Farnsworth's latest invention, the Electronium Hat, Guenter recieves heightened intelligence. Guenter immediately starts to show Fry up in everything, from 20th century history, to picking up girls. Then, after his parents humiliate him at Parent Night, Fry and Leela catch Guenter sitting in the dark eating bananas. He confesses he is unhappy, and Fry suggests he go back to the jungle. The next day, durring a test in 20th Century History, Guenter snaps, takes off his hat, and runs away. Meanwhile, Bender and the ERR fratbots get into more trouble, earning the wrath of Dean Vernon.

Act IV: "I spent months slaving over a hot monkey brain!"
While Bender leads Robot House in the big fraternity raft regatta, Leela, Fry, and the Professor go into the jungle to find Guenter. While they try to get Guenter to wear the hat, Bender's raft races by. The resulting splash washes them into the river. Bender's team wins the race, but now it's up to Guenter to save Farnsworth, Fry, and Leela from falling over the waterfall. He succeeds, but ends up falling himself, crushing the hat in the process. With the damaged hat working at only half-capacity, Guenter decides he is happy, and transfers to Business school. Because of their victory in the Regatta, Dean Vernon is forced to lead a parade in ERR's honor.
