"I, (Annoyed Grunt)-bot" or, "I, D'oh-bot" is the ninth episode of season 15. It originally aired on January 11, 2004 and was written by Dan Greaney and Allen Glazier and directed by Lauren MacMullan.

Bart and Homer enter a Robot Rumble competition. But when Homer isn't able to build a decent robot he decides to adjust the robot so that Homer can operate it from the inside. Meanwhile, Snowball II dies and Lisa tries to replace her with another cat.

Milhouse runs to the Simpson house to tell Bart that the Psycho Cycle Conversion Kit had arrived. They do up Bart's bike only for the bullies to mock it, steal the tassels from it and get away on their superior 10 gear bikes. Bart, annoyed at this, asks Homer for a new bike, but is told that he'll only get a new one when his old one is broken. Bart then comes up with a plan and throws his bike in front of Dr. Hibbert's car, getting it destroyed. After apologizing and offering to pay for a new bike, he drives off again, only to run over Snowball II, killing her.

Homer takes Bart to Vicious Cycle to get him a new bike. After Homer assembles it for Bart, Bart excitedly rides off and laughs at the bullies as he now has a bike better than theirs. However, Homer's shoddy build job means the bike falls apart and the bullies ride off laughing at Bart. Later, Homer and Bart watch Robot Rumble when Bart tells Homer that he isn't mechanically handy...
