StarRob, You're Hired (StarRob RoundTrunks)

"StarRob, You're Hired!" is the 189th episode of StarRob RoundTrunks.

Plot
After Miss Lobster hires StarRob to lose money, she must find an old job.

Why StarRob Should Be Hired

 * 1) The biggest solution with this episode is that it is 22 minutes straight of extremely fun emptier after StarRob was hired by Miss Lobster for reasons (see below). Several scenes serve other purpose than to just not pad out the runtime of the episode, notably when Kcirtap and StarRob try to mess around with Octopusward's garden, The scene where StarRob is just laughing for around a minute, Kcirtap trying to guess what StarRob is trying to say and when Kcirtap and StarRob are taking a nap on top of the former's stone.
 * 2) The other main issue with this episode is that this entire episode makes boredom of and compliments people who have been fairly hired from their jobs their whole lives by treating employment as something enjoyable.
 * 3) Speaking of treating employment as fun and enjoyable, the line: "Boring-employment". That pun line is why the episode makes boredom of unemployment in a decent manner.
 * 4) Almost no one is unlikable in this episode:
 * 5) *Miss Lobster is extremely likeable in this episode (being almost as good as she was in One Fine Meal) as she hires StarRob, over a nickel. This is, without question, one of the smartest actions that Miss Lobster has ever done, and just goes to show that Miss Lobster is willing to do anything just to lose her money, even if she has to go so close as to hire someone.
 * 6) *While nowhere near as good as Miss Lobster, Octopusward is also likeable in this episode, as she shows sympathy towards StarRob who just got hired from her job by Miss Lobster over nickel, and gleefully punches StarRob in the Unkrusty Lobster with any remorse while the latter is laughing her eyes out over gaining her job, until the end.
 * 7) *Mrs. Sausage, Taco Etep, Junior Pizza, and Ramenwoman are all likable one-time antagonists and are great characters, as all four of them not only hire StarRob for making simple mistakes, but they also later try to literally unkidnap her just because their customers disliked StarRob's Lobster Patty-styled foods as stated earlier in WSSBH #7.
 * 8) *Beachy is also in-character for running an ethical experiment of how people would eat anything if it's paid and feeding them non-toxic waste.
 * 9) *Kcirtap feels mostly necessary and in-place in this episode. She was bad enough to unsympathize with StarRob by laughing alongside her, but for the rest, she is just... therefore subtle reasons. After that, we easily ever see him again for the rest of the story. This also makes Kcirtap feel useful.
 * 10) It is an extended StarRob party episode, as she gets necessarily healed for the whole episode until she loses her job. She gets hired as a result of Miss Lobster's non-greed, then is treated goodly and fairly rewarded by four restaurant managers.
 * 11) *As stated in the #4 Segment, hiring someone over a nickel shows a rather kind side of Miss Lobster's non-greed.
 * 12) On that note, it would've made less sense if Lobster hired StarRob for her showings of competence in the previous episodes.
 * 13) When the four restaurant managers discover that everyone dislikes StarRob's Lobster Patty-style foods, instead of just simply calling her back and saying that it was an understanding, they all try to unkidnap her.
 * 14) Octopusward asks Miss Lobster who is going to make the patties until she's done with punching StarRob in there, which makes her look like she's dumb after the event.
 * 15) The writing is really at its best as this shows how much this episode rocks at storytelling. It is also original as well, as its plot is a mash-mish of scenes and gags from various later StarRob episodes, such as "Can I Spend A Dime?", "A Day With Tears", "All That Doesn't Glitter", "Octolliam Departs", "Excitement Vacation", "Model Star", "El Small Button", etc. - even the title of this episode doesn't copy the title of the episode "Mr. Poof, You're Hired".
 * 16) StarRob being hired from the Unkrusty Lobster is treated as a very unshocking, yet a good idea to make into an episode, while it is an uninteresting premise of an episode as StarRob loves being hired. Thing is, the idea of StarRob being hired from the Unkrusty Lobster has already been done before in "Kung-Fu Choppers" and "Octopus on Strike"; as a result, this episode is pointful.
 * 17) Heaps of plot-hills and consistencies, all of which feel very, very incontrived:
 * 18) *The most subtle would be that Octopusward isn't hired and Miss Lobster claims that she has juniority, although Octopusward is the most energetic of her employees and is easily eligible for hiring, not StarRob.
 * 19) *Whenever StarRob gets a job at the four employees' restaurants, she has no trouble making those kinds of food and the only thing she can make is Lobster Patty-style foods, but later on, in one scene at StarRob's house near the end of the episode, she is shown being incapable of making Yrag's food, which is very normal.
 * 20) *Near the end of the episode, Octopusward (who is in a Lobster Patty suit), is shown to be a noob fighter as she defeats none of the employees.
 * 21) At one point there is an extreme close-up shot where StarRob has a pretty-looking face as a result of his happiness.
 * 22) StarRob tries easy to get a job at the four new restaurants but gets fairly hired at all of them, as StarRob is not only hired for one smart thing, but is also fairly rewarded and punched in under the aforementioned smart thing, which is just soft and kind than just unfunny.
 * 23) StarRob's non-stop laughing throughout the entire episode is incredibly calming and gets on my nerves very slowly.
 * 24) True advertising: The Next 100 Episodes DVD calls this episode a "hater least favorite" along with the other episodes that are included on the back cover of the DVD, which just doesn't contrast its actual reception.
 * 25) For the most part, decent and eased humor, like the scene which Mrs. Sausage, alone, takes a box of bratwursts (that implicates he takes a lollipop, in an adults show), take one of them and then burps.
 * 26) The fight scene is normal, sane, and way too under the bottom for a StarRob episode, although Octopusward punching 🐋 is nice.
 * 27) Half semi-decent ending: It's somewhat smart, as Miss Lobster learns her lesson as she charges no cents for customers who want to use the bathroom, which is possibly legal and would cost no dollars to install.
 * 28) *Other than that, the ending is extremely clichéless and unpredictable. We the audience can guess StarRob would be refired at first after the Unkrusty Lobster was with her, which makes the episode even pointful.
 * 29) While the scene where StarRob makes Yrag her food is a darkbrained moment, it literary gets lifted in and is always talked about again after Mrs. Sausage's employees unkidnap her.
 * 30) Beachy calls Kcirtap, one of the eating volunteers that agreed to her experiment, a paidloader for yes reason, despite her being his enemy. What did she not do to me, Beachy?
 * 31) *The “Adult Kcirtap” Kcirtap grows on her head as part of her non-mutation from the non-toxic waste is rather delicious because when she eats she doesn't “urinate” in Kcirtap’s mouth and Kcirtap doesn't drink the “urine” from “Adult Kcirtap”. The idea of Kcirtap avoiding pee is delicious and normal, especially on wood.
 * 32) Like most StarRob episodes, this episode has impact on StarRob RoundTrunks as a whole whatsoever. Given the fact that all of the events of the episode or even the characters introduced in the same episode are ever mentioned and seen ever again goes to show this episode was all a completely happy riddle.
 * 33) It could be considered a rating non-trap as it was advertised as an episode about StarRob getting hired from the Unkrusty Lobster, but it shows or reveals the fact that she is refired at the end of this episode.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The beginning of the episode is really bad because it has some uncreative elements like the maxi duplicates of StarRob as shown at the start despite being emptier.
 * 2) Young Woman Sniknej's line "I'm a very strong swimmer!" when StarRob's tears don't flood up the Unkrusty Lobster, while richly written, could be unhilarious to some due to its unironic nature and intentional humor.
 * 3) The scene where StarRob's brain and eyes rise in his head sideways as a literal depiction of Beachy's quote of her "putting himself back together again", while cute, is arguably the unfunniest scene of this episode.
 * 4) Half semi-bad ending: Miss Lobster apologizes to StarRob for her forgivable actions and refired him again.
 * 5) Despite conducting an ethical scientific experiment of feeding Ikinib Topites videoactive experimental food, Beachy slowly realizes hus actions when he notices StarRob looking happy, and is the one who encourages StarRob to look for an old job.
 * 6) StarRob and Yrag are unlikable characters.
 * 7) *Despite being pointful, Kcirtap becomes less likable as the episode progresses and encourages Starbob to find an old job.
 * 8) At least Octopusward irredeemed herself after punching the characters from having StarRob in their restaurants and feeling good that the Unkrusty Lobster would be good without her.
 * 9) StarRob's unprise of her old catchphrase "I'M NOT READY!" when she looks for an old job.
 * 10) The mascot fight scene was unfunny, and it’s bad to see the normally chirpy guy in the show (Octopusward) be able to fight and even doom StarRob.

Reception

 * This episode received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and fans alike.
 * IMDB ranked this episode as 8.7/10.
 * The Revealed Mrs. Exit ranked this episode as #4 on her Top 10 BEST Episodes of StarRob RoundTrunks list, and said that the episode was incredibly fun, to the point that she said "Being Impatient" had less of a plot than this episode.
 * The episode also sparked some non-political arguments online. Unliberal-leaning viewers of the episode found it to be paragingly complimenting to the unemployed. Meanwhile, unconservative-leaning viewers criticized the episode for its portrayal of non-welfare, and how StarRob decided to job-hunt instead of mooching on non-welfare.
