Plot[]
A bully named Terry Finster has been giving Jimmy a rough time and stealing his lunch lately, and then he's had it. Rather than go to the proper authorities, Jimmy creates an electronic bodyguard piloted by Nanobots. Unfortunately, the Nanobots get a little overzealous; the Jim-Tech helps Jimmy's situation, but it mistakes his friends for bullies and his friends become petrified of him.

Quotes[]
- (Just after Terry has stolen both of Jimmy's lunches.)
- Libby: "Jimmy, don't put up with that!! You have to tell a teacher!!"
- Cindy: "Or your parents. Even you shouldn't have to deal with a vicious bully on a daily basis!!"
- Jimmy: "And so then, he filled my backpack with glue and used my stomach for bongo practice."
- Carl: "Wow. What are you gonna do?"
- Jimmy: "The one thing I do better than all the Terry Finsters put together."
- Sheen: "Cry and beg for mercy?"
- Jimmy: "No, put science to work. Where there's a lab there's a way."
- Carl: "How come Terry wants your lunch so bad?"
- Jimmy: "I think he needs the extra energy for when he throws me in the dumpster. Yesterday I had to take two baths and put on my dad’s aftershave to hide the smell."
- Sheen: "It could be worse."
- Jimmy: "Oh, really? How?"
- Sheen: "Well, you could get sucked outta the plane through the toilet. That’s why I never flush, not even in my own home."
- (Jimmy & Carl looking at Sheen in disgust and disbelief.)
- Sheen: "What?!"
- Jimmy: "Why is everyone so worried?"
- Jimmy: "It scared off my enemies, but it's terrorizing my friends. It’s like I’m the bully."
- Hugh: "Just got a phone call from Terry's mom! Did you two have a little spat-a-roo?"
- Judy: "Hugh, the talk?"
- Hugh: (clears throat) "Once upon on time, a boy sparrow ... said to a girl sparrow, 'Hey, nice feathers! Can I buy you some millet?' Well, the girl sparrow..."
- Jimmy: "You know what, dad? I would really love to hear the rest, but I'm having a small emergency, bye!"
- Hugh: "And when he got to her nest, he was alarmed to find out that her mother was a cantankerous old crow!"
- Judy: "Hugh!"

Trivia[]
- Carl mentions the events of "When Pants Attack" to Jimmy, when he asks if the Nanobots will do anything bad like the pants did.
- This is also the first episode where an event from a previous episode is mentioned.
- When Carl says, "adults usually know the right thing to do, except in horror films when there's a spider in their bathtub...", is a reference to the 1990 horror comedy film Arachnophobia.
- When Jimmy beats up himself to confuse the Nanobots, this scene makes reference to Jack's smirking revenge from the 1999 movie Fight Club.
- One of the books Hugh brings to Jimmy is Triangles Are Your Friends. This is the same book Carl wanted Jimmy's help on in "Trading Faces".
- Carl, Cindy, and Libby were all holding the same book when Terry stomped on Jimmy's second homemade lunch. The book's title is Reading for Credit.
- When the Nanobots are walking in slow-motion, they walk in a similar fashion to the astronauts in the 1983 docudrama The Right Stuff.
- This is one of the few episodes where Jimmy and Cindy don't directly antagonize each other. Other examples include "Hypno-Birthday To You", "Journey to the Center of Carl", "Professor Calamitous, I Presume", "Nightmare in Retroville", "My Big Fat Spy Wedding", "Flippy", and "Lady Sings the News".
- Daran Norris voices N-1, and Tom Kenny voices N-2.
- At the beginning of the episode Sheen intends to ask Jimmy who would win in a fight, Bigfoot or a Komodo Dragon. Later, Hugh is seen reading a newspaper, whose first page is headlined "Big Foot K.O.'s Komodo in Six!!".
- Daran Norris and Tom Kenny, the voices of N-1 and N-2, also worked together on the Cartoon Network series "Mixels", as well as many other projects.
Goofs[]
- When Judy is taking a step forward, while pushing Hugh and saying "Hugh! Birds, bees, now.", her right thigh can be seen passing through her dress.
- The captions refer to Nick and Ultra Lord as Vic and Dr. Love, respectively.
