Drossel and Gedächtnis spend every episode pretending they're having profound philosophical conversations while the world catches fire around them. The comedy lives in that gap, two characters so committed to sounding intelligent that they don't notice the absurdity unfolding in real time. It's a show that treats nonsense with aristocratic dignity, which somehow makes the nonsense funnier than if it tried to be silly on purpose.

Drossel is an aristocratic heiress of the House of Flügel, a robot duchess living in her family's grand Tower of Tempest in the far future of the 49th millennium. She shares the manor with Gedächtnis, a huge spider-like robot butler with a single eye whose family service stretches back generations and who looks after her with devotion. The two pass their days in conversations meant to be intellectually lofty, which are sometimes cut short by odd, unpredictable happenings, all while a war between robots and humans goes on outside. A monkey-like robot named Schadenfreude eventually joins the pair. Rather than telling an ongoing story, the CGI comedy shorts work as standalone skits built on idle chatter and nonsense, and the brief episodes make them easy to watch whenever you want something light.
