A skutter was used by Rimmer to hide Lister's cigarettes in the episode Balance of Power, in hopes to control him. However, this did not work as Lister found the package before the episode was over.
In the episode Me², a single Skutter gave the Cat a bowl of popcorn due to the two Rimmer's willing to fight each other.

In the Episode Better than Life, Rimmer blamed the skutters for not following his instructions for the meal he was cooking, leaving Lister and Cat with stomach problems.
Two skutters play on the keyboards in the episode Thanks for the Memory, while Lister plays on his guitar and Cat dancing to celebrate Rimmer's deathday.

Bob returns in the episode Pete Part: II, where Kryton gives him a time staff. While he was eaten by a Tyrannosaurus rex, which was originally a sparrow named Pete, Bob was pushing buttons on the staff and fixed almost everything and turned Pete into a cow. The Dwarfers tried to make "cow curry" in hopes to bring Bob back out.
