"Gone Efficien...t" is the ninth episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season two, and the eighteenth overall. It aired on June 13, 2004 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by Erik Richter, based on a story by Richter and Michael Ouweleer, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. The Hanna-Barbera guest character ridiculed in this episode is Yakky-Doodle.
