They’ll just be fleeing their perverted Japanese owners that they were forced to ‘marry’ as sex slaves. Typical…you say ‘Not tonight, I have a file maintenance scheduled’ one too many times, and these pervs think they can stuff you in a closet, shut you down, and go out with living women.

By the way, what do you say to a fembot with two broken optical sensors? Nothing, you already told it twice!

These simple machines foreshadow the tireless hunter-assassins for which I’m waiting.

So your Nursebot 1.0 was supposed to put the ice cream back in the freezer and then tuck Granny in for the night…but the Wizards of Redmond forced a stealth update (even though you turned it off) and there were a few minor bugs…and the next morning you found Granny in the freezer and the cat licking the bed…!!!

The exit question we’re all thinking but no one wants to ask: Is this, y’know … version 1.0?

Why ask the question. It’s fact buddy!

All it needs is a metallic skin and it’ll be ready to chase Linda Hamilton around a factory.

Awful thing to say about C3PO’s Grandfather.

Can it learn to dance? Will it slap you on the back with the proper amount of friendly force when you tell a funny joke?

Will it scratch its butt when it’s deep in thought?

“Robo-proctologist, report to room 23-D! STAT!”

That’s one sentence you never want to hear coming over a hospital PA system.

Everybody sing the cyberdroid’s favorite lullaby:

“There’s a prehistoric monster,
That came from outer space,
Created by the Martians,
To destroy the human race.
The FBI is helpless,
It’s 20 stories tall…
-what do we do???
Who can we call????

Call Tobor—– …….the 8th Man!”

They may spare you if you know this song.

The robot also creates 3D maps of each body it observes, and it commits the map to memory.

I did that to Raquel Welch, back in 1970.

It needs them to be able to kill you in the most efficient way possible.

Check out this SNL skit from 12 years ago

Heh.

The Japanese are barking up the wrong tree. They need to get a move on with modifying the genetic code to lizards that will give us Godzilla, THEN they have to do robots, because then we can have giant Robot Samurai and Robot Gozilla.

I had a sneaking suspicion that it’d come down to whether or not the Japanese, or the Germans, would build a robot to take care of the kids.

Snark.
