Insane and fun. Reminded me of one of my favorite MST3K bits, the list of robots that Joel and the ‘bots pray for in the opening of (I think) Catalina Caper: “God bless RoboCop; even though I thought he got a raw deal, but it’s really none of my business… and – do we have to? OK. GOD BLESS TWIKI.”
It would have helped to actually have the list in one spot. I agree with the person who was surprised that the Daleks and the Cylons were left off. I would also have included the robot from the recent I, Robot (best character in the movie, actually), as well as a couple more representatives from the Giant Anime Robot genre: Gigantor (whose power is in your hands) and the Megadeus from Big O. Lion Voltron rules hard, but he should have some company. (And Darth Vader is NOT a robot. Luke was right about him. Obi-Wan, you are pwned.)
Nightfly, you spoiled it for me! (Ok, only part of it.) I got through the first few and casme back here to specifically state, “If the list doesn’t have Twiki and Dr. Theopolis, it’s crap.”
It is obviously not crap. So I will revise: If the list does not contain IG-88, it is crap!
Any list that has Bender as #1 is, by definition, NOT crap.
Daleks are not actually robots. There are aliens inside the Dalek exterior.
Hello, I am a huge geek.
That’s great! Thanks for the link. Loves me some robots!
I laughed because the author’s avatar is London from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and then I cried because I knew that INSTANTLY. I am pathetic.
Too bad B-9 (“Danger, Will Robinson!”) is not on the list. It was fun reading, though.
Dan – I love you. I don’t even know what your comment means, but I love you.
Actually, all of you commenting here completely rock.
Carry on. :)
Dan – I love you. I don’t even know what your comment means, but I love you.
I know exactly what his comment means. You’re right to love him.
“Ya know… Ah see a lot of fancah robahts heah… with lots of shiny metahl. But that don’t impress the Robot Devil! No suh!
(No suh!)
He’s ah-gonnah plug his infernal modem into the wah-uhl… and he’s ah-gonna download ya STRAIGHT tah Heh-uhl!”
(Straight to Hell!)”
Little did I know that hours of watching Dr. Who would pay off in the form of the love of a beautiful woman…
Dan – hahahaha Yeah, how often does that happen, right?
However. Beautiful? Think again.
You’re too modest.
Nightfly,
