Funny Robot

Exactly What It Says on the Tin. In works of fiction, Robots often serve as comedy relief.

 * GLaDOS can be rather funny in both games in a rather grim way, although while the way she taunts and goads Chell may be funny to the player, it's likely not all that funny to Chell.
 * Wheatly in the second game; helps that he's voiced by British comedian Stephen Merchant.
 * R-110 in Time Splitters becomes this after a terminal somehow gives him "brain damage".
 * In Mortal Kombat 11, Sonya's turret drone is usually a mini-kill-bot, but in one of her Friendships, she throws a stick for it to fetch, making it cute - and funny - as hell. Especially seeing as it brings back the stick and a dead Tarkatan!
 * Maple Story: Even the Mecha-Mooks and Bosses who are robots are funny. For example, Guard Robots have one wheel instead of legs, use weapons that look like electric tennis rackets, and have a siren on the “head” that blares when they attack, while the more humanoid robots have eyes that bug out when damaged. The first Boss in Black Heaven is a bulky robot that looks like some Dumb Muscle thug with a square jaw in a suit – except he’s a robot.
