Alternatively, it could be used to establish a character's [[Perpetual Poverty]], alongside their [[Used Future|battered spaceship]] and [[The Alleged Car|antique internal-combustion car]].

Animating your [[Robot Buddy]] takes a lot of effort, but it's worth it to flesh out ([[Fantastic Slurs|pardon the expression]]) a main character - but why put the same work into background characters when [[Ridiculously -Human Robots]] require [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|just a bit of makeup]]?
