* [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Tom Servo, Gypsy, and Crow]] are somewhere between levels 3 and 5, because they're very intelligent but (with the partial exception of Gypsy) spend their time learning about human pop cultural trivia and watching bad movies instead of solving complex scientific or philosophical problems. Of course, all of this [[MST3K Mantra|is done for laughs]].
** Gypsy is Nobel-level if not godlike when her higher logic functions are not maintaining the SOL. The writers realized that their only female character (at the time) was a moron so they reconned her into the smartest one on the show. However, when she keeps the life-support and other functions running, her IQ drops to sub-Crow levels.
* [[Doctor Who]] takes place in any setting or time period the writers feel like having the Doctor visit this week, so the robots featured can be anything from mindless programmed machines ([[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S4S30/E16 The Waters of Mars|"Gadget Gadget!"]]) to fully sentient and even capable of a bit of snark ([[Doctor Who/Recap/NS/S2S28/E03 School Reunion|"We are in a car"]]).
