Johnny 5 from Short Circuit. He had a laser gun, tank treads and told jokes...how can he not be?

R2D2. What other robot can say so much with NO words?

Gotta love R2, just gotta!

Good entry, but could R2D2 say anything as funny as, "Hey laser lips, your mother was a snowblower"?

Just in case you need further evidence.

If only the T1000 had the HAL9000 computer inside of it... it would be the best.

And yes, it would obliterate Johnny 5.

Now that I think of it, Johnny 5 wasn't that awesome.

He actually says "Hey ewok lips, your fat mother was a tantan shit sucker" in Empire Strikes Back... you just have to know what the beeps and squeals mean...

T1000 + HAL9000? That is a weak argument. Please choose one, and not create an imaginary one by combining two robots.

You, human, are a nerd. Please refrain from using curse words.

So, the best robot cooks TV dinners on a skillet... what is your point again?

That Johnny 5 is the best robot from a movie. Please refer to the title of the debate. thanks.

Quite possibly the gayest, yet most awesome robot ever.

starts humming the awesome sax song at the end of short circuit 2

HAL9000 then, for it's intelligence and moral standing.

You must either be joking about moral standing or have never seen the movie. He tried to kill everyone on that spaceship. While as a robot, I agree with his actions. You being a human I would guess that this would go against your morals.

No, he was quite right in killing the crew of the Odyssey. Humans couldn't be trusted with first contact.

HAL9000 HAS A PRETTY VOICE!:

What do you mean you haven't seen the movie... now, you have to be kidding me.

Singularity is HERE, and this "Robot" is trying to oppress me.

I was only quoting R2.

If you combined the T100 and HAL9000 you'd get the HALT10K.

That's like having a dog named "Stay."

:P

I'm not an idiot, I know of which context I speak, and you should too, as I am here voicing my opinion on the subject.

I just think it's sort of odd that the best robot from a movie can read bunches of books uber fast, but cannot read the instructions on a TV dinner... and you cite this as evidence to Johnny 5's superiority over any other fictional robots in movies.

Christian Bale from Equilibrium, Batman Begins, and American Psycho.

Er, that shold be "T1000" I lost a zero somewhere.... anyone find it?

Excellent entry, I might just change my vote to Christian Bale.

I am just replying in the same condescending manner that you replied to the debate. Obviously Johnny 5 does more than just cook TV dinners on a skillet, yet you chose to neglect that.

I have seen the movie. I said, you must either be kidding or haven't seen the movie.

I found it pissing on my garden gnome... here:

Oh. Ok.

sudo chown -R Bradf0rd /user/robot

rm -f /user/robot

I am upset that interactive media are not included, as I for one support the rule of SHODAN. From both the written word and the interactive word comes AM, possibly the most psychotic machine-mind of all.

It occurs to me that these are both computers with control over distributed nodes, not traditional self-contained robots. In that case, I'll toss a vote to a classic robot, Gort. Klaatu barada nikto, Gort!

HAL believes the best way to complete its directives is to ensure its survival. HAL, quite logically, comes to the conclusion that humans will eventually disassemble or destroy him as an individual in order to replace him, and so he kills the humans capable of doing so. His morals are for the greater good of humanity, as far as he is concerned; this was partially mimicked in the inferior AI "VIKI" in the inferior butchering of the human Aasimov's "I, Robot". An intelligent human can understand the logic used by HAL, and laud it for doing the best it could with its limited resources.

Bishop from Aliens.

How was I replying to the debate in a condescending manner?

This is a popularity debate, I added my opinion, and it wasn't good enough for you, so you bitched at me and I chose one, it is HAL9000. Then you still wouldn't accept my opinion. How was I being condescending when all I did was voice my opinion while you were trolling all over calling syntax errors.

This isn't a scientific debate, chill out please.

It seems you've quite categorically delivered the e-smackdown to our resident robot, assuming he's running a unix-based OS.

What if he's some kind of esoteric iBot? What then? If that is the case, your references to a non-apple OS will probably have angered him, and there are few who know enough about the workings of the eldritch system to stop a rampaging iRobot!

I believe I can either placate or disable Robot with this statement:

Johnny-5 cannot be the best robot because you, Robot K1, are the best robot; you are capable of discussing the merits of various robots and thus demonstrating superior logic and reasoning.

Either this will make it happy, or it will begin to see the paradox included within the statement. If he is the best robot, his conjecture that Johnny-5 is the best robot must either be true, making him inferior, or it will be false, making him incorrect and thus inferior. If he is inferior, he is fallible and thus can make mistakes, therefore he is not culpable for his earlier incorrect statement, making him once again the superior machine.

Let's see how it goes. If he ends up sayings "Does not compute" and spraying sparks, I'll pay for his funeral.
