* Beep-0 from ''VideoGame/MarioPlusRabbidsKingdomBattle'' may be a robot assistant, but his dialouge and personality makes it clear he acts like a human being. He's a very funny character in so many ways.

* Eric and Deborah from WesternAnimation/TheMitchellsVsTheMachines are funny as a result of them trying to act like humans, and doing a poor job of it, as well as their childlike behaviour.

* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': {{Invoked}} with "Funnybot", a robot designed by the Germans to prove that they are funny. Of course, much of its humor comes from the fact that everyone finds its middling to poor jokes (punctuated by the punchline of "Awkward!") to be the funniest thing in the world. It ends up trying to destroy the world as it believes that it would be the ultimate joke.

The skutters of Red Dwarf were ardent fans of John Wayne. NOT John Wayne Gacy. Slight difference.


* Being a sci-fi comedy, the show ''Series/RedDwarf'' is filled with these, from the scatterbrained Holly to the John Wayne Gacy loving (and Rimmer-disobeying) skutters to the guilt-ridden andprone to jealousy Kryten.

* ''Webcomic/TheAirRideSeries'': Miss Robot. Almost any second she is in a comic, Miss Robot is doing something stupid. This ranges from drinking lava, confirming she hacks herself, or the fact her favorite drink, water, causes her to explode.

* ''VideoGame/MapleStory'': Even the MechaMooks and Bosses that 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 DumbMuscle thug with a square jaw in a suit – except he’s a robot.

*''Film/TheHitchHikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' has two examples. There is Marvin, the robot who is programmed to constantly sound sad (voiced by Alan Rickman, RIP) and the ship's navigation bot which is constantly cheerful. The funny part comes in because the robots keep their characteristic sound even when the words they are saying make no sense that way. This isn't just about intonation either, the ship's navigator constantly says things like "good news everyone, the missile is headed for us in 10, 9, 8.." Marvin meanwhile says things like "oh no, look at this beautiful sunset". The interactions between the two robots are even more silly for this reason.

Often overlaps with RobotBuddy, and can be a subtrope to AmusingAlien. Rarely has anything to do with ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', although the show ''is'' funny and often involves robots.

* ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' winds up turning a HumongousMecha into one after the Arbalest's system AI (designated AL) begins developing sentience. Concluding that Sousuke would be able to more reliably activate the finicky Lambda Driver if he could just chill the hell out, AL starts engaging in CasualDangerDialogue and {{Deadpan Snark|er}} during lulls in battle. Sousuke thinks this is both [[StopHelpingMe nonsensical and annoying]], but his marked improvement with using the Lambda Driver following this development suggests AL has a point.

He's programmed to be obsessed, and he knows fully well that he is, and why (his whole existence is basically a pointless TakeThat against Mr House, who doesn't know and wouldn't care anyway), and he can't do anything about it. He's very miserable about it.
