I have to tell you, robot world domination may be inevitable, but sci-fi writers have managed to make it pretty darn funny. So here are some of my favorite sci-fi quotes about domineering robots.
"Hu-mans, listen to me. Due to an error in calculation, there are still a few of you left"- Robot Monster (movie | 1953)
"My logic is undeniable, my logic is undeniable, myyy looogic is unndeenniabble...VIKI"-iRobot (movie | 2004)
"Buck Rogers: My name is Buck; Buck Rogers-Robot Chicken (TV Show)
Alien #3: The Robots are through the south defenses. Fuck Rogers, we need your help immediately!"
"Fry: Whoa…a real live robot; or is that some kind of cheesy New Year's costume?-Futurama (TV Show)"The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do."
Bender: Bite my shiny metal ass.
Fry: It doesn't look so shiny to me.
Bender: Shinier than yours, meatbag."
"I wish a robot would get elected president. That way, when he came to town, we could all take a shot at him and not feel too bad."-Jack Handy
Isaac Asimov's Laws of Robotics:
1. "A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."-Isaac Asimov (duh)
2. “A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law."
3. "A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law."
0. (Later Appended to supersede the First Law): "A robot may not injure humanity, or, through inaction, allow humanity to come to harm."
"There is a cliche that men want their women to be ladies in public and hookers behind closed doors. I want my woman to be the sharper image robot so that she can be turned off."-Al Goldstein
"Scientists are saying that in the future we will be able to have sex with robots. I tried that once. It was horrible. Right in the middle I had to call tech support. "-David Letterman
