Funny Robot

Exactly What It Says on the Tin. In works of fiction, Robots often serve as comedy relief.

Often overlaps with Robot Buddy. When a work implements Kids and Cute Robots, this is the type of robot that is typically used.

Examples of Funny Robot include:

Garfield has RX-2, a snarky talking bathroom scale who constantly trolls Garfield by making fun of his weight.

Clank, Lawrence, Dr. Nefarious and MR. ZURKON.
Orbot and Cubot from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Portal:
- GLaDOS can be rather funny in both games in a rather grim way, although while the way she taunts and goads Chell may be funny to the player, it's likely not all that funny to Chell.
- Wheatly in the second game; helps that he's voiced by British comedian Stephen Merchant. Sure, he's trying to kill Chell, but his attempts are so dumb that he's Laughably Evil and outright hilarious.
R-110 in Time Splitters becomes this after a terminal somehow gives him "brain damage".
In Mortal Kombat 11, Sonya's turret drone is usually a mini-kill-bot, but in one of her Friendships, she throws a stick for it to fetch, making it cute - and funny - as hell. Especially seeing as it brings back the stick and a dead Tarkatan!
Maple Story: Even the Mecha-Mooks and Bosses who 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 Dumb Muscle thug with a square jaw in a suit – except he’s a robot.
