Funny / Robot and Frank

Go To

  • The fact that the Robot telling Frank that, if he fails to take care of Frank. He will have his mind erased as if he's genuinely frightened at the prospect. Only to reveal he'd just been "acting" scared to coerce Frank, is surprisingly hilarious.
  • Before he starts to mellow (at least a little) Frank was really being a prick towards Robot.
    Robot: Frank, that cereal is for children. Enjoy this grapefruit.
    Frank: You're for children, stupid.
  • The payoff with the Robot's "Initiating self-destruct" and then count down from ten trick. When the police bust Frank's house and decide to download Robot's memory, it does exactly that to try and scare everyone. The sheriff and the others shrug it off at first, but the robot's performance is so convincing that everyone eventually flees the house... Save Hunter, who just sits on the stairs. Looking at Robot before letting out an exasperated sigh.
  • Robot is always deadpan.
    Robot: (to the children poking and prodding him) "Warning. Do not molest me."
    • Later on, Robot wanting to preform it's nursing duties.
    Robot: "Thank you, Frank. (Beat) It's time for your enema."
