BigDog Beta Quadruped Bot Video Is So Stupid It's Hilarious

gizmodo.com — If you thought Humanity was damned after watching the latest BigDog quadruped robot, prepare to loot the nearest supermarket and run for the hills, because this video of the beta version of BigDog will leave you in awe. And probably make you wet your pants with laughter, like some of the best Monty Python's skits.

  • lennyrrt, on 03/27/2008, -2/+81I understand it was able to withstand kicking, loose rocks and sniper fire in Bosnia.
  • wonderwal, on 03/27/2008, -6/+28this is hilarious, specially when the dog plays in the swings. They should have hump somebody's leg, like Triumph the insult dog.
    • mwalker05, on 03/27/2008, -0/+20did you not see it humping the two girls on the park bench?
      • mikegcallahan, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6I think they were patting the dog on the back. Proper humping is against the leg.
    • gmiley, on 03/27/2008, -0/+13At first, having not seen the original, I thought this video was the dumbest, piece of non-funny I had ever seen. Then I watched the video of the original robot. Now I find this one pretty damn hilarious.
  • yokozuka, on 03/27/2008, -3/+33Yes, it's hilarious. And it confirms what we all suspected: the original one is a clever hoax by Boston Dynamics:

    • ligyron, on 03/27/2008, -11/+0I didn't find it all that funny. I think the title and description set my expectations high
    • Dokument, on 03/27/2008, -1/+11dude, you might want to get that checked out.
    • N00F, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3*plop*

  • ezman700, on 03/27/2008, -1/+8Seriously guys, that was great. I wish they had a dual "pee on the hydrant" scene... not that it isn't ridiculous enough already.
  • ByrcheWroot, on 03/27/2008, -1/+5Good times.
  • kmccormi, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10I thought it was hilarious ... made me laugh out loud several times at work.

  • MindTrigger, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7aahahahah this was friggin' perfect. Brilliant! The swing had me crying! Adding this to my favorites right next to the real BigDog video.
  • jojopumpkin, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3I'm amazed the guys filming this were able to keep from laughing HA!
    • Bersy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Uh I could hear them snickering more than once.
  • terryhuang, on 03/27/2008, -0/+49Robot > kick
    2xhuman < kick

    We are screwed... Terminators are just around the corner.
    • minigamer1896, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4There was also netting that tripped them up. Not so for the real BigDog.
  • Razster, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6Wonderful!
    I needed a good laugh today, right on Gizmodo!
  • evilcaptain, on 03/27/2008, -3/+71nailed it!
    I laughed so much I peed in my mouth a little!
  • borez, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4Dammit I just spat coffee all over my keyboard. Still works...for now.
    • cw1242, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6Stop drinking coffee when you watch videos
  • CYR1X, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Link to original video first would of been nice.
  • OhTheHumanity1, on 03/27/2008, -13/+10i didn't even smile much less laugh
    • OhTheHumanity1, on 03/27/2008, -3/+14ok, just saw what this was a spoof of.... definitely needs context to be funny!
  • pronouncable, on 03/27/2008, -2/+5ow. can't. breath.
    • Icyfenix, on 03/27/2008, -1/+8I hate people who spell "breathe" as "breath"
  • ligyron, on 03/27/2008, -2/+3*g*
  • gnomead, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5I loved the part when they did the running-man together...haha
    • captainanndor, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1That was the highlight for me too. Especially since there was the whirring sound combined with the scraping sound of their feet.
  • ultralights, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2that was funny.
  • Dilz, on 03/27/2008, -10/+1It is 4/1 already? No, but I can see why you might think so from reading the caption of this digg: an alarmingly positive mini-review of a clever, though certainly not pant-wettingly hilarious, device used to invoke lukewarm physical comedy. Perhaps I missed some sarcasm? This is not hilarious. GI Joe PSA's are hilarious.

  • jigglesworth, on 03/27/2008, -7/+2Wow one of the most prolific vids yet, my life can now begin and my heart swells with the knowledge i retained while loving every second of this masterpiece, i need a ciggy if you know what i mean, my oh face is so beta right now and my K9's have never been stronger, thanks for the perfect creation conglaboration sensation!
  • RobbieF, on 03/27/2008, -4/+6How dare you, Subbie, compare that smegma to Monty Python?!

  • Chainheart, on 03/27/2008, -1/+20:41, The person on the right is a woman
  • dulymachine, on 03/27/2008, -0/+25I showed the original BigDog video to so many people who were simply awestruck with the creepyness of it, now I have to go around AGAIN showing everyone this
  • matts009, on 03/27/2008, -0/+11I didn't realize the joke until half way through the video!! It looked real and I was getting pretty amazed at how good it was until I realized it... haha
    • Bersy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Yeah, because after the first video, they thought "you know what this thing needs, is to look more like two douchebags tied together."
  • dudio, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2totally great !

    Thanks for the laugh
  • hollyminkowski, on 03/27/2008, -1/+15OMG!
    Now this is REALLY funny!
    What a cool thing to think of ;-)
    I bet the designers of the real robot are rolling in the floor watching this ....
  • redrighthand, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3goddam the tubes is funny today, first a sleepless night makes you think you were under fire now this
  • Jeepy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2"bvvvvvt bvvvvvt bvvvvvt bvvvvvvv" -BigDog right before being kicked off a cliff....oops wrong thread.
  • maxthreepwood, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2BTW, if you missed the original video, here's it is:

    http://digg.com/hardware/Video_of_BigDog_Quadruped ...

    Watch that first, then watch the spoof.

    Sorry for not including it in the digg. I just assumed that having 5K diggs, everyone would have seen the original.
  • o2sk8, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3I'm digging the ***** out of this.
  • robthom, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3That was funny as *****. I want to know why that guy booted the ***** out of them.
    • Nollykin, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3watch the original and you'll get it. Search "bigdog" on digg.
  • PsychoDesigns, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2I JUST steped into my apartment from my class where the prof showed us that! wow.. pretty neat stuff.
  • Forbizzle, on 03/27/2008, -2/+5I was dying laughing at this, till the last second when they admitted they were a viral marketing group. Not that this was actually selling anything other than their services, it still shows you how scary the practice is. Anybody who mentions the term Viral Marketing with a positive tone is a douche and they're trying to take advantage of people.
    • HonestAbe, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Who cares? It's better than regular advertising.
    • actionscripted, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2They're showing us just how good they are with every Digg this story receives.
  • cidman2001, on 03/27/2008, -4/+2The original was freaking awesome...the spoof was just ***** stupid!
  • Nollykin, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2BAHAHAHAHAHA
  • Wootstapler, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4What the ***** did I just watch?
  • ekay, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3I LOL 'd in a quiet room all alone this was some good randomness

  • choopie911, on 03/27/2008, -1/+2Dugg for hilarity. That was great.
  • omenmedia, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7Literally LOL, that was hilarious! I didn't realise it was people until they got kicked over. :(
  • AdmiralAcbar, on 03/27/2008, -7/+1This is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever watched. Not funny at all, just a waste of my time.
  • pygmy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+1Its scares me how life like it is!
  • Quizboy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Omg, I laughed through the entire video nonstop.
