- sLydE, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20"Warning: Persons denying the existence of robots may be robots themselves"
Classic. - Wiggles2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Wow I haven't seen this clip in years..it's still funny
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10And when they grab you with those metal claws, you can't break free.. because they're made of metal, and robots are strong.
Now, for only $4 a month, you can achieve peace of mind in a world full of crime and robots, with Old Glory Insurance. So, don't cower under your afghan any longer. Make a choice.
Old Glory Insurance. For when the metal ones decide to come for you - and they will. - cambrown99, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10Frakkin' toasters
- bjkrautk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is one of the all-time best SNL commercial parodies.
"For when the metal ones come for you...
...and they will." - theOster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4If anyone can find the grayson-moorhead securities clip, please let me know.
- A Tradition of Listening -
Listen to your client. It's the only way to know what he's saying.
- A Tradition of Trust -
If a client is talking and you're not listening and he notices and
he accuses you of not listening, just say, "Sure I've been listening,
I've heard every word you've said." If he then says, "All right, tell
me what I've been talking about," just say, "You've been talking about
your investments. Which stocks to buy and so on." That way the client
will think you've been listening even though you haven't. - toddomatic, on 05/20/2008, -1/+5I bet my grandma would call the number.
- stupidStan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4i'll tell you one thing... you arent funny
how is robots attacking old people cute? Its not... ITS FUNNY! - StinkyHobo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3That is seriously one of my favorite TV moments of all time! I love how Sam Waterston can barely keep a straight face as he's delivering his lines.
- gosix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Please insert girder.
- fishmasta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Wow, one of my favorite SNL skits.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Thank you for this, I fear robots only because robots are to be feared.
- tdowling, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Disclaimer: People who believe that humor necessitates a punchline will likely not find this video funny.
- reva, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I remember that too. There was a part at the end with a little robot coming across a table and there was a line something along the lines of "It's okay, Bernie. That one's a *good* robot. But next time it could be different!"
- retech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"It's ok, he's a friendly robot [looks at camera w/concern] this time"
- cameron074, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3sorry, guess you have to actually have a sense of humor and/or not BE a robot to enojy that clip.
- reva, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Classic. I remember this one from years back. And still the awesomeness remains.
- cambrown99, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1and yours died at 5 diggs... if it's two weeks old and didn't make it to the front page, I'd say that's fair game to try again.
- cakestick, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2booo, xutopia has an incompatible sense of humor!
- climbon321, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Wish I could digg once for the Old Glory and once for all the mc frontalot clips you've got.
- retech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2there's another variation of that commercial, I've got a copy on my drive but cannot find a link anywhere... different ending mostly.
I made a t-shirt w/old glory logo... it's amazing how many ppl recognise it and laugh when u walk around with it on. - awhite2600, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That's funny. I realize that it's years old, but it's new to me. I think Sam was having trouble keeping a straight face about 10 seconds before the end.
- G-RaZoR, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ dclowd, are you talking about the walker texas ranger clips that appeared for an entire week when NBC merged with USA (or something like that). The ones where he pulled the lever nonstop? You know, the WALKER TEXAS RANGER LEVER :)
anyways, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVArBYKxlMM - gmontag, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That's it. Robots are going to eat you now.
- GutterMoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1MC Frontalot rules. We even have the same favorite flavor popsicle. Yay Lime!
- kyote, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2too funny. + Digg.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Be quiet.
- Phillzz, on 10/31/2008, -0/+1Old story
www.lifeinsurance.iblogger.org/ - MyDocuments, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1oh yoshimi! they don't believe me.
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Just what do you think you're doing, dave
- panicofficer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Here's a better version of the clip on the Robot Combat website. I've been using this link for years now to show it to friends. Still one of my favorites. :)
www.robotcombat.com/oldglory1.html - Klowner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2The Old Glory sketch is a mixture of old people's irrational tendency to fear new technology, along with those sleazy insurance companies that hope to sell insurance to said old people.. And now I've demonstrated that If you have to explain it, it's not funny.
- insurance, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great Alabama auto insurance http://alabama-auto-insurance.bluffapot.com/amazing-auto-insurance-websites.html insurance website.
- HellifIno, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0No offence, but ... the humor lies in the verbal range, not the visual. : / Good on ya for pointing to a higher-quality vid, but... yeah, I think I've already said my piece ; )
- stoikiometry, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Crystal gravy, dog lawyer, hamburger helper antibacterial, happy fun ball, and uncle jemima's pure mash liquor are better.
- MuffinMan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2**called it**
Although it wasn't Mr. Subliminal. - Mark03, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0My favorite is the one with Will Farrell and the cockroach trap :)

There is a search function for a reason...
And YES! I am bitter! - conan359, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Oddly I have not seen this in years either but just last week I though about it. I can't wait to get home and watch it with speakers.
- whizzbang, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Finally!
damn robots - 10001110101, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3@sLydE - spooky.. I was just commenting the same quote. I even had "Classic.".
- pocketlint, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I always thought they ate people for fuel. Robots don't need food.
- qwertydvorak, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0boy that show sucks... why are they still on the air even ?
