Cool, he can even reinforce racial stereotypes, causing black children to bust a move and white children to stay in their seat and clap there hands.

Dude, girlfriend's got some cankles.

@ThnderbltDoherty: Dude, whatever. That's Megan Fox as an 8 year old.

Beware! He's holding his own remote control! Our system for keeping robot-kind subjugated has failed, he can exercise his own free will!

All hail the own-remote-holding robot overlords! (and their vacuum cleaner concubines)

Memories... My friend in Vancouver had one of those things when I was younger. It sure LOOKED usefull...

Yeah, it's amazing how excited the announcer can sound about a slow RC car with a microphone and serving tray.

I wanted one of those so bad when I was a kid. I totally remember that commercial.

I have one of these. I was pretty excited to get it for Christmas in 1988 or whenever. I never quite figured out how to get it to bring me the soda though.

Yeah, I got one of these bad boys for Christmas in 1984. The coolest part about it, other than being about to share a fart with a friend in another room via the microphone, was the tape deck that let you program movements and audio. Of course, that just meant we had automated fart jokes, which took away a lot of the artistry involved...

Looking back on it now, it was really pretty lame. Very exciting when you're seven, though.

"Domesto-bot, he's three foot high, he only says ten phrases, he's the friend you've always dreamed of, order Domesto-bot today!"

I liked the programmable moon truck and trailer better. The LED laser firing would really get the cats ready for some six-wheeled trampling.

Turboner, you beat me to the post again. First about the shared asian pornstar mistress plan, now about the six wheeled moon trailer terrorizing cats. Right on.

I was scared I was going to get an Omnibot that christmas, but luckily it was moon trailer.

Nothing beats the General Lee pedal car, though. With 9-volt Dixie horn. I drove the wheels of that sucka.

I had an Omnibot. Got it for my birthday circa 1984 when I was 12. Ahhh the memories. I remember having him programmed to wake me up every morning for school by moving over to the side of my bed and jamming my Ratt tape loudly until I shut him up. No matter how precise you tried to put him back in his "home base" however, he would always get off course on the program. Maybe it was the shag carpet. Gotta love the 80's!

@bzr: Time to get up, I made you a bloody mary.

Oh, Domesto-bot, it's 8 in the morning!

I made it a double.
