David Kirk Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Is there any robot that's more awful than this one? I doubt it. It came out when I was six and I had the good sense to reject it even then. In all the years since, there have been many losers, but can you find anything nastier than Yakkity Yob?

Brian.. Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 That's positively beautiful compared to Robotina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Eeauugh! Are the accessories original? Are those humanoid ears? I still think the Yob is worse! If you removed the diaper, the earrings, and the bonnet from Robotina, I don't think she'd be so bad. We need more contestants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6Stelab9 Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 I agree with David the Yakkity Yob is really ugly whereas Robotina got some kind of charm. When I think about a ugly robot, I always think about the "recent" Robosapien V1 or V2. I really don't like this boring design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil R Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 C'mon David. You can't remove parts and still compare. Yakkity Yob is homely but his "mom" loves him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kirk Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Is Robotina a tribute to Rosie from the Jetsons? I looked it up and can't figure it out. Those black and white guys look like tubby dudes in long johns - ugly in a more modern way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kirk Posted September 25, 2023 Author Share Posted September 25, 2023 Yikes, RoboCopy, Those popping red robo-titties look like they're ready for suckling robot-babies. These are all worthy contestants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Can't disagree! But the first price goes to RoboCopy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrarobotman Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I have to agree with Dirk. RoboCopy's looks like it was made in tribute to the Chinese emperor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kirk Posted September 27, 2023 Author Share Posted September 27, 2023 I still have a bit of fondness for Big Loo, having bought him when he was new, but not enough to bring mine down from my attic where he's rested in the dark for the forty + years since I brought him from my parents' house. I still think he's designed by the same artist who did Marx Electric Robot and some other Marx toys, but I'm not crazy about that sixties cartoon update. I loved him when I was eight!
