I don’t know quite how to feel about the coffeepot robot.

I can do it! I can see Alpha the Robot… or, at least, I can see a photographic representation of Alpha of the Robot… unless that isn’t actually Alpha the Robot, but a huckster hawking Alpha’s gig… Man, Metaphysics is complex stuff.

Shhh. It’s okay. Think of it like a Scooby Doo episode - that robot isn’t real, it is just Mr. Roberts dressed in a crude robot costume!

A crude robot?

Not gonna ask what the nipples are for. Nope.

[FGD135]

Technically, aren’t robots usually nude?

[FGD135]

Well, on Diva-Droid International’s 4000 series of mechanoids, the right nipple-nut is used to regulate body temperature, while the left nipple-nut is used mainly to pick up shortwave radio transmissions.

I considered replying with a clip from Tetsuo but decided today I won’t be that guy.

Ok, it’s not a photo and it’s, I suppose, technically not a robot, but this ad for the electric dog is just stunningly stupid so here ya go:

I bet you also want the schematics? Well:
