    Was not expecting a new Strong Bad Email in 2025, let alone one with a fhqwhgads reference.

    I said come on FhqwhJosh

        It's missing the interactive easter eggs, that’s my conclusion. They show the content, but it’s fun to find it yourself… (edit to fix a word my iPhone decided to change for me.)

    Wow it's been a while since I've seen Strong Bad. Neat! Unrelated, except that it is also robot-related humor: Today I was thinking about The Good One Robot. I first heard about The Good One Robot...

    Wow it's been a while since I've seen Strong Bad. Neat!

    Unrelated, except that it is also robot-related humor:
    Today I was thinking about The Good One Robot. I first heard about The Good One Robot when listening to an episode of "Comedy Death Ray" (which later became "Comedy Bang Bang"). I'm not sure of the exact origin, but I think this happened in 2010. Anyway, on the show, Tig Notaro was a guest. Scott Auckerman said something funny, and Tig said, in a monotone robot voice "Mmmm Good One". Then Scott said "was that the good one robot?".

    This random throwaway joke pops into my head sometimes at random. I think it would be fascinating to create a very specialized robot that does just one thing, and detecting humor would be a pretty good application. Maybe not as good as a robot that could pass the butter, but awesome nonetheless.

    This seems like one of the better applications for AI. Apparently there has been some research into this topic. I would quite enjoy having a little robot, or even a phone app, that was silent until it heard something funny, and then it just utters mmm Good One

    Updated: Apparently there's an unofficial fan page for The Good One Robot, so there must be a decent number of people who also think that it's hilarious. I can't read much of the page because I don't have a facebook login and it makes you login if you scroll much.
