Gotta love Japan! Every year, Maiwa Electronics hosts The Stupid Robot Contest to determine whose robot is the silliest.
The contest rules are simple (and brilliant!):
1. It must be mechanical
2. It must be completely useless from a societal point of view
3. It must make people laugh
From Tokyomango:
Pictured above is Papa Robopucho, a disfigured little box bot that plays the red-flag-white-flag game by himself, and then occasionally topples over and cries for help.
Some of the other contestants last year were a chorus of pregnant wife robots, a child robot that did push-ups, and and a "moe" robot dressed like a maid from a maid cafe.

Is this where the device that's only purpose was to make the hand shut itself off (I think it's name was "Don't bother me") came from?
