Talk:Visor Robot

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 02:18, 9 May 2005

The Visor Robot's name is Robbot Darren, or at least there is a robot named Robot Darren who zaps you if you try to fight him in Hallrunner, complete with the "VOIP!"

Sketchbook, 2005-04-29

this week's sketch book identifies this as the "fhqwhgads robot"; should we relabel to match?

• In this case, I'm leaning towards no - because the robot predates any connection to Fhqwhgads. (see Homestarloween Party) --Jay (Talk) 15:13, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I agree with Jay. We have to remember that we take the naming of minor characters a bit more seriously than perhaps The Brothers Chaps do, since we need to put them into articles where consistency matters. I'd imagine they were probably just thinking something like, "Hey, it's that robot we used in the fhqwhgads song!" or something. -- Tom

So where does the name "Visor Robot" come from anyway? I mean, I know it has a visor, but by that logic it might as well be "Laser Robot" or something... Aurora the Homestar Coder 19:41, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Not a robot?

Is it necessary to state that the "not a robot" disclaimer in Senor Mortgage means anything? I just assumed it was a play on the "not an actor" actors in such commercials... --Jay (Talk) 02:18, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
