This article is about the futuristic robot. For the robot from the Original Book, see The Robot (storybook).
Old Fhqwhgads robots
"My name is not Valerie..."

The Robot is a futuristic robot that was invented by Strong Bad while making up stories at Homestar's Halloween party. In Strong Sad's version of the story, the robot had a human brain which belonged to an old man who was the father of The Sad Kids. Inside the robot's head there is a red lightbulb that apparently gives the visor its red color. His voice in Everybody to the Limit comes from Macintosh's Zarvox, while his voice in Senor Mortgage is derived from Microsoft Sam. He has been known to shoot lasers out of his visor with a loud "VOIP". Though he has never been officially named, he was referred to as "fhqwhgads robot" in the Weekly Sketchbook for April 28, 2005 and as "Valerie" by Senor Cardgage in a commercial for Senor Cardgage Mort-gage. In his testimonial, he claims that the mortgage company helped consolidate his "whole life into this tiny box."

In spite of the name "fhqwgads robot" being used in a Sketchbook, the robot existed before i love you.

Stlunko, a boss from the game Stinkoman 20X6, bears a strong resemblance to the Robot. Therefore, it is possible that Stlunko is the Robot's 20X6 counterpart. The Robot also bears a resemblance to Maximillian, the evil robot from the movie The Black Hole.
