Famously funny
There are some very funny people in this world. Some quotes are staged, some are simply on-the-spot moments of brilliance that just roll off the tongue. Whatever they are, whatever the situation in which their intention was brought to life, these little anecdotes live on, becoming a part of pop culture and yes, appearing in blog posts like this one as amusing collections of things. In future episodes of Alien Robots, I will be looking at the reactions of our two robot aliens Oscar and Felix as they grapple with the concept of human humour.
