Puppy vs. Roboquad: the ultimate man-machine showdown

This is pure win

[Smart People Play Tuba @ Jan 28th 2008 10:40AM]

It's nice to know that James Cameron was right . . . Dogs DO hate robots, and thus will be useful in detecting Terminators in the future.

[Phil @ Jan 28th 2008 2:58PM]

I, for one, welcome our new puppy overloards

[Bassir @ Jan 27th 2008 8:25PM]

Dammit, I wanted to see that thing completely destroy that dog.

[poulan @ Jan 28th 2008 10:12AM]

I wanted to see the dog completely ignore all the sound affects and lights and continue humping its leg.

[NoTomorrow @ Jan 27th 2008 8:32PM]

Indeed, it is a bucket of win.

Props for the mario effects and the score.

I laughed for around 5 minutes after watching this.

[Jordan @ Jan 27th 2008 8:37PM]

I want to see Pleo against a dog! :D

[MJZimmer88 @ Jan 27th 2008 8:40PM]

This is absolutely amazing. Loved every moment. I'd love to see that dog go in to bite that roboquads head off. Imagine an attack dog in training going after one of these things...

The robot is a chew toy in the rematch vid!

[astute @ Jan 28th 2008 3:45AM]

That video just made me drunk...

(bad filmed and not funny)

[mattclarkie @ Jan 28th 2008 7:23AM]

The second puppy is nasty, but the first puppy was adorable.

I want to go out and buy a puppy, it is 8 years since my dog was a puppy, and I miss it.

[Suzanne @ Jan 28th 2008 9:53AM]

It's been eight years since my dog was a puppy, too. It's been 7 and a half years since she destroyed our carpet, and about 7 years since she...well, my husband still gets upset when he thinks about his golf clubs. We have wood floors now and new golf clubs. But puppy still has her Red Hour moments, and she'd be like Dick Cheney raining paws of death upon poor hapless Roboquad. BWAHAHAHAAAAA!!

[Shane @ Jan 27th 2008 8:48PM]

Puppy versus Sony Aibo would have been ever better... :-)

[Joseph A Nickence @ Jan 30th 2008 12:00AM]

Pfft. Two robots would simply stop fighting and chit-chat with each other.
Quad: "You know, this idiot human wants us to fight."
Aibo: "Yeah. Let's piss 'im off!"

[CaliforniaKid @ Jan 27th 2008 8:50PM]

Maybe not happen in our lifetime, but that dog WILL eventually be replaced by a robot.

[oshean @ Jan 28th 2008 9:46AM]

Yeah, it was a fluke that the Jetsons even had Astro as a pet. Robotic dogs are the way to go.

[David Piatek @ Jan 27th 2008 8:54PM]

Finish him... Finish HIM!

[pquistgard @ Jan 27th 2008 8:59PM]

How is this MAN vs. machine?

[Paul @ Jan 27th 2008 10:14PM]

Man's best friend is currently subbing.

[pquistgard @ Jan 27th 2008 11:10PM]

And fighting bravely for us too! Deserves a medal.

[Flashpoint @ Jan 27th 2008 9:04PM]

Next Episode:

Dog vs. Mike vick.

[BatteryAcid @ Jan 27th 2008 9:06PM]

That dogs in over his head!

[dravez @ Jan 27th 2008 9:14PM]

You already know that a Puppy is not a MAN, right?

[Ellianth @ Jan 27th 2008 9:27PM]

Exploiting animals? PETA will not be amused. They're gonna send a tree hugger bot at the guy/gal who made this video.

[th4fl4sh4 @ Jan 27th 2008 9:38PM]

Next fight: Cat vs. Roboquad!!!!

That would be really interesting. XD

[Shunnabunich @ Jan 28th 2008 11:52AM]

*cat raises head to glare at robot*

*cat puts head back down*

*cat goes back to sleep*

[David @ Jan 27th 2008 9:54PM]

LMAO poor dog!

[Mikeyv @ Jan 27th 2008 9:56PM]

what kinda dog is that?

[Suzanne @ Jan 28th 2008 9:59AM]

Looks like a German Shepard/mix?

[Stephen Wilson @ Jan 27th 2008 10:05PM]

that dog was hella cute

[Mojo_Yugen @ Jan 27th 2008 10:23PM]

Dammit! Lost 5 bucks on that fight!

[liver than god @ Jan 27th 2008 10:32PM]

awww.that was the feelgood video of the day.

hail satan!

[Mike @ Jan 27th 2008 10:36PM]

[Preston @ Jan 27th 2008 10:42PM]

Uh oh, bad newz... a certain lil robot I know is gonna hafta get hung and/or electrocuted now

[spaceb @ Jan 27th 2008 10:46PM]

Now that's a badass puppy!

[Dirkus @ Jan 28th 2008 12:19AM]

I have not LOLed that hard in some time.

That video is made of WIN and AWESOME.

[FT @ Jan 27th 2008 10:51PM]

If I saw any creature that resembles to a large spider of my size...I would've done the same.

poor puppy...he must've been really freaked out with the alienlike Roboquad..

But I was really hoping the puppy would go after Roboquad's neck and snap it...bummer...

[DT @ Jan 27th 2008 11:36PM]

You know what this means? Humans won't be the first to die when the Robot Revolution comes....dogs will! We bought some time!

[dramamoose @ Jan 27th 2008 11:37PM]

That video was overflowing with pure win. This MAY be the next target of my videogame fund.

[murray @ Jan 28th 2008 12:28AM]

Guess I'm the only one wanting his 2 minutes back.

[GuesT @ Jan 28th 2008 12:38AM]

Yeah I want my 2min back too

[John @ Jan 28th 2008 1:45AM]

Poor puppy, that thing would freak the shit out of my dog too.

[rlynd3 @ Jan 28th 2008 2:36AM]

Poor Puppy? that is an awsome play toy! My dog begs for me to chase him around with my RC Cars and Helicopters. Did go godzilla on my mini-heli once though. :)

[DG @ Jan 28th 2008 3:58AM]

Guess what's not cool to say anymore: things being "fail" or "win." Yep, it's now stupid and lame. Time to find something original!

[WINdsor @ Jan 28th 2008 6:09AM]

you fail.

the video win.

[ClaMs @ Jan 28th 2008 10:13AM]

DG - Fail
WINdsor - Win!!!

You win the prize!!

[Homeboy @ Jan 28th 2008 6:46AM]

LMAO at the Puppy Super attack!!

Awesome=D

[iptydafu @ Jan 28th 2008 7:11AM]

Who cares about the writer's strike, with this around?

[strider_mt2k @ Jan 28th 2008 8:53AM]

Gentlemen!! BEHAVE YOURSELVES!!!!
