WowWee's Wrex the Dawg reviewed: puts real canines to shame

Unless you've specifically been lookin' out, you may have very well forgotten about WowWee's crazed robotic dog that was uncaged at CES. After lasting through its first few days of training (which we'll call a review for our purposes), we're led to believe that this pup is "the silliest robot you'll ever love." Reviewers weren't shy in calling it like it saw it, as Wrex was hailed as "absolutely terrible at being a dog and even worse at being a robot." Of course, it's fairly easy to see this bugger was meant to provide comedic relief and not sophisticated companionship, so those pointers aren't exactly negative. Overall, Wrex is almost guaranteed to make you chuckle on a daily basis, and if you don't believe that, just check out the video waiting after the break.

Is WowWee the same company as WeeWee?

[KEROLiUKAS @ Jun 4th 2008 12:31PM]

[bohsocks @ Jun 4th 2008 12:41PM]

To kill Sarah Connor?

the world really needs another fossil fuel created piece of grabage with a lifespan of 5 months.

[directive0 @ Jun 4th 2008 4:40PM]

You are low ranked, but you speak the truth.

[skulldriveshaft @ Jun 4th 2008 7:26PM]

I'm sure the computer you used was definitely made possible by fossil fuel.

iEye is pondering , " can this dog hold my iPhone?"

iEye needs love and understanding......can this dog possibly be his new best friend ? Will the dog be able to operate the iPhone ? Can the dog make calls on the iphone ? If iEye calls the dog ? , will the dog answer ?

Most annoying post of the day. Congrats.

[me @ Jun 4th 2008 1:27PM]

it's not funny

[olsonick @ Jun 4th 2008 1:42PM]

Ahaha! It looks exactly like the evil robot dogs from Chip 'n Dale, Rescue Rangers!

[Stem $ell @ Jun 4th 2008 2:26PM]

You hear the one about the robo-hound that licks his cyber-balls and er, Wrex'd em'?

[James Bowe @ Jun 4th 2008 3:03PM]

Damn near killed him?

[spacegravity4me @ Jun 4th 2008 3:39PM]

insane killer clowns from outer space... or whatever you call that old stupid movie, that's what the dog reminds me off.

[Steffen Jobbs @ Jun 4th 2008 4:04PM]

That mutt looked like it just pooped it's batteries. Such an ugly hound.

[racimora @ Jun 4th 2008 4:22PM]

I think I just Wrex my pants. Amusing at best. Like we don't have enough pets farting and pissing all over the place, now we need to pay good money for a fake one!? I am sure he'll eat his weight in batteries as well.

Interesting. Would have been more interesting if you were able to hear the voice coming from the crappy speaker in it over the sound of the servos...
"Oh, so cute! What did it say?"
"I don't know"

[skulldriveshaft @ Jun 4th 2008 7:28PM]

It probably said "You're all going to die"

[skulldriveshaft @ Jun 4th 2008 7:35PM]

The slot machine eyeballs are great for gramps who can't make it to the casino anymore.

[Phred @ Jun 5th 2008 4:50AM]

I, for one, welcome our...
No... no, there's no way that thing's taking over.

[Phred @ Jun 5th 2008 5:00AM]

Wrecks?

[godsoup @ Jun 5th 2008 8:15AM]

I'd replace Balmer with Wrex. I reckon he'd be a better manager and certainly more popular. At least he wouldn't sweat as much and he's better looking.
