Thomas: "Dance I said! Dance!"
Chris: "Hey, did we remember to fix that bug where he falls down stairs?"
Joe: "Where's Arthur Murray when we need him the most?"
Darren: "Wait, Dancing With The Stars said what? No pimp canes? That's a deal-breaker."
Paul: "In his musical debut, 'ASIMO Takes the Stairs,' the eponymous star provides a surprisingly self-deprecating reenactment of the moments leading up to his infamous tumble. Music by Elton John."
Nilay: "Not to be outdone, iRobot later sucked the entire city of Pasadena into a football field-sized Roomba."
Don: "After years of toiling away at two-bit trade shows, ASIMO finally realized his dream project: Mr. Peanut: The Musical."
Ross: "Having been turned down by both Ultrazoid and Voltron, the giant ASIMO checked his RAM for a dance number he could do solo."
Josh T.: "Moments later, running ASIMO's 'Jazz Hands' script sent dancers flying hundreds of feet to their grizzly deaths."
Josh F.: "I'm crushing your head! I'm crushing your head!"
Cesar (from Zune): "I for one welcome our inflatable robot overlords. With a dance!"
Do a little dance, make a little love, get down to night, get down tonight!
"Ironically, the accompanying music was not Styx. or Rochmaninov."

The joke comes from sudo make, which only really works for make me a sandwich, and such
Ah, so thaaaat is why it's funny.

Mr Roboto tried to explain his issue to the doctor, but decided to just show him the worst case of crabs he's ever had.

Unfortunately for the doomed dancers, Asimo was rather clumsy.

Unfortunately, Helen Benson mispronounced "Klaatu Barada Nikto" and the robot unleashed a fierce set of the Macarena before destroying the city.

It seems to me, that all you see, is violence in movies and sex on tv............
And AsimoScrooge was better than his word. He did it all, and infinitely more; and to Tiny Tim, whom he did not crush to death, he was a second father. A gigantic, metallic second father. And to those others whom he did not crush that terribly terrible Christmas day, he became as good a friend, and as good a metal overlord, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world!
