Caption Contest: 49-foot ASIMO makes trees, dancers look tiny

There's nothing that screams "end of the world" quite like a 49-foot ASIMO towering over a forest, but we'd prefer to ignore inevitable doom long enough to imagine what exactly a 49-foot ASIMO would scream.

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!"

[Dani Reader @ Dec 19th 2008 4:42PM]

The joke comes from sudo make, which only really works for make me a sandwich, and such

[Wolfticket @ Dec 19th 2008 4:47PM]

[andres @ Dec 19th 2008 6:18PM]

[FILA @ Dec 19th 2008 4:17PM]

o dear, this is just what the old movies use to warn us of, an invasion of tall nut crackers or robots, but they might kno a couple nut cracking moves.

[Heinz @ Dec 19th 2008 4:19PM]

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.

[Chris @ Dec 19th 2008 4:24PM]

Unfortunately for the doomed dancers, Asimo was rather clumsy.

[Wolfticket @ Dec 19th 2008 4:25PM]

Sophisticated passing ASIMO robot ignores tiny dancing people.

[Felipe @ Dec 19th 2008 4:30PM]

OH GOD! Oh no, why does this always happen? I squashed my dance partner, oh no!

Guy in red shirt riding what looks like a donkey thinking..."Damn you robot, this was supposed to be my show."

[Boarderwoot @ Dec 19th 2008 4:33PM]

Oh, my bad. After further inspection he's riding some woman, not a horse. Sorry.

[drumdbeat @ Dec 21st 2008 2:10PM]

LOL

[Najakwa @ Dec 19th 2008 4:33PM]

The owner of the dance troop was not worried, for he had renewed his Old Glory Robot Insurance earlier in the week.

[paul @ Dec 19th 2008 4:34PM]

I'm afraid I can't do that Mr. Fukui

[Chris @ Dec 19th 2008 4:40PM]

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they ask me to sing show tunes. Call that job satisfaction, 'cause I don't.

[Paul @ Dec 19th 2008 4:42PM]

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. Better than he was before. Bigger, bigger, bigger.

[JesseBurton @ Dec 19th 2008 4:43PM]

You will be assimilated, or squashed like a bug, your choice. Resistance is futile.

[august1stdevil @ Dec 19th 2008 4:44PM]

Damn it!! Where is Miss ASIMO with my Vest and Bow-Tie??

[macfink @ Dec 19th 2008 4:49PM]

"Smoke number five... Invisibility!"

[kenno69 @ Dec 19th 2008 4:51PM]

Does this come in a nutcracker version? It'd make a great stocking stuffer.

[Jake @ Dec 19th 2008 4:52PM]

[couchpundit @ Dec 19th 2008 4:54PM]

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

[Idlemind @ Dec 19th 2008 4:56PM]

"Everyone rejoiced as Asimo danced a little dance... many of them were killed later when frolicking with Aibo, who didnt know his own strength..."
