Okay, when I first watched this video I thought, Wow, this guy does a really good impression of a robot. Then I kept watching and thought, Oh my God, this robot does a really good impression of a guy. How real does this thing look?! The only problem is that it's twice as weird as it is cool. There is just no life in those eyes and the expressions, although somewhat life-like, are clearly mechanical.
More importantly, he has no robot swag. I mean, was "The Bieber" the only hairstyle available? They could have gone so many other ways with the hair, but no. They chose The Biebs. And how about that facial hair. He looks like the guy that hosts Minute to Win It.
Maybe the host from Minute to Win It IS the robot. Think about it. It's not really a difficult show to host. If you complete the task in a minute, you win it. It even rhymes. His hair is spiked, but that's not a hairstyle that's tough to maintain. He's not interesting by any means. I think I may be on to something here.
You would think they would build a robot to look like a better-looking dude (no robo) to kind of draw attention to how good-looking it is. There are plenty of desperate women out there that would pay big bucks to have their own hunk of a robot. They could train him to do all kinds of stuff too.
Anyway, congrats to Sweden for freaking out over a million people on YouTube.
