A humanoid robot’s highly anticipated debut quickly went awry when it stumbled onstage at a technology showcase in Moscow on Tuesday.
Backed by the theme song of “Rocky,” the robot, accompanied by two people, waddled onto the stage before a room full of journalists ready to catch a glimpse of what the developers called “Russia’s first anthropomorphic robot with artificial intelligence.” But in a scene resembling the end of a messy night at the bar, as the robot attempted to wave its right hand, it stumbled around before falling flat, face-first.

Search function works fine.
His agent won’t be getting calls from Igor Moiseyev.
Humiliating to be sure.
The idea they thought it was ready leads me to believe they are further along than we think.
A Joe Biden bot.
I guess you don’t know how to use the search function.
That’s what they get for using Joe Biden as a model!
Someone’s getting gulaged.
Stalin delivers a speech to a large audience in the Kremlin. Suddenly someone sneezes.
Stalin: Who sneezed?
Everyone is shaking, and no one dares to confess.
Stalin: First row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Applause)
Stalin: So, who sneezed?
Silence.
Stalin: Second row, rise and leave. You’ll be shot.
(Ovation, shouts: ‘Hail great Stalin!’)
Stalin: So who sneezed?
A man rises in the back row, shaking: It was me, sorry…
Stalin: No big deal. Bless you, comrade!
Putin: Who made this robot?
Could have won the day if he’d renamed it “Sleepy Joe” on the spot.
Good catch.. I always wondered how the installed imbecile ended up.

search still works.

Drunk as a monkey.
Ivan: Who stole my bottle of lunch vodka?!
Boris: Not I. I have my own bottle. Yours is cheap sh!t. Mine is Gray Goose.
Igor: What? Do I look that desperate for a drink?! I have two lunch bottles!
Robot: *Hic.*
