20 Questions Part 242

[Wattsthematter]

mwgi's question would be question 20

[Jamiet99uk]

Free guess: Cleatus the Football Robot

Not sure if he’s definitively a robot or something else… if someone pipes up about this before hominidae answers, please let me know.

He literally has the word "robot" in his name.

[Spartaculous]

Does it have some robotic part?

Yes, though one could argue since he is a cgi mascot, he isn’t exactly a robot

That would be utterly nonsensical semantic silliness. We know this entity is fictional. By your suggested interpretation, Bender is not a robot, R2-D2 is not a robot, Wall-E is not a robot. Similarly, Tom is not a cat, Jerry is not a mouse, Foghorn Leghorn is not a bird, Porky is not a pig, Daffy Duck is not a duck, etcetera.

This would be ludicrous.

Not Cleatus.

(Passed questions do not count towards the 20.)

Does it have some robotic part?

No.

Free Guess:

Astro Boy

This was originally in a conditional depending on my (as of yet unanswered) question, but:
Free guess: Von Neumann Probes

That's why I'm guessing Astro Boy.

I don't think this means that it can't be the character of a cartoon or something. I think the response is referring to the character in regards to its setting.

Astro Boy was not created (in story) as an entertainer. But then he got sold off to the circus and became an entertainer.

Von Neumann probes aren't known to exist outside of conspiracy theories, but are unrelated to entertainment.

This lead me down the Von Neumann rabbit hole... I don't think I've ever heard of such prodigious level of intelligence

Edward Teller: "von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us."

I tried looking for a crossover Clippy/Gladiator meme, but couldn't.

Another excellent pick by the QM.

Umm... my guess was Von Neumann probes
