Androboi

Androboi, via Korea's SK Telecom, pisses, belches, and farts to convince you to buy Android phones in Korea.

(Androboi also rides the subway and does other stuff in Seoul)

I also can generate a urine stream so powerful that it can function as an ASAT weapon.

Also, just to get it out of the way:

Android sux

Korea has a proud tradition of unbelievably strong urine streams. This ornate gift box contained a delicious bottle of Korean blackberry wine, and boy let me tell you how many times I had to ring the plumber while living there...

I love the fact that about 50% of the most useful Android apps are developed for the Korean market.

I wouldn't have led with pisses, but that's just me.

No, he's from Google, so he must be American. That's why the music references San Francisco. He's one of those free and easy west coast bots.

Free as in beer pee.

I don't mean your head-head. I'm not gonna piss on your head, your hair and all, I'm just gonna piss in the toilet. Y'all take a listen, you'll hear the deep sound comin' down from Bobby Peru Androboi.

Is than an SK Telecom logo on the front of his body or a stylized pair of briefs?

One of the things I love most about Korean films and TV dramas is their obsession with bowels and shitting. When I was a kid, it really used to annoy me that nobody ever took a shit on TV programmes or in the movies. In Korean stuff though, people seem to do little else!

You know, it's taken seeing it accompanied by (to my uneducated ears) what could be mistaken for a Japanese voiceover to make me realise that the Android android is just one of the karaoke robots from Space Channel 5 Part 2. Nice to know they found a new career.
