[Gray]

MAN DOWN! MAN DOWN!

You know they're not gonna live that one down. Fear the power of The Stairs™. It applies to women AND robots.

[Jon]

XD! Well, at least we have a long way to go before robots are like the ones in the movie Irobot.

[Magami No ER]

Heh, we may have a scenario as predicted in that Discovery channel program "2057" (last week) years beyond that date.
They were dissing the capabilities of Asimo a bit in the "city life" special. XP

...stairs are the enemy. you have been warned. they're a threat to national security.

[Leader Desslock]

:lol:

I'm laughing aloud just at the title of this thread. Oh, I hope the video does it justice... Hahahaha...

*watches video*

Oh, that would've been funnier if:

1) The stairs had been a stairwell. Something where it could bounce All. The. Way. Down.

2) Asimo had screamed "AAAGH!!! MY LEG!!! IT'S BROKEN!! GODS, NO!!!! AAAAGH! FETCH THE DOCTOR!!! I WANT TO DIE!!!" from behind the curtain.

Now we wait for "Asimov had one weakness... Stairs" too appear on YTMND.com
EDIT: ahh, its old news, its been done already

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...oh yeah. but it gets old. oh well, back to the drawing board.

methinks Asimo had one too many drinks before this.

[Soluzar]

Several decades after the Daleks, and roboticists are still making the same mistakes. Oh when will you learn, you crazy roboticists, you?

[Gray]

He just comes to some kind of a dead stop and falls into a half fetal position and his head smacks on the ground, you can just here those millions of dollars breaking against the floor. I think he needed a helmet and kneegaurds D:

[RamenBoy]

I lol'd at the part where the dude had to place those walls to cover it up.

xD Like what he was doing was some big secret, or maybe he wanted to hide their disgrace? After all they just showed thier prize product incapable of even walking up a few stairs to millions of people.

[GreatNekoKoneko]

...(officer Barbrady comes in)

move along now, nothing to see here.

see? robots fall of stairs ALL THE TIME.

[CrossboneGundam]

Well, people fall down the stairs all the time. Consider this another step toward accurately emulating humans.

The way I imagined it, the Asimo would sound like the Tachikomas from Ghost in the Shell: SAC. :lol:

[Delta-Pheonix]

ASOMO NOO!, should have been looking at where it was going though XD

[Haro!]

I lol'd at the part where the dude had to place those walls to cover it up.

I think they shot Asimo behind that wall.

[miko hanyou]

I'm laughing my butt off after watching this video. The robot landed head first.

[Bernard_Monsha]

Asimo is doing homage to Gerald Ford.

[goddessofanime]

So much for the future.

[Daishikaze]

He should have been using handrails,Safety on the stairway, they invented those for a reason.
