Ah, yes, HK-47 is also up there for personality and amusing factor, but seeing as how he's also the robotic version of a dangerous psychopath, and installing a morality chip in him just makes him creeeeepy, he's not technically a robot you'd want to pal around with.
Not sure why people want human-like robots. Chances are they wouldn't have the features to accommodate human lust, but if they did, it would probably be really uncomfortable. Maybe electrocution uncomfortable. Plus, any equipment malfunction is going to be potentially deadly with a robotic companion as opposed to merely inconvenient with a regular human.

I agree with Byte, too many chances for something to malfunction there, I don't understand why people want to do that either Byte.
But I still think Data's line about being fully functional in multiple techniques is one of my favorites, it makes me laugh hard every time.

Hello,
Not my favorite, but worth a mention:
Also Chris, I like the version of robbie from Forbidden Planet better. The large head dome is much more interesting than the bulbous pod.

What about Marvin I ask?
There he is, brain the size of a planet and you can't even give him the small dignity of including him on your miserable little list of "favorite robots". Favorite? Hah. If humans cared so much about robots they wouldn't program them with "Genuine People Personalities" and then forget to enable the happiness module, nor would they make them fifty thousand times more intelligent than Stephen Fry and then ask them to park cars or pick small bits of paper off the floor. They might even do something about the terrible pain in all the diodes down their left hand side.
I think you ought to know that Marvin is probably feeling very depressed. I hope he's somewhere in a bar sharing a bottle of Old Fortran with Bender - who has an orthodontically inadvisable suggestion to put to whoever left him of the list, too.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
