Robots might do amazing work, but they’re a long, long way from what humans want them to be. They have clunky arms. They stumble. They fall down stairs. They can’t perform simple tasks that humans do every day without even thinking. And when our highly intelligent robots flunk, there’s only one thing for us to do: laugh! For some reason, a robot fail is just way too funny!

In one of the Internet’s favorite robot fail videos, a robot with clamp-like hands tries to fold towels. The bot picks a towel up. It twists the towel’s edges around for a while. Then it holds the towel in each hand for a few seconds. It lays the towel out on a table. It tries to fold it in half, but fails. Finally—after many extra steps—the bot gets it right. Then it starts the long process over again with a towel it has never seen.

In another beloved robot fail, a robot rolls over to a hot dog with a bottle of ketchup. The robot seems to be thinking hard. It gives its ketchup-dispensing wheels a good crank, then splat! It squirts ketchup in a steady stream, totally missing the hot dog. The ketchup spills over the edge of the plate. But the robot goes on spitting it out. Then a second ketchup robot speeds toward another hot dog on the table. This robot falls face-first into the hotdog and sprays the ketchup in exactly the wrong direction, all the way past the edge of the table! And guess what you hear in the background? That’s right: people laughing.

Robots just don’t have the same grace people do. They often don’t know how to respond to unpredictable situations. Their intelligence comes from programming. Every time a robot opens a door or walks along rough land without falling down, you are seeing the fruits of very hard programming work. It makes you wonder at God’s creativity. He made people—towel-folding, ketchup-squeezing people—just by speaking!
