Not only have I heard variations on this joke before pixar, back when home computers were just beginning to be a thing, but I suspect it was already old when my grandparents were young.
Yeah, I know Frank and Ser, I suspected as much, I had seconds thoughts but then I thought “Aw screw it, someone’s gonna say it so it might as well be me.” And they still said they were the last two and then said there was one more so, that’s bad story telling.
I’m guessing Hullcrusher Prime awaits the winner on the *other* side of the door. (Unlike on Robot Wars, where the House Robots just lurked in a corner and pulverised anything that got too close.)
Heaven…Robot Heaven…
Just right here and now the future’s looking bleak.
And I can’t knock down the exit that I seek,
When we’re here together, fighting cheek to cheek
Heaven…Robot Heaven…
You’re a newer model, I’m an old antique!
Now you tell me that we’re really up the creek,
When we’re here together fighting cheek to cheek
Oh, they loved me back in Akron,
In my miniature physique.
But it wasn’t like this robot cage,
And fighting cheek to cheek.
Oh, I loved to go rampaging,
I had marvelous technique.
But I got a greater techno thrill
While fighting cheek to cheek.
Break the door!
Your hammer hand can do it!
There’s nothing to it!
You can take us through it to…
Heaven…Robot Heaven…
We can make it, Hattie, you aren’t very weak.
We can get on through as long as we’re not meek.
As long as we keep fighting cheek to cheek.
You know that song on YouTube? The “I Ship It” song? That’s me and these robots. If they don’t end the series married with at least two robot babies my heart will be crushed. Crushed like Moustashio in the last comic. DON’T CRUSH MY HEART 🙁
“One(1)” is a good start, but I’d like to see Hitty speak those proprietary 0x80-0xff range graphics characters that could be used to make crude text-based drawings and games on PCs circa 1980.
Hey! You stole that joke from Pixar’s second Inside Out teaser! And you said before that they were the only two left!
I’m preeetty sure the joke is older than that

If one is going to steal,steal from the best!
I don’t like to say steal,that sounds so lower class. I refer to say borrow for an indefinite time.
;>)
Foot?
Nope, he’s still reporting.
They’ll be fine. Hullcrusher Prime is the first, and everyone knows not to put your faith in version 1.0.
you know, having a hammer for a hand makes you pretty rugged
And here we get yet more evidence for the combining robots theory.
Wait, why did Hitty hit Moustachio again?
Because they’re the only two robots left in this arena, and there can only be one winner.
(We all know where this is going, but the fun part will be seeing the characters realize it.)

This looks like a job for Evil!Mustachio
I think his evilspring is in his body not his head
Evil finds a way
You’ll never get to Robot Heaven with that attitude, Hattie.
From “Dancing Cheek to Cheek.”

Good on you, Robert! I have two albums from Taco, including this and Puttin’ on the Ritz.
Well, I know it from Fred Astaire, but Frank Sinatra’s name popped up when I Google-searched for the lyrics…
Hullcrusher Prime, eh? Sounds like someone amenable to reason…
MustacHitty Combine!!!
Must-Hitty?
Hitstachio? …no. that sounds a bit wrong.
Like an assassin pistachio.
Sounds a little slapdashio.

Careful with that joke, it’s an antique….
