The best joke was the Robot Hell.

"10 SIN" "20 GOTO HELL"

[WalterBright]

I loved the "blink once for yes, blink twice for no."

"He gave two yesses!"

"Look, he's emphatically blinking more yesses!"

Edit: The internet delivers again!

Here is a video for y'all. (It ends too soon but such is the weird balance we've found between fair use and copyright infringement.)

Length had nothing to do with fair use.

[philtar]

It does in the music world.

Is that what you meant to link to? It seems to be just a single frame from the episode.

There's text below if you're on mobile.

> - Do you understand the charges? - One beep for "yes," two beeps for "no."

When I wrote VB, ASP and VBA scrips my error handling statement was always:

  On Error Goto Hell

And then the last part of the routine has a block labeled "Hell:". One could use any label, but this seemed best to me -- when not using On Error Resume Next

Honestly, my favorite joke has been Billy West reading Trump quotes in Zapp Brannigan's voice on his YouTube channel.

Apparently they didn't have any programmers on staff.

[Taywee]

They probably knew enough to know that it wouldn't be a valid program, but it's the best compromise, being recognizable and still funny for the lay person. Any modification to it would make it distinctly less funny.

[amelius]

Why does the theorem need to be precise, whereas the program doesn't?

[Taywee]

Because the theorem itself isn't funny. The context is. If the theorem was funny but not accurate, I'd be defending that too. The show is a comedy first and foremost.

[batch12]

It is a joke throwing back to BASIC syntax. Jokes don't have to be precise.
