[@MrEjidorie]

I love robots. They may look old-fashioned by today`s standard, but that`s why they are so cool.

[@LuxuryGoat1]

Great...although one of your clips (around 3.00) is even earlier, 1918 - The Master Mystery was a serial starring Houdini, and here we see Q the Automaton - a few years before the term 'robot' had been coined. Oh, and fab music!

What everyone expected 2020 to look like in 1960s

[@johnpetty9310]

While I'm not old enough to have seen KRONOS back when it First came out, IT STILL scared the 🤖🥺💩💩💩💩 CRAP outta me seeing it as a 10 or 11 year old when i saw it on CREATURE FEATURE or CHILLER THEATER . But after I've seen again as a grown up i think KRONOS is one of the KOOLEST robots 🤖 ever made.

[@Ron4885]

Me too. I remember watching it and seeing it stomp on people and the sound it made while walking. Very cool. 2😉

[@robertszymanski717]

To me, a robot with Death Ray Eyes Is a must! As a kid back then I enjoyed watching the ole classics! I still do!

[@MrStonelion63]

Gort has been favorite since I watched "The Day the Earth Still" on an old black and white TV when I was 5 years old.

[@alerey4363]

very good selection and video editing with a great background score that suits the theme perfectly!

[@johninmoapa8355]

Gort and Robby are still the best Bots ever!

[@fonziebulldog5786]

They all die when the electric cord doesnt reach any further.

[@hydrolito]

Zeroids, Rockem Sockem robots, Voyage to bottom of the Sea Submarine, Lost in Space flying saucer, robot and cyclops toys came out in 1960's.

[@edgross6554]

A lot of fun , and the music was great.

[@markbishop4774]

The one that comes through the window 0.58 is very much like Maximilian from the black hole....

[@tonysantiago255]

@ Mark Bishop- That's the Robot Scout from Target Earth. Another entertaining 50s classic.

[@walterfechter8080]

That robot from "Devil Girl From Mars" reminds me of an old-style gasoline pump. I still have to laugh whenever I see that Spy Vs Spy robot from "The Mysterians." Gort is my fave 'bot. Kronos reminds me of some kind of experimental stereo system from the 1950s. Robby from "The Forbidden Planet" should have been included. Likewise for The Robinson's robot (B-9) from "Lost In Space."

[@alfredosantana8995]

The robot from the Mysterians was reused in Heiswi era Godzilla movies, it"s called M.O.G.U.E R.A...

[@stainlesssteelfox1]

Maybe because they weren't automatic assholes?

[@dmk7700]

Loved that you ended it with KRONOS - the ultimate ass kicking robot from 1957.

[@IvorPresents]

kronos at the end was a favorite, Glad to see Gog, and the Mysterians, Missing was the king of the robots, Robby. Tobor, Colossus and the Phantom Creeps were all fun.as was Roman from Robot Monster.

[@Ron4885]

I sill put on *The Earth Dies Screeming* every once and a while for fun. 😂

[@ScreamingScallop]

2:29 L’Uomo Meccanico (The Mechanical Man) 1921 3:12 Kronos, 1957 "New petitions against tax"???

[@Setebos]

I know. I absolutely love it when a newspaper in a SF or horror film screams about disaster, and just below the headline there's a column dealing with something like "State Senate Rejects Farm Relief Bill".

[@formisfunction1861]

LOL! Priceless!

[@olegn6433]

4. Robot Monster (1953)

[@colinmclean3560]

Ro-man! Classic cheese.

[@keithneale3055]

Where is the “Metropolis “ robotrix?

[@Setebos]

Good catch.

[@MaskedMan66]

Futura is her name.

[@peterelekes2328]

Amazing!

[@AngelofDeath1431]

Unfortunately, the robot (Maria) from Metropolis (1927) and the Daleks (Doctor Who, 1963) were not included in this list. I find this an unconscionable act of omission! Rectify immediately!!!

[@jamest1148]

I know it came out in the 80's, but remember the ED 209 from Robocop? The robot that was defeated by stairs?

[@scootergreen3]

The guitar leads are Fantastic!

[@AgedTeen]

Loved the soundtrack to this and I wanna hear more of your compositions! (I read your answer to a previous comment about it)...

[@OldGretscher]

Hello! TY so much for your comment! Sorry, but I don't have any music "out there" as I do most of my writing for music libraries. Thanks again!

[@AgedTeen]

Got it! I'll keep listening to it watching this video then! Have a great day!

[@Aprocrisin]

2:16 this is my spirit animal

[@whatever3132]

1:07 "OH MY GOD THE ROBOT'S COMING TO KILL US..........Oh, alright then."

[@oryjen]

Painfull thoughts for all the miserables sweating actors inside those ridiculous cartboard suits.

[@lawrencemiller3829]

0:24 The actors time traveled To The Future and learned about the Baldwin incident. They decided everyone involved would check the gun before filming this scene. The person in the robot prop did a double check. /joke, and a good idea going forward

[@jackilynpyzocha662]

They were scary then, so were computers!

[@OldGretscher]

Absolutely!

[@ironjade]

What about the hopeless cowboy robots from The Phantom Empire?

[@TheSmalltownhick]

Now do TV robots.

[@mydogbrian4814]

- Oh yes. "Santa Clause Conquers The Matians" Where Pia Esadora made her movie debut as a youngster. And later married a billionare & became a hot item in Playboy & Hollywood. - But quickly became just another flash in the pan hottie. Any of you remember her?

[@OldGretscher]

Ironically, my friend was working with her (in Las Vegas) up until Covid hit....

[@mydogbrian4814]

@@OldGretscher - Wow, she was still working intertaining ? Goody for her!

[@carltonpoindexter2034]

She was actually a good actress as was the B-movies Yvette Vickers. They obviously did not sleep with Harvey Weinstein and become big immoral stars like the rest of Hollywood.

[@mydogbrian4814]

@@carltonpoindexter2034 Not familiar with Y. Vickers but probably seen her in B movies. There are quite a few good looking Babes back then that were never able to make a big splash in Hollywood thru no fault of their own. The Dean Martin; Matt Helm mivie series spy girls comes to mind.

[@Enshohma]

Despite the fact that I am a HUGE Kronos fan and defender, I still enjoyed this video - what's the song you're using here BTW?

[@OldGretscher]

TY! I wrote this piece of music and made the video around it.

[@Cybjon]

Yeah that reveal shot of Kronos at the end is pretty awesome.

[@tonysantiago255]

@ Enshohma- There's nothing to feel defensive about. Kronos is a way cool design in it's simplicity and period look and could squash any of these other robots. Except maybe Gort. Gort is BAD in the best way. And it's a terrifically entertaining movie as well.

[@walterfechter8080]

And...The Robot on the Toilet from the old Late Night with Conan O'Brien shows.

[@OldGretscher]

Ha! Def in the Best/worst category!

[@lisavelasquez7869]

🙏

[@christhornton1785]

Some of those were really terrible. All movie robots are judged by how good Gort and Robbie were, which I guess is not fair.

[@MaskedMan66]

I don't see any "worst" in here.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

Anyone notice how they used to call them "Robuts" back in the day?

[@helloimRupert]

How is the music actually making them cool

[@luciusscaevolus8616]

👏👏👏👏

[@dflf]

Where was Robbie from Forbidden Planet?

[@OldGretscher]

This was the best of the Worst....didnt think Robbie should be included. ;)

[@jimcipriano5322]

What about robby?

[@majorneptunejr]

the best are missing ,like Robby , Gort and the Metropolis robot

[@0000syuable]

「マリア」や「ロビー」が入っていない事にビックリして書き込みました！ 何らかの条件外だったのかしら？例えば「チープなロボットたち」とか？ でも、それは違うなあ。「ゴート」が入っているのだから。 何でだろう？

[@francismcwilliams9833]

Anyone can grasp video power - but can you make it shtick?

[@louismolywacky634]

ヤッパリ日本のヤツがカッコイイな。 : )

[@pedade02]

Great to see these old robots, choice of your music very bad and does not match at all.
