... the way the robot applause at the talk show stopped "instantly" rather than trailing off the way human applause does. Then again, I'm a sucker for jokes about how robot culture approximates human culture.

That was a pretty good gag, but I think it would have been better if all the robots had applauded synchronously.

That scene had me rolling. As soon as Calculon said there was no setup needed, I knew it was going to be hilarious...
