User blog:Diotoir the son of nemesis/10 Funniest Robot Wars Episodes



Robot Wars is filled with many types of episodes. Some are epic (Series 10: Grand Final), some are entertaining (Southern Annihilator), boring (Series 9 Heat C), bad (Series 7 Heat D), starts off well but disappoints (Series 7 Heat J) starts off poorly but gets better (Series 3 Heat K), weird ones (Extreme 1 Episode 11) and somewhere in the middle (your average episode). As you can see by the title, unless you're blind, this is about the "funniest" episodes of Robot Wars, y'know episodes that are downright hilarious throughout. But as one can expect humour is subjective, take this image below for example that I find quite funny.



To some this image is nothing more than a Series 9 "hero shot" but for me it also holds the element humour. Take the vague, awkward expressions on their faces, is as if they don't know where they are or that they know they're gonna die against Carbide. Or maybe it's the "drama" that most hero shots have and this one has...blank faces and small waves, no poses, no smiles, just blank faces. It's dull and awkward but for me I can't help but chuckle at it. That said others may not find it funny and may just see a "hero" shot.

So with that random example out of the way, I guess the next thing I should probably point out because most people ignore it or just get confused over simple concepts, this list is entirely my opinion! Therefore it is all subjective, I know it may go against some,who act like "Debbies" (I won't explain this random bit of Diotoir terminology unless asked) and prefer the same copy and pasted opinions from one Debbie to another, I am completely independent and not a slave to someone else's head and heart.

The second point, the list is a list NOT a ranking I must admit to finding it difficult to "rank" these so it's more or less 10 examples of the best in my eyes.

Thirdly, the episodes MUST be entertaining from beginning till end or at least 90% funny because simply judging the humour on one or two moments, for me doesn't really hold much value, for example if that were the case the Series 10 Grand Final would appear simply because of Nuts beating Carbide, Rapid catching fire and/or the rumble, leaving out MOST of the episode. (sorry World Series Episode 1)

Lastly, these won't be judge by the quality of an episode as if it were, once again something like Series 10's Grand Final could have appeared. Let's just say there are some "bad" episodes that will appear...but they're a humourous list for a reason!
