Robot Anne Sullivan is teaching Robot Helen Keller to speak.

But that's Family Guy, no? Not Futurama?

Stewie plays Marco Polo with the flesh and blood Helen Keller in a flashback, but I think the robot one is Futurama.

Yeah, it was Family Guy. At least it was from when Family Guy was mostly just a lazy grab-bag of jokes instead of the lazy grab-bag of utterly terrible jokes and annoying self-references that it is today.

no, it's futuruama.. the helen keller part in family guy is
when stewie is playing "marco polo" with her in the pool..

Which makes me laugh every time...don't care for Futurama as much, but maybe that's because I never got into it.

I'm usually too busy watching sports, or whatever reality TV show the current girl of the minute can get her hands on...

Yeah, Futurama is one of those shows that was underappreciated while being broadcast because it wasn't as "jump in and watch"-friendly. You can watch it randomly and some of the episodes will be very funny and stand completely on their own, but sometimes you just have to have seen enough of the show to know what is really going on. Once you do that, a lot of stuff fits into place and it gets funnier as well. Like, if you didn't see the episode where the head of Richard Nixon took Bender's body and ran for president, it might not be as funny when you see Richard Nixon's Head as president of earth. Which was also hilarious, for what it's worth:

Nixon's Head: And so, ladies and gentlemen, I'm throwing my head into the ring. I'm announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of Earth.
Scoop Chang, Beijing Bugle: Sir, the Constitution clearly states that nobody can be elected President more than twice.
Nixon's Head: That's right ... no body. But as you can plainly see, I've got a shiny new body. [Performs a dance]

Oh christ, I was overthinking it. I didn't realize that Robot Helen Keller wasn't speaking binary the whole time. Okay, now it's funnier.

That may have been my fault. I wasn't sure how one would write gibberish in binary.

At first, I thought maybe 11111111 or 00000000, but I figure that means something in binary.

I debated using some 2s and 3s, but in the show the robot is actually speaking "Helen Keller"-ese or whatever you call that. So I made my best attempt at it.

I couldn't find a youtube vid to post, so I just wrote out the quote. In the show, Robot Anne is pumping water on Robot Helen's hands, so it's a much clearer direct parody of the play/movie.

Probably NSFW, so you've been warned. This seems like as good a place as any to post this.

Hoof and all, that is one very sexy woman.

The Daily Show Crowd would cheer and applaud if John Stewart vomited all over them. It went from an Onion-esque show, to a show that just ripped on all of politics with reckless abandon, to now trying to have some point. I liked the second incarnation best. I'm liking it less and less. It's still okay, but I think it's getting shoved up it's own but a little. And I hate that crowd.
