Seriously, this thread has made it this far without anyone offering up the “manual inflation nozzle” possibility?
Erm, yes? The police report would certainly be different.
In one example its “A big naked guy mugged me and stole my clothes” and just another day on the job for officer McShooty. In the other example its “This big guy stole my clothes but get this, he was totally naked and had no ass or dick, there was nothing there at all, it was creepy as fuck!!”.
Clair Danes was in Terminator 3. Clair Dames (whom I can not provide a link to on this board) is a porn star. Feel free to check out her anatomical correctness with a google search.
To answer your original question, the T-800 series Terminator was meant to resemble human form. It was an endoskeletal robot with a living skin exterior and no ability to reshape its body, unlike the T-1000 with a liquid skin exterior.
Obviously the purpose was to make the T-800 series robots with living skin to appear to be human. With that purpose in mind, why wouldn’t they give the Arnold Terminator a cock and balls? Why give him skin? Why give him hair? Why give him eyebrows? Why give him fingernails? Why give him eyeballs? All equally ridiculous questions.
Whether “Claire Dames” was an honest mistake or not, this thread seems like a sophomoric contraption to me.
“Why would you put a wiener on a robot?”
Because the robot is an incredibly complex machine built by a highly advanced artificial intelligence to completely replicate an organic human being of the male gender. Seems pretty self evident to me. But then again, you made it clear you don’t give a shit about the movie that you couldn’t be bothered to watch. Why do you give a shit whether the robot has a dick or not?
Police report? The only police report was “Three dead punks found in a park. One naked.”
I didn’t say anything against the movie. I enjoyed it well enough when it came out; I just didn’t have time to watch it the other day and wasn’t sure whether it was the third or fourth in the series. As for Dames vs Danes–that was just a typo.
That said, I didn’t intend for this thread to be taken seriously. I ENCOURAGED silly answers, partly because the topic itself is ridiculous (the scene I alluded to was clearly meant to be comic) and partly because most of my CS threads are jokey. I come to CS to play.
Lighten up, folks. I’ve learned some things from this thread. First of all, I’ve learned that there’s a porn star named Clair Dames! (After all, the “M” and “N” keys are right next to each other.)
It’s “Lighten up, FRANCIS.”
As an average homophobic hetero guy I’ll just say that: Being that he’s completely flaccid in those shots and still fairly ‘ample’, I’d say that my original opinion is incorrect. ***He has an enormous schvensticker!
I joined a survivalist community a little while back. This explains a lot.
Now you’ve made me remember the Bayformer version of Devastator having giant wrecking balls for, well, balls…
Despite the spittle spraying attitude of my post, I wasn’t too serious about it. Though “why does the robot have a weiner?” is pretty a pretty sophomoric question. And you did seem to paint the Terminator series with disdain: “I didn’t watch long because I didn’t care enough”
That coupled with the Claire Dames reference made me wonder if you were fishing from a moving boat with lures down, so I bit with equal zeal. The question is pretty silly in context of the Terminator universe, though.
I HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY, advise you to watch the first Terminator. It is a masterpiece of film, tense and without a wasted scene while being not only the pinnacle of action and thrillers but also scifi and time travel movies. Not only a great thriller, but smart too.
The second movie also comes highly recommended, but I personally dislike it since it shits on the perfection of plot the first movie presents.
And sorry for my serious answer, but it really is obvious in the context of even the first one why terminators have penii.
I’ve seen all four–the second and the one with Dames in theatres, the other two on tv. The first one I saw was the one is with Robert Patric, which came out when I was in college; I really enjoyed it, and consequently I tend to take it as the standard. The Danes one was good; one thing that stands out for me is the big car chase, which I recall being much better done than a similar scene in one of the MATRIXes. Oh, and the female terminator was my favorite niece’s favorite movie character for YEARS.
Philip K who?
Of course it’s ridiculous. Reese explains why robots look like humans in a very important scene in the first movie. But it’s Skald. so…
First, I haven’t seen the first one in 20 years or so, and then on video. I don’t recall thhat scene; I’m sure I didn’t watch every scene and study it. Forgive me for not recalling every detail.
Second, it’s a JOKE THREAD. The thread title asks posters to be silly while leaving room for serious answers. Plenty of other people got that immediately. I’d say more on why you seem not to but the Rhymer Rules for Posting prohibit me from investing the board with emotional weight.
Fine, it’s a joke thread. That doesn’t change the fact that Terminators being able to COMPLETELY pass for human is a huge part of the movie. It’s right there in the premise. It’s like asking why Indiana Jones knows so much about biblical artifacts.
Indiana Jones knows so much about biblical artifacts because he’s an archeologist who knows a lot about biblical artifacts. Terminators are robots who look like humans because they are robots who look like humans.
Don’t accuse another poster of trolling – however obliquely phrased and presented as a hypothetical – outside of the Pit.
Thanks,

You are taking this way too seriously. I suspect you don’ have enough banana splits in your diet.
Studies show that insufficient banana split consumption leads to degeneration of the facetiousness lobe of the minor paramecium. Please, for your own sake, get to the nearest Dairy Queen as fast as you can.
I’ll be praying for you.
I really like the phrase “sophomoric contraption.” I’m pretty sure it doesn’t actually mean anything, but it sounds cool.
