Sweden’s Simone Giertz has made a career out of making robots that are seemingly designed to do a singular function, but are really made to only kind of do that one function in the quest to bring joy to all. 

Giertz has a very popular YouTube channel where you can see a drone try to cut hair, a robot that can argue with the Internet, and more.

This week, she got to show off her wares to Stephen Colbert and The Late Show and it was a whole bunch of fun.

You’ll also be surprised to know that CBS censors curse words in foreign languages.

Lowe’s is employing robots to help customers find their way through their hardware and home supplies store. It’s an added perk for sure when looking for the right type of bolts and screws, but the team at Last Week Tonight with John Oliver thinks that customer service at such places is much more dependent on the human element than simple knowledge of tools, gardening, etc.

So, with the help of Nick Offerman, H. Jon Benjamin, and Sarah Baker, Last Week Tonight made up this ad for Home Depot that shows that their sales representatives are best put to use when dealing with couples whose relationship is going off the rails.

Watch it here.
