"Meara was talking to this guy at the party and he was a total awkward robot and says he is best friends with his mom."

any situation that involves saying the wrong thing at the wrong time to tripping and falling in front of a huge crowd of people...all these situations call for the awkward robot
So I ran up to this kid and slapped his booty because I thought he was my friend...turns out I didn't know him. AWKWARD ROBOT!

Similiar to the awkward turtle, the awkward robot shows up when things are getting uncomfortable. Generally played by a third person witnessing the scene, the awkward robot moves their arms in a slow, mechanical, chopping motion while swaying from side to side. Bonus points for saying "Awkward Robot" in a robot voice.
