Actually the "robot" in the video's preview-pic looks less like a sentient parking meter than the posited inspiration for #Pimpbot5000 looks like a sentient valet stand (for a pimp.) On closer inspection, robot in preview looks like it was fashioned out of rogue coin-op observation binoculars:

I hadn't realized that the creator of #Pimpbot5000, Brian Reich, had passed away since the 25th anniversary of that creation, & moreover on the anniversary of its debut: 9/12/2022. Interviewed by 2 other ex-Conan writers at the end of 2021, the line "there will always be a Bob Saget" is uttered; RIP

Seen out of context, this is less coherent than most music videos from the era. #BrigitteNielsen #Stallone #Sledgehammer #FashionShoot #SentientParkingMeter #Cobra1986 #Pimpbot5000

Solemn anniversary to be marked in NYC this weekend: #Pimpbot5000 was debuted to the world 30 years ago, on 9/12/1996—alongside various other characters, most of whom would never appear again. 😔
