Good Luck In The Pre-Ak-Ness, Barbaro!

Yes, thanks to all of you who have sent this in. Yes, NBC 10 has a robot talking Barbaro that you can talk to. Some have even in depth conversations with Barbaro. (Apparently, his favorite band is Pearl Jam.) At first, really, I didn’t think this was all that crazy — remember, this is the network that brought us Irresistible Ella, Dress the Weatherpeople Up in 80s Garb game and the People are Afraid of Clowns exposé.

Then, I asked him the question in the above screenshot, and got this reply:

I’ll try my best to win the Pre-Ak-Ness!

I mean, I don’t expect talkikng horses to have the best grammar, but you’d think they’d be able to pronounce the names of Triple Crown races. Is that too much to ask?

Oh, before you ask, if you type, “Say: ‘[x]‘” where [x] is any string of words, you can make Barbaro curse. Which is all you want to do anyway.

    Wow, ask Barbaro the meaning of life or life after death and he gets all religious on you… But he couldn’t tell me if horses go to heaven

    Why is Barbaro British?

    i totally can’t take this. i was brought up with action news and have always stuck with them, but between irresistible ella and the english barbaro i might have to change my loyalties, just for the trippiness that channel 10 is showing here.

    I asked him what it would be like to break his ankle and he replied, “That is a hypothetical question.” Poor fella…
