Guy goes to the doctor and the doctor says “well I have good news and bad news”.

Guy says “give me the good news first”.

The Doctor says “well, you’re going to have a disease named after you…”

They remind me of the buttons on the LiS robot.
Maybe when he presses them he starts waving his arms saying "DANGER! DANGER!"

Robby(ie?) the Robot is my favorite character from LiS, which also happens to be my favorite old-time TV show ever!

Robbie (or "Robby") was a different robot. He appeared in a number of movies and TV shows, originally in Forbidden Planet.

He did appear in an episode of Lost in Space.

He didn't have an "in universe" name; he was simply "the Robot".
His creator- designer (who was also the creator-designer of Robby **), Robert Kinoshita, named it Blinky, while the cast and crew called it The Dummy.

He also appeared in [original] Twilight Zone episode "Uncle Simon".

But as a Sherlock Holmes aficionado my favorite pic of him is this one.

Would that happen to be "The Battle of the Robots"? My favorite episode. 😃

While the archives of Gondor are silent on the criminal history of ducks, I suspect Denethor kept a similar volume hidden behind his tomato stash. It explains much about his temperament; one may not freely snack on solanum lycopersicum while contemplating duck-husbandry without losing one’s grip on the structural integrity of a root beer float (trust me, I have first-hand experience in the matter). If we cannot make them pay in coin, we shall make them pay in antique silence.
