Votey:
A robot (resembling R2-D2) emits a speech bubble of binary code: "01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01110100 01101111 01101111 00111111 00100001" (which decodes to: "you too?!")

A five-panel SMBC comic about humans fighting robots. Panel 1: A man in a green cap hides behind a rocky ridge with a dark-haired woman, saying the robots have risen up to destroy humanity and can't be stopped because they have perfect intelligence and perfect memory. Panel 2: The woman asks, "Perfect memory, you say?" and the man replies, "Yes, why?" Panel 3: She declares, "Cover me! I'm going out!" Panel 4: She stands triumphantly atop the ridge with arms raised, shouting at the robots, "Remember that one embarrassing thing you did one time?!" Panel 5: A giant yellow robot recoils in anguish, screaming "NOOOOOOOO" the joke being that perfect memory means robots can never forget their own embarrassing moments. Votey: A small R2-D2-like robot replies in a speech bubble of binary code that decodes to "you too?!", turning the embarrassment back on the human.
