I Give Up: Mr. Stabby, The Robot That Stabs

Note: Video is after the jump because you can and will evacuate your bowls. Seriously, now there's cereal everywhere.

I know I promised I'd be the hero of the robotic apocalypse and save humanity and father thousands millions of children, but I'm getting tired of this shit.
