    It reminds me of the Lost In Space Robot from Masudaya that used a record player as well. He actually had a recording that laughs. I always enjoy your videos. It's fascinating to see how these things work. 😁

    ① Invader discovered and tracked
    ② Try receiving the laser beam
    ③Stop hitting me on the head
    i like walking
    ④Do you need anything?
    If I have nothing to do, I'll go.
    All dialogue is in Japanese.
    That's all for the dialogue, but I'm sorry if it's hard to understand as I'm using automatic translation.

      In this video, we will be talking in the order of ③①③② from 17:59
      The order seems to be random.
      These are the four lines written on the box, but in other people's videos, there was also one saying that he would be late for his appointment.
      There may be lines other than those written on the box, or there may be a difference in version.

      Well, that's not very funny. Still makes no sense why it's called the Laughing Robot.

      The product name in Japan is Talking Patrol Robot.
      Sold with a humorous image
      The tone is also humorous.
      The overseas version has a blue body and has the product name Laughing Robot.
      This one is also made by Yonezawa.
      It looks like it's just the laughter, not the lines.
      They probably sold it just on the laughs and audio.
      There seem to be many versions of this toy.

    If I designed that I would have tried to put the catch release mechanism at the bottom of the robot so when it hit something it started the player. You know, for maximum parental annoyance :)

    He is definetely not speaking German, that much I can tell you 🙂From the rhythm of the voice I would have thought maybe he is talking Italian or Spanish or something like that (which I don't speak), but I could not recognize anything he is saying. Perhaps it is just a phantasy-language / gibberish. Or some entirely different language that I have never heard of.

    maybe its not called laughing it could be screaming robot, because when JAPAN make a robot with a theme they tend too make its design fit said theme.
