TikTokA humanoid known as the ‘Rizzbot’ has been going pretty viral on TikTok over the last few weeks, and along with roasting people, it can also throw decent punches. Seriously.
If you’ve scrolled TikTok for long enough in the last few weeks, chances are you’ve come across the ‘Rizzbot’ at some point. The humanoid, whose full name is actually Jake The Rizzbot, has previously gone viral for tackling sets of stairs in ways robots haven’t usually managed to do.
However, it’s not just his impressive movement that has earned him 1.6 million followers on TikTok. As the name implies, the ‘Rizzbot’ is able to talk, and regularly gets a few million views whenever he roasts somebody in public.
The robot, which is produced by Unitree Robotics, has been traveling around the United States, visiting New York, Hollywood, and Austin, Texas, too.
What is Rizzbot?
No matter where he goes, the ‘Rizzbot’ finds people who are taken aback by his skills and roasts. And, well, rude attitude and his now iconic little cackle too.
One video from September 12 gained over 31 million views after the robot ran away from it’s handlers, approached two women, told them to “shut up” and proceeded to walk away as Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre’s ‘Still D.R.E.’ played in the background.
Additionally, a September 20 video racked up almost five million views as the ‘Rizzbot’ showed off his punching ability.
The robot was asked to throw hands by a man and, after a few seconds, managed to throw up a guard. He then proceeded to throw a jab at the man in, who was pretty impressed by it. “Oh, you can throw ‘em up!” he yelled. “Oh s*it, I don’t want no smoke!”

Viewers were also blown away by what they’d seen. “Alright, Rizz got hands,” one said. “nah!!! The jab was crazy. I can’t breathe,” another added.
The humanoid is available to buy from Unitree Robotics for around $16,000. However, you won’t get the full ‘Rizzbot’ setup, seeing as he has been kitted out by an anonymous handler.
While the handler is behind the camera in the viral videos, they haven’t come forward, despite Rizzbot’s fame.
