AIBU to find repeated Sue Sue Sue comments on Ann Droid boring now

107 replies

In every discussion about the TV comedy Ann Droid there are numerous posters writing "Sue Sue Sue".

We've just had episode 4 and it's not been said since the very beginning of the second episode and doesn't feature anymore yet everyone is writing it on posts. AIBU to find it boring now? The show has moved on and it's funny enough.

I stopped watching it after the first episode, because the "Sue Sue Sue" was so grating.

The joke isn't funny either: the three words aren't inherently amusing together, "dumb robot taking things too literally" is a trope, and the set up makes no sense: why would her friend bellow" SUE SUE SUE" into the robots face when asked for a name? If she didn't hear the first time, then the joke might work better, but she just goes straight for it.

And yes, I am fun at parties.

It stopped after the first episode. That's why I don't get why people go on and on about it.

Very enjoyable.

Spoiler alert!

Is Michael going to fall in love with the "intercourse" doll?

I haven't watched an episode. The few adverts were enough to make it clear it would be absolute shite!

I would not have watched it based on the trailers but DH watched the first two episodes and recommended it so we watched it all and loved it - he's very picky so it was unusual he liked it.
And Sue Sue Sue is funny, it just is. Doesn't matter she only says it a few times, I've had to sit through people saying "pivot!" for years and that's only in one episode of Friends

I tried watching it but couldn’t get through episode 1. I thought it was really bad, especially the bloke from Motherland. Does it get better? I might give it another go.

I'd give it a go. The adverts really undersell the programme - it is much funnier than they suggest. I wouldn't have watched based on the ads alone but two episodes in and I loved it. (Am now in my third rewatch of the whole series and SueSueSue makes me smile.)

HandPulledNoodles · 09/08/2026 08:50

I loved it. Sweet, poignant. Obviously you wanted to slap the son but I think thats the point.

TheSmellOfSea · 09/08/2026 08:49

Poldark 🤣 that gave me a laugh.

MrsFaustus · 09/08/2026 08:48

Thought it was quite poignant and gently funny. Good cast.

Junegirl15 · 09/08/2026 08:43

I loved it! Wasn’t sure when I saw it advertised but love the actors so thought I would give it a go. Funny and sad at the same time. Weirdly I was disappointed they stopped saying Sue Sue Sue…..

ThatWasGreek · 09/08/2026 08:29

New people are discovering it, stop reading the threads if it’s bothering you. It’s been ever this that people hold on to funny lines from television and repeat them.

Chill out

I liked it, something a bit different and made me smile

Headinthecloudsfeetontheground · 09/08/2026 08:08

I've been surprised by the rave reviews. I admire both lead actresses but decided after watching episode 1 that it wasn't for me. I just found it too silly and unrealistic.

I’ve just realised it’s not Aiden Turner, must be the moustache but I honestly thought Michael was played by Aiden…

The adverts are rubbish. The show is great as a gentle, at times poignant comedy. I really enjoyed it.

DeftGoldHedgehog · 09/08/2026 07:42

Also in the programme I don't think it's used after episode one? I didn't notice it anyway.

DeftGoldHedgehog · 09/08/2026 07:40

I've seen precisely one person online saying SueSueSue.

I'm saving it up for my friend Sue when I see her though 😆

MyLeftArmpit · 09/08/2026 07:40

I really wanted to like this show but I thought it was a 💩 💩

Ratherhaveacupofteaandabiscuit · 09/08/2026 07:34

I loved it.
Avoided watching at first because I thought it would be silly nonsense but in fact it actually made me laugh, which is a rarity these days.
By the end I found myself wishing I could have a robot carer.

madaboutpurple · 09/08/2026 07:24

I am enjoying it. I laugh a lot it is so funny. I'm hoping for a second series already.

Cherrysoup · 09/08/2026 07:14

I am finding it quite funny. Agree that Michael Is extremely annoying, wet lettuce!

I haven't seen the adverts but have watched it and enjoyed it.

From everything I read it's a massive hit, I've seen very few negative comments about it, definitely non saying it was shite

JMSA · 09/08/2026 03:25

Michael was the most annoying character ever to appear on TV. I enjoyed Ann Droid but he ruined it, to an extent (he and his stupid wife).
