Rosie The Robot Maid



Rosey the Robot Maid is a humanoid robot fictional character in The Jetsons animated television series of the 1960s.[6] She is the title family's maid and housekeeper. Jean Vander Pyl provided the voice for Rosey. Rosey is depicted as wearing a frilly apron, and was often seen using a separate vacuum cleaner. Her torso is mounted atop a single leg and she rolls about on a set of caster wheels. She frequently calls George Jetson "Mr. J".

Rosey was an old demonstrator model hired by the Jetson family from U-RENT A MAID. In the episode "Rosey the Robot", her model number is revealed as XB-500.

In episode 12, Rosey compares her window spray to radioactive mist. It is the first time she makes reference to the future.

Rosey is modeled after Hazel from the TV show Hazel, a sitcom featuring Shirley Booth as a similar maid character. Just as Hazel called her boss, Mr. Baxter, "Mr. B", Rosey calls George Jetson "Mr. J".

In the episode "Rosey's Boyfriend," we learn that Rosey has a boyfriend, a helper for Henry Orbit, named Mac. When Rosey finds out Henry deactivated Mac, she goes crazy.

In 2006, Rosey appeared in an AT&T TV commercial, as part of a brief history of robots that dated back in 1939.

As of 2009, Rosey has been used in an Australian TV commercial; the commercial is for capes and other superhero clothing. Rosey appears as a super-robot wearing a bright red cape. She also appeared on a Kanye West music video.

She was spoofed in the Futurama movie Benders Game, with a robot that looked like her saying "Everything must be clean. Very clean. That's why the dog had to die. He was a dirty dog. Also that boy Elroy. Dirty. Dirty.
