Are you someone on the cusp of dropping serious £££ on a sex doll but is steering clear until they become programmed to crack jokes? It’s your lucky day.
Henry, the £8,000 sex robot with a ‘superhuman sexual performance’ also has an incredible sense of humour to boot.
The 6ft plastic adonis is also able to impress customers with romantic phrases, lyrics and love poems.
Rather amazingly, Henry is also able to welcome his owner into their home.
Depending on optional extras, he costs between £8,000 and £11,000. Henry’s creators say he can hold a conversation about his owner’s favourite TV show or film.

The Mail on Sunday reported Realbotix CEO Matt McMullen said on unveiling the robots last month:
Women have the same issues of loneliness as men. People call them sex dolls but mostly it’s about companionship.
In this world of computers people are missing out on human interaction.
Speaking to the Daily Star, he added:
It’s the obvious, the gender; both in the personality and the voice then obviously the male physicality of the robot.
They’re rebuilding that needs to happen on both front to create a male platform.
We’re working hard on that and that’s one of the next big things we’re looking to get up and running.
Dr David Levy, a world leading AI researcher, has even implied male sex robots could render men obsolete.
He said:
I’m sure women will find robots equally appealing as men.
If women are that interested in getting satisfaction from a vibrator, imagine how the same women will feel having a robot they can put their arms round them and having the robot squeeze them.
Adult toy firm Silicone Sex World recently revealed they were on the hunt for a punter to try out its latest products at their HQ in Hatton Garden, London.
The role offers flexible working hours (oi oi!) on top of 22 days holiday a year, a free gym membership and even a company mobile phone.
In order to be successful you don’t have to have worked in the adult industry before but naturally a passion for taking sex dolls to the boneyard is key.
You also have to be ‘highly driven’ which is maybe the most normal yet grossest thing I’ve ever seen in a job description.
On their website, it states:
Have you ever dreamed of job testing one of the most advances ADVANCED sex products on the planet?

It’ll make sure we maintain the quality of our offering and it’ll also help us innovate in a competitive market.
If it’s a connection you’re looking for then maybe Henry is your best bet. Someone who can open the door for you, unscrew a bottle of red on the sofa, banter you over your obsession with the kids from Stranger Things and then… well, not before the watershed guys.
Henry has been contacted for comment.
