Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think my Roomba just got a name---Rosie. Now if she'd only put my laundry away.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

“Not dead yet!”

And now I'm earwormed with the Jetsons theme song.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Isn't that the kind of thinking that eventually leads to Cylons and Terminators?

Just tell yourself the Simpsons theme song is an homage to that, and then get earwormed with the Simpsons....
