    >What the Robot Saw’s title is a reference to What the Butler Saw films. Neither the butlers nor the Robot could really understand the objects of their obsession. Despite their self-satisfaction, all they had was a squinted glimpse at a peep show.

    Since the page doesn't mention this: the title is a reference to "What the Butler Saw", a famous early 1900s (mildly) erotic film.
