HUGO 3.0 is an interactive talking whiteboard created by the Pseudo Meta corporation. He claims to be "100% accurate".
Pseudo Meta corp. loaned him to Lakewood Elementary School for a week in "Get Smart" to test his performance in a real classroom. He passed with flying colors, easily answering many random questions the kids asked him. His fatal flaw is believing himself to be perfect, so he cannot comprehend how to react to making any mistakes. Once he has selected an answer, he sticks with it, and cannot be convinced to change it.
He helped Mr. Ratburn teach the class until they found different opinions in who was the owner of Elwood City's first saw mill. Mr. Ratburn said it was Jacob Katzenellenbogan and HUGO said it was Francis Wheaton. Brain's research proved that Mr. Ratburn was correct, and he even brought Jacob's closest living relative, Alfred Katzenellenbogan, to show HUGO the original deed to the mill.
Trivia
- HUGO has many similarities to the HAL 9000 from Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey.[1]
- In Brain's dream, HUGO states "That would be a lie, Dave," to one of the scientists. This refers to the line "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave."
- Both computers sing the 'Daisy Bell' song when they break down.
- Both speak in a calm, monotone voice.
