"So she's good cop, he's bad cop, you're morally-questionable cop, and I'm set-things-on-fire cop."
"Sounds about right."

Robots of Death springs to mind (there's bits of social commentary mixed in, iirc, and the robots are designed to look non-human which causes phobias)
The robot doggie K-9 is possibly not quite what you're looking for, but still amusing.
(Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, of course, had Twiki, who was mostly comic relief)
I'm not sure how good it actually is (I found it read like crack), but Alan Ballyntyne's 'Recursion' dealt with what makes machines sentient and humans superior and what makes us individuals, etc. The sequels appear more of the same, though the first one bogged me down about halfway through (dude, I do not need your wanky fantasies, thanks).
Ghost in the Shell, all three movies. And Stand-Alone Complex the tv series are also excellent discussions of what makes us individuals and human, and there's AIs and prostheses and all sorts of fun stuff.
