Chappie is a 2015 science fiction film about a police robot that gains consciousness and learns about the world like a child, which is why its requests sound so innocent. Dame un abrazo translates from Spanish as give me a hug, and the line has become a favourite on soundboards and short-form edits because it is instantly understandable even without context. Creators reuse it for wholesome moments, ironic affection and cute robot memes, keeping a small, tender quote from the film alive years after its release.
