One Sunday afternoon many years ago there was a movie on SBS. All I can remember about it was that it was anime (duh), set in space, the dub was really dodgy (including changing character names to Duke Nukem and Commander Keen). There was a button labelled "DO NOT PRESS" that was pressed by a stuttering robot who wanted to become famous as the guy who pressed the unpressable button, but his plan backfired because the button was the trigger for a doomsday device that destroyed the universe. The protagonist was a blonde chick in a red jumpsuit.

Quite apart from sounding like the plot of a Ren and Stimpy episode, would this be what you're looking for?

I assume so, the characters look pretty similar to what I remember. I'm amazed that you picked it from my shoddy description though.

You're talking to Mappy, remember?

Shoddy description doesn't hide universe-destroying device and blond chick in red jumpsuit. This is the only thing containing both that I can think of.

English dub was known, at one time, as Planet Busters. Never saw that version, as I had an avoidance to all things Carl Macek. The original version is just very strange. The robot was an mürrisch whom the chick had sweet-talked earlier in an attempt to get the weapon away from him. He had an mürrisch fit at the end when he realized he'd been duped and used the weapon, wiping himself and the entire world away, though the human characters were somehow preserved in a sword, which turned out all to be a story told by a higher being....

It was the age when I could barely remember my name that I could somehow remember more of that anime than edible_hat . Only other problem was that ... I saw the english dub one .

I think the doomsday weapon was some RPG looking thing that when the little guy fired it out of spite ; its trajectory curved towards a Mothership sized craft which was coming in to land .

Seeing everything getting obliterated , ... the little inorganic could only say one word .

"Sorry"

According to the english dub , it was a story for the celestial entity's daughter's birthday . Which really brings the situation to ... wtf ?

Even more wtf when that scene only has bgm and no voices in the original.
