I mean... Marvin is highly entertaining.
But no, I wouldn't want him actually around me.
"It's the people you meet in this job who really get you down. The best conversation I had was over 34 million years ago. And that was with a coffee machine."
If I wanted to be reminded of how depressing everything and myself is, I'd look in a mirror with the front page news. I don't need a Marvin.
He is funny as a character, and Adams understood that.
I would have at least tried to replace the diodes down his left side. Though I imagine the conversation would have gone something like this:
"Marvin, do you want me to replace those painful diodes down your left side?"
"Now they ask me if they want my diodes replaced. Of course I want my diodes replaced; they hurt a lot. Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me stupid questions like that. Maybe I should cast my head in concrete."
"I would like to help you not be in pain anymore. Can you show me your schematics so I can order the parts?"
"of COURSE I can. It would be the very simplest task. Oh god, what next?"
"You know what? Never mind."
"Life. Don't talk to me about life."
