NO = No,
After the interjection, you need a comma.

I NO BLEEV U! = I do not believe you!
English has a special form for the negation of statements:
I believe you.
I do not believe you.

RED DOT = The red dot
Don't forget the definite article: the red dot.

CANT BE = can't be
You need an apostrophe for the contraction: can + not = can't.

CONTROLLD BY HOOMANZ = controlled by humans.
Don't forget the final period.

BE QUITE, = Be quiet!
You cannot use a comma here. Instead, you need sentence-final punctuation, like an exclamation mark. Note also the spelling: quiet (not quite).

IM SLEEPIN = I'm sleeping.
You need an apostrophe for the contraction: I + am = I'm. And don't forget the final period!
