Synopsis

A series of pop-culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character was an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by mad scientist Fritz Huhnmorder, who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode.

j-swain In theory, i should love this show. I love crazy drawn out jokes, a la Family Guy, parody and random, nonsensical humor, a la Tim and Eric's awesome show (great job!), and ridiculous slapstick, a la jackass, but this show just doesn't do it for me.My friends rave about the hilariousness of this show, but i found all the jokes to be stupid, in a BAD way. sometimes the jokes are drawn out far too long like in family guy, but what makes it funny in family guy is that the drawn-out-ness IS the joke; while in Robot Chicken the drawn outedness is always just a long setup to a weak punchline. As someone said, it seems like seth green took the family guy formula and broke it down to its simplest form possible, so all the jokes are "enhanced" by either obnoxiously sexual innuendo or the F-word (both of which can be funny, but not when its the default way to get a laugh out of your audience...) Half the jokes in the show are based upon the gimmick of taking innocent children's cartoons like care bears and making them swear non-stop, which is funny for an episode or two, but gets old fast.Ill give them a few stars because the claymation is very good and sometimes fun to watch, and occasionally itll get a chuckle out of me, but overall I've always found myself underwhelmed by this show, and its especially frustrating that it seems to take up 95% of adult swim's time slots. I suppose if you like "happy tree friends" maybe this is for you, but if you're expecting something as funny as family guy, look elsewhere.
Red_Identity Robot Chicken is surely a show that will not appeal to all. It's fast and short story lines and the editing and fragmented shorts will not amuse everyone, and will probably offend many. It may get labeled as 'stupid', but the writers really know their stuff. One cannot argue that they are making the television animated program that they want, and it certainly is ambitious. It is actually better than Family Guy. Because it has so many different stories, some of they are bound to fail, and many of them do. Not all stories are entertaining, and a lot of them are pretty lame, but they are at least to be admired for the effort put into them. Many times the best shorts are the ones that only span a few seconds long, and their impact is so funny that before you start laughing they are over. Shorts like this carry the show, and because of that this is one of the best things to ever come out on Television. Not to mention that animation is amazingly done and very enjoyable, but like I said, not what everyone is looking for. Long Live Robot Chicken!
missstephie 'Robot Chicken'. Hmm, that's definitely and eye-catching title, don't you think? At least, that's what I thought when I first heard of it whilst browsing through my dad's collection of strange and funny series. I thought to myself, "A robot chicken? Why would anyone want a robot chicken?" So, out of curiosity, I sat myself down and watched what turned out to be one of the craziest and mind-bogglingly f*****-up adult television shows I had ever seen.Created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, 'Robot Chicken' was a bizarre twist on the term 'comedy sketch show' in which various actors and/or actresses would perform numerous scenes of comic hilarity to entertain the masses. It was along similar lines to another bizarre show titled 'Celebrity Deathmatch'. With this programme however, it went to the extreme. Firstly, it was animated using models and dolls such as a Barbie, Ken or Stacey, some even being customised to look like real people. They were made to move about with moving mouths and exaggerated eyes to create some sense of realism but with that "I'm so obviously a cartoon" style.Each sketch was ridiculous in the extreme. They contained either violence, excessive stupidity (so much so that it was annoying), blood and guts gore or outright, sexually explicit crudeness. Personally, this is what stopped me from giving it a full 10/10. But despite the foulness of the skits, it still made me laugh out loud, which is obviously what it has done with many other people as the show has continued on for a total of 4 seasons so far.Quite often, 'Robot Chicken' will parody a performer or well-known public-figure/group. Among such names was the late, great Michael Jackson, where he was supposedly showing up for court when an alien spaceship landed and the still coloured Michael Jackson jumped out proclaiming that he had been abducted by aliens in their mad bid to take over the world. Other mock-ups included the band N'Sync, where the last surviving member Joey Fatone must avenge his friends deaths by competing in a deadly martial-arts tournament. There are a lot more celebrities throughout, such as Britney Spears, Corey Feldman, Vanilla Ice, Harrison Ford and Aerosmith. Some of the characters are even voiced by their real-life counter-parts.As for the whole, "Why would anyone want a robot chicken?" issue, it has absolutely nothing to do with a robotic chicken, except for in the opening title a mad scientist straps a re-animated chicken in to a chair to watch all these insane sketches, for whatever mad purpose, I can't quite gather.But overall, it's an excellent show with no meaning or purpose to it whatsoever. But then, in todays society, who needs a show to make sense as long as it entertains the masses, which is exactly what 'Robot Chicken' does.Favourite Episode: #1 "The Deep End" - It has a great mock of the well-known film 'Kill Bill'. But this time, it's 'Kill Bunny'.
