Robot Chicken

Inbred Chocobo · 05-07-2005, 07:44 PM

First off, this seemed the best place for it. Even though it isn't drawn, it is what I believed is called still motion animated (something like that.) so it is close enough.

Compared to the rest of the stuff Adult Swim has been throwing out recently, this is quite good. It didn't exactly blow my mind away, and the mini gags are kind of boring, but when it hits the 'main plot' so to speak, I think it becoems rather enjoyable. Though I have to admit, the mini clip that showed George Bush cow tipping was quite funny. What are your thoughts on Robot Chicken? And do you believe that this is a sign that Adult Swim will be coming out with better stuff?

I honestly did not know that Seth Green was that funny. And such a nerd.

My Favorite Bits:
The Diary of Anne Frank starring Hillary Duff
Real World: Metropolis
Heaven being full of 'evil' people (Hitler: I'm just as suprised as you are.)
The 'Darkest Sketch Ever'
Spoilers ("Luke, I am your father!" "No, it can't be true!" "Also, Leia is your twin sister!" "That's...improbable." "And the force is measured by little bugs in your blood." "Ok, now you're just making stuff up.")

oh and lets not forget Kill Bunny that had Jesus fighting Santa, or when Voltron got 'served' and you gotta love the "This is your brain on drugs" *whacks egg with frying pan* [spoiler] "this is your grandma on drugs" *WHACK* "this is your car on drugs" *WHACK* "This is your sterio on drugs" *WHACK*

And then there was the legend of the "Fat one", which starred an Nsync Member on a quest for revenge, with Karate.

I thought the documentary of the mongoose setting up a sniper rifle on a grassy knoll and then shooting JFK was a stroke of genius. While horribly inappropriate, it was so unexpected that I couldn't help but laugh. Then my soul hurt.

whenever I watch Robot Chicken I always get the feeling, 'I know I should be offended by this' but it is quickly cancelled out by bouts of laughter.

My favorite segment included a mech and an alien breakdance-fighting on the surface of the moon. The best part? The winner yells out in an alien voice: YOU GOT SERVED!

What surprised my most about this show is the number of guest stars they're able to rope in. Off the top of my head, I know Conan O'Brien and just about the entire cast of That 70's Show did voices. Who else am I missing?

I personally loved the short bit they did on Oz(the show on HBO) using the Wizard of Oz characters. I have Adult Swim on demand, and when I watched that with my sibling, we kept rewinding it over and over again. We, quite literally, fell off the couch laughing.
