![]() There are many clever moments in the show. But, it's clearly the writing which makes the show click. And the animation itself is often amusing. The use of familiar toys and the lampooning of recognizable celebrities make the show accessible.to an extent. ![]() The show automatically gets points, as the basic concept is quite amusing. When Robot Chicken is on a roll, it can be incredibly funny. As we'll soon see, they can't all be winners.) (Some may wonder why I didn't list "Kill Bunny". The show's high point may be it's twisted take on the beloved Charlie Brown cartoons. If these ideas seem somewhat pedestrian, then we have true classics, such as the Robot Chicken salute to twist ending, including not only Sleepaway Camp, but a salute to the fact that someone actually remembered Sleepaway Camp. Or how about the series of violent murders which are occurring in Smurf Village? I also liked the race between some of the most famous cars from pop culture, and the segment in which Skeletor and Cobra Commander carpool. But, it's certainly worthwhile to mention some of the more memorable moments from the show, such as when the Scooby-Doo gang visits Camp Crystal Lake. The show is made to appear as if the viewer is changing channels, so some of the gags just fly by.Įach episode of the show lasts only about 11 minutes, but they are so chock full of segments that a comprehensive cataloging of the shorts from Season One would be a daunting task (not to mention the fact that it might crash the server).

Robot Chicken is a show which is incredibly simplistic, yet very hard to describe. Actor Seth Green has apparently done many weird things with dolls, as his Cartoon Network show Robot Chicken may be one of the most twisted (and short) shows ever put on TV. Similarly, many people have done inappropriate things with doll and action figures.although most probably wouldn't admit it. ![]() And then a group of guys in Minnesota decided that they could make a TV show with this concept and Mystery Science Theater 3000 was born. For example, for years people have yelled at the screen while watching movies - especially if the movie is bad. This holds true in the world of entertainment. Many of the greatest ideas in history have sprung from very simple beginnings.
