  • Returning Series
The stop-motion series entitled Robot Chicken is the animated program from Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, and is currently airing on the late-night programming block "Adult Swim".

What is Robot Chicken? "Robot Chicken" was a dish from the Chinese restaurant where Seth & Matthew ordered take-out, while they were writing the show.

About the Creators: Seth Green Known for his acting roles in dozens of movies like The Italian Job, Without a Paddle and the Austin Powers films. He has also appeared extensively on television, starring in the hit series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and as the voice of Chris in Family Guy.

Matthew Senreich A former ToyFare editor. Began his career working in comic books before joining Wizard Entertainment, Wizard is a magazine covering comic books, action figures, anime and collectible card gaming. Senreich was named editor of ToyFare, then editorial director for all of Wizard's publications.

Robot Chicken is original in the ways that there hasnt been any like it since Action League NOW! The great fact is the episodes are so incredibly random, yet they still happen to pull through and manage to be completely hilarious, without losing the viewers attention because of the entire random factor... So read the rules and have fun posting... about the sheer random-ness that is Robot Chicken!moreless

    My 15th Review after "Teenage mutant Ninja Turtles (2003)".

    This cartoon is funny as heck. They have such great comedy skits. They had like a Mario and luigi in GTA vice city parody, That is one of the BEST skits on robot chicken series trilogy. I'm gonna soon make my clone of robot chicken titled: "Techno Tiger". Now. This show is gonna get an A+. Here the results:

    Voice-acting: A 8.5/10.0 Good but Bluary Voice-acting.

    Animation: A+ 9.0/10.0 The Animation is in pretty low Quatilly and it is pretty bad animation but that's what it makes it soooooooo Funny!!!!!

    Grapihcs: C 6.0/10.0 Average. It looks like a Rankin bass cartoon series title.

    Sound: A++ 10.0/10.0 They have ALL types of good music, Now that's the music we want to have for Original cartoons.

    Dialouge: A++ 9.8/10.0 One of the Funniest Dialouge scripts to date on a cartoon.

    Lasting Appeal: A++ 10.0/10.0 You can't go wrong messing up with this superb show!

    Overall: A+ 9.1/10.0 This cartoon has everything with skits that you can ever imainge! This show is Hillroaius! Check it out!!!!!!! :)moreless

  • WARNING: Keep this show away from kids at all possible.

    OK I think this is a good show on Adult Swim. Its not really drop dead hilarious good, its just good. But keep this show away from kids at all possible. Now my parents would kill me if they saw me watching it so I don't watch it that much. I've only seen like 3 episodes of it and its pretty funny. Now this show is violent, there's a lot of blood, deaths ect... And it uses language that sometimes appears unbleeped. Now this show is also discusting. I Mean I made a bad sick face when I saw this show one time. But this show is funny. Now this show is kind of like Mad. It makes funny of people, shows, movie and other stuff. But its better than Mad actually. Now I think its really creative that this show has dolls in it. And one more thing I would've never guess that this show would've been a sketch comedy. I found this show on the internet and I thought it was a chciken that found crime not a sketch comedy. Well keep this show away from kid sat all possible and check it out. Overall 7.5/10.moreless

    I just can't stand this show anymore! It has gone why too far! After I saw the Godzilla skits on there, I just couldn't bare to watch anymore! NOBODY makes fun of my favorite movie kaiju and gets away with it. This show even made fun of my favorite show, that is the very very last straw! Robot Chicken sould die! Die! Die! It's does nothing but make fun of your favorite childhood icons and makes them look like crap! I can't understand people liking this show, because it deserves to die! I can't wait till this is long gone. All adult shows suck anyway!moreless

  • Robot Chicken use of cultural/political reference continues to be funny, but its overly exaggerated violence and sexual content are just not funny (but not offensive), and its comedy rests too much on the technique of non-sequitors.moreless

    I still watch Robot Chicken every now and then whenever I'm finished with all the essential activities in my daily life. What I appreciate about Robot Chicken is its creative use of animated doll-clays to lampoon many artifacts from our popular culture and politics: He-Man, Starwars, Lindsey Lohan, Star Trek (including it's die-hard nerd fans), Terminator, Green Lantern, etc. Anyone, including myself, who is familiar with anything about popular culture, will, more or less inevitably find Robot Chicken lampooning it all.
    However the downside to Robot Chicken is its overly exaggerated use of violence, sexuality, and obscenity. I do not disparage violence, sexuality, and obscenity on TV and Cinema because many times I find themappropriateand purposeful in many contexts (e.g. If the movie was about gangsters and drug dealers, then obscenity and violence is to be expected). However I do not understand why some of the elements play acrucialmonotonous part in Robot Chicken. Why do heads explode, guts fall off, or body shred to pieces? I would personally expect to find that in Horror genres, but nowadays it seems like Comedyincorporatesthem into their genre as if its funny. Perhaps it's just me, but I personally don't find it funny (I also don't find it offensive).
    Another letdown in Robot Chicken is that the whole premise of the show rests in the total use of non-sequitur as a comical device. You go from one scene which consists of certain characters lampooning figures from popular culture, to another entirely different scene with different characters. At first it's entertaining since what comes after another scene is suppose to be unexpected. While family guys, american dad, and south park has its moments of non-sequiturs (especially family guys!), they all still have a continuous linear plot that one can appreciate. Robot Chicken is simply a non-sequitur show.
    Anyways, I still enjoy the show, I hope Seth Green keeps up the goo work, but I must say that those are the only things about Robot Chicken that I disliked.moreless

  • Ladies and gentlemen, the show that ruined my childhood.

    The stop-motion series entitled Robot Chicken is the animated program from Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, and is currently airing on the late-night programming block "Adult Swim".

    Pretty much, it's just people playing with dolls ruining every TV show, video game, etc, that I grew up being entertained with.

    For example, Spongebob, Parappa the Rapper, Mario Bros, you now what I mean.

    This show should've been canceled a long time ago. I do admit though I liked the Grand Theft Mario Vice City skit, but that's about it.

    Overall, avoid the show at all costs, it wont make you laugh at all.

    1/10 Fmoreless
