    "Perfect"
    By woahwoah678, Jun 13, 2009 Report Abuse
    It's one of the best episodes ever made.Even with that DragonBall Z Christimas special.They had a bunch of good pop culture to make in this episode like Barney singing.It did even better with that Flintstone sketch or anything like that.It has a better pop culture sketch episode ever made than any other Robot Chicken episode ever made.What I say about this episode is that it is really much not of a bad episode,it's much of a best episode made by a bunch of creators of this show and they made the episode even better than anything like that thing or stuff.moreless

    this is a great show. it seems that they are running out of stuff to parody on. maybe they should have kept it off the air longer and hen writen the season two episodes. the first season was much better. maybe its just me and that im not in touch with whats going on in the world. there is also a lot of repeats of certain parts for older episodes mainly the last episode from season one. the whole dragonball z thing was not that funny. its was a good thing to rip off though. keep up the good work Robot chicken. im definatly not going to stop watching. looking forward to future shows. - thanksmoreless

  • Trivia

    ADD TRIVIA
    • Also the first airing of this episode had the [adult swim] logo replaced with [crappy 1980's tv show network] due a complaint about [adult swim] airing Saved By The Bell reruns. Edit
    • The episode starts with this note : Today is Easter the day when Bunny, son of Mothra rises from the sea to spread rainbows, multi-colored eggs and joy. Run children, run! Don't let Bunny touch you with his joy or you'll never sing again. Edit
    • The back page of the Pharaoh's newspaper reads "R U Reading This?" The 'R' and 'U' are meant to be read as the words 'are' and 'you', respectively. Edit

  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • Goku is shown without wearing his blue undershirt, and blue wrist bands; also there is no insignia on his Orange Gi. Edit
    • In the "Very Dragonball Z Christmas" sketch, Goku calls his son Gohan, however it is more likely Goten due to his hairstyle being the same as Goku's. Gohan has a completely different hairstyle. Also Goten was never shown wearing blue. Edit
    • When the episode originally aired, this note appeared at the end: It is to pay attention. The Chicken Season of Robot One DVD exists to buy with all the main memories. It is recreation for the complete family. Feed it to your player. Love it with your face. Edit

    • Goku: The Tenka'ichi Budôkai is finally complete! Santa Claus: What the f*** are you talking about? Was that even English? What happened to my wife? [a reindeer eats the snowflake] This is the last time I deliver presents to Japan. Edit
    • Gohan:ow my dragon balls! Edit
    • Santa Claus: She's grown too gigantic and unstable! Women, am I right fellas? Edit

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • The fencing scene is a spoof of an old 80's commercial for the "Connect Four" game when a girl beats her brother with a diagonal move using the same dialogue. Edit
    • The Flinstones and Fruity Pebbles the fake Fruity Pebbles commercial parodies The Flinstones, the set of cartoon characters that promote the cereal on TV ads. In the commercials, Barney Rubble always tricks Fred Flinstone into allowing Barney to partake in some of Fred's cereal. The sketch takes a dark tone to the theme of the commercials. The sketch also plays on themes of the old Flinstones cartoon show and the flaws of the show. Edit
    • Village Of The Damned In the skit where the kids have glowing eyes and the adults respond, "Damned children!" this is a reference to the original filmed version of Village Of The Damned. Based on John Wyndham's book, it is a story of kids with special powers who keep the adults of their village in line with their own wishes. Edit
