- Released on February 20, 2005
"Robot Chicken" is a unique and utterly entertaining adult-animated series that has been a staple of pop culture parody since its inception in 2005. The show is the brainchild of Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, who not only create, write and produce the series but also lend their voices to a variety of characters. Seth Green, known for his roles in films like "The Italian Job" and "Austin Powers," and television shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Family Guy," brings his comedic genius to the forefront in this series. Matthew Senreich, a writer and producer, also wears multiple hats in this production, contributing to the diverse and dynamic character lineup.
"Robot Chicken" is renowned for its distinctive stop-motion animation style, which utilizes a variety of toys, action figures, and dolls to create its vibrant, ever-changing universe. The titular character, Robot Chicken, begins his journey as an ordinary chicken but is tragically hit by a car. In a twist of fate, the seemingly deceased chicken is revived by the eccentric and somewhat sinister mad scientist, Fritz Huhnmorder. However, this is no fairy tale rescue. Huhnmorder transforms the chicken into a cyborg and subjects him to a unique form of torture – forcing him to watch an endless array of TV shows. These shows serve as the basis for the hilarious sketches that make up each episode of "Robot Chicken."
The sketches in "Robot Chicken" are a veritable smorgasbord of pop-culture references and parodies. The show fearlessly lampoons everything from popular movies and TV shows to video games and comic books. The humor is often irreverent and subversive, but always intelligent and witty. Each episode is a rapid-fire succession of skits, with subjects ranging from the latest superhero blockbuster to a classic sitcom or even a children's cartoon. The show's creators have an uncanny knack for finding humor in even the most unexpected places, making "Robot Chicken" a must-watch for anyone who appreciates smart, funny, and slightly twisted comedy.
