Product Description

From Amazon.com
Take the stop-motion animated toy action of Kablam! and the pell-mell-paced gag barrage of, say, Laugh-In and you've got the fast and furiously funny Robot Chicken, the addictive addition to Comedy Central's Adult Swim late-night lineup. Co-created by geek-God Seth Green and filmmaker Matthew Senreich, Robot Chicken episodes run a scant 12 minutes or so, which invites repeat viewings to catch what you missed during the channel-flipping mayhem through TV, movie, and commercial parodies, and non-sequitur blackouts, all acted out by dolls and action figures. To truly appreciate this series, it helps to have a Family Guy grasp on pop-culture trivia, although you need not remember the failed TV series Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place to enjoy "Two Kirks (Admiral James T. and Cameron), a Khan and a Pizza Place." Suffice to say, if you grew up with the Transformers, Voltron, He-Man, and the Care Bears, you'll cackle loudly at Robot Chicken. Each episode is hit and miss, with moments that border on mad genius, such as The Diary of Anne Frank re-imagined as a vehicle for Hilary Duff, or a sketch involving the Tooth Fairy and a little boy whose happiness is short-lived as his parents brutally bicker off camera. It may just live up to its billing as "the darkest sketch in television history."

Other moments to remember: actress Rachael Leigh Cook (voiced by herself) gets carried away during a "This is your brain on heroin" PSA; the shape-shifting superhero adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; a popsicle-stick adaptation of Debbie Does Dallas; and a Behind the Music devoted to Muppet house band the Electric Mayhem. Robot Chicken's coolness cache extends to its voice cast, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, Mark Hamill, and Macauley Culkin. This two-disc set hatches a wealth of archival goodies, including deleted scenes and "animatics," behind-the-scenes footage of animation meetings, and alternate audio takes. Robot Chicken is a fowl ball! --Donald Liebenson

5.0 out of 5 stars Its finally on DVD, Feb 26 2006
By Chris Sharp "stoner_animation" (Surrey, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Robot Chicken,the brian child of family guy voice actor Seth Green is a stop animation serries that mocks everything and anything under the sun.You will not find another serries that has sekeltor farting in a car with his fellow super villans or will you see the pure insanity of grown men playing with dolls. Robot chicken is part of Cartoon networks Adult Swim lineup and runs around 11 mins per show. This is deffinalty for the more mature and twisted crowd (as is almost all the adult swim shows.
This DVD will not disapoint and is worth the hard earned money.This 2 disk set contains the first season of this show. A must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars funny, April 29 2008
By justine (canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
i enjoy this show. it's funny... i want to say it's like an r rated simpsons, but it's more arbitrary and it mocks things more openly. i'm guaranteed at least one chuckle per episode and though sometimes i feel like one or two skits are trying too hard, for the most part it's a great way to pass the time. i like that a lot of the skits are short (like the flipping of the channels they show in the beginning) because any longer and they'd loose their appeal, so cudos to the writers on that one, and sadly i enjoy that it promotes the short attention span because i like thinking, a lot, but sometimes a break's nice. and finally i like what they mock and i think they do a good job of it.
