escctrlshift It ain't over till it's over. That's why Robot Chicken is back to torture us again with its impenetrable thicket of pop-cultural references. Some of us like to bushwhack...so forging ahead, our maniacal laughter muffled, so to speak, as we dive deeper and deeper into the nether cavities of the atavistically adolescent imagination of the show's creators, perphaps recreating the same process that lead to the shows creation in the first place.....Never mind. Herein lies a thicket...a 'bushel'-basket of rare _fruits du mal_, wrought with articulated animation figures. The caged, prosthetically-challenged inner urchin in each us is drawn, as a moth to a flame, by the Svengalian ethos of Robot Chicken, even as that inner homunculus laughs to the point of coughing up its own lungs, dying in a pool of personal effluvia, gray matter, blood and pee-pee. Such is the only extended metaphor I could think of, for what it is like to enjoy Robot Chicken's treatment of children's toys, toys that were meant for educational purposes only. But that begs the question, what sort of education were they really mean for?There is hardly any way to write a spoiler for a Robot Chicken episode. The basic way of thinking here is so rotten, so overwrought,, so depraved, so...innocent of all sense of limitation whatsoever, that one can only laugh. After all, that is why the action depicted did not involve the slaughter of real actors. At least not on-set or funded directly by the production of Robot Chicken, Inc. None were slaughtered because this is ONLY HUMOR. Evisceration of, and/or other inappropriate play-action behaviors involving children's plastic action figures is a funny thing that every little boy dreams about. Little boys aged 7-97, that is. So come one, come all, come again and again in a paroxysm of joy as you leer over this splatter-fest of age-inappropriate (as in, inappropriate at any age in the human lifespan) fun.

Jean Lafitte I watched the series back when it was funny; which is to say, when they weren't calling the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee for plot ideas. Political satire can be absolutely devastating, but when it's as one-sided as it was in Robot Chicken it gets nauseating - intelligent members of the audience realize they're being played and change channels.EXAMPLE: Another reviewer said "The only thing that would make me offended by the show is if they made a parody of Hurricane Katrina, but I still wouldn't stop watching the show." The fact is, Robot Chicken DID do a Hurricane Katrina sketch, when Gargamel dammed the river north of Smurfville, there were dead Smurfs floating all over, and one of the survivors whined "We asked for help, but the King doesn't care!" Obviously a repetition of the lie that the Federal Government did nothing and offered nothing before, after or during Katrina to the people affected. And if Seth Green or Mr. Senreich had an ounce of objectivity, intelligence or independence of thought, they'd have had Papa Smurf way up in the New Orleans Hyatt Regency Tree refusing all the help the King offered and basically letting 2-3000 Smurfs die so he'd have something to gripe to the press about.Just one in-depth example of why Robot Chicken began to really SUCK in its second season... all the raunchy satire about Bush and his daughters, and NO sketches about Obama and his very troubling church life, his early friendship with two SDS bomb-throwers... if they really WANTED to push the envelope of political satire, they could have.Instead, it's pretty clear that beginning in the second season, Green and Senreich decided to gut Robot Chicken and turn it into a propaganda vehicle to help Barack Obama get elected and rape the American middle class. What a damn shame... it started off as a great show,

Dalbert Pringle You know, after watching several scathing episodes of Robot Chicken, I'm now totally convinced that, as children, both of its creators (Seth Green & Matthew Senreich) not only gleefully played with "superhero" action figures, but, they also played with Barbie dolls, as well.And, now, by presenting Barbie as nothing but a boy-toy slut, Green & Senreich are repeatedly killing her, over and over again, thus exorcising themselves of the joy that they had as children happily playing with her like she was their best friend.What really irked me off about Robot Chicken was that its plot line seemed to have no real concern about coherency. And it also seemed to be too intent on repeatedly clobbering the viewer over the head with ultra-violent images, foul-mouthed dialog and hatefully insensitive attitudes.What I also found very odd about this intentionally offensive TV show was its downright confusion. It sure seemed to me that its 2 creators appeared to be both savagely sneering at pop culture while, at the same time, whole-heartedly embracing its very essence and all of its many idiosyncrasies, all in one single breath.When it came to Robot Chicken's overall cleverness, I found it to be very short-lived. And, generally speaking, its confused and erratic format was very much like grasping at straws, where its unavoidable repetitiveness became real annoying, real fast.Originally titled "Junk In The Trunk" (very appropriate), for me Robot Chicken was its most satisfyingly entertaining when I viewed it in fast-forward mode. Yeah. That way it was only the flashing by of its wacky, over-the-top images that were in my face and the asininity of its caustic, low-brow verbal-humor could be completely ignored.
