Robot Chicken
A series of pop-culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character was an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by mad scientist Fritz Huhnmorder, who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are mostly into it for the rapid-fire humor and the style, with the stop-motion toy gags making for a reliably funny watch. The show's strength is its absurd pop-culture parodies, especially when bits like Bitch Puddin' or Star Wars sketches land. However, the frame story with the tortured Robot Chicken doesn't really work for many, and some find the quality of the writing to be hit-or-miss, especially when compared to similar shows. If you like the idea of a joke-a-minute sketch show with a specific, weird vibe, it's a solid choice after all these seasons.
