OK. Let's talk about tonight's Robot Chicken. Did anyone checked out the Voltron parody where they were breakdancing? Classic! Laughing


I saw the 30-ish sec preview clip on adultswim.com prior to it's airing. But I missed the actual episode though. =/

Served! Served! Served! Served!

I have yet to see that movie. =D

Yeah, they were funny. Laughing

I didn't get the skit with Walt Disney. Could someone explain that, please?

There is an Urban Legend that Walt Disney requested that his head be preserved cryogeniclly. The real truth is that Walt was actually cremated and none of his body parts exist except as ash.

As for the whole Cuban Boy bit.....ya got me on that one. Laughing

Hahaha. I don't think there was anything to explain. Can you explain what happens in ATHF, Sealab, Harvey Birdman, or Tom goes to the Mayor. They just take these ridiculous ideas and create skits. I don't know where they think of this stuff.

I always did wonder what was going on in that building at Disney World, you could never go inside it.......

Now I know its just where a mechanical Walt Disney eats Cuban Boys.

The skit made no sense until the very end, when we see the production company. It was a Cuban propaganda film.

The other segments were much better, but they still tend to run a little too long. I mean, okay, Voltron can breakdance. That's funny, but not for five minutes.

Good point, Vash! Very Happy Sometimes even I don't know much of what's going on during ATHF or Birdman, but I still love watching those shows.

Anyway, thanks for your help, guys! Cool

See! Ever since the mysterious Seth Green project was announced I've been saying this would be one of the best things to hit Adult Swim comedy. I'm happy to say I'm not disapointed!

And I see Froot... I mean Tom Root is one of the writers. He used to do the letter column for Toy Fare, now he does the letters for Anime Insider.

Oh, I thought it was hilarious! When you're bustin-a-move in a dance competition, you gotting bring it, no matter how long it takes. I mean seriously, you gonna let come evil Robeast from some dank part of the galaxy come up to YOUR crib and SERVE you? Wink As Will Smith said (in like every movie)

AW HELL NAW!

Voltron had a shot with some sweet Usher-like moves until the secret weapon: The Cabbage Patch! Embarassed

On a side note I like the VAing of Sarah Michelle Gellar in the show.

It definately needs to be longer. 30 Minutes each showing.

Adult Swim, MAKE IT LONGER!!



NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! !

15 minutes of Robot Chicken is 15 minutes too long!

RC is nothing but crap,one stinking festering pile of crap!

If AS knows what's good for them,they'll cancel RC and put something better.

They're going to air Samurai Champloo and Paranioa Agent in the summer, so there's something better. But I don't see AS cancelling Robot Chicken anytime soon.
