Robot Chicken
It's alive!!
Created by Matthew Senreich, Seth Green
On Adult Swim
A frenetic, surreal sketch-comedy anthology built on rapid-fire pop-culture parodies and absurdist violence, sustained across 218 episodes by its commitment to anarchic irreverence.
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.
