"Well, all the jokes can't be good, you have to expect that once in awhile," Groucho Marx apologized to the camera in Animal Crackers. Though some of the gags in Robot Chicken's third season lay an egg, creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich have nothing to apologize for, except maybe the moment in the "Half-Assed Christmas Special," in which Charlie Brown asks Snoopy, "Have you seen Linus? He was supposed to walk me to chemo." With its barrage of sight gags and pop culture mash-ups (Rankin/Bass's Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer meets Godfather II when elf Hermey, the aspiring dentist, winds up like Fredo), this ceaselessly-inventive Emmy Award-winning stop-motion animated series is the fastest 10 minutes (without commercials) on television. There is something here to befuddle (if not offend) everyone. Children of the '80s might be unfamiliar with Mister Magoo, just as Baby Boomers may not be acquainted with She-Ra. Still, you don't need to have seen Forrest Gump to be tickled by the sight gag that takes "run, forest, run," literally. For all the sophomoric humor (yes, there will be fart jokes and geysers of plasticine blood), there are transcendent bits of brilliance, such as when Ted Kennedy and porn star Jenna Jameson team up to slay celebrities (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paris Hilton) who have intruded into politics or porn, a goof on If You Give a Mouse a Cookie which somehow descends into vampirism and Earth's destruction, and the Kanye West moment when a Smurf complains, "The king doesn't care about blue people" after a Katrina-like disaster devastates the Smurfs' domain. Robot Chicken continues to attract A-listers who get it, including Ethan Hawke, who reprises his Training Day character as the voice of a rookie monster riding with Godzilla. As befits a series that rewards geek-like obsession, this two-disc set features immersive extras--lively audio commentaries for each episode, video blogs of writer pitches, deleted scenes--that reveal just what makes this Robot tick. --Donald Liebenson

Customer Reviews

As good as season 1 and 2 ...but
this is the 3rd season, and after enjoying the previous seasons, it
struck me in this season that they might need some new personel to do
some of the voice overs. Im starting to hear the same character voice
in many different sketches and its becomming anoying to a point...
Anyway ...the show is original and hope to see season 4.

Profuse profanity makes RC less funny
My husband and I love Robot Chicken. The first time he saw the show he laughed so hard our neighbors in the next apartment woke up and started banging on the wall. Our only gripe with this third season is that it is uncensored. I never would have thought this was a problem, as it is an adult show, but dropping the F-bomb more times in a 15 minutes show than most R-rated films do makes the show less funny. It makes it seem like it's trying too hard. It's excessive and distracting. It was way funnier when all of the swear words were beeps. All of the nudity is also uncensored. This mostly consists of Barbie boobs which aren't erotic in the least. It was funnier when they were blurred out because it made it seem like it was something inappropriate, instead of a child's plaything.
Some people might think we are just prudes that are offended by the language, but if that were the case, we wouldn't watch the show at all. My point is Robot Chicken was funnier when they didn't need so much uncensored language. The show can carry itself without it.

Brilliantly insane!!
A perfect blend of pop culture insanity!!! You can tell that the creators of this were 70's to 80's children. Crude stop motion animation is just fun as heck to watch! I've bought all 3 seasons released so far & the only "bad" thing I can say about any of the season sets is being upset when the last episode is over & I want more!
