It's still Robot Chicken, but it's having a bit of a mean streak
November 2, 2011
Format:DVD
I am a huge fan of Robot Chicken, and I still love the show. Season 5 is stil the Robot Chicken we know and love, although as far as this show goes I'd say this season is weaker than past seasons. The humor in this season is WAY more morbid than in past seasons, an not really as clever as the show has been in years past. Ether sketch this season seems to end with the characters being viscerally disemboweled, and even by this show's standards the humor in these episodes is a lot more vulgar. For some fans this is going to be hilarious, but for my personal tastes I thought Robot Chicken was at it best when it wasn't relying as heavily on base humor for laughs. In some ways, I almost miss the censor bleeps and pixelated nudity from older episodes, because frankly there's so much swearing and nudity in season 5 that it becomes distracting (which might be in the show's favor, since the actual writing in Season 5 isn't as good as earlier seasons).
Don't get me wrong-- season 5 is still a lot of laughs and makes some great pop culture jokes, and if you are a fan of the show it's still a must buy. However, I hope that going forward Robot Chicken doesn't continue in this direction, because eventually it can only end up with the show relying solely on obscenity to be funny, and that is not what made this show great. I guess every show that lasts this long is going to have growing pains, but I really hope that for Robot Chicken we're still a few years away from a true "jump the shark" moment (as if anything with this show would be absurd enough to make me tune out).

In my opinion this season is better than the last one... but not by much. You will find a lot more blood, gore, nudity and cursing in this season. There are some sketches wich I find brilliant but overall that is not the case, It's still robot chicken and I have to say that the production has improved greatly. I enjoyed it, hope you do too.

Excellent continuation of the series
I bought this hoping to laugh, and I almost cried from the continuous jokes and references. Strongly recommend for any fan of the 80's and good quality crude humor.

Sick, in a sick way
Got this for my nephew. Not a fan of gross humor usually, but got to appreciate Seth Green's genius. I already have the first four boxes. Read more
