Product Description

Robot Chicken: Season One (DVD)

It's here! The premiere season of Robot Chicken — 20 channel-flippin', toy-murderin', attention-span-shatterin' episodes straight from Adult Swim's late-night lineup. Enjoy bite-sized nuggets of sketch comedy performed by yesteryear's favorite playthings, animated in state-of-the-art stop motion. (Hey, CGI — go straight to hell!) It's like a poultry party in your pants!

Amazon.com

Take the stop-motion animated toy action of Kablam! and the pell-mell-paced gag barrage of, say, Laugh-In and you've got the fast and furiously funny Robot Chicken, the addictive addition to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late-night lineup. Co-created by geek-God Seth Green and filmmaker Matthew Senreich, Robot Chicken episodes run a scant 12 minutes or so, which invites repeat viewings to catch what you missed during the channel-flipping mayhem through TV, movie, and commercial parodies, and non-sequitur blackouts, all acted out by dolls and action figures. To truly appreciate this series, it helps to have a Family Guy grasp on pop-culture trivia, although you need not remember the failed TV series Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place to enjoy "Two Kirks (Admiral James T. and Cameron), a Khan and a Pizza Place." Suffice to say, if you grew up with the Transformers, Voltron, He-Man, and the Care Bears, you'll cackle loudly at Robot Chicken. Each episode is hit and miss, with moments that border on mad genius, such as The Diary of Anne Frank re-imagined as a vehicle for Hilary Duff, or a sketch involving the Tooth Fairy and a little boy whose happiness is short-lived as his parents brutally bicker off camera. It may just live up to its billing as "the darkest sketch in television history."

Other moments to remember: actress Rachael Leigh Cook (voiced by herself) gets carried away during a "This is your brain on heroin" PSA; the shape-shifting superhero adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen; a popsicle-stick adaptation of Debbie Does Dallas; and a Behind the Music devoted to Muppet house band the Electric Mayhem. Robot Chicken's coolness cache extends to its voice cast, including Sarah Michelle Gellar, Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane, Mark Hamill, and Macauley Culkin. This two-disc set hatches a wealth of archival goodies, including deleted scenes and "animatics," behind-the-scenes footage of animation meetings, and alternate audio takes. Robot Chicken is a fowl ball! --Donald Liebenson

Silly, crude, dank, and topical.
I have it rated in the middle. It isn't amazing programming even if one loves it. Creative, sure, but the material is most relevant to the time it was written. Some silly messed up themes that can get a laugh, but I dont love it as much as some do. I think I have become desensitized to this style of dankness. The seasons were best enjoyed in the time that they came out- so if you were pretty much 18+ when these were airing, then you will still likely get the jokes. It would be hard for a new viewer to understand all the topical references. I can take it in small doses, but often it is an annoying program. Definitely good for viewers with short attention span. I really have to be in the mood for it. You've got to be a fan to like it. Early work is better than later.

This is one of those shows you'll likely either love or hate with an equal passion. I bought the first three seasons used for literally pennies on the dollar, so I really cannot complain. Will you like this show? Hmmm... Let me clarify your tastes by asking you this: Did you enjoy Revenge of the Nerds, the old Batman show, Napoleon Dynamite, Sigmund & The Sea Monsters, The G.I. Joe Adventure Team, Celebrity Death Match, SuperFriends, and Manimal? If you loudly screamed "Yes!" to any or all of these then first, get some help! Second, place your order right now for Season One since, IMHO, you are fully-primed to thoroughly enjoy the twisted genius that is ROBOT CHICKEN. If you turned up your nose or rolled your eyes at any of the above-listed titles then do yourself a favor and steer clear. No genre or topic is left un-riffed. A bunch of guys take toys from their youth and use crude stop-motion animation to make the figures come to life, creating funny (often hilarious) skits in a raunchy SNL style that's sure to please those who haven't lost their inner child and can fully enjoy a good fart joke now & then without being ashamed. >>>But please note that this show is ripe with scatological & sexual humor and contains some harsh (F-bombs included) language, so it is most definitely NOT for young kids, despite the toy/action figure look of the show.<<< The episodes contained in Season 1 are in good shape on this DVD collection. Buy it used and save a little extra dough. 4 STARS

Classic season of a series that will live in infamy. Hilarious infamy.

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014

Robot Chicken is a stop-motion animated sketch show based on the premise of a mad scientist turning a chicken into a cyborg and forcing it to watch short movies. The shorts run the gamut of scenarios and hilarity, from gags of just a couple of seconds to spoofs lasting most of the show's average eleven minute runtime. Some of them fall flat, but the longer sketches trend toward greatness. Abide by the MA rating: despite being stop-motion animated, this show is most definitely not for children. A great deal of the humor is aimed at people who remember cartoons created to sell toy lines. Season one has some chestnuts for the ages, like a super race spoof in episode 3, or the martial arts contest parody in episode 9. If you like season one, chances are you'll like the rest of the series too.

I had heard great things about this show from people who had access to Cartoon Network, and a few sketches posted to online video sites whetted my appetite for more, so when the DVDs became available I snapped them up. I was not disappointed!

Seth Green and his co-conspirators have cooked up an inspired melange of spoofs (I think my favorites had to be the Cannonball Run and Real World: Metropolis bits) and short, often Monty Pythonesque bits, all done in stop motion animation with what often appear to be modified off-the-shelf action figures. Along the way they take on cultural icons as disparate as Gandhi, the Olsen twins, Voltron and the A-Team. The extras are worth a view and the DVD allows you to slow down and catch bits in backgrounds and crowded shots you might otherwise miss. The episodes are 15 minutes each which are a perfect length, great for a quick laugh but nothing goes on overly long. The creators show special love for 70s and 80s pop culture and the more references you know, the more you will appreciate the humor.

Excellent show, can't wait for the next season!

I don't know what to say about Robot Chicken that hasn't already been said by wordsmiths better than myself, but if you have a taste for the ridiculous and/or absurd, you've arrived. I arrived a bit late to this party, as the Adult Swim program of Cartoon Network was on Season 5 of this series when I first ran across it. Needless to say, I am in now, and anxiously await new seasons and specials. I know it's probably too good to last much longer, so I do plan on collecting them all to view at my leisure when I need a temporary escape from this reality. I'm not going to try describing it; just check it out on CN, and you will instantly know.

Absolutely classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 26, 2006

A stop-motion sketch show may not sound like the basis for a comedy goldmine, but Robot Chicken is one of the most hilarious shows on the air today. The stop-motion animation complements the oddball humour perfectly, and there's something in there for everyone; Robot Chicken seems to be pursuing a tireless quest to mimick and mock everything under the sun, from the Blind Date with an alien and a predator to the post-TV careers of He-Man and the Thundercats, from The World's Most One-Sided Fist Fights to Kill Bill with Jesus and a katana-weilding Santa Claus. A classic series.

Brilliant series.

I first saw Robot chicken by accident. I was flicking through the channels when I came across the Star wars specials. I was hooked straight away. I decided to get this DVD and was not let down for a second. It is just so funny. My only complaint would be that each episode is just so short and leaves you wanting more, so I would say buy this product, if you have a sence of humour you will never regret it.

Robot Chicken - Season 1 Box Set (Region 2) (Pal) [2005 ]

This is one of the funniest TV shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

From George W Bush officially declaring: "Tacos rule" to Bill Cinto borrowing Air Force One to get to the Burning Man festival, including fat guys trying to reach ice cream and runners being bisected by the finishing ribbon, this show will have you in absolute stitches.

And if you don't think it's "your thing" just think of it as loads of Family Guy cutaway gags in stop-motion.

This is a wonderful series and I love it. The show features some of the most insane, hilarious and absurd pieces of comedy I've ever come across.

Only disappointment were the extras of the DVD: The deleted scenes just made you more angry, because you didn't get to see the sweet animation robot chicken is famous for and the jokes kinda died without the it. On the other hand, some of the commentaries etc. provided a nice sneak peek behind the scenes of the show.

If you like robot chicken (and even if you don't, yet) you better get this one right now. You won't be disappointed.
