Actor Seth Green ("Family Guy") and Matthew Senreich created the off-the-wall comedy hit, which is 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. The show often features special episodes built around a single theme, including "Star Wars" and DC Comics.

William Thomas Empire Magazine With such a quick-fire pace, many of the gags fail to hit the mark, but with an impressive voice cast happily taking the piss out of themselves, it's hard not to get caught up in the bad-taste-tinged silliness. Rated: 3/5 Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Lucy Maher Common Sense Media The viewers most likely to enjoy the show are pop culture-savvy types who grew up playing with the toys in question. Rated: 3/5 Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Joanna Robinson Vanity Fair It's both incredible that Robot Chicken didn't get sued into oblivion over copyright claims and impossible to imagine something like The Lego Movie existing without it.

Harrison D THIS ORIGINAL SEASON LOOKS GREAT!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Mihailo M The title is misleading. I was expecting: Uh, robot chicken for sure about some machine chicken. It will be interesting. And that pop culture when I looked. No robot chicken. Sci-fi fans will be disappointed with the cartoon because it is not sci-fi. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/30/24 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst shows created in the history of television. I thought it was funny when I was like six, but anyone past middle school should realize this s*** is just braindead, and not in an entertaining way. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/07/24 Full Review Ian A Robot Chicken has ALWAYS had me laughing hard no matter what movie franchise: DC, Marvel, Star Wars... yeah. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/22 Full Review Audience Member You wanna see funny this is it Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Season 1 of Robot Chicken was an ambitious project. The segments were a bit misplaced and fragmented but it was still quite funny. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
