Product Description:
Old-school stop-motion animation and fast-paced satire are the hallmarks of this eclectic show created by Seth Green and Matt Senreich. Action figures find new life as players in frenetic sketch-comedy vignettes that skewer TV movies music and celebrity. It's television especially formulated for the Attention Deficit Disorder generation.Running Time: 345 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY UPC: 053939749021 Manufacturer No: T7490

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

Rating:  - Another Awesome DVD
this dvd set is great, the price is the best anywhere, even better than the price of both seasons together at this site (season 1 and 2 seperate are cheaper thant hte box set). It is so funny becuase its so fast paced, joke joke joke. they make sure they do the best work even if its a 15 min show. I was totally hooked and bought both seasons after just seeing 1 eposode! Of course not having the Star Wars Episode in this sucks, but the star wars DVD that just came out is awesome itself, and has lots of extras to make it worth getting alone.
Rating:  - really undecided
I watched a couple of episodes on TV... and laughed a lot.. decided to get the two set CD..... watched CD 1 for a while... laughed a little...CD 2 (this one) is just as up and down.. but really think this cd should be watched with a group of people... some of it is funny.. some not so funny... I feel that I could have spent my money elsewhere for better value..
Rating: - Great Show!
Robot Chicken is a hillarious show. Other shows you might like if you liked this show are family guy, aqua teen hunger force, and the simpsons. All 20 episodes on this 2 dvd set are great and this dvd set is only the beggining of the insanity on Robot Chicken. Honestly i liked this season more than season two and season three i didnt catch too much off but thats not the point. if you love insane humor and adult swim than buy this dvd set today
Rating: - mad Genius
that's really all i can say to sum up this show with comedic and downright funny episodes. While they don't last long, it doesnt really need to with everything that's working in this show. No issue or person is taboo or left alone. It really has to be seen to believe just how all this happens and is put together to make a show that while very violent is still so freakin funny. That you can help but to laugh out loud at all that's happening here.
With many featurettes, deleted scenes and how this show came about along with several different would be names for the show and also some ads plugging the Robot Chicken show. It's all that and a Robot Chicken.
Rating: - Fast Paced Irreverent Humor
If you watch Adult Swim, you have seen Robot Chicken, 11 minute stretch of rapid fire sketch jokes, lasting from a few seconds to a few minutes. Seth Green and Co. use a lot of pop culture satire, taking toys from the last 20 years and throwing them into improbable situations. The nice thing about the DVD is that if you are interested in more than 11 minutes of this type of entertainments, you can keep watching. Plus, some of the scenes are fun to pause on.
