Robot Chicken

[panickedthumb]

Did anyone catch it tonight? For those who don't know, it's a new stop-motion animated cartoon by Seth Green (Buffy, Austin Powers, Without a Paddle, Family Guy, etc) with voices by himself and a few other famous people, including Seth McFarlane, creator of Family Guy. It came on tonight between 2 episodes of Family Guy.

It was freakin' hilarious! It's basically sketch comedy, only animated. Optimus Prime with prostate cancer, the most one-sided fights ever, etc. It was hilarious. For those who haven't seen, hopefully there'll be reruns throughout the week.

It was hilarious.

Hey now... SOME of us are on the west coast... ;)

kassetra: Ok, so when it hits out there, you MUST watch it. I won't go into the details (and other east-coasters should refrain as well) for a few hours so it isn't ruined :)

If you like weird stuff, like I KNOW you do kassetra, you'll really like this.
The Family Guy episodes are 2 of my favorites too-- the one where Peter writes the story for Meg (without telling her) about Luke Perry being gay, and the one where Peter and Lois go to the Willy-Wonka-esque beer factory.

Family Guy r0x0rs!

I can't wait until their new season which starts on the first of May!

Anyone see American Dad?

[panickedthumb]

yeah, I think American Dad will be good, but I think it's time has passed, almost. If it had come out a year, year and a half ago, it would have been more fresh and sensible, but now making fun of the completely useless terror alert system is old hat. Hopefully that was just the pilot though-- since it was written a long time ago. Hopefully the new episodes will be more fresh and timely.

I take it these are TV showshttp://www.ubuntuforums.org/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif

Yes, they are, and you should see them if you get them in NZ :)

I laughed my **** off.

[Adult Swim] is just funny stuff. Except for Tom goes to the Mayor.

I just don't get it - I think that show is horrible -- but people like it. Maybe I just don't get it -

Robot Chicken was funny, though.

*gasp* I can't believe you don't like TGTTM!

OK, I lied. It's hooooooorrrible. I don't know how it even got picked up.

The thing is, I really like the other stuff they've done (like Mr. Show-- that was hilarious), but Tom... Mayor is just atrocious. I've watched it twice, all the way through, and laughed once.

I caught a bit and when I could, I laughed my *** off. 'This is your brain on heroin' was ingenious.
