View Full Version : Pure Evil - Robot Chicken

Still awake at 3:00 AM local time I was watching a little Adult Swim on cartoon network and who made a special appearance on Robot Chicken? Donkey Kong and Mario got a little visit from our friend, the Master Chief.
Watching Master Chief's version of the classic arcade version of Donkey Kong is a classic.
I've really been enjoying Robot Chicken, I always thought that doing a stop-motion show with Action Figures had potential, but Seth Green's take on the idea is really well done. A lot better than Greg the Bunny.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled gaming news... already in progress.

Don't lump me in with you :D
Robot Chicken is the best show to come from Adult Swim since 2000 (Aqua Teen Huger Force / Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law). Optimus Prime dying of prostate cancer and then transforming into a casket? Hilarious.

I assume you've got U.S. satelite then (DirectTV?), to my knowledge no cable networks or even Bell ExpressVu carry the Cartoon Network in Canada.

This show is the funniest cartoon I've ever seen. If you like Family Guy humor with the morbid taste that is Adult Swim, this is for you!
Best skit is Nsync vs. Yakuza :)

I caught the Donkey Kong episode last weekend. It was hilarious. Then the Trix rabbit turning into a coke dealer with Tony the Tiger going down in Scarface style was hilarious. Overall I was glad to discover it, and will have to start watching all episodes of it. In fact, I set the TiVo to record all episodes. I heard about the Optimus Prime episode, and need to see that one.

I'm pretty into Robot Chicken, from the few episodes I've seen. Fast-paced, crazy comedy: good stuff.

"Action League NOW!" on Nick was great back in the day. Skin was the best.

I have my DVR computer set to record Robot Chicken every week, just watched that episode a couple days ago, I'll see if I can grab the file off my DVR machine and seed a torrent when I get home tonight. I think even the 20min show is like 1.1gigs though, might have to cut the commercials out and compress it some. Hmmm this is starting to sound like a lot of work :p

Ya, that was pretty awesome :) I loved how the Spartans were giving eachother hand signals as they were moving up the map.

Yea, it showed that whoever wrote the script for it actually read the books and knows alot about the Halo universe, not just the crap campaign.

A great show. I know when I first heard about it, I was thinking "fuck this show", then actually watching it....fuckin hilarious.
"CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YOU JUST ONE $50,000 FOR THE DARKEST SKETCH IN TELEVISION HISTORY!!"

There's already a few websites with torrents up for ALL the episodes - just do a search.

This is a great show. I'm particularly fond of the quote "Feel the awesome power of Skeletor's breakfast burrito!"
I do disagree that Greg the Bunny wasn't good tho. That's a high quality show that never got a chance.

I submit that, in fact, and its also a well documented fact, that GTB, sucked. :eek:

Dude watch it. This is a way public forum, and Robot chicken is copyrighted. Posting even a link to a torrent for it on Evilavatar would be illegal.
Im not the mpaa though or affiliated with Turner so go with your best judgement.

I think any link of a torrent to copyrighted work here on EA might......dissapear. Evil (or one of his lackeys) would erase it fairly quickly. It would also be wasted effort. There is a channel, on a network for typing and chatting that has versions up fairly quickly as well as several locations to download a distributed version of the show as well. :p

You forget Venture Brothers. That shit is awesome.

Are there going to be more Aqua Teens ever? Now that is a funny show. There's something about Robot Chicken I just don't like...maybe it's trying to hard? I dunno...it's weird. I'd say the stuff I'm watching is funny, and they have some good ideas, but I just don't find myself laughing very often and am usually bored towards the end.
Eh.

Well, here's something you'll be happy to hear. There's more Aqua Teen on the way... actually, quite a bit. Season 4 starts December and an Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie for early/mid 2006. The ATHF crew are trying to get a limited theatrical release for it, but I doubt it will happen. Expect a straight-to-dvd release or an airing on Adult Swim.

I hope it does get a theatrical release. Seeing ATHF in the theater would be quite cool, in my opinion.

I'd love it to get a theatrical release too, just to see the confused looks on the parents faces that take their children to see it. "This is nothing like Spongebob!"

Robot Chicken is indeed great. My personal favorite is when Voltron got served by that break dancing monster, friggin' hi-larious... Work it out on the floo'!

I pretty much watch anything they have on Adult Swim, it's all high quality stuff. Except Inuyasha and that sCRYEd thing... Of course I watch AS for comedy and not anime <.<
Also, I want to second the notion that the guys who wrote the script to the Donkey Kong sketch had read the books, that's immediatly what I thought once I saw them using grappling hooks and hand signals. After all, the Spartans are normally pretty covert, as opposed to Master Cheif's "I destroy everything that is in front of me" philosophy towards life.

WRONG. The Venture Brothers is hands down the best thing Cartoon Network has ever been involved in.

No way! Aqua Teen Hunger Force absolutely kills!

I like Sealab more than either, but they're all good. And I also dislike most the Adult Swim anime stuff.
