Robot Chicken

  • Aug. 20th, 2007 at 11:04 AM


I have recently found Robot Chicken. If you've never heard of it, it is basically a series of stop motion skits with toys as actors, and it's just brilliant. Figurines that appear are Skeletor, Optimus Prime, that guy from Thundercats, the cast of Star Wars, and Hitler. Oh, and Corey Feldman and Corey Haim rescue the drunken Bush daughters. That's the last five minutes of the video above.

Incidentally, according to Nick Kaufmann (nick_kaufmann), "Corey Haim and Corey Feldman are set to reprise the roles that made them famous in a sequel to 1987's vampire-slayer hit The Lost Boys....This straight-to-DVD version is set in the world of extreme sports. Lost Boys II: The Tribe is "like X Games meets Jackass," says exec producer Mary Viola. "Today's vampires are adrenaline junkies.""

Somehow, that's totally captured in the above.

That concept for Lost Boys II sounds kinda... dumb. Lost Boys is still my favorite vampire movie ever.

Best to avoid it then. The time to see it was definitely 1987.

I made the mistake of watching it about two years ago, having miraculously avoided it for the whole of the 1980s. Time has not been kind, I assume. Either that or it always was an unwatchable piece of shit and people just had bad taste back then.

heh. it sounds kinda tempting now. except, of course, that i'm way behind on all my watching, so i'll just skip it and watch what i have real interest in.

Robot Chicken is awesome... I think the Walt Disney/Elian sketch is one of the finest moments of comedy TV I've ever seen. Kudos also for daring to show Optimus suffering the terminal stages of prostate cancer.

I don't remember that one! Although I haven't seen the show in a few years, so maybe that was a more recent episode. I'll have to hunt it down.

I adore the Star Wars mum cuss skit, n' the Boba Fett, n' Lil' Hitler... you seen those three? The cussing takes the prize, though.

Your clip was taken offline. *sigh*
