"Well, all the jokes can't be good, you have to expect that once in awhile," Groucho Marx apologized to the camera in Animal Crackers. Though some of the gags in Robot Chicken's third season lay an egg, creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich have nothing to apologize for, except maybe the moment in the "Half-Assed Christmas Special," in which Charlie Brown asks Snoopy, "Have you seen Linus? He was supposed to walk me to chemo." With its barrage of sight gags and pop culture mash-ups (Rankin/Bass's Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer meets Godfather II when elf Hermey, the aspiring dentist, winds up like Fredo), this ceaselessly-inventive Emmy Award-winning stop-motion animated series is the fastest 10 minutes (without commercials) on television. There is something here to befuddle (if not offend) everyone. Children of the '80s might be unfamiliar with Mister Magoo, just as Baby Boomers may not be acquainted with She-Ra. Still, you don't need to have seen Forrest Gump to be tickled by the sight gag that takes "run, forest, run," literally. For all the sophomoric humor (yes, there will be fart jokes and geysers of plasticine blood), there are transcendent bits of brilliance, such as when Ted Kennedy and porn star Jenna Jameson team up to slay celebrities (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paris Hilton) who have intruded into politics or porn, a goof on If You Give a Mouse a Cookie which somehow descends into vampirism and Earth's destruction, and the Kanye West moment when a Smurf complains, "The king doesn't care about blue people" after a Katrina-like disaster devastates the Smurfs' domain. Robot Chicken continues to attract A-listers who get it, including Ethan Hawke, who reprises his Training Day character as the voice of a rookie monster riding with Godzilla. As befits a series that rewards geek-like obsession, this two-disc set features immersive extras--lively audio commentaries for each episode, video blogs of writer pitches, deleted scenes--that reveal just what makes this Robot tick. --Donald Liebenson

Brilliantly insane!! November 14, 2008
TazBorg (NJ)
A perfect blend of pop culture insanity!!! You can tell that the creators of this were 70's to 80's children. Crude stop motion animation is just fun as heck to watch! I've bought all 3 seasons released so far & the only "bad" thing I can say about any of the season sets is being upset when the last episode is over & I want more!
 What can I say but Robot Chicken! November 11, 2008
rapturedrebel
I will say that this season was darker than the last two but otherwise it is great.
International comedy November 5, 2008
Ferdinand Von Schenk (Jena, Erlangen)
Robot chicken is great !
Even though I'm from Germany the differences between nerds in the state and here are little-to-none ;-)
I hope the show never ends.
Strong Buy for those in their 30s October 18, 2008
CJ (Seattle, WA USA)
With the third outing of Seth Green's Robot Chicken, once again a collection of random stop-action toy skits lasting about thirty seconds a piece, the animation is even more smooth and the funny ideas keep coming. They continue to plumb and parody ideas mostly from 80s toys with a few more modern references, so it helps if you know the period (MASK is a pretty obscure reference, as well as the non-lion Voltron). Yes, that is Stan Lee and the Micro Machines guy. At about ten minutes an episode, it's great TV for the ADD generation in small doses, and works well when you can see them together and pause at a few scenes.
Odd defect October 15, 2008
Charles D. Ninesling (Long Island)
The 5 star rating is for the show itself, but I'm on my second copy of this DVD set and I'm experiencing the same weird defect. The subtitles pop up at the beginning of each skit for about 10 seconds or so and then disappear. Otherwise the discs play normally. I haven't seen anything reported about this online, and I can't imagine it's isolated to the 2 copies I got. So it's back to Best Buy to try out a 3rd copy.
