Top 10 Times Robot Chicken Said What We Were All Thinking
#10: “Cats Are Jerks” & “Jerk Cats Conspiracy”
“The Deep End” & “Fool’s Goldfinger” This sketch shows a cat tripping a person, which causes the person to fall down the stairs. Then a caption appears that states the main idea of the sketch: “Cats Are Jerks.” Even people who love cats have to admit that they’re mischievous sociopaths. Cats aren’t often known for being considerate, sympathetic creatures, as most people who have owned one will tell you. “Robot Chicken” doubled down on this notion a few seasons later, with a more ridiculous, albeit no less funny sketch. Are cats behind the worst events in human history? No. Would they take over the world if they could? Probably.
#9: “Mickey’s Admirer”
Mickey Mouse vs Bugs Bunny
“The Core, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover” Anyone that’s taken a close look at Mickey Mouse and his girlfriend Minnie when they’re side by side might’ve noticed they look similar in appearance. It’s almost as if Minnie Mouse were basically Mickey in a dress. That observation isn’t lost on the “Robot Chicken” team in this sketch where Donald Duck tells Mickey that Minnie is checking him out while they’re hanging out at a diner. However, Mickey declines Minnie’s advances because he too notices the obvious similarities. Nevertheless, Donald isn’t discouraged from hitting on Daisy, even though that pair suffers from the same problem.
#8: “Hurt Locker Angel”
Top 10 TV Character Deaths that Hurt the Show
“Fool’s Goldfinger” This sketch finds a guy striking up a conversation with a girl at a college party and asking what her major is. When she tells him it’s philosophy, he mocks her decision, resulting in an awkward scenario where Jeremy Renner’s character from “The Hurt Locker” has to help the young man diffuse the situation. Let’s face it, some degrees are more marketable than others. And the monetary value of a field of study is important. Having said that though, when you’re talking to a college student about their major and don’t think theirs has any practical value, don’t be a jerk like this guy.
#7: “A Rugrats Joke”
Top 10 Times Robot Chicken Roasted Kids Shows
“Link’s Sausages” Fans of this Nickelodeon show have been baffled by the negligence of the parents and their inability to properly watch their kids, and the worst offender has to be Stu Pickles, Tommy’s dad. In this sketch, Didi finds the babies playing in the street, and when she brings them back home, she chews her husband out for his negligence. This is something that fans of the show who were bothered by the terrible parenting could appreciate. But because this is “Robot Chicken,” Didi eventually goes overboard with her angry rant.
#6: “Bird Learns”
The Shocking True Story of Black Bird
“Atta Toy” In this sketch, a papa bird teaches his kid about the fine art of finding proper targets on which to defecate, all of which would directly affect some human bystander. Similar to the “Cats Are Jerks” sketches, this one confirms what we’ve all long suspected about birds: they’re plotting against us, and choose where to do their business to deliberately bring maximum frustration on everyone. Okay, while that all does sound absurd, it still feels like that’s the case, especially when you find bird droppings on your car or mailbox.
#5: “Bob Dylan’s Music Invades Carpool”
Top 10 Times Robot Chicken Made Fun of Anime
“No Wait, He Has a Cane” During a carpool ride, a dad plays Bob Dylan music for his daughter and her friends before sharing his views on the celebrated folk singer. Unfortunately, the young girls don’t appreciate the music, and they take drastic measures to escape the cringe forced upon them. This sketch carries a message to parents that just because Dylan was cool when you were growing up, playing him to a new generation won’t make you cool. It’s alright to love the music of your youth, but for goodness sake, don’t torture your children with it.
#4: “Pepsi Haters”
Top 10 Pepsi Commercials
“Book of Corrine” Aren’t you always disappointed that when you go to a restaurant and ask for Coke, the server tells you they don’t have it and offers Pepsi as an alternative? This sketch feels your pain, and when the customer is faced with this scenario, he flips out and leaves in disgust. Those of us with a particular soda preference might fantasize about acting this way, but alas, we realize it isn’t socially acceptable to knock over the table and insult the wait staff. “Robot Chicken” correctly recognizes that Pepsi is a poor substitute for Coke.
#3: “The Book of Your Life”
Top 10 Times Robot Chicken Made Fun of Video Games
“Sausage Fest” In this sketch, a man is given a magical book in the afterlife that can answer every question in exact detail. While God wants the man to ask important questions concerning morality, the man is too caught up in inane details like how many times he heard a certain song. If we were given such a book to take for a spin, we’d probably get caught up in the frivolous and entertaining questions too rather than focus on the way we impacted our loved ones in our life. It would be hard to pass up the opportunity.
#2: “Eat Beef or Die”
Top 20 Times Robot Chicken Made Fun of Star Wars
“Executed by the State” A “Terminator-like” dystopia befalls the future in this sketch where cows have taken over the planet because everyone becomes vegetarians. When a man sent back in time tries to get a young woman to eat a burger to prevent this horrible outcome, she refuses despite knowing the consequences of her decision. This leads the man to get to the center of why she’s really a vegetarian and force her to admit the truth. This sketch plays into what many meat-eaters have long suspected about vegetarians: they’re only avoiding meat to feel morally superior to everyone else.
#1: “League of Predatory Men”
The Amazing True Story of A League of Their Own
“Hermie Nursery in: Seafood Sensation” The superhero group in this sketch is composed of movie characters that audiences used to have no problem with but are now seen as creepy now that social norms have changed. One member of the group is Anthony Michael Hall’s character from “Sixteen Candles,” who takes advantage of a heavily intoxicated girl toward the end of the movie. Chances are, if you go back and watch these movies, you’d agree with “Robot Chicken” that these characters are problematic. The show is hardly a woke bastion of political correctness, so when even they call out something for being problematic, that’s saying something.
