Top 10 Robot Chicken Sketches

Here’s a mystery you might not have heard about those meddling kids. Voiced by the actors who portray the characters in the live-action movie, Scooby and the gang encounter their most murderous criminal yet when they make their way to Camp Crystal Lake. Upon meeting camp counselors Phyllis Diller and Don Knotts, Fred suggests their regular team split up, leaving him and Daphne to do their regular “investigating.” Scooby and Shaggy are the first to encounter Jason, while Fred continues to insist that his ascot is completely heterosexual. In the end, Velma is the one to solve the mystery and unexpectedly finds love. Hey, who’re we to judge?

Ah, Robot Chicken. Spoiling childhoods, one viewer at a time. In this sketch, the lovable toys from Toy Story are the victims, as it tells the story of a time where the young Andy grows up and comes back home after a semester of college. The toys are sure happy to see him, but the young adult Andy has brought home a lady friend, rendering his interest in his childhood playmates to an all time low. Buzz Lightyear regrettably gets the worst – or best? – treatment, leading Woody to take obligatory action to help his dear old pal.

Have you enjoyed meeting all the characters the show created over its first five seasons? Would you like to see them all skewered in a violent and bloody showdown? You do!? Well, then you’re gonna love the 100th episode. This sketch begins with the Robot Chicken returning home to find his wife kidnapped by the mad scientist. In pursuit of the woman he loves, the Robot Chickenenters a tower and fights through a horde of the show’s signature characters. Upon reaching the top of the tower, our cyborg friend defeats his arch nemesis and rescues his wife, thus starting a whole new chapter for the show’s opening sequence.

Superheroes don’t always show up wearing capes and spandex; some are media tycoons that head your favorite cable news networks. Aside from being one of the most recognizable names in the business of television, Ted Turner is an active philanthropist, and this sketch takes that idea and expands on it, showing him taking on the role of Captain Planet and delivering some swift justice. While covered in blue paint and green hair dye, Turner terrorizes the city streets, searching for eco-criminals and threatening the non-eco-friendly with violence and death. Well, at least his cause is noble.

This one is otherwise known as the Darkest Sketch in Television History. Just how dark can a sketch acted out by dolls get, you may be asking? It’s best never to challenge this comedy series. What begins as an innocent visit from the tooth fairy soon transforms into a violent and painfully morbid experience for one scared little kid. The scene then switches focus to two parents arguing outside the child’s door, and branches off into multiple endings that become increasingly dark. To help save the mood, the ending of the sketch breaks the fourth wall, and awards the little kid a huge check for partaking in the darkest sketch in history. Yup, still mortified.

Life as a gummy bear must be delightful... well, at least most of the time. Frolicking gleefully through a serene meadow is a happy pink gummy bear that stumbles foot first into less-than-friendly bear trap. Nearly instantaneously the once joyful gummy bear enters a world of anger and pain, and screams at the top of its lungs. Shortly after coming to grips with its fate, the gummy bear resigns itself to eating its way out of the trap, only to meet one more conveniently placed bear trap. Poor bear.

Sure, blowing up the Death Star crippled the Empire terribly, but it also forced one very awkward phone call between Darth Vader and the Emperor. The wacky writers behind “Robot Chicken” put their minds to work to imagine just how such a conversation would go, and let us tell you it’s a lot more casual than you might expect. While first infuriated, the Emperor brings satire to the ordeal by mocking the Supreme Commander for his incompetence. But he’s compelled to stop his brutal rant when Vader begins to cry over his failure. The wussy-ness is strong with this one.

Kid won’t stop misbehaving? Consider buying them their very own Apocalypse Pony! This cheerfully lethal toy promises to deliver the end of days to all the bad little boys and girls of the world. This comical parody commercial introduces us to four different Apocalypse Ponies: Pestilence Pony, Famine Pony, War Pony and Death Pony. After War Pony gets the parents’ attention with a couch fire, they’re soon introduced to the final pony. The end of the world has never looked so cute and cuddly.

Needing to save the universe from a malicious threat, Earth enlists the power of Voltron and its intergalactic dance moves. But once their alien opponent breaks out its boombox, the Voltron team knows it’s serve or get served. One after the other, the two opponents showcase their best moves – that is, until Voltron breaks out its last one. Out of desperation, and total embarrassment, Voltron just straight up kills the alien. So, while they still felt the sting and shame of their of the epic serving, fortunately, they’re able to laugh it off.
