Top 10 Robot Chicken sketches

They forgot the Star Trek parody (i.e. "Revenge of the Red Shirts!" ) and of course Jesus and the Argonauts.




Also, most of us who've seen the Star Wars "Emperor gets a phone call from Vader" RC sketch agree it's one of the funniest and most re-watchable. (And it doesn't hurt that it's "Quagmire" doing the voice!)

Well check this out!

Call it a coincidence or call it fate, but three minutes after finishing my post on that horrific Star Wars trailer, this little nugget showed up in my RSS feeds. According to CNN, Mark Hamill has agreed to resurrect Luke Skywalker for -- wait for it -- a thirty-minute Robot Chicken special on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. Not only that, but George Lucas (who, of course, had to give the greenlight) will play himself in the special. Imagine that one! Lucas has lightened up. I love it! Apart from acting, Lucasfilm helped collaborate with Chicken creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich, going so far as to provide them with sound files on Chewbacca and R2-D2. The special, Robot Chicken: Star Wars, will premiere on Adult Swim this June 17 at 10PM EST.

I've never been a huge fan of Seth Green, but the man earned a ton of respect from me when his Robot Chicken hit the boob tube last year (or was it the year before, I forget?). The show, which utilizes a stop-motion animation technique, is so ridiculously funny that I often find myself laughing so loud, my neighbors are forced to bang on the wall. This entire special came about after Robot Chicken featured a skit called Emperor's Phone Call, in which Darth Vader calls the Emperor to let him know the Death Star has been blown up. When reps from Lucasfilm wanted the sketch for StarWars.com, a meeting was held between Green, Senreich and Lucasfilm, they pitched their ideas and, now, Luke Skywalker is coming back! Now, don't get too excited -- it's not like Hamill will bring back Luke for the upcoming animated Star Wars TV show, but knowing those Chicken boys, I'm sure this one-time appearance will be worth a watch.

Word on the streets is that the hit and miss show "Robot Chicken" has legally done what has got many filmmakers sued over the years. They've somehow managed to get George Lucas to not only allow "Star Wars" to be parodied, they've also got Lucas himself to lend his voice to the show.

Mark Hamill will also appear as Luke Skywalker and "real" sound effects of Chewie, R2-D2 and others will be featured. The real question here is, what did "Robot Chicken" co-creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich do to get Lucas on board? We've seen Seth Green and he's small enough to fit in the R2-D2 costume. Hopefully there's no sexual favors being bandied about.

Posted on August 25, 2006 I wonder why... ROFLMAO!

They'd still be there if some large monolithic corporation wasn't such a hard ass.

Sadly, now it's rare to find entire episodes (for example, here's a great one in all its 10 minute glory -- including "You Can't Do That On Robot Chicken" -- and even a quick reference to Logan's Run! amazing list of voices at the end too )


But lately I've been trying to do something kinda smart when I post links to YT or Google Video. I make the link a SEARCH RESULTS page. With RC a lot of the time there's like 5 or 6 copies at any time... Although the J&TA has only one copy (perhaps it is quite recent?)


As an example...

But TWO come up with this search


I just hope most of the better vids we've posted on this forum include the *title* to help it be "rediscovered" if need be...
