Robot Chicken S1-10
Robot Chicken, Adult Swim’s legendary stop motion sketch comedy, is back with more black comedy, pop culture parody and surreal humour. It’s created and executive produced for Adult Swim by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich.
Robot Chicken has won six Emmys, an Annie Award and the Jury Award at Annecy. Most of the characters are voiced by the Emmy-winning series creators Seth Green, Matthew Senreich and Breckin Meyer. Oscar-nominated Ted, Family Guy and The Orville creator Seth MacFarlane is a series regular while the rest of the cast reads like a who’s-who of geek-out hall-of-famers, from Patrick Stewart, George Takei, Christopher Lloyd and J.K. Simmons to Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston and Daniel Radcliffe.
Among the upcoming highlights to look forward to, Season 9 takes on Westworld, Star Wars, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Donald Trump, while Season 10 marks the series’ 200th episode.
As well as ten seasons of hilarity, also watch the specials. The first three send up the iconic Star Wars movies, then the Walking Dead also finally gets its turn on the Robot Chicken rotisserie with the long-awaited Robot Chicken Walking Dead special: Look Who’s Walking, in which the Robot Chicken Nerd encounters an ageing survivor at the Walking Dead Museum.
