This has become unfunny and unbearable


I've been a fan sense the very beginning of Robot Chicken. It'd some of the most laugh out loud funny moments I've seen in a show. I've been a devoted fan, eagerly awaiting each new episode and season. But, my god has it become bad recently. For me at least, the last episode, Eaten by Cats, was the last straw. It was beyond horrible. I found myself jumping ahead through bits, not even caring to watch it for a first time. It was just unfunny, poorly written and a disgrace of what the show use to be. Please Seth and the other Producers, you have a good idea for a show and a solid history. Either hire on some good writers or just please stop.

Funny, I just stopped halfway through this season. Season 5 should have been a sign, It had some funny moments but was lacking. This season is the end of what once was a great thing. I also laughed much through seasons 1-4. Some great observations, commentary and crude toilet humor. Sad to see what it has become:(

yeah, its become so bad that i actually stopped and came here to see if i was the only one with this same opinion... and im not.

season six is just completely awful.

Gotta agree. Hasn't been good for quite sometime

Agree to disagree...

It's still hilarious with no signs of slowing down.

With so many skits, there are only a few mis-fires. I always find a way to laugh my ass off (and I'm not talking about sparking up). The animation & writing is for the most part, hilarious... I don't know what's not to like.


There are only a few stupid sketches that I wonder how it made it beyond the storyboards... usually singing ones.

Most of the skits/sketches are all of an animal/person/cartoon character getting the ass kicked (or head chopped off, or some limbs)... and ends in a bloody mess. It's always funny because it's just something we imagine we WISH would happen... and they've gotten to be so good at it.

Season 6 being awful?! Bullshet! What about the "Angry Birds"-sketch? That was hilarious! XD

RC has always been hit-or-miss, but the hits, IMO, easily outweigh the misses in every episode I've seen.

Not a thing has changed since the first season so I don't understand how someone can say it sucks now but it was amazing at the start. It's probably one of the most consistent shows I've seen.

reply

Agree! I love it and it has NEVER changed for me! Season 3 is probably my favorite but I love them all! And the father dipping his son's head in the soup? Hilarious! XD

reply

I like them more on dvds, don't care to watch them on Adult Swim. Probably the beeping since that can destroy some scenes.

I still watch the 1st 3 seasons. Season 4 was okay but not as good, didn't care for season 5 and 6 much.

The show isn't just bad. Its annoying as *beep* I can't even stand to listen to it.

reply

really dont get it. robot chicken has been the most consistent mock show ersver. captain kirk on space herpes...come on, if you cant dig that i think you never got the gist of the show in the first place. the mario skit was f"""ing hillarious as well....just saying. 80s references never die.

reply

Eh, it's nowhere as strong as it used to be but it still gets a laugh or two out of me.

I have an unbelievably long ignore list.

reply

What do you mean by "become?" It was always unfunny and unbearable.
