Robot Chicken: The Complete Series (DVD)
(Seth Green, et al / 24-Disc DVD / TV-MA / 2025 / Warner Bros.)
Overview: Actor Seth Green (Family Guy) and Matthew Senreich created the off-the-wall comedy hit, which is a series of pop-culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls.
The title character was an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by mad scientist Fritz Huhnmorder, who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode.
Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment invites fans to relive two decades of pop culture mayhem with the release of
Robot Chicken: The Complete Series on DVD October 7th, 2025.
For the first time ever, 228 episodes of the Emmy® Award-winning Adult Swim series, including iconic specials themed around
DC, Star Wars, The Walking Dead, Archie Comics, Christmas, and more, will be available in one 24 DVD disc definitive collection!
DVD Verdict: This milestone release celebrates 20 years of the rapid-fire “channel flips” that propelled viewers through Robot Chicken’s twisted takes on nostalgia, pop culture, and everything in between. Fueled
by old-school stop-motion animation and a crew of deeply disturbed toys, the quarter-hour show defined a generation of late-night animated sketch comedy.
Including - over the aforementioned 24 discs with 228 episodes - is a slew of 20th anniversary special bonus content, only found here within this DVD set, so what other reason do you need now to buy this INCREDIBLE box-set?!
Personally, I was first told about Robot Chicken by a friend. So when I set my VCR to record it back then I really still wasn’t too sure what to expect. The next day I watched the show. Using dolls, Barbies, Action Figures, and other little toys, Robot Chicken burst into my brain as one of the most entertaining shows on Cartoon Network in a long time!
As it says before the show starts, it’s not intended for those under 14, but hey, if it’s your family sitting down to watch it YOU make that call, not the censors. I mean, the worst I saw within the run of this show was a female paying for her required services (Pizza Delivery, Pool Cleaners, etc.) with sex, but even then the program censored it appropriately ... and still made it funny!
Skits like NRA: Kids Club, Sci-Fi Convention War, and Micheal Jackson’s Comeback had me gasping for air while I laughed! Some mature language is included, but extreme swearing like the S and F words are bleeped out in comedic sense, trust me! Gun-based violence is also included, and also hilarious, in my humble opinion.
The show is just great in its ribs at modern entertainment, the government, and basically anything that is in the public’s radar. And, as an added piece of comedy, at the end of each episode is a Stupid Monkey picture, which changes with each new episode and shows a monkey doing something dangerous in every scene.
If I had to pick a few stand outs, for me at least, I would plum for Jason Voorhees at Home, where RC portrays famous characters in their off-hours, acting like normal human beings. Here we love Jason’s childish, gleeful gestures. He’s like a little kid on Christmas Eve—that is, if Christmas was an orgy of teenage death and destruction!
Another would be Pokemon Bloopers where we quickly discover that Pokemon don’t live glamorous lives. They’re imprisoned, after all, and living in a tiny ball isn’t exactly a resort weekend. Notice how Pikachu prefers to ride on Ash’s shoulder, rather than cramming himself into his teensy sphere. It’s no wonder that Squirtle finally can’t take it anymore, snaps, and goes off script. Pikachu panics. It’s a recipe for instant hilarity!
Then we have This Will Only Hurt for a Second, because, well, nobody liked going to the doctor as a kid. I mean, come on now, even the lollipop at the end didn’t justify the massive pain and discomfort. Despite the many finger pricks and syringe injections that we received, we never had a doctor who scared us like this. It’s every nightmare, come to life!
And the last couple I will highlight are Delicious Gummy Bears where there is something just so simple, yet so funny about this sketch. Robot Chicken is at its best when it asks, “What if?” What if Cookie Monster attacks the Keebler Elves? What if Darth Vader has a dinner party? And, in this case, what if a gummy bear gets his leg caught in a trap? It’s exactly as wonderful, and as horrible, as you thought it would be.
And my final choice would be Law and Order: KFC. Law & Order has had four spin-offs and countless imitators. Some incarnation of Law & Order has been on the air for nearly 24 years, and the formula has gotten a little predictable. This sketch lays that formula bare. You’ll never watch a cop procedural show in the same way again!
Simply put, Seth Green is a genius when it comes to making fun of all the things that were around him while growing up, and sometimes the best jokes in the show are only a couple seconds long. Everything from Voltron in a dance-off to a group of super villains carpooling to work, with tons of short channel flips in between, makes Robot Chicken a show worth catching every time it comes on TV; let alone within this new box-set.
In truth, the only problem I can muster for Robot Chicken is ...... nope, f**k it, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with this TV show and now that it has been released just before Christmas as this incredible 24 DVD disc box-set - and with bonus extras to boot - well, get your copy TODAY!
