Robot Chicken - Season 4


It's hard to differentiate seasons of Robot Chicken mentally because each episode is such a grab-bag of random jokes and references. I enjoy watching the show, but its various bits rarely stick out significantly. I wouldn't even be sure they've actually shown all twenty episodes (besides this year's biannual Christmas special) if the Internet didn't tell me so. Just skimming a list of sketches from this season, here are the ones that jump out at me. The premiere where the show gets canceled and the two creators go to various famous producers for help was funny, though while Seth Green has direct connections to both Joss Whedon and Seth MacFarlane, I couldn't find any such link between either of them and Ron Moore. An episode of Hannah Montana that turns into Weekend at Bernie's was pretty good. Billy Dee Williams getting fed up with people trash-talking Lando was good. Uh... you know, man. It's a show where action figures and clay sculptures make fun of old cartoons and assault each other violently. You know if you like it.
