[[Cosmo Spacely|Mr. Spacely]]'s [[Spacely Space Sprockets|company]] had created Rosie in this continuity, and after George's death, [[Cosmo Spacely|Mr. Spacely]] (voiced by Mike Henry), he becomes the new patriarch of the family, much to the chagrin of Elroy and Astro (voiced by [[Donald Faison]] and Mike Henry, respectively), which therefore implicates him in the death of George (and for some reason implicates, Astro, also). Judy (voiced by Chad Morgan) doesn't spend much time with the family anymore; the last time she was seen was in an alley at the back of a Chinese restaurant and is kidnapped by the chef from inside. Rosie pleads her innocence to a judge, who isn't sure what to believe, but crushes her anyway just to be on the safe side.

It's alive!

Robot Chicken is an American adult animated stop motion sketch comedy TV series produced by Seth Green's Stoopid Monkey, and Keith Crofford and Mike Lazzo's Williams Street, and Sony Pictures Television for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim night block. It has been on the air since February 20, 2005, with 200 episodes across 10 seasons, along with several specials. The episodes are 11 minutes long.

Captain Planet

  • "1987:" At the Turner HQ, Ted Turner hears about Pan-Global dumping sludge into the Atlantic Ocean, which enrages Turner so much that he dresses up as Captain Planet and goes about the streets on a lunatic crusade against injustice shouting "Captain Planet!" He kicks down a man who discards a cup into a regular bin instead of recycling it, before ziplining to Pan-Global HQ, where executives are already planning on dumping more sludge into the Grand Canyon. Ted holds one of them out of the window to force him into signing a document that they'll stop dumping sludge. He then drops the guy anyway, who falls into a recycling dumpster. He then ends the skit with a PSA-like announcement that he will kill you if don't protect the environment.
    • The next segment called "Best Robot Chicken Ever," has Hal Sparks proclaim the biggest catchphrase of the new millennium will be shouting "Captain Planet!" before doing something lurid, like kicking people in the testicles, like Hal Sparks and his friends do.

Grape Ape

  • "1987:" At the end of the Chutes & Ladders trailer starring Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson (a parody of their Starsky & Hutch remake), the narrator lists a bunch of other films that should star Stiller, including one called The Great Ape Race.
  • "I'm Trapped:" in the segment, "Hear the G," Grape Ape is dead with police officers surrounding his body, once they checked his ID, they realize he was saying Grape Ape and they didn't hear the "G" in his name which is why they shot him.
