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.

Flintstones

Go-Bots

  • "Anne Marie's Pride:"

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.

Hong Kong Phooey

  • "S&M Present:" To avenge the deaths of his bandmates in NSNYC at the hands of the Yakuza, Joey "The Fat One" Fatone enters a Yakuza tournament, with his first challenger being Hong Kong, voiced by Green. Hong Kong is an exceptional fighter, but is killed after Joey distracts Hong Kong with a ball.

Jabberjaw

Jetsons

Josie and the Pussycats

Laff-A-Lympics

  • "Ban on the Fun:" in a segment that parodies the Laff-A-Lympics cartoon and the 1972 Munich massacres. The Really Rottens plan a full-on massacre on the Yogi Yahooeys, by taking members of the team hostage and murdering them. This caused the Scooby Doobies to hunt down the Rottens individually and murder them. This skit plays off the joke of some HB cartoons spoofing shows or movies outside of the company itself.

The Powerpuff Girls

  • "Celebrity Rocket:" During a three-second channel flip, Professor Utonium (voiced by Abe Benrubi), who's spiraled on the floor of his lab, comments to the Powerpuff Girls, "All thanks to stem cell research," with the girls (voiced by Green) either cheekily or sinisterly replying, "Uh huh."

Scooby-Doo

  • "Operation Rich in Spirit:" In the last skit, "A Scooby Friday," Mystery Inc. goes sleuthing at Camp Crystal Lake where they all get killed by Jason Voorhies, except for Velma, as she is a virgin. Jason Voorhies, who's really an old man, rectifies this by sleeping with Velma. The voices of Mystery Inc. are provided by those who starred in the first two live-action movies, except for Dave Coulier as Scooby.

Shirt Tales

  • "Dragon Nuts:"

Smurfs

Snorks

Space Ghost

  • "Suck It:" At the beginning of the episode, in the segment appropriately called "Previously on Robot Chicken," Adult Swim president Mike Lazzo summons Peter Griffin, Space Ghost (voiced by George Lowe), and Master Shake as a council of judges to decide on Seth Green, Robot Chicken, and Mad Scientist's future in a parody of General Zod and his disciples being banished to the Phantom Zone in the Superman movies. Their verdict is guilty.

Super Friends

  • "The Deep End:" In a parody of MTV's the Real World, Gleek appears in the "Real World: Metropolis" segment, where Batman finds him electrocuting Robin through his nipples.
  • "S&M Present:" Joey Fatone's final opponent in "The Fat One" segment is Britney Spears, who says "ineck chock" to grow in size like Apache Chief. It also allows her to grow more powerful by absorbing Christina Aguilera, Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, and Ashley Simpson, although this is something Apache Chief can't do himself.
  • "Kiddie Pool:" In "The Incredible Adventures of the Olsen Twins," the Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen are called on by "the Chief" to save the city from a dragon, to which they then spoof the Wonder Twins by crying, "Olsen twin powers activate!" Ashley turns into an eagle and Mary Kate into a bucket of water, respectively. Gleek also pops up in time to grab the Mary Kate bucket and to be picked up by Ashley. When the trio makes it to the dragon, Gleek hits the dragon with the Mary Kate bucket. The Dragon shoots fire back at them, so they land, and Gleek trips the dragon with a banana peel, but it backfires when the dragon slips right on top of Gleek and kills him.
    • "Toy Meets Girl", which was produced after, but aired before, has clips from "The Incredible Adventures of the Olsen Twins."
