THE MOVIE<\/strong> \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d<\/b> series has been offending nearly everybody in the world and telling off color jokes and dammit, six seasons in and a couple specials, it\u2019s still pretty dang funny. This sixth season the gang takes on G.I. Joe, taking out Osama Bin Laden, suicide bombers, the absurdity of the show \u201cHoarders\u201d and other clever humor some dealing with current times but more often than not, some great shots at nostalgic figures and toys. Oh, and in a bout of randomness, they also have fun with Wilson from \u201cCast Away\u201d.<\/p>\n

So… um… \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d<\/b> really isn\u2019t a complicated show so all I can say now is that although I do believe previous seasons were a bit better but season six does have some funny bits and the voice guest stars are as stellar from Melissa Joan Hart (briefly reprising Sabrina), Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., Linda Cardellini and Matthew Lillard (as the \u201cScooby Gang\u201d), Evan Rachel Wood, Olivia Wilde, Billy Zane, Patrick Stewart and many others.<\/p>\n

Episodes:
\n<\/b>1. Executed by the State
\n2. Crushed by a Steamroller on My 53rd<\/sup> Birthday
\n3. Punctured Jugular
\n4. Poisoned by Relatives
\n5. Hurtled from a Helicopter into a Speeding Train
\n6. Disemboweled by an Orphan
\n7. In Bed Surrounded by Loved Ones
\n8. Choked on Multi-Colored Scarves
\n9. Hemlock, Gin and Juice
\n10. Collateral Damage in Gang Turf War
\n11. Eviscerated Post-Coital by a Six-Foot Mantis
\n12. Butchered in Burbank
\n13. Robot Chicken\u2019s ATM Christmas Special
\n14. Papercut to Aorta
\n15. Caffeine-Induced Aneurysm
\n16. Eaten by Cats
\n17. Botched Jewel Heist
\n18. Robot Fight Accident
\n19. Choked on a Bottle Cap
\n20. Immortal<\/p>\n

All in all, \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d<\/b>, which is uncensored, continues to have success even after five<\/span> six seasons merely using puppets and outlandish gags. The crew Seth Green and Matthew Senreich have brought together is top of the line in delivering mostly hilarious skits (I say mostly since, like in any series, you will have your duds). This might not be the strongest season they\u2019ve done but it\u2019s still really entertaining and worth checking out especially if you\u2019re a fan of often juvenile humor and\/or non-PC jokes.<\/p>\n

VIDEO \u2013 3.75\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cRobot Chicken\u201d<\/b> arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p high-definition transfer. The show is presented in 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and is on par or most likely exactly what was shown on Cartoon Network. Colors are bright and the detail level, for clay\/action figures\/animation, is good. I can\u2019t say this would be a whole lot better than the DVD except maybe less pixilation.

AUDIO \u2013 3.25\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 included is more or less the same as the fifth season where the bulk of the episodes are dialogue heavy and are pretty crisp and clear while the action elements sound decent but don\u2019t offer much depth. It\u2019s probably on par with a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track.<\/p>\n

OVERALL \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Overall, \u201cRobot Chicken\u201d: Season 6<\/b> continues to be a successful and very funny series for Adult Swim. The comedy is often gold and Seth Green and company often cross the line offending multiple people and cultures with off-color humor. The Blu-ray released by Warner Brothers once again has some great bonus content while the audio\/video transfers weren\u2019t great but still adequate considering the subject.<\/p>\n
