Context WMG / RobotChicken

Go To

1[[WMG:The eponymous chicken is a RealityWarper with [[AuthorAppeal a thing for]] [[{{Crossover}} weird crossovers]].]]
2* Nah, that's probably the scientist from the opening.
3
4[[WMG:The chicken has learned pattern recognition.]]
5The sketches are gradually getting longer, and fuller in detail. This is how it appears to us, but the sketches have always been like that and the chicken is only just now starting to notice.
6
7[[WMG: Just restating what was originally said on one episode]]
8The chicken is metaphor, for the viewer, "Being forced to sit through this crap"
9
10[[WMG: The mad scientist works for the [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 Gizmonic Institute]]]]
11[[WMG: The copyrighted characters that have been parodied are really what they are like after their respective shows end.]]
12All the characters featured on the show, from Star Wars to Thunder Cats to He-Man are all really what they are like when their respective shows have been canceled. Kinda what they would be like if there was a meta behind the scenes thing going on. Hell most of them are voiced by their respective actors too.
13
14[[WMG: [[ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes Calvin]] is Fumbles.]]
15
16After spending his life in an institution he educated himself so he could get a PHD, but he still had the urge to kill even without his tiger. And the rest is history....
17* Seems to be supported by the title of the skit on Website/YouTube: "Our Newest Member, Calvin".
18
19[[WMG: The Bloopers guy is in Hell.]]
20
21As evidenced by A: The fact he commits suicide every episode and B: The fact that it turns out [[spoiler: There's no one in the audience, just [[NightmareFuel disembodied voices.]]]]
22
23[[WMG: There will be a [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic MLP:FiM]] parody soon]]
24
25Just seems kinda obvious, considering everything else they've parodied.
26* Sadly (and shockingly), this doesn't seem to be the case. The closest thing we got was the title of the show being referenced in the title of the 3rd DC Comics Special "Magical Friendship".
27
28[[WMG: There will be a ''Toys/MonsterHigh'' parody soon]]
29[[spoiler: Confirmed!]]
30
31[[WMG: There will be a ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' parody soon]]
32
33[[WMG: The Mad Scientist is an insane Show Producer]]
34Recently though, he's produced so much stuff, some of which is alternative versions of things he's already produced, that he has to get a test audience to choose what stuff is good and what stuff is bad. Sadly, real people completely hated everything. The Mad Scientist decided that he would force people to watch his shows until they picked a good amount of shows to pitch to a network. He's found out after he kidnaps a child and he flees to the castle where he finds a rotting chicken corpse and turns it into a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' to basically pick the shows. Since the chicken can't talk, however, he really can't say anything positive or negative. Therefore, Robot Chicken will continue for a long time, especially since now the Mad Scientist is the one captured and the Chicken is subjecting him to his own programs.
35
36[[WMG: ''[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' will be parodied in a future episode.]]
37Considering how other Franchise/{{Nicktoons}} were parodied in this show, this one seems kind of obvious.
38
39[[WMG: Bitch Pudding used to be known as Banana Pudding.]]
40This is why she dresses in yellow and white. However, she was berry bitchy to everyone, so they started calling her Bitch Pudding. [[ThenLetMeBeEvil She revels in the new monicker]]
41
42[[WMG: Bitch Pudding has a brother...well, a sister now.]]
43Bitch Pudding was raised with a transexual brother named Plum Pudding. Their parents (Hasty and Tapioca) weren't berry accepting of a [=M2F=] trans child, causing much strife in the family. Even though the attention Plum was getting was negative, Little Banana Pudding still felt ignored and [[FreudianExcuse acted out in order to get attention.]] Plum has since gotten the sexual reassignment surgery she always wanted and lives happily in Strawberryland, but her sister is stuck in the habit of being a bitch.
44
45[[WMG: ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' will be parodied in an episode]]
46It's the top cartoon on Disney right now. ''Robot Chicken'' is sure to tear into it eventually.
47
48[[WMG: Robot Chicken supports ''Battle of the Planets''-esq Anime dubs over other forms of anime dubbing]]
49
50[[WMG: There will be one more Star Wars special.]]
51With the new movies coming out and ripe for parodying, they'd be fools not to take advantage. No clue ''when'' they'd do it, though my guess would be every three movies. Definitely hoping they go a gag on the debate over Rey's parentage with an alien version of Maury.
52* Plus the return of Gary Phasma and his now grown up daughter Jessica
53
54[[WMG: The scientist is turning the chicken into a weapon.]]
55The real reason the scientist is forcing the chicken to watch all those skits? He wants to make the chicken smart on all those fictional worlds so that he can turn him into a weapon that already knows all about the worlds, and therefore knows how to destroy them easily.
56[[WMG: The final episode of Season 9 will involve the Mad Scientist from the first few seasons freeing the chicken]]
57Last time we saw him, he and the Chicken seemed to be enemies no more after they helped each other battle the Mad Sceintists son. With the Chicken now revived after being apparently frozen, its possible the Mad Scientist was as well and will be thawed out at the end of Season 9 in order to save the Chicken from his descendant.
58
59[[WMG: Seth Green is in love with the 1980s.]]
60Robot Chicken is a way for Seth Green to bring back TV sitcoms and cartoons he enjoyed as a kid back in the 1980s. Sure the characters get ridiculed and poked fun of in the skits, but Seth HAS to do this to avoid copyright from their owners (look up parody and fare use).
61
62[[WMG: The two gunners defending the beach from the RC crew were Lazzo and Crofford]]
63If RC managed to destroy the bunker (as the Chicken did), the show would get renewed.
64
65[[WMG: ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' will be parodied in a future episode.]]
66A possible idea for a sketch is a ''Film/Deadpool2'' ending parody where Chloe Carmichael goes back in time and gets rid of Sparky to "clean up the timeline".
67
68[[WMG: Season 5 was partially responsible for the chicken's freakout in the season finale.]]
69I'll confess. Outside of the Bitch Pudding special, I haven't seen any ''Robot Chicken'' past the end of season 4. But I have heard plenty about the show from both my uncle who still watches it, and through reading about it online, mostly by way of the [[DethroningMoment/RobotChicken Dethroning Moment of Suck]] page and the reactions to the several season 5 sketches within. I also know that in the season 5 finale, the mad scientist kidnapped the chicken's wife and the chicken broke free of his restraints to rescue his wife from the scientist. My theory from these peripheral facts is, what if the chicken reacted to the needlessly gruesome and mean-spirited sketches that comprised season 5 in the same manner much of the viewership who are willing to talk about it did (since the framing device is that he's being forced to watch much of the skits), and that he was already on the verge of raging out by the end of it, and the scientist kidnapping his wife was the straw that broke the camel's - or in this case, chicken's - back?
70
71[[WMG: The series takes place in the same universe as ''WesternAnimation/TheDreamstone'', and all the sketches are just the copyrighted characters being parodied having nightmares that Zordrak sent them while they slept.]]
72Would explain everything. Zordrak [[TheBadGuyWins finally stole the Dreamstone]] and is sending nightmares to various dimensions other than the human world ForTheEvulz. The mad scientist is [[HeroAntagonist trying to stop Zordrak and get the Dreamstone back]], so he reanimated the chicken to serve as a sort of watchdog. The mad scientist leaves the chicken in charge of trying to check if the nightmares get out of control while he goes off to a secret location with Rufus and Amberley where they plan furiously to save [[TheMultiverse the vast omniverse and every multiverse contained within it]].
73
74[[WMG: All the sketches are just nightmares the copyrighted characters being parodied are having.]]
75The Mad Scientist is a RealityWarper who is studying the dreams of people from other dimensions, and he created the chicken to serve as a watch dog.
76
77[[WMG: In the third Robot Chicken special, Jar-Jar's reason for becoming Sith was personal]]
78
79In the opening sketch, Palpatine is revealed to have changed the zoning laws on Naboo so that any Gungan eggs found would no longer be protected, but instead would be donated to a hot lunch program. Jar-Jar is among those who had listened to Palpatine's proposition. Maybe some of those Gungan eggs were his.
80
81[[WMG: Reasons why Robot Chicken keeps getting renewed.]]
82* It's Adult Swim's go-to show for filling in timeslots occupied by freshly cancelled shows.
83
84[[WMG: bitch pudding will get her own spin off]]
85
86sevral years after the bitch pudding special, bitch pudding is seen riding nick fury's car untill she runs over [[Literature/{{WarriorCats}} Sol]], (who is an antro cat instead of a relugar one) who decides to let bitch pudding join his group of random characters to stop [[WesternAnimation/{{OKKOLetsBeHeroes}} Strike]] who is threating to kill every single person alive, she eventully joins the group, HilarityEnsues
87
88[[WMG: possable episodes for the bitch pudding spin off i said above]]
89
90
91[[Webcomic/{{GrimTalesFromDownBelow}} Grim Jr.]] and [[Anime/{{YoKaiWatch}} Whisper]] (who are members of sol's group, btw) discoving a prophy that might lead to why [[WesternAnimation/{{CentaurWorld}} Wammawink's]] heard is dead
92
93the Group meeting [[WesternAnimation/{{DannyPhantom}} Technus]] and [[WebAnimation/{{HelluvaBoss}} Deerie]], who are trying to stop [[WebOriginal/{{TendiesStories}} Anon]], who is also one of strike's minions
94
95[[WebAnimation/{{CowOfTheWild}} Midnight]] (another member of Sol’s group) finding out that bitch pudding is a RealityWarper, causing her to use her powers for random stuff
96
97The group finding out that ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad'' (who are working for Strike) are killing and enslaving Historical Figures, Notably ''Creator/KarlMarx''
98
99The group encountering [[WesternAnimation/{{Numberblocks}} Zero]] and [[Film/{{BadlyDrawnRoy}} Roy]], who are also RealityWarpers
100
101[[Music/{{StarBomb}} God Of Baked Potatos]] punishes [[WesternAnimation/{{Unikitty}} Dr. Fox]] (one of the group’s allies) with the punishment is being forced to listen to [[Music/{{Ween}} Ocean Man]]
102
103The group helping [[WesternAnimation/{{VeggieTales}} Junior]] get a job at [[WesternAnimation/{{MyLifeAsATeenageRobot}} Skyway Patrol]] while trying to deal with [[Webcomic/Rain2010 Rain Flaherty]], who really hates boys.
104
105anymore ideas?
106
107[[WMG: ''WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard'' will be parodied in a future episode.]]
108
109A possible idea for a sketch could have Kion and his friends attempt to save the Pride Lands from Janja and his clan of hyenas (or so they think), only to be confronted by a group of environmentalists who want to protect the hyenas. Said environmentalists call the Lion Guard out for [[ProtagonistCenteredMorality the many times they've trespassed in the outlands to stop the hyenas from hunting in their own turf]], saving an okapi who was the rightful prey of a leopard who chased him from his own territory, and stopping predators who live in the Pride Lands, like Ushari and Makuu. When Bunga tries to protest, [[TakeThatScrappy he gets killed and/or eaten by a hyena]]. This sketch could use the official ''Lion Guard'' figures by Just Play.
110
111[[WMG: ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'' will be parodied in a future episode.]]
112
113A possible idea for a sketch could be a ''Series/BehindTheMusic''-style documentary on the Jukebox Band, similar to the one done for [[Series/TheMuppetShow Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem]]. This sketch could reveal what happened to the Jukebox Band after ''Shining Time Station'' ended; the band could likely go their separate ways and get new jobs after Schemer got rid of their jukebox. Tito would likely become a banker, given his MoneyFetish (he could even [[PooledFunds swim in it a la]] [[WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987 Scrooge McDuck]]), Didi would likely become a hairdresser, given her hairdo, Tex and Rex would likely become employees at a fast-food restaurant, given that they're both dressed like cowboys, and Grace would probably partake in equal rights rallies, given both her race and gender. This sketch could use the bendy figures of the Jukebox Band, Stacy Jones, Schemer, and Mr. Conductor by Just Toys.
114
115[[WMG:There will be ''Franchise/TheSmurfs'' sketch about Wild Smurf soon.]]
116
117[[WMG: ''VideoGame/ClockTower1995'' will be parodied in a future episode.]]
118(Once it comes out to the West in 2024 first, that is.) Bobby is chasing Jennifer with his trademark giant scissors, but, after running slower and slower, he eventually drops them onto the floor as he wheezes and complains that his back and arms are "f*cking killing [him]". So, he gets a new idea, and instead begins manically running after Jennifer with normal-sized scissors instead, one in each hand--alas, while he ''is'' much more mobile now, he winds up tripping and impaling his own face with said scissors, killing himself. Jennifer looks at the pitiful scene, turns to camera, and just shrugs while saying something along the lines of "Well, sh*t." before just calmly walking away.
