History DethroningMoment / RobotChicken

* Tropers/{{fluffything}}: The [[Creator/OprahWinfrey Oprah]] parody sketch is one of those moments that starts off hilarious and then turns into a huge DMOS right at the end. To elaborate, the sketch starts off with Oprah filling people's wishes from giving some guy a sandwich to giving away free cars to raising the dead so they can see their loved ones one last time. That in and itself could've been hilarious. But, nope. Instead the sketch ends with a little girl asking if Oprah could help make "her daddy stop hitting her mom" and Oprah just stares awkwardly. Hey, uh, writers at ''Robot Chicken''? Here's a little tip. DomesticAbuse is not funny! Look, ''Robot Chicken'' has gone downhill over the past few seasons with so many terrible gross-out and downright mean-spirited jokes. But, to me, the lowest they've gone is thinking that a joke about a child witnessing domestic abuse is funny.

Considering that ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'''s a show that bases its results on many random sketches that can last from a few seconds to a few minutes, you're more likely to find a sketch or two that you didn't like on an episode that you pretty much enjoyed otherwise. [[DarthWiki/DethroningMomentOfSuck These]] are those sketches.

* Tropers/KrazyTVWatcher: Removing my previous entry for this page, since I found a new DMOS. One sketch for this rancid stop-motion series had a sketch based on the [=PS3=] giveaway in the episode "Celebutard Mountain". To recap, Adult Swim hosted a giveaway for a UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 back in 2006 and made a follow-up skit in response to the winner, Duffy. The sketch itself involves Seth Green calling said winner onto the stage, and how does Seth congratulate him? [[DisproportionateRetribution By stabbing the poor man]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill repeatedly]]. When Duffy was near death, he got his [=PlayStation=] 3 chucked right at his head. Seth then tells him to enjoy his new system. What really annoyed me was both the parts where Duffy got killed and the end of the skit. Two things: First off, this is no way to treat a winner. Second, how can Duffy enjoy the [=PlayStation=] 3 if Seth mauled him to death? If you wish to see the clip for yourself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG8mg-O2W7k go here]].
* Tropers/{{Dylanmc6}}: There are reasons why I stopped watching ''Robot Chicken'' completely. That includes [[ShallowParody shallow parodies]], the amount of extreme transphobia in some of the sketches, and disrespect towards the stuff they tried to parody in the show (and failed to do so in the process). I really hope Adult Swim would cancel that show shortly after when the 2023 writers' strike ends.

* Tropers/AlexSora89: Definitely the "Toy Story 4" sketch, that is, without a doubt, the worst sketch to ever come from the show[[note]](tasteless BlackComedy jokes that are offensive towards serious topics aside)[[/note]], which is saying something. Basically, Andy comes back home with a girlfriend, and has sex with her in his bedroom. The toys being horrified by that would have been more than enough[[note]] (as a webcomic, GG Guys, previously used a [[ADateWithRosiePalms similar]] joke earlier and ended it on a [[http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs50/f/2009/320/9/b/GGguys_66_Toy_Story_3_by_supadave_3.jpg somewhat more classy note)]][[/note]], but no, Creator/SethGreen felt obligated to go further beyond that (much like the Joker's execution sketch could have ended in court as well), and had Andy turn Buzz into [[TheStoner a makeshift bong]]. Sounds fun? No, the sketch had to have Buzz brain-damaged-beyond-repair as a result. The sketch ends with Woody putting Buzz out of his misery. It'd be a TearJerker, if only the sketch didn't have the same "ha ha, we raped your childhood!" feel every sketch seems to be mandated to have. Not to mention that Andy's [[CharacterDerailment utter disregard towards his toys]] (yeah, gettin' laid is one thing, but doesn't justify kicking Slinky [[KickTheDog - heh -]] aside) due to him being a grown-up has been portrayed far more realistically in the movie, since, if the writers [[ShallowParody actually gave a damn about the movie]] without [[ExaggeratedTrope exaggerating the whole "grown-up" thing]], they could have noticed, you know, Andy being mad at his mom for mistakenly giving away his toys even while he's going to leave for college. This is offensive to the people who enjoyed ''Toy Story 3'', and to those who noticed the UnfortunateImplications about how a real-life brain damaged person supposedly has to be euthanized. Combine the two, and you almost feel the need to start a petition for the show's cancellation. Thankfully, thanks to the ending of the actual ''Toy Story 3'', this skit [[CanonDiscontinuity makes no fucking sense]] (and even then, Seth Green, [[{{Hypocrite}} the self-appointed "lover of action figures"]], should know a whole lot better), and this soften things a bit.

* Tropers/Animeking1108: The musical for ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'', which points out gay video game characters. For starters, putting VideoGame/PacMan on the list because "he eats balls" was really juvenile. Then there was putting [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Cloud Strife]] on there because of the cross-dressing mission. This comes off as a CriticalResearchFailure because: 1. Cloud only did it because he wanted to rescue Tifa (his love interest, BTW). 2. It wasn't even Cloud's idea. It was Aerith's. He was against it.

** Tropers/{{Toonguy}}: I second the one above me. Not only does this seem rather mean spirited, not only is it unfunny, [[CriticalResearchFailure it doesn't even make sense in the context of the show.]] I mean, perhaps it would have been funny if they had stopped it after the one time that the Rugrats actually talk, I'd actually find it funny. It's not even a case of pointing out certain problems with the original source material (e.g Star Wars Robot Chicken), it's just a domestic abuse joke and it's just.....there. Added to that, it doesn't work with the two characters. Maybe it would have been somewhat more understandable with some of the other parents, but Didi and Stu were always pretty much one of the happier couples. So yeah, not only does it seem really offensive just for the sake of it, but it doesn't even make sense.[[SarcasmMode Bravo writers. Just, just really bravo.]]

* Tropers/RedTheHedgehog: The Stopping VideoGame/{{Sonic|TheHedgehog}} skit from Season 3 is something that both [[{{Squick}} made me sick]] and made me roll my eyes. First of all, we have Sonic running in GreenHillZone [[CriticalResearchFailure Act 6(?)]], then he gets stopped by a bed of spikes that gruesomely killed him, with cheap sounding [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]] music to boot. Then two normal policemen go and make fun of Sonic saying he should have watched the speed limit, and then laughs while Sonic lays there dead. [[DarthWiki/RuinedForever Well Seth Green, thanks for taking my childhood and kicking it in the balls]]. I find some Robot Chicken skits to be pretty funny, but this one along with the Toy Story 4 skit will always be the reason why I will hate this show.

* Tropers/{{Mudapa}}: For me, it's "Anime Christmas". The amount of CriticalResearchFailure in this towards Dragon Ball is ridiculous. The plot follows Goku and Goten/Gohan enjoying Christmas. [[ExcusePlot Santa comes and tells them that the Nutcracker, Drummer Boy & Composite Santa are causing trouble. Goku and Goten/Gohan are told to stop them.]] So, they get spotted by those Villains and engage in a fight. When the Drummer Boy attempts to attack (by drumming), Goku yells "Spirit Bomb!" and Gohan/Goten yells some sort of Gibberish, even though it looks like a Kamehameha! But, it gets worse. So, Ms.Claus is revealed to be the villain, transforming into a monster, Which they end up defeating. Ms.Claus explodes into a Snowflake. Which, Goku responds "The Tenkai Ichi Budokai is finally complete." What?! Do you mean the "Tenkaichi Budokai"?! Which means the "Strongest Under The Heavens" and is the name of the Martial Arts Tournament? Did they even know anything about Dragon Ball? In fact, it has nothing to do with Anime either! Has a Dragon Ball fan, this is just insulting.

** Tropers/TheZMage: While the show has always been a bit dark, the entire episode ''Kramer Vs. Showgirls'' was nothing but unfunny mean-spirited joke after unfunny mean-spirited joke. In addition to the "where are they now" segment mentioned above, we have ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} dying from diabetes (too much lasagna), and [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]] being scalped and turned into a bong, followed by Woody smothering him to death. All of these sketches could have been funny with a GoryDiscretionShot (like the Chinese restaurant jokes in a previous "where are they now" sketch, which ended with Snarf being pulled through a door) or just flat out making the entire sketch shorter.

** @/SuperSaiyaMan: It's because the ''Robot Chicken'' writers grew up with 80's toons, and hold them up with reverence and respect (hence why they give good satire on them). However, by the 90's they had grown out of cartoons and despite the quality of the stories and animation, they thought they were kid stuff. They thought that we who grew up in the 90's would feel the same way; hence instead of making good satire of the 90's toons like they do with the 80's, they do spiteful crap.

* {{@/bobdrantz}}: There's a May/June 2011 episode with a particularly awful scene between Franchise/{{Batman}} and the Joker. It starts out decent enough with The Joker pointing out how Batman's code of honor to never kill his enemies works to his advantage and then Batman somehow convincing the courts to put The Joker on death row. They could've ended the skit right there and it would've been hilarious for its dark irony. Instead, they go for this absolutely [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence gruesome]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath death]] scene where we see The Joker's [[NauseaFuel flesh slowly melt off of his face and his eyeballs explode]] until his head explodes completely. And, the joke Batman and Commissioner Gordon share at the end makes no sense at all. How do you go from a relatively funny skit to something as over-the-top, unfunny, and disgusting as this? Hmm? How, ''Robot Chicken'', how?
* {{@/fluffything}}: The {{Oprah}} parody sketch is one of those moments that starts off hilarious and then turns into a huge DMOS right at the end. To elaborate, the sketch starts off with Oprah filling people's wishes from giving some guy a sandwich to giving away free cars to raising the dead so they can see their loved ones one last time. That in and itself could've been hilarious. But, nope. Instead the sketch ends with a little girl asking if Oprah could help make "her daddy stop hitting her mom" and Oprah just stares awkwardly. Hey, uh, writers at ''Robot Chicken''? Here's a little tip. Domestic abuse is not funny! Look, ''Robot Chicken'' has gone downhill over the past few seasons with so many terrible gross-out and downright mean-spirited jokes. But, to me, the lowest they've gone is thinking that a joke about a child witnessing domestic abuse is funny.

* @/{{kablammin45}}: [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Yoshi]] stumbling upon [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Raccoon City]] and being shredded and eaten by zombies caused this troper to not ever watch the show again.

** @/{{Thepenguinking2}}: I'll gladly third that. I get that they were trying to be creepy there, and while they did a good job, it was too good of one at that. Especially since I had the displeasure of seeing the event at age 9...
** eCockpit89: Creator/SethGreen must have some irrational hatred of the Mario franchise, because all of the sketches involving it suck. The one that made me swear off the show for good, however, was the most recent one, called "Mario Party". The only good thing in it was the fact that Mario and Luigi didn't get brutally murdered at the end. But the reason it sucks so badly? It's not the sketch itself, which was just as unfunny as any other Mario sketch on the show. It's because they use a lot of toys of the Mario characters that I know for a fact are fake. [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct Counterfeit toys]] on ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken''. What. The. Fuck. I'd expect this sort of thing from WebVideo/TheIrateGamer, not someone who claims to be a lover of action figures and has an actual TV show. Y'know what, Creator/SethGreen? You can go take all those fake products you bought for this, and shove them all where the sun don't shine!

* {{Disney23}}: A skit from ''Book of Corrine'' where a MadScientist creates a robot that comes to life and is happy that he's alive. He goes skipping through town causing destruction and death along the way and this is where the bad part comes in. He finds a adorable little poodle barking at him and he [[AndCallHimGeorge tries to hug it and squeeze it,]] [[NauseaFuel causing blood and black goo]] [[{{Squick}} to come out of it.]] And to think this was in the same episode with one of my favorite sketches ([[Series/SesameStreet Big Bird]] getting the bird flu).

* Animeking1108: The musical for ''[[VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV The Ballad of Gay Tony]]'', which points out gay video game characters.

** Ninetails2000: As a gay gamer, I found the Ballad Of Gay Tony musical to be [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] with only one of the participants past Tony (Zangief) even being under suspicion of being gay....Until I saw Parappa. At first I was impressed that they knew about the [[HoYay Romantic Karate]] thing in the second game, but then I noticed that was ALL they talked about, ignoring that 80% of Parappa's motives in any given appearance revolves around impressing [[LoveInterests Sunny Funny.]] While it's par for the course with this musical number, the fact that it was included meant that they were SERIOUSLY grasping at straws for gay video game characters to riff on which, which is absolutely absurd and speaks depths about the amount of effort they actually put into this thing. (Read: Not that much) Seriously! They skipped over [[ShesAManInJapan Birdo!?]]
* {{Dark Lady Celebrian}}: I've rescinded my original entry for one that actually made me physically ill while watching it. In one of the newer episodes, there's a short skit involving a little boy making words with alphabet soup. He says something like, "I want more alphabet soup, so I can spell all the Star Wars words in the world!" or something along those lines, and then his father grabs his hair and repeatedly waterboards him in the soup until he drowns! The mother then says something like, "You waited too long to do that" or some mess. What kind of sick person actually finds this funny?! There's {{Dead Baby Comedy}}, and there's just going way too far.
* Samuel: Originally, I was going to list the sketch that is a parody of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' featuring ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'' (one of my most despised sketches of all time). However, I decided to put a hold on that in favor of a mini sketch from season 3. It involves a father and a son, and the father tells him, "Son, this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you." Then he drills a hole in his head with a driller, screaming in agony while the son watches in horror. I'm sorry, Seth Green, but seriously, this is one of the most dumb, disturbing sketches I have ever seen in an otherwise hilarious show. Even a [[http://www.explosm.net/comics/2924/ similar gag]] from ''Webcomic/CyanideAndHappiness'' is more tasteful than this!
* @/ManCalledTrue: In the second season, one of the sketches is a vampire who tries to scare someone who's driving. He gets caught in the bumper and the next two minutes is him being slowly and horribly mutilated. And that's when I realized the show was no longer funny; the only joke in the entire sketch was that the vampire was being brutalized.
* Tehrannotaur: The "Humping Robot Flatscreen" sketch in season 5. First it appears funny, with the robot humping the flatscreen TV, which it falls and breaks. It would have been funnier if the robot just simply ran off after breaking the TV and the sketch ends right there, but no, Creator/SethGreen felt obligated to go further beyond that (similar to the Joker's execution sketch and the Toy Story sketch), and have the robot get an infant child named Alfonse to blame him for the flatscreen TV being broken by placing him next to it, and leave off afterward. Alfonse's father arrives after the robot left, sees the broken TV, and scolds Alfonse that his college funds will be used to buy a new flatscreen TV, with Alfonse crying as a result. The sketch ends with "Alfonse would never attend college". The remaining runtime between when the robot gets the child to blame on the broken TV and the end is where this sketch simply stopped being funny and went to being tasteless and patronizing. Then there's also UnfortunateImplications of how an upset parent in Real Life would [[AbusiveParents use his]] [[LackOfEmpathy own child's]] college funds just to buy a new flatscreen TV as a response to seeing a broken flatscreen TV [[KickTheDog though the child]] [[DisproportionateRetribution didn't even do that]] [[ForTheEvulz at all]]. Combine those two, and you'll see that this show is starting to patronize the audience. There are moments where this show is trying to [[CrossesTheLineTwice cross the line twice]], and there are moments like these where the show's insulting my fucking intelligence. Seriously, Creator/SethGreen, your sketches are starting to descend to the levels of [[Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg Seltzerberg]] in terms of funniness, creativity and talent of any kind, and becoming more & more tasteless, vulgar, offensive, vapid, pandering, spiteful, mean-spirited, poisonous, aggressively unfunny, unbearable, unwatchable, sickening, loathsome, detestable, soul-sucking, puerile, obnovious, crass, intelligence-insulting, patronizing, and catering to the [[LowestCommonDenominator very lowest forms of society]].
* {{Ecclytennysmithylove}}: “Goofy and Clarabelle”. The skit starts off decently hilarious with Mickey Mouse and his friends taking on sexual politics after they felt very uncomfortable with Goofy dating Clarabelle because a dog cannot have sex with a cow. Mickey, along with various Disney cartoon characters, was about to vote to ban mixed-species couples from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, when Walt Disney himself steps in and gives an awesome short speech that he created the characters to spread happiness, not bigotry. Now the skit would have been overall hilarious had it ended there, but no, Creator/SethGreen felt obligated to go further beyond that (similar to the Joker's Execution skit, the Toy Story 4 skit, and the Humping Robot Flatscreen skit): after Uncle Remus (from the classic Disney film ''Song of the South'') agrees with Disney and praises him for spreading happiness ("Sure did. Just look at me, Uncle Remus. You tells 'em, Massuh Disney!"), Disney gives Uncle Remus an awkward blank look, does a facepalm, tells all the Disney characters that he’s going back to his grave, and, right before he disappears, he makes a Nazi salute! Seth Green, you should really be ashamed of what you done! Don’t you even remember that infamous scene in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode “Road to the Multiverse” where poor Mort Goldman was attacked by the Disneyverse characters because of those stupid fucking rumors of Walt Disney’s alleged anti-Semitism!? [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Shame! On! You! Seth Green!]]
* ThyDarkLordOfAwesomeness: I cannot believe nobody has talked about the sketch in the early episode ''Toys in the Hood'', "Tooth and Consequences". It starts off with the Tooth Fairy doing her usual work in a house of a kid who's parents are arguing, eventually the father shooting (and probably killing) the mother. Then the endings appear. In these endings, the creators take every way to end it. The fairy killing the dad, The dad killing the fairy, saying they are going to Disneyland, ignoring the kid asking if mom will be there, and the final one actually makes fun of how dark this is by giving them a huge check saying how this is the darkest sketch in history. Last ending aside, the sketch isn't the darkest in all media history, but it is really dark, tackling the subject of relationship abuse and trying to make a joke out of it, but guess what? the ending wasn't even supposed to be there. The sketch probably would have ended with the Disney one. Many people probably think otherwise, while searching this sketch I got a site saying it was one of the best sketches ever, but it is not one for me. Also, I bet they were gonna show what happens between the father and the mother.
* WhiteRoseSamurai: Really? No mention goes to the "Cole Slaw" sketch from ''Malcolm X: Fully Loaded''? It's less than 30 seconds long, [[DarthWiki/RuinedForever but I'm never eating coleslaw again because of it.]] Allow me to elaborate. A kid is enjoying a bowl of coleslaw at a restaurant and asks his mother how it's made. Cut to the kitchen, and a cook puts a Cabbage Patch Kid in a blender and turns it on. It's unnecessarily violent and just painful to watch, with blood filling up the blender with a little spraying out, and the girl keeps screaming the whole time. The way I see it, there are two halves to ''Robot Chicken''. Sometimes they're legitimately funny and the kick to the childhood isn't so bad. Then there's stuff that really makes me question the mental health of the staff. This falls into that latter half. I'm already a picky eater, and I can't even eat one of my only favorite foods without thinking about this sketch and getting sick to my stomach. Fuck you, Seth Green. Just... Fuck you.
* Skullsnsouls91: Removing my former entry for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwsfd1xhV8c& this fucking sickening sketch]]. This isn't all "My childhood was raped!" shit. No. [[WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}} This was because it was taking a show involving little babies]], and having domestic violence involving one of the mothers (who was one of the nicest characters on the show most of the time) beat the one of the fathers (also one of the nicest) because of neglect that even she was fucking guilty of at times, while the babies stood outside of the room they were in. As a person who's had to deal with my father abusing my mother at a young age, usually late at night, and it'd keep me awake too while I cried and shook in fear hoping it'd be over soon; this is a sketch that disgusted and engraged me more than any other moment on this show. Fuck you, Seth, whoever helped write the sketch, and fuck you, ''Robot Chicken''. Peace the fuck out.
** Toonguy: I second the one above me. Not only does this seem rather mean spirited, not only is it unfunny, [[CriticalResearchFailure it doesn't even make sense in the context of the show.]] I mean, perhaps it would have been funny if they had stopped it after the one time that the Rugrats actually talk, I'd actually find it funny. It's not even a case of pointing out certain problems with the original source material (e.g Star Wars Robot Chicken), it's just a domestic abuse joke and it's just.....there. Added to that, it doesn't work with the two characters. Maybe it would have been somewhat more understandable with some of the other parents, but Didi and Stu were always pretty much one of the happier couples. So yeah, not only does it seem really offensive just for the sake of it, but it doesn't even make sense.[[SarcasmMode Bravo writers. Just, just really bravo.]]

* [=RabidBadger1632=]: I stopped watching Robot Chicken around the third season when I noticed that the majority of the sketches were immature dick jokes and rape jokes. However there was one episode that I was watching just so that I could get to Aqua Teen and Squids, (it was a freaking chore to do so mind you). The episode contained two sketches that were painful to watch. The first one was so incoherent that I can barely even remember what all happened in it (something about two women moving next door to the recurring fat nerd) so I'll use the second one as my DMOS. It was a very poorly written parody of the Powerpuff Girls being made with using the normal four ingredients but also with cocaine for some unexplained reason. The sketch contains no joke. All it is is just three scenes, the first being the girls bouncing around the room, the second them ripping off the head of a Mojo Jojo wannabe, and the last is them fighting a dragon, which generously gives us the obligatory AssShove joke, which the writers just can't seem to get enough of.
* Tropers/RedTheHedgehog: The Stopping [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic]] skit from Season 3 is something that both [[{{Squick}} made me sick]] and made me roll my eyes. First of all, we have Sonic running in GreenHillZone [[CriticalResearchFailure Act 6]]? ,then he gets stopped by a bed of spikes that gruesomely killed him, with cheap sounding [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Genesis]] music to boot. then two normal policemen, go and make fun of Sonic saying he should have watched the speed limit, and then laughs while Sonic lays there dead. [[DarthWiki/RuinedForever Well Seth Green, thanks for taking my childhood and kicking it in the balls]]. I find some Robot Chicken skits to be pretty funny, but this one along with the Toy Story 4 Skit will always be the reason why I will hate this show.
** larry4163: It probably doesn't help that the joke in this skit appears to have been stolen from a [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny Bugs Bunny short]] (Rabbit Transit) about Bugs racing against Cecil Turtle and being arrested after "going 100 easy" on a 30mph road at the finish line; ...and they don't even follow it up with their own in-universe justification for their DisproportionateRetribution of the character! ...not even anything simple like Robotnik/Eggman paying the policeman off becuase the hedgehog made fun of his inactive lifestyle, nor a BaitAndSwitch where Sonic was trespassing on somebody's lawn, etc.
* Mudapa: For me, it's "Anime Christmas". The amount of Critical Research Failure in this towards Dragon Ball is ridiculous. The plot follows Goku and Goten/Gohan enjoying Christmas. [[ExcusePlot Santa comes and tells them that the Nutcracker, Drummer Boy & Composite Santa are causing trouble.

Which, Goku responds "The Tenkai Ichi Budokai is finally complete." What?! [[CriticalResearchFailure Do you mean the "Tenkaichi Budokai"?! Which means the "Strongest Under The Heavens" and is the name of the Martial Arts Tournament?]] Did they even know anything about Dragon Ball? In fact, it has nothing to do with Anime either! Has a Dragon Ball fan, this is just insulting.
* cricri3007: The Star Wars sketch where Boba shows up drunk for the confrontation at Jabba's barge (Can't remember wich season, sorry). There is BlackComedy and then there's ''skinning Chewbaccka, wearing his still bloody back as a cape and taunting a blind Han about it''. And no, the fact that Boba was piss drunk or that it was AllADream does 'NOT'' make it better.

* [=InTheGallbladder=]: Just when I thought these guys couldn't lower the bar any further, enter "Hey, I Found Another Sock." In particular, the attempt at political satire. It's a ShallowParody of WebAnimation/HomestarRunner that deftly goes through all the clichés of every thirteen-year-old's first TV-14/TV-MA comedy. The closest it gets to actual parody is a throwaway reference or two to the couple of flash files from which the animation crew [[UsefulNotes/{{Plagiarism}} jacked their assets wholesale]]. It honestly reads like a Bush Administration-era sketch the crew couldn't complete in time; the only even slightly up-to-date reference is a non-sequitir mention of Trump's campaign slogan.
* {{Mockery}}: Okay, so there's hit and there's miss. Sometimes the series faceplants, but its machine-gun style of humor means that its quantity-over-quality approach is deliberate. Fine. Then there's the Skylanders Trap Team sketch out of Fridge Smell. We see a cat-woman named Tuff Luck and another Skylander, Bushwhack, get it on, although another toy tells him earlier that she's a Trap Master. After some forgettable dialogue by some other characters, Bushwhack emerges from the shrubbery they'd gone behind, screaming "It's a trap!" Tuff Luck, for her part, calls out after him, "DEAL WITH IT!" She emerges, and while the image is a digital mosaic, it's clear enough that they've gone with an UnsettlingGenderReveal as the other characters clarify that she's a "Trap"--i.e. has a penis--and Wolfgang begins to sing crudely about how Tuff Luck wants to sodomize people as she gleefully pursues a horrified Bushwhack. It was tasteless and unfunny to begin with, then went down the worst possible path, doubling down on it at the end with the song. There's plenty of bad sketches, I won't argue. But this one is currently the gravest possible offender for me.
* Two-Way Tad: The ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' sketch, where Calvin believes that Hobbes is real and proceeds to murder his own parents, ending with him in an asylum while endlessly repeating "Mars is amazing". That's pretty distasteful to [[UnfortunateImplications portray little kids who use their imaginations while playing with their stuffed animals as mentally disturbed and murderous people]], if you ask me.

* cartoonfanman: Similar to the Rugrats sketch mentioned above, my DMOS is for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5xu8fmIMyc&lc=UgxD2TQkeGHFNzxunWN4AaABAg&app=desktop this sketch]] about [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Rocko]] talking about moving from Australia to America....and then [[NauseaFuel gets run over by a car]] the moment he steps outside. Yes. That's the whole sketch. There was no joke, it's just another "Hey, let's kill off the main character of a '90s cartoon that everyone really likes" sketch I've seen many times before as well as another example of Robot Chicken not even remotely caring anymore.
* DeadpanFly2: Here's another sketch that [[ShallowParody ignores its source material]] for the sake of telling an actually very depressing story. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiIW5WON9xE This sketch]] involves WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} being bullied by an older kid, suffering a peanut allergy, having a poor immune system, and dying after only one day as a real boy. What Robot Chicken doesn't get about Disney's ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'' is that the Blue Fairy is magic. She would have easily given Pinocchio a developed immune system and no allergies whatsoever. In fact, if ''Pinocchio'' really was realistic, he would have stayed an inanimate puppet. Didn't ''Robot Chicken'' think about that? Oh, that's right, that would have been too boring for ''Robot Chicken''. In addition, Pinocchio got turned into a real boy [[EarnYourHappyEnding by being brave, truthful, and unselfish]], not because Geppetto demanded it. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also, Pinocchio sounds too much like a poor imitation of]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Marge Simpson]].

* Law_823: The ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' sketch, where Calvin believes that Hobbes is real and proceeds to murder his own parents, ending with him in an asylum while endlessly repeating "Mars is amazing".

* Tropers/KrazyTVWatcher: Removing my previous entry for this page, since I found a new DMOS. One sketch for this rancid stop-motion series did a sketch for the PS3 giveaway seen in the episode "Celebutard Mountain". To recap, Adult Swim hosted a giveaway for a UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 back in 2006 and made a follow-up skit in response to the winner, Duffy. The sketch itself involves Seth Green calling said winner onto the stage, and how does Seth congratulate him? [[DisproportionateRetribution By stabbing the poor man]] [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill repeatedly]]. When Duffy was near death, he got his [=PlayStation=] 3 chucked right at his head. Seth then tells him to enjoy his new system. What really annoyed me was both the parts where Duffy got killed and the end of the skit. Two things: First off, this is no way to treat a winner. Second, how can Duffy enjoy the [=PlayStation=] 3 if Seth mauled him to death? If you wish to see the clip for yourself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG8mg-O2W7k go here]].

** Tropers/KrazyTVWatcher: After looking at that sketch, I agree with you. If anything, the writers of this sketch tried way too hard to be funny, yet I can already feel that this sketch evoked a lot of negative reactions out of Christians in the world today. This is one of the Christianity-related sketches I hate on ''Robot Chicken''.

** Ninetails2000: As a gay gamer, I found the Ballad Of Gay Tony musical to be [[SoBadItsGood hilariously bad]] with only one of the participants past Tony (Zangief) even being under suspicion of being gay....Until I saw Parappa. At first I was impressed that they knew about the [[HoYay Romantic Karate]] thing in the second game, but then I noticed that was ALL they talked about, ignoring that 80% of Parappa's motives in any given appearance revolves around impressing [[RomanticInterest Sunny Funny.]] While it's par for the course with this musical number, the fact that it was included meant that they were SERIOUSLY grasping at straws for gay video game characters to riff on which, which is absolutely absurd and speaks depths about the amount of effort they actually put into this thing. (Read: Not that much) Seriously! They skipped over [[ShesAManInJapan Birdo!?]]

** SuperSaiyaMan: Its even worse considering that they go straight into the Gay Stereotypes in the 'musical'. Is it just me or are shows and writers trying to show 'gay support' don't even know how to portray them in the first place?

* Ninetails2000: I'm usually able to tolerate low-brow humor if it's good natured enough, but there is one skit that convinced me that ''Robot Chicken'' has gone the way of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' and gone over the hill. It begins with a husband and wife changing their child's diaper. While the woman is cooing and coddling the baby, the husband is aloof and agitated by the whole thing. The wife then leaves to get something and...[[CutenessProximity the father instantly begins cooing and coddling the baby the exact same way.]] End of sketch, right? No. The baby begins to pee on his face, barf all over him, projectile-poop [[GroinAttack right into his crotch]] and then begins spinning around on the table, pissing, pooping and barfing while making sprinkler noises while the text "Babies Are Jerks" pops up on the screen. [[FlatWhat ...What?]] Not only was it incredibly, stupidly, absurdly gross, it was pointless filler for what could have been a really nice cut and dry joke. They were obviously trying to [[CrossesTheLineTwice cross the line twice,]] but they only managed to cross it once and fall flat on their face....in a puddle of piss, crap and vomit.

Considering that ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'''s a show that bases its results on many random sketches that can last from a few seconds to a few minutes, you're more likely to find a sketch or two that you didn't like on an episode that you pretty much enjoyed otherwise. These are those sketches.

* Mushetti: The ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' sketch, where Calvin believes that Hobbes is real and proceeds to murder his own parents, ending with him in an asylum while endlessly repeating "Mars is amazing". That's pretty distasteful to [[UnfortunateImplications portray little kids who use their imaginations while playing with their stuffed animals as mentally disturbed and murderous people]], if you ask me.

* {{@/bobdrantz}}: There's a May/June 2011 episode with a particularly awful scene between Franchise/{{Batman}} and SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker. It starts out decent enough with The Joker pointing out how Batman's code of honor to never kill his enemies works to his advantage and then Batman somehow convincing the courts to put The Joker on death row. They could've ended the skit right there and it would've been hilarious for its dark irony. Instead, they go for this absolutely [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence gruesome]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath death]] scene where we see The Joker's [[NauseaFuel flesh slowly melt off of his face and his eyeballs explode]] until his head explodes completely. And, the joke Batman and Commissioner Gordon share at the end makes no sense at all. How do you go from a relatively funny skit to something as over-the-top, unfunny, and disgusting as this? Hmm? How, ''Robot Chicken'', how?

** larry4163: It probably doesn't help that the joke in this skit appears to have been stolen from a [[WesternAnimation/BugsBunny Bugs Bunny short]] (Rabbit Transit) about Bugs racing against Cecil Turtle and being arrested after "going 100 easy" on a 30mph road at the finish line; ...and they don't even follow it up with their own in-universe justification for their DisproportionateRetribution of the character! ...not even anything simple like Robotnik/Eggman paying the policeman off becuase the headgehog made fun of his inactive lifestyle, nor a BaitAndSwitch where Sonic was trespassing on somebody's lawn, etc.
