Maybe it's just me being a bit overly sensitive about one of my favorite shows. I wouldn't have a problem with the sketch if it weren't so obvious that they didn't actually watch it ever. If they had, I doubt they'd be comparing it to High School Musical.

Of course that comparison has always bugged me. The only similarities between them is the singing and that they take place in a high school.

We're going to spread this shit like Nutella.

^it's true that a LOT of the whole show is an obvious Shallow Parody and if you are against that sort of thing you won't like it.

So, did anyone enjoy the new stuff? I find the WALL-E-minator very funny and the Extreme Renovation also funny, especially at the end where it crack me up.

I really enjoyed that episode more than the others.

Loved the episode, Wall-E-Nator got me and my family in tears of laughter. also the Extreme Makeover also got a few laughs, overall, the episode was HILARIOUS.

My name remains a mystery to us all.

Honestly, I'm not a fan. CSiCarly was really funny, but it's all been downhill since then. And that's terrible, because I was a big fan of the magazine, whose humor is in the same vein as the show's but not nearly as... well, only slightly less lowbrow. The cut-and-paste movie parodies kind of annoy me, as does the fact that the repugnant Mad TV had better Spy vs. Spy cartoons than this does.

New episode now. And I like the "Rejected Pokemon" skit.

...the jokes have been falling flat. What should be a primetime version of Robot Chicken is turning into Seltzerand Freidberg.

It was okay at first, but now it's there's just too many misses and not enough hits for me to continue watching this. I'm taking this one off my DVR.

It kinda reminds me of Mad Kids Magazine (the kid-oriented version of the magazine which only ran for a couple years). I guess that's their target audience, but I tried watching and about three-quarters of the jokes went over my head because they're aimed at a younger crowd that actually watches most of what they're parodying.

Hm. The Video game cheat codes sketch's art style reminded me of El Tigre.

Did everyone see the epic Dude, Not Funny! moment at the beginning of the newest episode? The Up Parody? Seriously, that was downright RACIST.

I couldn't get past the first three minutes. It's absolutely terrible.

[up]Thought that felt familiar.

Yeah, MAD's ran out of ideas faster than Robot Chicken.

I'm probably going to regret asking, but what happened?

Remember the South Park Episode it came from Jersey? Think that, but 10 times worse with the 'cast' of Jersey Shore acting more and more stereotypical than anything we even saw on South Park! Not only that, they had the nerve to put a pregnant woman in the episode and the old man from Up knocked her out the 'hot tub' the idiotic stereotypes installed.

I'm not sure she was supposed to be pregnant. It was Snooki, and she has a bit of a beer gut IRL. (Though that was WAY bigger in the sketch.)

I don't see what's racist about, it's making fun of Jeresy Shore. South park did the same thing, but no one was bothered by that. I thoguht that part was good.

Can someone explain the Up segment? I'm curious.

[up][up]Robbie Rotten, even though South Park did the same thing, the MAD version was worse and it WAS racist.

This? (The clip is about 39 seconds in.)

Forgive me, but what is racist about it? It seemed like they were making fun of the cast more than anything else.
