Robot Chicken DVD Giveaway
JEM is a crack-addict, Strawberry Shortcake seeks retribution and let’s pay a visit to The Little Slaughterhouse on the Prairie — what could it be but Robot Chicken?
Seth Green and Matt Senreich are the evil geniuses behind this quirky stop-motion series that pokes fun at everything pop culture. Forget I said, “fun,” this show is seriously deranged.
The folks at Robot Chicken use action figures from the past and present to act out the skits that are way over-the-top. Think Amy Winehouse meets Courtney Love kind of over-the-top and nothing is sacred.
In the Season 3 DVD (which streets tomorrow) you’ll see Governor Schwarzenegger investigating the illegal immigration issue with Speedy Gonzales and Dora the Explorer, a ‘where are they now’ on dolls of the past and the gang from Star Wars sit down for an awkward dinner party hosted by Lord Vader himself. It shouldn’t be all that funny, but it is.
On the downside, Robot Chicken gets a lot of laughs from violence and language so don’t plan on watching this one with the kiddies. It may air on Cartoon Network but this uncensored DVD is rated R.
And speaking of the DVD, the best thing about Robot Chicken Season 3 isn’t the episodes themselves, but the special features. Seth Green turns a boring office tour into a totally funny bit and the collection of video blogs are both amusing and informative. Talk about the coolest job in the world — follow the Robot Chicken toy buyers as they go out looking for more vintage action figures to destroy. (List in the left back pocket, receipts in the right — or is that the other way around?)
The DVD also contains alternate audio, commentaries, deleted scenes and a gag reel which is mostly just gory, and yes, I know they’re only toys but it was too much for me to watch. All-in-all, nearly 3 hours of bonus features and 20 eleven minute episodes on two discs in a neat, pseudo-Japanimation-style package.
Want to own a copy? You could go out to the store and buy it tomorrow. Or you could win one of four DVDs that we’re giving away thanks to Cartoon Network and Adult Swim.
Details, details, details. . . .

My favorite action figure that I now own is a figure of Lita, a former WWF female wrestler (who had suffered some sort of neck injury and is no longer fighting, as far as I know). I like it so much that I was almost tempted to use it instead of a bride figure on top of my wedding cake (my husband would’ve substituted himself with his John McLain from Die Hard figure). Alas, we would’ve had to clean the figures near-religiously if they would’ve been on the cake to avoid plastic/acrylic germs.

Little Miss No Name, Oh my goodness I loved her with her little tear in her eye. Her raggy hair and dress from a burlap sack.

I have an awesome collection of quite a few of the first ever ‘kids-meal toys’, most of them ’still-in-the-bag’ — and they’re mine, all mine (insert maniacal laughter here)… Problem is, I can’t let them watch Robot Chicken, since then NOBODY gets any sleep for awhile…
But I could figure out a way around this, if I win!

I spent hours and HOURS playing with my “The Sunshine Family” http://thisrainbowfamily.com/Blog/SunshineFamily.jpg
I still have all 3 of them plus the grandpa and grandma. A few years ago I was at a yard sale and I found the original 3 (Mom, Dad, baby) still in their original box, needless to say I snapped them up fast and only for $5.00! I was thrilled but I have to say that they really don’t mean as much to me as MINE, the ones I spent so much of my childhood playing with.
Thank you for the chance to win and for the chance to go back down memory lane :)

A Korean kid I went to school with had a giant Voltron kit that made me jealous (and perplexed, since I had no idea what that was, besides amazingly awesome), but, though my grandma gave me tons of superhero action figures, my favorite was either the lego guys, or some small plastic robots that came in a cereal box, followed by some Military Muscle Men I picked up in the UK.
