Robot Chicken
This is seriously demented and seriously cool. If you havn't had a chance to check out Robot Chicken then you need to. Pretty much all of their videos have been uploaded onto YouTube so you can watch them there for free. Old-school stop-motion animation and fast-paced satire are the hall marks of this eclectic show created by Seth Green and Matt Senreich. Action figures find new life as players in frenetic sketch-comedy vignettes that skewer TV, movies, music, and celebrities. This is television made for the Attention Deficit Disorder generation. Check out the opening sequence below.
Robot Chicken is a sketch comedy that parodies a number of pop culture conventions using stop motion animation of toys, action figures claymation and various other objects. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves great ideas and doesn't mind crude humor. It will instantly click with kids of the 70's and 80's (Speed Racer, Knight Rider, CHiPs, Batman, Fast and the Furious , Mario Kart, Dukes of Hazzard, MASK (ya know...working overtime, fighting crime..fighting crime!) and Wheeled Warriors duking it out Cannonball Run style...all complete with a cameo from Burt Reynolds and Dom DeLuise!), making the humor and originality of this series apparent from the get-go. I must warn you though these guys do not hold back.
