The producers of the popular stop-motion animation series "Robot Chicken" announced this week that they will cease production of the show at the end of its current cycle. The reason given was that the show, which parodies characters and situations from the worlds of movies, music, television, video games, and advertising, had completely exhausted all sources of material.
"We didn't want to start repeating ourselves", said co-creator and executive producer Seth Green. "It's hard, because so many shows now are pushing the envelope in terms of soiling people's innocent appreciation for things. I remember pitching a sketch about the Snorks all giving each other VD, where their snorkel parts would double as their reproductive organs. But then I remembered that we'd done a similar bit on "Family Guy', so that was out. I really wish I hadn't wasted so much good material on that room..."
Laurel and Hardy-style antics, then decapitations
The series, which debuted in 2005 and enjoyed an immediate cult success, has long been praised for its relentless skewering of pop culture conventions.
"We try to keep the concepts simple, and the situations recognizable." Explained heads writer Doug Goldstein. "We usually start with a simple premise like "What if the characters from BLANK died a horrible violent death?' As the show went on, though, it got harder and harder to find new ways to fill in that blank.
"Now that I think of it, that was pretty much the only premise we used." Goldstein added.
The series finale, scheduled to air during November sweeps, will feature a three-minute sketch called "It's Your Movers', in which the characters from the mid-80s Jason Bateman sitcom "It's Your Move' decide to start a moving company (with bloody consequences), and a sketch in which Kukla, Fran and Ollie blast away at each other with shotguns.
I used to have some He-man guys that I used to make movies with where they would just stand around and get ready to attack each other. I would stand them all up on 2 different sides of my room and then record it.
The thing was, it was so horrible getting those little assholes to just stand up that by the time I finished, I didn't want to make a movie anymore, so I just have a lot of footage of my He-man guys all standing up.
Then the video would usually cut to me lighting hairspray on fire, or shooting a potato gun at my high school or something.
A shot at the Daily Show's writers now one at the Robot Chicken writers. I guarantee you neither staff has room for a guy that can't write one funny article a month.
this steaming pile of shit! Thank you for at least making it short. Is this the New York fukin Times? Maybe add a crossword puzzle next time Dave, it would of helped this time.

I have to admit I never enjoyed Robot Chicken, I have only seen about 2 episodes. It may be my hillbilly education, or my lack of Cable, but I could enjoy a good old fashion of Ouch My Balls on America's Home Videos, that you can catch on 1 of the 12 channels I do get, and on those other 11? Home Shopping!!!
Mr Vert, The Email will be down this morning. I've got a monkey in the closet rerouting the T1, so You may have to do your Online Meetings over the old Phone line.
PS. Someone has a boobie screen saveer that was going around the building. I got rid of it, and saved you a copy.

Because this board is as hot as Courtney Love's taint...
If the members of TPP washed aboard a deserted island, and a new society was to be formed, who would take up what role/hierarchy? Lord of the Flies-type-situations can apply....
