Robot Chicken: The Rescue (The ULTIMATE Showdown)

Our pal, The Robot Chicken of the acclaimed series, "Robot Chicken", has FINALLY escaped (I'll repeat again to make sure you know as it happens in the front of the episode and isn't seen here) the clucktches of the nefarious and evil/evil lab coat or maybe surgeon vest with f%cked up eyes ma...doct..profes...Video Nanny also known as Fritz Huhnmörder!

After watching infomercials all day and night, FOXNews, Nancy Grace, Oprah, Dr. Phil, All of the Judge "fill in name here" shows, every reality show produced by NBC, CBS, or FOX in Prime-time, EVERY Soap Opera, Morning Shows, So, SO, So many more shows from Disney to PBS, and then finally the one that broke him...that made him realize he had to escape before the end came...Season 4 of True Blood (really, what is going on there?!?).

So he escaped and got to his house, but it apparently all wasn't well...and that is were we come in...

As added by @dingens, this little fight scene may be the inspiration for this stop-motion animation feature's violence extravaganza, which you can find HERE (new window); thanks to @bizinichi for Sifting this scene for us.

BTW, This was the 100th Episode of Robot Chicken. It was a pretty fun episode with lot's of poking fun at itself for one thing. That is VERY evident in this animation sequence too. Lots of fun little "tie-ins" for this episodes super finale. They brought back many of the shows favorite characters, gave them their moment and even let them change a few things and then, well you'll see, it's great fun and perhaps one of their best sequences ever made. I think their Star Wars ones also rival the scope and shear amount of detail and loving time, put into these many pieces by Seth Green and Company over all these years.

Oh and skillful channel was included for this OH so deserved title over-time--I think this is the piece to put it with considering it's length and ambitious ideas realized and the fact they included the the production and executive cast in it as well to enjoy in the fun with everyone else and the fact it is on their 100th episode, a celebration within itself!

Great job Robot Chicken, for giving so many laughs over the years (and more to come we always wish as fans)!

I almost put this in the love channel, just for this one-time piece considering it's their 100th episode and the time and effort that goes into their productions. THIS is a proper example of the love and care they put into their job, if enough people feel the same we could add it in, BUT I added it to SKILLFUL as I thought that said what they did more than well enough and also...explained the time and love being put into these efforts.

Kudos to their production staff and crew, their executive staff and assistants, and OF COURSE...ALL of the voice actors over the years which have made this a unique experience to watch! Here's a virtual toast to them and if you can, take a shot in their honor and watch their 100th episode if you haven't AND ESPECIALLY WATCH the Star Wars specials if you have never seen them (SHAME ON YOU!!!).

Some of this is an extension of my information above, but not everyone reads it and I wanted the important bits in.

Amazing animation but can't let it go to Skillful as it's clearly not a match for the channel.


No problem. I was trying to fit it in as a special for the actual stop-motion animators and voice actors, not the show straight up (since it was the 100th episode and I wanted them to have some recognition somehow). If this was more a documentary showing the skill-set they use to get the job done--and that they do it in unique and very inspiring ways (which if you see the DVD extras they are great at it)--I would assume then that it would be more than fine for your worries. I should have left it unchecked as I did 'love' (same issue there too--they have "gelled" as a team and act more like family, plus they show a genuine love for the job they do--they love going to work and the people there...etcetera..).

Sorry about that @Deano. Next time I'll go with my instinctual reaction.

I put the scene up in this Sift's information section as well as it most definitely HAD to be a source of inspiration for this awesome stop-motion animation piece. Thanks again to @bizinichi for the original Sift, @dingens for bringing my attention to it--I had no idea that scene existed, and @BoneRemake for the nice embed so people can watch it right here.

I really did like this 100th episode, but this part of the episode has made me leave it on my DVR as a permanent resident , as it TRULY went to new extremes in this type of animation to get it done. I'll have to look around and see if I can find a good documentary style kind of show or other type of setup from adultswim or Robot Chicken's company (Stupid Monkey, I believe) that shows how this full scene from beginning to end was done. It really is a fun piece to watch and re-watch and I bet they had a blast doing it as well; same with the voice acting. Maybe they have some on the Season 5 DVD/Blu-Ray Extras that may be available online by now (as I think this is almost a year old--it's 2011 anyway...).

Until then \m/....
