What Season 1 of Robot Chicken

A run-over chicken is brought back to life as a robot by a mad scientist, who forces it to watch violent shows as a form of torture. That is where the name Robot Chicken comes from, a stop-motion animated series created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich for Adult Swim. There is no continuous storyline: each episode strings together unrelated short sketches, with toy figures portraying pop culture icons. The satire targets TV shows, movies, video games and celebrities. Green directs the project and voices many of the characters, while guest stars change with every episode.
