Sometimes, it's delicious being a geek. You get stuff, other people just don't. And you can laugh at stuff other people just can't.

Example: Robot Chicken.

It's rude, crude, violent, politically incorrect, offending on all levels (some may even call it sick, depending on your sense of humor) - and with its dolls and robots quintessentially nerdy. Kinda like South Park. Only better.

So what is Robot Chicken? Wikipedia defines the series like this: Robot Chicken is an American stop motion animated television series distributed by Sony Pictures Digital and produced by ShadowMachine Films, currently airing in the US as a part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim line-up [it's rated MA]. It premiered on Sunday, February 20, 2005. Seth Green [of "Austin Powers" and "Without a Paddle" fame] and Matthew Senreich are the creators and executive producers of the show. Robot Chicken is a sketch show that parodies a number of pop culture conventions using stop motion animation of toys, action figures, dolls, and claymation (usually for special effects) and various other objects, such as tongue depressors.

A friend recently gave me Season 1 & 2 on disc, and I laughed so hard watching them, I almost spilled an entire can of Diet Coke on my keyboard.

Wanna check it out, but don't have cable or the Cartoon Network? Fear not. That's what YouTube is for. Here are some of the most hilarious clips:

The Star Wars Special of Robot Chicken was amazing. I haven't watched more, but I think I will have to search it out.

The star wars robot chicken was indeed funny as hell. I might have to borrow those DVDs of yours, Simone.
