Robot Chicken (2005)

Actor Seth Green ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer") and Matthew Senreich created this off-the-wall comedy hit, a series of pop culture parodies using stop-motion animation of toys, action figures and dolls. The title character had been an ordinary chicken until he was run down by a car and subsequently brought back to life in cyborg form by mad scientist Fritz Huhnmorder, who tortures Robot Chicken by forcing him to watch a random selection of TV shows, the sketches that make up the body of each episode.
