"YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN I, HEADLESS PONCH:" I'm really not sure what to think about the newest Cartoon Network adult programming, Robot Chicken, other than that I, for no good reason, found it hysterically funny. Imagine an ADD version of "SNL" with five sketches in ten minutes, all of which are done in bad stop-motion animation, and you've got some idea of what's going on. In this week's episode, "Gold Dust Gasoline," we get a recurring joke involving people dying, an explanation for why some animals got left behind on Noah's Ark, a public service announcement starring the cast of "That 70s Show" (all voicing themselves) to remind us "Don't be a Douchebag," a third-grade production of a show involving a cowboy, a robot, and a beautiful girl, and a race that pits various pop culture icons (ranging from Vin Diesel to Speed Racer) against each other. It's the brainchild of Seth Green, who obviously needs some help, but it's hard to find a show with more bang for your buck.
