SKULLBUGGY'S MEAN AND TOTALLY HATEFUL VIDEO GAME REVIEWS (AMONG OTHER THINGS)

Today I'll be reviewing a show most people praise because of its humor. That style being "RANDOM CHICKEN MONKEY WAFFLES HURR".

My first question--what qualifies as being truly "random"? According to Wikipedia--your number one source for the Japanese name of every Bleach character--randomness is defined as "a lack of order, purpose, cause, or predictability". Of course, MATH IS FOR LOZERS OLOL so we're going with UrbanDictionary.com--the one-stop shop for every bit of innuendo ever come up with by frat boys ever. According to noted linguist "Pip", random is "the latest buzzword used amongst mindless teenagers as a way of showing just so utterly irreverent their predictable sense of humour is".

CHEESE WAFFLES WOHOHOHOHOHO

So that's apparently what random means. If you're anything like me--which means you're a fat angsty sophomore--you instantly hate anybody who uses that term to describe how wacky their shenanigans are. AND THEY ARE OH SO WACKY NINJAS PIRATES WOHOHOHO. To me, random means you're stabbing somebody one minute and jumping out of the window speaking in tongues the next. But that's me being fat and angsty and fat.

What I'm really trying to say is that Robot Chicken, as a whole, likes to think of itself as "random". It is praised as such by the community that watches it--the community being thirteen-year-olds who think that their sense of humor is purestrain gold. Here's the news, folks--it's not that funny, put your cheese wheels and monkeys away. It's time to bathe in the scathe.

I watched the episode "Boo Cocky" today. "Boo Cocky" is one of the newer episodes, and to be honest I was disappointed. Not once did I laugh. Not even at the head ripping, nor the torture scene starring Dustin Diamond, nor the scene with maniac prisoners breaking things. I found that this show mainly relies on violence and sex as its main outlet of comedy. I can see why thirteen-year-olds would watch this now.

I was thirteen at one point, though. At one point I genuinely enjoyed this show. I thought it was pure comedy. Looking back on it, I have no goddamn idea what I was on when I was watching it. But I do want to know where I got it, because if taking that made Robot Chicken look good then Seinfeld would look amazing. But let's stop talking about this.

All in all, Robot Chicken sputters by with its muffler dragging on the highway with a solid "meh". Maybe if I was younger and stupider I could admire that midget Seth Green for doing what he does. But I have that other part of my brain intact--you know, the one that lets you think about what you watch.

If you'll excuse me I'll go watch some Flapjack. Adventure, bitches.
