Episode Order

I think these should be reordered in production number. Production order is how they are on the DVDs. Dukemeiser 01:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It makes no difference. Robot Chicken isn't a plot-based show. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 22:19, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

However, there are some running jokes, so, yeah, a tiny bit of difference, but Someguy0830 is right, it's not plot based.211.30.121.4 21:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvios

Many of the synopses for individual episodes were taken directly from adultswim.com; this a copyright violation, and the synopses should be changed ASAP. -- Kicking222 04:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would you mind listing some/all that you have found? Cburnett 14:26, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Third Season

"According To Adultswim.com, there will be a third season. An episode will feature the winner of the "You Could Be On Robot Chicken Contest." The season will probably start in the spring.soon their will be a personal site were viewers can make more episodes now that means more Popular Culture"

What? I'm not even sure how to decipher that, so I'll leave it to someone else to edit it. Just a heads up; I didn't even see that until now. - anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.133.224.251 (talk) 17:00, January 14, 2007 (UTC)

Cork

Why exactly does the name Cork wikilink to Monk? I mean, one of the characteristics of RC is that it tends to do bizarre mashups of pop culture things, and to me Cork is no exception: it is a combination of Monk and Life Goes On (Corky) from the late 80s/early 90s. Since Monk is still commonly on the air, I would think that IF there was a wikilink at all it should be to the older, more obscure series. Is it that someone didn't make the connection between Cork and Corky? If there is an issue shouldn't a Cork page be made to explain the character's apparent origins? I guess I need to test out what other links connect to, too. --CokeBear 17:19, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use image removal

I have removed all or a majority of the fair use images on this page as their use was not in line with our Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria policy (likely in that the use is not minimal (3.a.) and it is in a list or a gallery (8.)) or our Wikipedia:Non-free content guideline that states that television screenshots may only be used for critical commentary, not just identification. Please do not re-add them without discussion. Kotepho 09:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Episodes

All of the episodes and both specials now have articles! They're all formatted relatively identically also, and are hopefully referenced correctly. We're all ready for season 3 - so bring 'em on!! :) SkierRMH 06:04, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Out of order

I've got two of the DVDs and this isn't the way their listed in the DVDs. --BlooWilt on the wikiprowl, later! 23:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yancy the Yo-Yo Boy

In the list of Robot Chicken episodes for season 3 (2007-2008), someone deleted the article for Yancy the Yo-Yo Boy (episode #47) for no reason, sometime this February. When I click on it, I am sent directly back to the list of episodes page. Is there anyway somebody could try to put it back. I don't know how to do it. 05:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Joke Credits

Many episodes (I think they started in season 2) have joke credits that change each episdoe (along the lines of the Stoopid Monkey graphic). Usually for Sarah Gellar, Mila Kunis and Matt Peake. I was thinking of adding these. Do they belong more on this page, in the individual episode articles or both?

Example, from Endless:

One in a Million: Sarah Gellar
Three Times a Lady: Mila Kunis
Two Pump Jump: Matt Peake

Verifiability of episode air date

Madlobster, I am responding to you here since this discussion affects all editors of the page and not just you and me. I am assuming your edits were made in good faith, however, the truth of an assertion does not negate the fundamental requirement of verifiability (WP:VER), especially in the case of information that is not yet widely available from official sources. I added the citation request (instead of just deleting the information) to provide you (or anyone else) an opportunity to add a reference to a reliable source (such as the official adult swim schedule or Robot Chicken website) indicating that a new episode in fact did air that night. Unfortunately, the recording on your tivo could not be considered a source since visitors to this page cannot independently verify it. It's okay if you can't find such a source right away, just leave the tag there so other editors know to look for one if they have a chance. In general, you should leave the citation request tag, or the reference if one is located, until the information is so widely known and accepted that no reasonable editor would be likely to read this page and question the date's veracity.
–207.180.187.8 (talk) 00:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK, I'm just tired of people deleting the information without discussing it. (Although the recording on my Tivo can be a source since I've extracted it for more than one person to watch to verify...) Do you think a picture of my Tivo with the info screen showing a date up over the program should be posted to confirm the date? Here's a few sources to the episode having aired on that date:

http://boards.adultswim.com/adultswim/board/message?board.id=5&thread.id=1295664&jump=true

http://www.robotchicken.org/index.php?title=Tubba-Bubba%27s_Now_Hubba-Hubba

Madlobster (talk) 05:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Message boards and websites owned or operated by editors of the page in question are generally not the most desirable reference sources, but they may have to suffice for now, at least until adult swim gets around to confirming the information on their main page. The screenshot(s) from your tivo could be helpful supporting evidence, however, you would need to publish them somewhere else (perhaps somewhere on robotchicken.org with some additional information about the secret scheduling) and reference that externally since wikipedia is only supposed to consist of secondary information, and that type of screenshot could possibly be considered original research if it has never been published/available before (WP:NOR).

New episodes in May?

While prowling through my Tivo's list of upcoming episodes of Robot Chicken in a (potentially) vain attempt to avoid another April-Fools-type missed-episode fiasco, I noticed two episode names that I didn't recognize: Blankets In A Pig (Thursday, May 15, 12AM (technically early Friday)) and Adultizzle Swizzle (Friday, May 16, 11PM). The Adult Swim webpage's schedule (at the bottom) confirmed this listing. I'm wondering if these are indeed new episodes or if the folks at Adult Swim are trying to trick viewers by scheduling old episodes under unfamiliar names... after April 1st, I wouldn't put it past them.
–207.180.187.8 (talk) 23:10, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently these are some kind of compilation episodes. -TDK (talk) 01:35, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, so "Blankets in a Pig" is an alternate version of Veggies for Sloth with a season 1 deleted scene, Citizen Spears replacing the Archie/Final Destination sketch. I guess that "Adultizzle Swizzle" will be something similar. -TDK (talk) 11:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Adultizzle Swizzle" was a remake of Ep18 ("The Sack"). I added that into the gridbox for that episode. I wasn't aware of "Blankets In A Pig" until just now. Anyway, the changes are the following: one involving a pair of army dolls, one of whom is blown by kid with a firecracker (inserted between First Date and Frogger Car Wreck); Stix are Intended for Children was removed; Mrs. McNally's 3rd Graders Present: The Corpse Bride and A Day in the Life of Ponda Baba added.

Endless Breadsticks

Someone deleted Season 3 episode page "Endless Breadsticks." Is there anyway someone could put it back? 16:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Cleanup

I have removed the listing of Stoopid Monkey logos. Minutiae like this isn't needed. There are a couple other issues:

As noted in the "Copyvios" topic at the top of this page, most if not all of the episode descriptions are copied from the episode guide on the Adult Swim site. Some have been changed slightly in the nearly two years since those posts. Nonetheless they need rewriting. Even if they weren't copyvio, there are not appropriately written for an encyclopedia.
A random sampling of episode articles shows that most are just expansions of the copyvio descriptions, with excessive detail added for a ~10 minute sketch show. It might be different if the episodes followed some sort of storyline, which would allow for the writing of proper prose instead of bullet points, but due to the nature of the show, a simple listing of skits on this article would suffice. I noticed that at least a couple of them have already been redirected back to this article.--Drat (Talk) 16:37, 15 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Forth Season?

I'm merely curious but is there any word, news or information that suggests a 4th season is in the works? - RVDDP2501 (talk) 16:14, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, December 7th, Season 4. FYI that's also the day Pearl Harbor happend.Zabbethx (talk) 21:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why were the episodes for Season 4 moved around so that the joke no longer makes sense?98.223.230.49 (talk) 02:32, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

we need episode pages for the last episodes for season 3 but some jackhole is redircting it back to this page —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emigdioofmiami (talk • contribs) 20:34, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heads-up on merger/redirection of episode articles

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Piece of the Action (Robot Chicken episode), I'll redirect all RC episode articles on the coming days (merging where necessary). If anonymous editors restore the articles, I'll revert to the redirects on sight as I assume good faith. If anonymous editors keep restoring articles all the time, or if editors with accounts (who should know better) restore the articles, I'll open another AfD, where the articles will likely be deleted (or at least be redirected). If RC editors want to perform the merger/redirect themselves instead, I'll let them do this of course. – sgeureka ^t•c 09:29, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, the point of the initial AfD was to delete the article as it can never be improved, and see if other editors agree. I'll therefore open a new AfD in the coming days but want to ask here first if any other RC episode apart from the pilot episode did receive substancial third-party commentary in reliable sources so that I can leave it out of the AfD. – sgeureka ^t•c 10:05, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why were episode pages removed

I am very upset to see that most of the Robot Chicken episodes were deleted without any good reason. I want to know why they were removed! How can this can any more dumb? 05:28, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/S&M Present (Robot Chicken episode). The remaining articles are getting merged without AfD to avoid bureaucracy. – sgeureka ^t•c 08:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Robot Chicken Season 7 is cancelled?

Disregard

– False information.

Season 7 is not airing and all contracts implemented to write the season have been discarded because of recent negative ratings from the smaller masses. They have said that they don't like the new animation amd have started.petitions to bring back Shadowmachine.

Sadly, the show has ended for good. All that's left to air is the next DC Special. 76.181.106.84 (talk) 12:36, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dude, i get that your a fan of the show but chillax with writing that its cancelled. Its supposed to be back in April. Koala15 (talk) 15:23, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well atleast we had that Christmas special from 12/15, so that means just another three months of waiting. I'd originally predicted the season to start in January at the least, why the heck is it on hiatus it has aired no episodes since Feb. 17th? Is Seth working on a Robot Chicken Movie or something. 76.181.106.84 (talk) 03:02, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Season 7 airing

It airs this month, right? 76.181.106.84 (talk) 12:24, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replace with summary, or merge?

Clear consensus to merge all to here and that is also consistent with wider police and practice. Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:52, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

This is not a properly constructed article, but simply transcludes the entirety of the articles Robot Chicken (season 1) through Robot Chicken (season 7). Should this article be a shortened summary of the episode listings, without the large amount of production detail (writers, etc.); or should the separate season articles simply be merged into this one? — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 08:12, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that the latter is the better option, since this article is not over-long when all of the content is on one page, and there appears to be no purpose under the WP:SUMMARY guidelines for splitting this content out into multiple stubs that will never see independent development as articles. They literally cannot be independently developed as long as they are being transcluded here, anyway. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 08:12, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Merging the transcluded articles into here seems like a decent idea. This article is not too long. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:30, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing I can add that hasn't been said; merging seems appropriate. -- ATOMSORSYSTEMS ^(TALK) 16:55, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
