Star Wars Robot Chicken

[Halb]

On Tuesday, 10:30, on Sci-Fi.

I have not seen it, but from the adverts it looks very funny.

Very funny but they ripped the idea off The Adam & Joe Show.

Not as funny as the Family Guy Star Wars, pretty much sums up whole of Robot Chicken to me

See how much more comfortable we are shooting stuff?

Now I hated the Family Guy Star Wars episodes, bored me to tears. They even make a joke about RC doing it better at the end of the first one. However I really like Family Guy as a general show. The three RC Star Wars episodes however I thought were comedy gold, but I can't watch a conventional episode of it.

Whereas I think FG is a bit bleh. But I really enjoyed Blue Harvest, thought it was sublime.
It's the only one I have seen.

thought they both had very very funny bits and a fair few not very funny bits....R2D2/Cleveland shooting the tie-fighter and the RC AT-ATs racing both made me choke with laughter

In general find FG funnier than RC - but think they were equal across the Star Wars stuff! except that blue harvest was easily the best of the FG ones, and the first RC episode is easily the least funny.

IMHO Herbert as Obi-Wan is hard to beat.

I loved how even though the jokes were great, it was still faithful. The fat kid as Luke looking over the desert with the music playing was awesome.

I thought RC was way better than FG.

Just one hilarious gag after the other like a sketch show should be.

I was actually at the UK premier of this in Southampton Uni and thought it was excellent, better than the Family Guy effort.

[Smiler.]

Different flavour humour, there's room for both.

I think they are both excellent

Classic

Love RC Star Wars - favourite bit has to be the phone call from Darth to the Emperor to tell him the Death star has been destroyed. Comedy Gold.

Enjoyed Blue Harvest but thought the follow ups went down hill dramatically. SSSDS had a few funny moments but "It's a Trap!" barely raised a smile.

They didn't actually want to do all three, they were only going to do Blue Harvest originally but they were pushed into it because there was money to be made, as is usually the case.

Doesn't surprise me, they certainly felt like very little effort was involved.

TBH from the same team that have managed to sell 3 different series with the exact same setup (FG, Cleveland Show, American Dad) I doubt they were pushed very hard...

Eh? How can you think Family Guy is a "bit bleh" if you've only seen one episode and you really enjoyed it?

I think he means he's only seen one of the star wars based episodes. Probably for the best tbh.

Can't agree about fg in general being "bleh" though.
