number 10 digimontron tron legacy
focuses on
sam flynn following his father kevin
into the digital game world of tron
and that's about as much as anyone
remembers other than the soundtrack
robot chicken lampoons the film by
mashing it with digimon digital monsters
an anime series that also features
characters entering a digital
dimension where am i you're in the
digital world
like a game grid but on pcp i'm gonna
digimon
did you evolve me into a little yellow
dinosaur
in the sketch kevin spends years stuck
in the creature-filled digital world
he passed the time by coupling with
digimon
pokemon was the most gentle but i say
that within the context of it being
terrible
but before kevin can return home his son
sam reveals
the electric company is about to kill
the power of the arcade that keeps the
digital world alive
as the digimon break down kevin
hilariously embraces death
son it is still a sweet release at last
i'll know peace
while the sketch leans more into the
tron side of the parody
it's still an entertaining combo number
nine
sailor earth as any fan will tell you
the sailor scouts are named after the
celestial bodies in the solar system
except earth that is until now
while eating at a mall food courts the
magical girls are attacked by a food
vendor it becomes a giant churro
all of a sudden a nearby man who claims
to be sailor if comes to their aid
after transforming sailor eth shows that
his powers
are based on human qualities like
obesity
alcoholism and racism earth power
racism nice pancho essay how many pesos
did it cost or did you just steal it off
the dead girl you
you cannot say those things oh racism
doesn't exist anymore
but it's his ability to summon
unintended consequences
that ultimately defeats the churro man
law of unintended consequences or
whatever
wow but the food court will be
uninhabitable
the sketch is a hilarious and disturbing
take on an
untapped part of sailor moon we just
wish he
and humanity weren't so terrible number
8. henry kissinger pokemon
pokemon battles usually involve various
monsters fighting one another at the
behest
of their human trainers we just didn't
expect to see the perpetually youthful
ash ketchum encounter an unexpected
opponent
during this sketch while he chooses his
customary pikachu
his foe sends out former us secretary of
state
henry kissinger henry kissinger i choose
you
we should take advantage of the sign of
soviet split and open relations with
china that's
uh instead of repeating his name aloud
and using special attacks
kissinger yells out controversial events
that occurred during his administration
ash and pikachu are quickly overwhelmed
by these historical facts
and a barrage of aircraft bombs should
bomb cambodia and laos without telling
congress
ash should have used an attorney general
type pokemon that's super effective
against controversial secretaries of
state
did i just learn something number seven
speed racer joins nascar given that
speed racer is a classic show about
racing
combining the anime with nascar is a
natural comedic matchup
this sketch features the title character
joining the racing sports
and really shaking things up although
his tactics are both questionable and
destructive he proves to be a ratings
hit
the sketch lampoons everything from
nascar fans apparent enjoyment of
crashes
to japan's bizarre taste in erotica
[Music]
but the sketch really excels at
parodying every aspect of speed racer
racer x's easily descend identity check
don't worry speed help is on the way
from a mysterious ally hey everybody
give speed racer secret brother some
room help your secret brother racer x
boy i wish i had a secret brother like
racer x
speed and company's distinctive speech
pattern check
it is my goal to drive my car the
fastest using all the rpms at my
disposal and cross the finish line
before the other cars which will result
in me winning many races
spill and chim chim stowing away in the
mac5
oh yeah that's dark
number six piccolo gets busted during
the first dark of dragon ball z
then alien anti-hero piccolo kidnaps
goku's son gohan
in order to train him all in the hope of
getting him stronger
before the saiyans arrive
this sketch sees police and child
protective services arrive
just as the combat training starts to
get physical
they arrest piccolo for child abuse
brainwashing
and feeding gohan senzu beans while the
beans restore a fighter's energy in the
series
the authorities mistake them for a new
kind of drug
as bad as mr piccolo's actions are
within the context of the show
reframing them in this sketch makes his
kidnapping seem
so much worse at least it's funnier for
us though
wants a mcdonald's no need mr piccolo
gives me all the senzu beads i can eat
well oh kid they don't need to know
about the
senzu beans
[Music]
number five pokemon daycare the pokemon
daycare is one of the other features of
the pokemon games and anime
basically you leave your pokemon with an
elderly caretaker
and when you come back there's an egg
with no explanation
of how it got there this sketch placed
the process up to the natural conclusion
[Music]
in the parody not only do some of the
pokemon who stay there engage in
roleplay
but the old people running the facility
apparently record the pokemon's late
night activities
these two were into roleplay i have a
shed full of props and costumes
it's not so surprising that aspiring
pokemon breeder brock is
into the idea a little bit more than his
friends pikachu
number four sailor moon's thorny
villains
over a series of three sketches in the
joint point episode
we see sailor moon villains getting a
little too well let's say
excited about her the first sketch sees
her confronted by a villain on the
street
after her elaborate transformation
sequence causes him to have a visible
reaction they both become too
embarrassed to fight
in the name of the moon i will punish oh
my
god when the villain is yelled at by his
boss queen beryl in the second sketch
her anger gets him excited again oh i'm
sorry your majesty i
i just i kind of like it when you yell
at me
it's hot
and when the queen is alone in the third
sketch her body shows how interested she
is at the prospect
of defeating sailor moon her unexpected
and very visible physical reaction
prompts her to remark the anime is weird
you'll get no arguments from us beryl
anime
sure is weird number three
voltron gets sieved the sketch begins
with members of team voltron assembling
their giant mech
to protect a space station from enemy
ships
but they're surprised to see a monster
arrive on the scene
instead of fighting them the huge
creature challenges them to an impromptu
dance-off
[Music]
they tried to save each other while a
parody version of dmx is
gay on the floor plays in the background
although the song was later changed the
dance-off is still hilarious
while voltron has better moves than
you'd think for a metal robot
their opponent's styles all over them we
don't know where the idea of this sketch
came from
but we're glad it exists
come on man just work it out number two
anime christmas
on christmas eve santa falls down a
chimney and into the house
where goku and his young son gohan live
is that santa on the roof
well if not i got a present for him
santa santa oh my mother
me after teaching the kids some colorful
new words
santa enlists their aid to fight against
some villains
who stole his presence slash pants the
ensuing anime battle
is action-packed and hilarious
it all culminates in a fight against the
true enemy
mrs claus although robot chicken tends
to be short and sweet with its sketches
this holiday themed story takes its time
it pays off by being a great parody of
both christmas and anime tropes
before we get to our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
what pikachu and squirtle actually think
every actor wants a little variety in
their dialogue
pika pika squirtle squirtle squik
what the am i saying no i mean it
makes no sense at all
spring of the drowned nerd a nerd meets
ranma one half
just like the classic anime ron ma nebo
noisy
whoever bathes in the spring of drown
girl will become an awesomely sexy lady
so the question is do i want to be an
awesomely sexy lady
astro boy presentation when it's put
like this
the concept does seem pretty creepy you
know what would have made a greater
super weapon a full-grown man robot with
a shirt you sick son of a
shall i show him my cannon sir ah no no
no no no
the greatest pokemon generation the
sketch that made pokemon fans feel
old you know when we were kids there
were only 150 pokemon actually there
were 151 pokemon from the start
tiny gets in shape you would think that
geforce had a fitness regimen
okay here we go

inuyasha
one of the true greats a middle-aged man
is annoyed that his daughter is watching
inuyasha when he wants to watch a hockey
game
come on honey the red wings game is on
no dad i'm watching inuyasha
kagomi you look similar to kiku inuyasha
i am just a schoolgirl curse guide is
magic without the jewel of the four
souls i'll never become a full demon
despite his initial disinterest
he appears to get more and more into it
over the course of the episode
he eventually goes into full fanboy mode
the dad buys the dvds
skips work to watch episodes begins
dressing as inuyasha
and even role plays as the character
with his wife in bed
do you like the meatloaf dear i'm
pretending it's demon food since i'm
half demon
the way this builds and builds until
it's hilariously revealed
that expressing interest in his
daughter's shows was all according to
his master plan
is pure genius
