00:00 I kept wondering how I got here.
00:02 When did I start caring about the dinner to dessert tabletop?"
00:04 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 most savage
00:10 robot chicken parodies.
00:12 "It's out of my hands."
00:14 For this list we'll be looking at the most brutal, satirical sketches on the show.
00:19 Is there an absurd moment we missed?
00:21 Let us know in the comments.
00:23 10.
00:25 The Emperor's Phone Call
00:27 Nearly every iteration of Darth Vader is a merciless and ruthless Sith Lord.
00:32 But here he's kind of just a chump.
00:35 When Palpatine asks to take a business call from Vader, he's informed of the destruction
00:39 of the Death Star.
00:40 "Who's they?
00:41 What the hell is an aluminum falcon?"
00:45 Since it was caused under Vader's supervision, he gets roasted by his boss Palpatine.
00:50 "Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry, I thought my dark lord of the Sith could protect a small thermal
00:55 exhaust port that's only two meters wide."
00:57 The powerful Sith even cries.
01:00 It's a hilarious and kind of deserved burial of Darth Vader.
01:04 Even Vader's late wife Padme isn't safe either, as the Emperor also hilariously butchers
01:10 her name.
01:11 "Or I'm gonna tell everyone what a whiny bitch you were about Padawami or Panda Bear or whatever
01:15 the hell her name is.
01:16 Oh jeez, he's crying."
01:20 We almost feel bad that the dark Sith Lord has to endure this takedown.
01:24 Although we don't like to side with the Emperor, we'd be pretty upset too if our
01:28 giant battle station got destroyed.
01:31 9.
01:32 Taken to Neverland We never knew we needed a dark and gritty
01:36 Peter Pan movie until we saw this sketch.
01:39 "Hello?"
01:40 "I don't know who you are.
01:41 I don't know what you want.
01:42 I don't know why you dress like…"
01:44 In this mix of Peter Pan and Taken, Brian Mills rescues the kids Peter brought to Neverland.
01:50 We know that he said he'd find and kill anyone who gets in his way.
01:54 However, we didn't expect him to do so while wearing a ridiculous seashell bikini.
01:59 "Wendy, where are your brothers?"
02:00 "There, on the pirate ship!"
02:02 This absurd premise serves as a great knock at how unhinged Brian gets at some points
02:09 in the franchise.
02:11 While moviegoers don't think about him taking out nameless henchmen, it feels different
02:15 when he attacks recognizable characters.
02:18 He slays everyone from Captain Hook to Tinkerbell.
02:21 Yes, Brian can add killing beloved Disney characters to his particular set of skills.
02:26 "Why would I want to leave when my happy thoughts are about to come true?"
02:30 "You're what?
02:31 Oh no no!"
02:32 Number 8.
02:33 The Powerpuff Girls vs. The Man In this sketch, the Powerpuff Girls face their
02:38 deadliest enemy yet.
02:39 "Aha!
02:40 Mojo Jojo is in jail now!
02:41 But we'll break out to fight the Powerpuff Girls again for you to put in jail again!"
02:44 "No, wait.
02:45 Is that Mojo Jojo's life?"
02:46 Mr. Mime?
02:47 Fuzzy Lumpkins?
02:48 Nope, they're taking on a flawed justice system.
02:52 When the girls place Mojo Jojo in jail, they realize Townsville doesn't properly utilize
02:58 resources to rehabilitate criminals.
03:01 Instead, it's just always a vicious cycle of prison, release, and committing crimes.
03:07 This skit initially seems to roast how the trio treats its villains.
03:10 However, it's pretty clear that the sketch is calling out America's justice system
03:15 specifically for its failings.
03:17 "Maybe if you cared about more than just the Townsville 1%, Fuzzy could contribute
03:22 to society!"
03:23 It's safe to say that we weren't expecting a Powerpuff Girls parody to make us want to
03:28 call our local congressman about justice reform.
03:31 "And so, Townsville is saved from its greatest villain yet, The Man!"
03:36 Number 7.
03:37 Jason vs. Godzilla There's Jason Voorhees, there's Godzilla,
03:42 and now there's the two facing off.
03:44 Isn't this the big showdown everyone's wanted?
03:47 "Godzilla has destroyed the last of our air force, sir.
03:50 We have one final option."
03:52 "Nuclear?"
03:53 "Better."
03:54 "Jason Voorhees!"
03:55 Maybe not exactly, but this sketch gives us a tease of the potential fight anyways.
04:01 Jason going up against literal Godzilla is a real head-scratcher, but it's even funnier
04:06 to think about who'd hypothetically beat who.
04:09 Once again, what seems silly is really a great satire on the movie-going public's obsession
04:14 with intellectual property-driven crossovers.
04:17 "Why won't you die?"
04:20 It's fully believable that this could be the next movie in the MonsterVerse.
04:24 And if we're being honest, we kinda want to see this outlandish movie.
04:27 "I would actually see this!
04:29 I mean, like, not on a Friday night."
04:32 At the very least, you definitely can't say it's a boring premise.
04:36 Number 6.
04:37 A Scooby Friday When the Scooby gang tries to solve a mystery
04:42 that has Jason Voorhees at the root of the problem, it doesn't go that well.
04:47 "What are we doing here?"
04:49 "Camp Crystal Lake.
04:50 Supposedly haunted by a machete-wielding spook named Jason Voorhees."
04:57 Although we'd like to say that the mystery gang held their own against the demented slasher,
05:02 we'd be lying.
05:03 There's actually a character slaughter before the gang gets picked off, in goofy and inventive
05:08 ways.
05:09 The worst qualities of each member of the Scooby-Doo gang are brought to the forefront.
05:13 "Her first!
05:15 Kill her first!"
05:17 Fittingly, the most competent member of the gang is the only one who survives.
05:22 But even Velma isn't free of some criticism.
05:26 Between the vicious slaughter and deep digs, none of the Scooby gang emerges from this
05:30 skit unscathed.
05:31 "Now to see who Jason Voorhees really is.
05:36 Old man Phillips?
05:38 But why?"
05:39 "Spanish doubloons worth hundreds of dollars are sitting at the bottom of the lake!"
05:44 5.
05:45 Voldemort's Nose Job
05:47 There's a lot of things people can make fun of Voldemort for.
05:50 However, this sketch chooses to fixate on his nose.
05:54 Although Voldemort's own actions caused him to lose it, even we want him to get a
05:57 break after being mercilessly heckled.
06:00 He gets so insecure that he goes in for surgery to get one put on.
06:04 "I'm ready.
06:05 Cut me!"
06:06 Unfortunately, James Potter wrecks the nose.
06:09 Twice.
06:11 Voldemort's busted nose then leads him right back to where he started with people making
06:16 fun of him again.
06:17 "Voldemort, why so bent out of shape?"
06:18 "I'm angry enough to kill that guy's baby!"
06:23 His constant ridicule also led to him deciding to attack the young Harry Potter.
06:27 Thanks to this skit, the powerful dark wizard comes off as an insecure man-child.
06:31 "I confess myself disappointed."
06:37 4.
06:38 Marvel Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
06:40 Pretty much every episode.
06:41 You know a parody is well done when even superfans agree that the joke is accurate.
06:47 "Tommy, that was perfect!"
06:49 Robot Chicken takes a brilliant stab at Marvel's ABC series, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
06:55 In the original show, spies try to solve problems in the MCU themselves.
07:00 So the skit mocks the show's inability to utilize any of the franchise's major heroes
07:05 to solve any of the problems the characters encounter.
07:08 "You better call Nick Fury."
07:09 "Fury's unavailable."
07:10 "I'm sure Tony Stark could help us."
07:12 "He's out of the country."
07:13 "Thor would be more than powerful enough to…"
07:15 "No, he's in space."
07:17 The excuses that agent Phil Coulson lists off in this sketch get more and more ridiculous,
07:22 which further exhibits just how superheroes in the Marvel arsenal fail to make an appearance
07:26 in the series.
07:27 Who needs the Avengers when you've got Coulson looking out for heroes anyways?
07:32 "Iron Man just flew by."
07:34 "Oh, can I see?"
07:35 "You know what, just take my word for it."
07:37 Number 3.
07:38 Roasting the Rugrats Now that we think about it, the parents of
07:42 the Rugrats kids were definitely slacking.
07:44 How could these infant kids get away with all these absurd adventures otherwise?
07:48 "Well, after crossing the freeway, base jumping off a cliff and dodging bullets in
07:52 a gang war, we finally found my reptile doll."
07:55 "Tommy, what are you doing in the street?"
07:58 This skit brings this classic Nickelodeon kid show's major flaw to light.
08:04 During the skit, Dee Dee berates Stu for letting the children run off into the streets while
08:09 he tinkered in the basement.
08:10 "I'm sorry, the babies escaped and I…"
08:13 "Escaped?
08:14 They're babies, you sackless moron!"
08:16 The kids listen in absolute horror as she goes off on her husband for his inattentiveness.
08:20 "Oh, a new toy!
08:21 Never mind then!"
08:22 Obviously, she's not any better herself.
08:28 We love that the skit used Robot Chicken's unmistakable vulgarity as a means to explore
08:33 a legitimate issue with the premise of Rugrats.
08:37 Number 2.
08:38 The Joker's Electrocution In one of their many showdowns, Batman beats
08:43 Joker within an inch of his life and contemplates killing the clown.
08:48 "No, one more punch would kill you."
08:51 After all, Joker's committed numerous crimes, even when behind bars in Arkham.
08:56 Desperate to end the clown without killing, Batman realizes there's a loophole here.
09:01 The Dark Knight gives convincing testimony to a jury that puts the clown in an electric
09:05 chair.
09:06 "Maurice P. Joker, for 2,391 counts of murder and many other crimes that seem minor next
09:12 to 2,391 counts of murder, you have been sentenced to death."
09:17 While this sketch seems ridiculous on the surface, it makes fun of the numerous occasions
09:21 where Batman finds a loophole through his "no killing" rule that results in an enemy's
09:26 death.
09:27 The difference here is that we see an execution of the Joker that's more brutal than some
09:32 of the Dark Knight's entire films.
09:59 Number 1.
10:00 Ken's Hidden Rage While you've probably heard of Barbenheimer,
10:05 have you heard of Ken Fight Club?
10:07 "The first rule of Fight Club, you do not talk about Fight Club."
10:11 Before 2023, Barbie deconstructed the male doll's psyche.
10:16 This skit took a stab at the character's mind.
10:19 The film pokes fun at the fact that Ken is trapped in a life where he doesn't have
10:23 much agency.
10:25 This disgruntled narrator vents by participating in an underground fight ring where he and
10:29 other Kens duke it out.
10:36 During the skit, the brawls get pretty nasty.
10:39 It's hilarious to see such a tonal shift for a brand that's usually so light.
10:45 It also, surprisingly, brings up a lot of digs at Barbie lore in an incredibly short
10:50 time.
10:51 Overall, it's a savage take on a Ken that didn't know he was… Kenuff.
