Robot Chicken Season 4 Episode 2 " They Took My Thumbs" Review

I'm a huge Robot Chicken fan but something occurred to me while watching Youtube videos i'd never reviewed anything to do with Robot Chicken so if this is something you all want i'll start making weekly reviews for the most part they will be of the latest episode but as you can guess from the title this one is from Season 4 and that's because this is my official "pilot" so here we go.

The types of stories being told in this episode include finding out who builds the temples in Raiders Of The Lost Ark , See Jason get excited for a certain date , A Salesmen is late for a meeting but he has a really good excuse and witness the Justice League on a "Bring Your Sidekick To Work Day". Since Robot Chicken episodes don't have a story unless there a special what i'd do instead is list the kind of jokes that are in the episode but i'll still make a comment on the jokes later on in the review.

Now I won't say that Seth Green is in every episode and will thus only credit the guest stars but for this pilot review this episode does have Seth Green and he's joined by Sebastian Bach, Alex Borstein, Hugh Davidson, Clare Grant, Breckin Meyer, Matthew Senreich and Milo Ventimiglia. The voice acting I thought was really good I became a bit of a Clare Grant thanks to seeing her in The Graves and i still didn't reconise her in this episode and Seth is as great as always my only issue is I could tell straight away that Ales Borstein was playing Wonder Woman but that might because I can pick her voice out anywhere.

I won't really go on about the animation since it's an animated show and if you guys like it this will be a weekly thing but i will say that I liked the animation in this episode I think that stop motion animation really does go well with sketch comedy and they did a good job of mixing it with the CGI stuff they add in in post production.

Honestly the jokes in this episode were really freaking funny if your like me and your a fan of Indiana Jones you'll find your self laughing alot during the opening sketch that's how funny it is and it's what I love about this show it takes something your familiar with and puts a different twist on it and I won't spoil the Justice League just because you really do have to see it.

Overall this was a really funny episode and if you guys like this review that is a phrase you'll see alot of because I really do like this show and there will not be a rating on the episodes and i'm going to let you all know now that in a few weeks there will be a full review of Hot Streets.

  

My Brief Thoughts On Our Cartoon President

Ok then guys as you know by a previous post I did where i mention this show I was really looking forward to seeing the first episode and well the first episode was released online yesterday and i've just finished watching it so here are my brief thoughts on Our Cartoon President.

Ok so the premise of the show is The White House has opened it's doors for an all access look into the president's life. Yeah as you can most likely tell this show will be episodic in nature and i quite like it altho i had to get that summery of Wikipedia since they don't actually explain it in the show it self.

Starring as the president is Jeff Bergman who is joined by William Sadler , Zach Cherry , Gabriel Gundacker and Anna Eilinsfeld and for the pilot episode co-creator Stephen Colbert and I have to say that Jeff Bergman does a spot on impression of the president and he gives a really funny performance as do most of the cast in this first episode.

Now I have to say that this show isn't thirty minuets of bashing Donald Trump since that would get old pretty quick but it instead chooses to make him a lovable idiot and this is coming from someone who doesn't even like him and in a way i'm glad they didn't go the obvious route and just bash him for thirty minuets since that would have been far to easy.

I'm going to be frank right now i can see alot of people hating the animation heck even hating the show and judging by what people have been saying on twitter about the animation i'm right in that regard but I personally don't hate the animation that much yes it does take some getting used to but once I got used to it it was decent it wasn't anything groundbreaking but it wasn't anything awful either.

The jokes as well were a bit hit and miss but I think that's more down to the actual trailer which made the show look like it was a satire of Donald Trump and in some cases that's true but not for alot of the time and it's in those cases that the jokes don't work they still could have done a satire and showed a more human side to the president but they chose not to.

Overall i'd say that this is show that you might like and i hope that alot of people do give it a shot i know i will you can find the first episode up on Showtimes website or you can watch it when the show premiers on Showtime and February 11th as you can guess there will not be a rating since it's only one episode in but if you guys want maybe when the series ends i'll do a full review then and rate it.
