My knowledge of ‘Robot Chicken’ has been seeing small bits of the show over the years, and maybe a few full episodes, and with episodes being only 5 minutes long means it’s not hard to catch a full one.

I’m a big stand-up comedian fan and often when I hear comedians talk about other comedians that I haven’t heard of, I normally check them out pretty quickly.
Often when you finally get around to seeing a show that’s been out for a while, it’s a good thing, as you can sit down and watch the whole series, or at least a good chunk of the show, in one hit and really treat yourself.
