Not since MST3K ended have I stayed up late for something that makes me laugh to tears. My wife was in the “fuggin’ stoopid” camp, but had never actually watched an entire episode. Recently she actually watched a few and changed her vote. This is a miricale as her sense of humor is not as perverse as mine. Now we both stay up for those 15 minutes of sick bliss. What say you? ---

You’ve posted in the wrong forum. This should be in GQ. The correct answer is “freaking hilarious.” ---

Freakin hilarious. Every time I watch it it makes me laugh out loud at least once. ---

Hilarious. Even my “we only got cable for the local channel reception, so we can watch the Packers”, NPR-listening, near-Luddite friend was laughing her ass off at a number of them, and told me how much she loves Seth Green’s work. ---

I finally got my wife to watch the Robot Chicken Star Wars special. She has moved from the stoopid camp and has joined me in the Freakin’ Hilarious camp. ---

I’m another in the “both” camp. I liked “Twisted Mego Theater” feature in ToyFare magazine, which I’ve been told was done by the same people, and is pretty much the same concept. Sometimes Robot Chicken is just _funny_, but sometimes it’s just… trying too hard. I find that, quite often, jokes in Robot Chicken can go on too long. I can’t skip a bad joke as easily on RC as I can in TMT. ---

Freakin’ hilarious. My roommate thinks it’s damaged beyond all repair but can’t avoid watching if I have it on. My favorite clip: Doctor Who standing on base in a baseball field for a few seconds before going “D’ja get it?!” ---

Hilarious. My favorite episode was the one where they interspersed brief references to **Midnight Madness**. For the longest time I thought I dreamed that movie. Nobody seemed to remember it but me. I couldn’t figure out why I would dream about a very young Michael J. Fox and David Naughton. “Fagabefe?” ---

It’s got that good/bad thing going that you get with younger writers: it can be incredibly sharp and incisive because they writers don’t identify with the establisment in any way, and it can be callow and dumb because they writers are young and clueless. Definitely worth watching beause in thsi instance the sharp and incisive far outweighs the young and clueless. Jenna Bush and Dubya reprising Luke and Darth Vader’s final scene in the cloud city, for example, was brilliant. ---

It’s not Venture Brothers-funny, but it’s pretty darn funny all the same. Even the stoopid bits are over quick enough that you don’t mind them much. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/poll-robot-chicken-freaking-hilarious-or-fuggin-stoopid/411170.md?page=2)
