As we approach the premiere of Seth Green's 'Robot Chicken: Self-Discovery Special' to honor of the animated adult stop-motion sketch comedy series' 20th anniversary, we wanted to remember some of show's most iconic sketches. When Seth Green launched 'Robot Chicken' alongside Matthew Senreich on Adult Swim in 2005, it became an instant hit that fans stayed up late to watch. While some sketches may not hold up today due to some of the crude jokes, let's just say 'Robot Chicken' isn't afraid to stretch the limits of comedy, no matter how dark the gags become.

ROBOT CHICKEN Is Back With a Wild New Special and You Can Enjoy The First Trailer! — GeekTyrant
After three years in the toy chest, Robot Chicken is springing back to life, and just in time for its 20th anniversary. Adult Swim has dropped the first trailer for the upcoming Robot Chicken: Self-Discovery Special , and it's exactly the kind of ridiculous, pop-culture-skewering mayhem fans have been waiting for. This new half-hour special arrives on Adult Swim on July 20th and hits Max the following day. It follows the show's signature nerd mascot as he embarks on a spiritual journey 'America's way: going on reality shows!' According to Adult Swim, he's trying to find his identity in the middle of 90 Day Fiancé-style dating chaos, reality TV madness, and even Shark Week danger. You can expect the usual blend of irreverent stop-motion chaos, but this time it's aiming its plastic finger squarely at Warner Bros. Discovery's reality-heavy empire. In a joint statement, creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich celebrated the return: '20 years ago, we set out to make the kind of funny and unexpected show that we'd want to watch. And somehow, we're still here, making sketch comedy with toys and making each other laugh. 'As always, the fans are the true wind beneath our wings, and this new special is going to soar really high. And then maybe from that height, poop on your head. But we all know that's good luck, so consider this payback for your support.' If you're wondering whether this special signals a full-on return for the series, the answer is... not really. In a recent interview, Green was pretty candid about the show's future: 'I can say with a bit of certainty that I don't think we'll ever do a whole season of Robot Chicken. I don't think we'll ever do another 20 quarter-hour episodes,' he said. 'What I do expect we'll do is continue to make half-hour specials that are dedicated to a specific property.' Green even pointed to South Park's recent run of streaming-focused specials as a model: 'Those have been really effective, and each individual special has made money for the parent company and promotion for its streaming platform. I think that's where we're going to start to fit in.' So if you've been craving the chaotic brilliance of Robot Chicken , this is sure to be a fun and wild ride!
