Editing Robot Chicken (section)

==Format==
''Robot Chicken'' employs stop-motion animation of toys, primarily [[action figures]], as well as [[Clay animation|claymation]] and sometimes other objects, such as socks, paper bags, and popsicle sticks.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{cite web|url=http://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/episodes/3902/Robot_Chicken_Constantine_Dark_Tip.html|title=Video Games, Game Reviews & News|publisher=G4tv.com|date=February 16, 2005|access-date=July 26, 2013|archive-date=December 3, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171203082836/http://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/episodes/3902/Robot_Chicken_Constantine_Dark_Tip.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Custom action figures made in the likeness of celebrities are used to portray them.

Each episode is composed of short unrelated sketches varying from a few seconds to a few minutes long. Between each sketch is a moment of [[Noise (video)|static]], resembling the act of [[channel surfing]] on an [[analog TV]].

The show mocks [[popular culture]], referencing toys, movies, television, games, popular fads, and more obscure references like anime cartoons and older television programs, much in the same vein as comedy sketch shows like ''Saturday Night Live''.<ref name="askmeninterview">{{cite web|url=https://www.askmen.com/celebs/interview_300/328_seth-green-interview.html|title=Seth Green Interview|publisher=askmen.com|access-date=May 2, 2013|archive-date=June 2, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130602071904/http://ie.askmen.com/celebs/interview_300/328_seth-green-interview.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

A recurring motif involves fantastical characters being placed in mundane or adult situations (such as [[Stretch Armstrong]] requiring a corn syrup transplant after losing his abilities due to age, [[Optimus Prime]] performing a [[prostate cancer]] [[Public service announcement|PSA]], and [[Godzilla]] experiencing [[sexual dysfunction]]).<ref name="askmeninterview" />

''Robot Chicken'' features a rotating ensemble cast of recurring performers and cameos. Its most frequent performers include Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, [[Breckin Meyer]], [[Tom Root]], and [[Dan Milano]].
