Ep 13. Atta Toy

Robot Chicken is an adult stop-motion animation show that uses various popular culture references in combination with absurd and obscene situations to produce an entertaining and comedic experience. The thirteenth episode of the first season is titled "Atta Toy."

The episode kicks off with a parody of McDonald's "Filet-O-Fish" commercial from the '70s which shows a group of cowboys riding their horses out into the ocean as they sing the famous jingle. The scene then transitions into a toy store where a kid is looking for the ultimate toy, only to find a Japanese toy that transforms into a highly detailed and realistic World War II battlefield. However, the kid quickly realizes that playing with the toy is not as fun as he thought it would be when he accidentally creates a miniature universe that soon turns on him.

In another sketch, a young woman is trying to finish a crossword puzzle, but every answer is an obscene sexual term. As she fills out the puzzle, the room lights up with bright neon colors, and her grandmother appears out of nowhere -- encouraging her to complete the puzzle and use the terms appropriately. This causes a panic, and she frantically tries to hide the puzzle before her grandmother sees it.

The next scene parodies the Power Rangers TV show, with the characters, played by actors in costumes, attempting to save a building from being destroyed. They move awkwardly and bump into each other, performing their signature useless moves and failing to stop the destruction. Eventually, their robot comes into play and starts to destroy the building faster than the enemy, leaving them to start fighting their own creation.

Another sketch features a scientist who creates a machine that can make a copy of anything. He tests it out with a hamster, but things start to go wrong when the copy has a mind of its own and starts to torment the original hamster.

The episode also includes a parody of the Fast and Furious franchise, featuring Vin Diesel as a robotic rooster that must race against a group of rival chickens for a chance at freedom.

"Atta Toy" continues with scenes that feature parodies of popular shows and movies like The Real World, Police Academy, and The Jetsons. One sketch shows He-Man attempting to rescue Skeletor's girlfriend, only to discover he has more feelings for the villain than he would like to admit. Another scene features a young boy who wishes on a shooting star and is transported to a magical land populated with candy people. But the boy soon realizes that he has become their ruler and must keep the peace in his new sugary kingdom.

Overall, "Atta Toy" is a hilarious episode that presents a variety of parodies that will be sure to make viewers laugh. With its iconic stop-motion animation and witty humor, Robot Chicken continues to be a favorite among fans of adult animated comedy.
