In Robot Chicken season 7 episode 6, titled "El Skeletorito," viewers are in for a hilarious and action-packed ride. The episode opens with a skit that parodies the popular sci-fi film franchise, Star Wars. In this skit, a group of stormtroopers is seen constructing a massive space station, which they dub the "Death Starbucks." The twist? The Death Starbucks serves up coffee with a deadly kick - it comes with a lethal dose of caffeine, causing the drinker to instantly drop dead after taking a sip.
From there, the episode takes a turn into the world of professional wrestling. Viewers are treated to a skit that sees Skeletor, the villainous character from the popular 80s cartoon He-Man, reinvented as a wrestler named El Skeletorito. The skit is played out like a wrestling match, complete with live commentary and over-the-top theatrics. As El Skeletorito goes head-to-head with his opponent, viewers are treated to a number of gags and jokes that will leave them chuckling.
Later on in the episode, a skit takes viewers into the world of late-night talk shows. A fictional host, named Jimmy Rockford, interviews a variety of celebrity guests, all of whom are represented by inanimate objects. For example, one guest is a talking car, while another is a jar of pickles. The skit is played for laughs, with each guest providing their own unique brand of humor.
Another skit takes viewers into the world of video games, as a fictional hero named Captain Face Punch battles it out with his arch-nemesis, The Minotaur. The skit is presented in the style of an old-school arcade game, complete with pixelated graphics and electronic sound effects. As the two characters duke it out, viewers are treated to a variety of throwback gags and jokes.
Overall, "El Skeletorito" is a standout episode in the Robot Chicken series. Its varied skits keep things interesting and entertaining throughout, while the show's trademark humor remains as sharp as ever. Fans of the series are sure to love this installment, and newcomers will find plenty to enjoy as well.
