It's something a miracle that Veteran "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" veteran set Green And the animated TV series by Matthew Seinreich "Robotic Chicken" is still going from 2025. Green and Serrech often used toys and pop like-in-fashion in the 1980s (who remembers the strange purple pimp from "Strawberry Shortcut?"

That the "robotic chicken" remains popular proves that the new generation has become anger for its sense of humor (or that or 50-year-old men are relentlessly committed). Of course, if "Family Guy" can play a similar hand 23 seasons, why can't "robotic chicken?" (That pilot "family man" was officially found, by the way.) Also, why is it called "robotic chicken?" It's a sketch comedy show, and the title of robotic chicken does not appear except for the sequence title. Most refers to the figures of pop culture dealing with tumultuous shenanigans, rarely concerned with cybernetics or poultry.

The title seems to have been the source of a particular quarrel among the show's writers during its development. As the creatives of the series discussed in oral history for 2019 InverseGreen, Seinreich and writer/producers Tim Rout, Mike Laco and Doug Goldstein have started about a few fun potential titles during their extended storm sessions, but nothing will stick. Some of the proposed titles include "Junk in the Trunk", "Toyz in the Attic" and "The Deep End" (which seems to have been a knot on their future network, adult swimming). Until they looked at the menu for their local Chinese restaurant - Kung Pao Bistro on West Hollywood - "Robotic Chicken" appeared. Not everyone wanted it, but they went with that.

Seinrich recalled the first squeeze that he and his compatriots felt from their bosses in terms of title. As you remember that:

"When we started writing the first season, they wanted a name. We were like four or five episodes in the show and we had no name or sequence of the title. We were constantly delivering things to adult swim. We tried 'Garbage in the trunk'But we have learned that this is the name of a very popular porn series. We have tried 'Added TV, ' And the studio hated it. "

It was a root that recalled the first time someone was thinking of a "robotic chicken", explaining that it got out of the menu. In his own words:

"Woulde we came across the titles for the play and the network would overthrow them. It was approaching the air and we had no title. We used to sit around the set room, eating Chinese food on his coffee table, and we would always order it from the same place: Kung Pao Bistro. They had a plate called a" slave. "

By the way the robotic chicken is still on The menu at Bistro Kung Pao. According to the restaurant description, it contains "crunchy pieces of chicken and broccoli, with sweet and tightened sauce". It was Goldstein who proposed to call the show "Robotic Chicken". Laco agreed with the title. The root immediately hated him, not wanting the absurdity of the sector for all this. He felt that he was too close to other absurd titles of adult swimming as "aqua teen power of hunger". But Rout's concerns were ignored, and Goldstein quickly came up with a sequence of a dead chicken to resurrect as a partial robot and was forced to watch his show, "Clock Orange"-Stil.

So, the title "Robotic Chicken" is an isolar reference, no different from the names of the scope with strange sounds or in the joke you and your friends have. Strange, "robotic chicken" corresponds to the unusual mechanical aspects of the stop-moving animation. It works great. (My apology for root.)
