Robot Chicken jumps the shark

I've never really found Robot Chicken very funny. It reminds me of Shakespearean comedies in as much as they have an amusing premise and expect you to find that hilarious without them actually developing the sketch at all. Naturally there are a couple of exceptions that are funny, but I don't think it's a show worth spending very much time over...

Also Spitfire, you're being very naive if you honestly expect that people are able to control their feelings to such an extent that they don't get offended by anything particularly when it comes to a subject like religion. We're not talking about someone getting offended when they make fun of the TMNT or Star Wars or whatever, but by religion which is a far more deep-rooted part of someone's identity. In many cases it is the most deep-rooted part of someone's identity. Just take a look at the world today and you'll see how passionate people feel about religion...
