Profuse profanity makes RC less funny

"My husband and I love Robot Chicken. The first time he saw the show he laughed so hard our neighbors in the next apartment woke up and started banging on the wall. Our only gripe with this third season is that it is uncensored. I never would have thought this was a problem, as it is an adult show, but dropping the F-bomb more times in a 15 minutes show than most R-rated films do makes the show less funny. It makes it seem like it's trying too hard. It's excessive and distracting. It was way funnier when all of the swear words were beeps. All of the nudity is also uncensored. This mostly consists of Barbie boobs which aren't erotic in the least. It was funnier when they were blurred out because it made it seem like it was something inappropriate, instead of a child's plaything.
Some people might think we are just prudes that are offended by the language, but if that were the case, we wouldn't watch the show at all. My point is Robot Chicken was funnier when they didn't need so much uncensored language. The show can carry itself without it."

More stop-motion animated insanity and hilarity

"You can't help but love Robot Chicken. The brainchild of Seth Green, Robot Chicken never stops being anything but funny, and the episodes featured in this third season collection are no exception. Featured here are more skits featuring your favorite subjects of nerd-dom, including seeing Soundwave from Transformers cope with being a boom-box in the modern day, a re-creation of a famous G.I. Joe battle, a 24-spoof starring Dracula, a chicken-fied take of Law & Order, The Shield's Vic Mackey joining the world of the Fantastic Four, He-Man getting murdered, a zombified Kool-Aid guy, and a more than memorable Christmas themed episode which is a highlight of the entire series, and features a vengeful nerd getting transported to Narnia among other vignettes. This season also isn't short on voice talent either, and features contributions from regulars Green and Breckin Meyer, as well as Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, Mila Kunis, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Trachtenberg, Ginnifer Goodwin, Dave Coulier, Kelly Hu, Snoop Dogg, Emma Caulfield, Katee Sackhoff, Stan Lee, Hayden Panettiere, Donald Faison, Michael Chiklis, Chris Evans, Julian McMahon, Rosario Dawson, Skeet Ulrich, Mark Hamil, Masi Oka, Amy Smart, Billy Dee Williams, Malcolm McDowell, Matthew Lillard, Nathan Fillion, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon among others. The only flaws of the third season of Robot Chicken lie in the DVD itself, which is a little scant on special features compared to previous seasons. That aside though, Robot Chicken is still a hilarious blast, and you already know that this is an essential addition to your Adult Swim library."

As good as season 1 and 2 ...but

"this is the 3rd season, and after enjoying the previous seasons, it
struck me in this season that they might need some new personel to do
some of the voice overs. Im starting to hear the same character voice
in many different sketches and its becomming anoying to a point...
Anyway ...the show is original and hope to see season 4.
"

What can I say but Robot Chicken!

"I will say that this season was darker than the last two but otherwise it is great."
