Tom's Guidea day ago
The Robot Chicken Nerd attempts to discover who he really is via some of America's biggest reality shows (or at least, those owned by WBD). Here's how to watch "Robot Chicken: Self-Discovery Special" online and from anywhere with a VPN.
► Date and time: "Robot Chicken: Self-Discovery Special" premieres on Sunday, July 20 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.• U.S. — Watch on Adult Swim via Sling / HBO Max • Free stream — Channel 4 (UK)• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
It's been a good few years since the stop-motion sketch show last skewered pop culture, but this 30-minute special (practically feature length by the usual 12-minute standard) celebrates 'Robot Chicken's' 20th Anniversary. Throughout the one-off episode, The Nerd will journey through the realms of Discovery, Food Network and TLC, popping into the likes of "Shark Week", "90 Day Fiancé" and more.
'For years we've been keen students of pop culture, and nothing is more pop than reality TV,' said show creators Seth Green and Matthew Senreich. 'Now that Discovery Global Media is 'Robot Chicken's' corporate daddy, we knew it was time for a meaningful and loving exploration.'
After 11 seasons and 23 Emmy nominations (including six wins), it's great to be back in the world of wacky action figures, especially with the promise of the satirical show setting its sights to reality TV.

The 10 Most Outrageous ‘Robot Chicken' Sketches

As we approach the premiere of Seth Green's 'Robot Chicken: Self-Discovery Special' to honor of the animated adult stop-motion sketch comedy series' 20th anniversary, we wanted to remember some of show's most iconic sketches. When Seth Green launched 'Robot Chicken' alongside Matthew Senreich on Adult Swim in 2005, it became an instant hit that fans stayed up late to watch. While some sketches may not hold up today due to some of the crude jokes, let's just say 'Robot Chicken' isn't afraid to stretch the limits of comedy, no matter how dark the gags become.
