Robot Chicken is an American adult stop-motion animated sketch comedy television series created by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich for Cartoon Network's nighttime programming block Adult Swim. The twelve-minute show consists of short unrelated sketches usually satirizing pop culture characters or celebrities. Toys are employed as the players, animated via stop motion and supplemented by claymation. The voice cast changes every episode, and features many celebrity cameos. The writers, most prominently Green, also provide many of the voices. Robot Chicken has won two Annie Awards and six Emmy Awards.

Following the eleventh season's conclusion, the series switched formats, moving away from 20-episode full seasons and towards making quarterly specials, the first of which, based on shows from the Discovery Channel, was released on July 20, 2025. A special commemorating Adult Swim's 25th anniversary was released on August 30, 2026, with another special celebrating Cartoon Network's 35th anniversary airing sometime in 2027.
