" Well-known character actor Seth Green has a sketch comedy series on Adult Swim called Robot Chicken. And basically, what it is, it's a bunch of short sketches that are all animated with a clunkier version of stop-motion technique (not as many frames per second), using mostly cheap generic toys and action figures as the primary cast for the skits.
