00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down the best digs, insults, bizarre characterizations
00:11and yes, even roasts from Robot Chicken.
00:19Number 10.
00:20Gordon Ramsay Known for his hot temper in shows like Hell's
00:24Kitchen, Ramsay hosts a celebrity edition of MasterChef, featuring prominent cartoon
00:29cooks.
00:30He's quick to anger, as expected, and goes off on SpongeBob.
00:39As you might expect, every contestant's cooking attempt ends in disaster.
00:44Chef accidentally releases Thetans when attempting to make a lava cake.
00:51Just when it looks like they're going to wreak havoc, Ramsay orders them to make him
00:55a risotto.
00:56This MasterChef can definitely be temperamental, and this depiction wonderfully captures that.
01:11Number 9.
01:12George RR Martin Readers of A Song of Ice and Fire may have
01:17a bone to pick with Martin as they have been waiting a really, really long time for the
01:22next book in the series to come out.
01:30While trying to walk down the street, minding his own business, he's bombarded by nerds
01:35asking him about when the next book will be finished and other questions about the series.
01:45He's so overwhelmed by the onslaught of questions and nerds, he takes refuge in a telephone
01:50booth, seemingly trapped.
02:01Number 8.
02:02Justin Bieber The Biebs wasn't exactly known for his edginess
02:06back in 2012.
02:08It was a time when his style was starting to change from his kid-friendly persona.
02:18This sketch turns the volume up to 11 with a Christmas special.
02:22Here we get Bieber and Santa to bring out the aggression, when at first it looked like
02:26things were going to be saccharine.
02:30Not only is the music fast-paced and heavy, but we get a ton of bleeped out swears.
02:35So you know this isn't Grandma's Christmas.
02:42Number 7.
02:44Justin Timberlake Cameron Diaz receives an unfortunate cancer
02:48diagnosis thanks to having been exposed to a toxic substance.
02:56Naturally, she discusses her condition with her then-partner Timberlake.
03:00He's not exactly understanding, to say the least.
03:03He assures her not to worry as he'll find love again.
03:10This is followed up by him asking her if there's anything she wants to do before she kicks
03:14it.
03:15She decides to go out and get revenge on people who have wronged her, but Timberlake was selfishly
03:20asking if they could cuddle.
03:24Number 6.
03:25Bob Barker Fans of The Price is Right should be familiar
03:30with the former host's sign-off of getting your pets spayed or neutered.
03:43What you might not realize is just how damn serious Barker is about the matter.
03:48He decides to buy a pair of gardening shears and wages a one-man war on the pet population.
04:00He doesn't just limit himself to dogs and cats, soon he targets horses and pandas as
04:06well.
04:07It culminates in a showdown with Snoop D-O-double-G, where it seems Barker has finally met his
04:13match.
04:14However, he still manages to clip Snoop.
04:17Who knew Bob Barker could be such a menace?
04:20Number 5.
04:21Jean-Claude Van Damme If you've ever seen any of his films, you
04:25know JCVD is rather adept at doing the splits.
04:29Perhaps you've even seen the Volvo Trucks commercial where he does them between two
04:34moving trucks.
04:40The commercial is what Robot Chicken parodies, except in their version, random giraffes keep
04:45appearing in the middle of the road and repeatedly smack him in his nether region.
04:52The original ad is so over the top that getting constantly hit in the groin is an appropriate
04:57response.
04:58Who knew it would be giraffes what defeated Jean-Claude?
05:02Number 4.
05:03Bjork Her swan dress, the Icelandic singer wore
05:06to the 2001 Academy Awards, is iconic, which is probably why decades later it appears in
05:13this sketch.
05:14The twist here is that it isn't merely an article of clothing, but an actual swan that
05:19took too much melatonin.
05:24Once up, it's confused as to where it is and naturally begins to panic.
05:29Bjork, caught off guard, can only helplessly flail about as the swan tries to escape its
05:34surroundings.
05:35It's really simple in execution, which just highlights the absurdity of wearing such a
05:39dress.
05:44Number 3.
05:45Diablo Cody If this sketch is anything to go by, she's
05:49probably the last person you'd want to give a eulogy.
05:56Cody is known for snappy dialogue in Juno.
05:59Here, she carries that same energy.
06:02Unsurprisingly, funerals are somber, serious affairs, and Cody does not fit the tone.
06:08Seen in a different setting, her dialogue schtick would get old really fast.
06:20Her quick speaking pace and numerous pop culture references are just overdone.
06:25It's no wonder that Janet literally rises out of her casket to ask why Diablo Cody is
06:30speaking at her funeral.
06:34Number 2.
06:35Keanu Reeves You could argue that Reeves' acting style
06:39is wooden and is the same in all his movies.
06:47That's certainly being lampooned in this ad for breakfast sausages.
06:50Reeves portrays his characters from The Matrix, Constantine, and Speed.
06:55But you wouldn't know that without him explicitly telling, given that he gives the exact same
07:00delivery, cadence, and pace for each role.
07:07Even worse is that he can't remember Jack Traven's name and just says he's the guy
07:12from Speed.
07:14The rest of the sketch is forgettable, but top marks for parodying Keanu.
07:26Number 1.
07:43Seth Green It's good that the show's co-creator can
07:46poke fun at himself.
07:47While watching the Oscars, Green gets a call from his mother asking if he's at the awards
07:52ceremony.
07:53Evidently, he isn't, and that's when she lays into him, asking when he's going to
08:01start doing prestige work.
08:03He responds that he does work of which he's proud.
08:10Regardless of what you may think of Robot Chicken, it's been on the air since 2005,
08:16which isn't nothing.
08:17However, the deepest cut comes from her response that Oscar doesn't seem to think that much
08:22of his acting output.
08:27What's your favorite roast from Robot Chicken?
