KR skit on Robot Chicken

Post by Kitzira » Mon Jun 13, 2005 12:24 am

Knight Rider makes another appearance tonight on Cartoon Network's "Robot Chicken."

It's rather humorous and if you tape or dvr it, take a close look at the text on the dash when they show it. I had to go back after the show was over to read it all. Yay for the dvr's always recording of live tv.

Robot Chicken will be reshown tonight(Sunday) at 2am central time. Or catch it again Thursday night when Cartoon Network reshows most of the weekend premires on Adult Swim.

Hey Kitzira, long time no see.

In case anyone misses it tomorrow or is deprived of cable like me, Neps got a clip of KITT's appearance on the show when it was first aired.

I think I just saw the episode she was talking about. It's actually a new one. The guys at Robot Chicken do a spoof on Knight Rider and Ferris Bueller

I always hate it when they kill KITT in the end. :( That "smile" on KITT's vox was priceless - and clever! Why didn't they do that in the actual show? :)

Jeeze, the Robot Chicken guys like destroying KITT. In both of his apperances, he winds up scrap metal.

Yay! The return of the 'Poop' voicebox!

When the valets are trying to take the miles off KITT a la Bueller, a readout says 'Micheal, the car is in reverse. Look behind you!' I'm pretty sure that there are more lines displayed like this, but I couldn't make them out.

And what exactally came out of his hood when the valets hook up a keg to his fuel intake?

This has pretty much nothing to do with the skit, but being the doll-collecting nerd I am, I thought the top on Mike's date and the silver dress one of the prositutes looked familar. A quick check on Amazon revealed that they are part of a fashion pack for Mattel's 'Winx Club' doll line. This is odd since RC doesn't like to use doll clothes off-the-shelf. (Example: The Jem doll at the end of this episode is wearing a custom pink stage dress and belt, even though the first Jem doll released was dressed in both.)

Poor KITT! But it still made me laugh even though they blew up our beloved Trans Am once again. You have to remember though, nothing is sacred on Robot Chicken. :lol:
Flyer Guy: "You really a talking car?"
KITT: "No. I'm a tight end for the Chicago Bears!"

It was pretty good but how can they make Michael say "eh just a car"? That's horrible.

Some of them that I remember said "Michael, you should read more. Comic books don't count." "Micheal, brush your teeth." And various other 'reminding' things. When I downloaded the .avi to rewatch it, the compression made it hard to read the text. So I just remember what it said when I paused it on the dvr.

This past Sunday's had an A-Team spoof on it, for those who are interested.

Thanks. :) Hey, I was watching again Return to Cadiz last night and KITT admitting finally that Jennifer Shell had a nice smile. I'm thinking now KITT doesn't have a bad 'smile' either. :D
