Robot Chicken - Roger Ebert

Season 9, episode 17: He's Not Even Aiming At the Toilet

[@jaketaller8567]

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, a movie critic named Roger Ebert, and although his criticism skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Roger can save the world.

[@Warcodered01]

Or it could you know just fucking rain and that would also stop the fire nation apparently.

[@JeromeProductions]

yes!

Roger: The Last Ebert

[@ChimeraLotietheBunny]

XD

[@Raidmasterprod]

Has anyone who’s watching this sketch ACTUALLY read Ebert's Review on "The Last Airbender?" The man after literally tells viewers to watch the animated show, stating that the movie would have been better if it remained a cartoon.

[@thecustodian1023]

The original cartoon series was pretty good. The second one with the woke crap undertones was garbage.

I agree with them, they should've stick to animation.

Eberts evaluation of avatar was worth more than the money they burned to make that farce of a movie

[@comicbookreviewer4856]

The problem i had with the last airbender when covering it the film rushed a lot of growth with team avatar as in book 3 we saw theme grow and understand things in book 1 like Aang learning the downside of rusing firebending and Katara being angry at Aang fast learning and Sokka finding respect for Suki these are growth we saw theme in and learn to work as a team but rusing a plot with a movie destory that growth

[@KaleLikesWaffles]

Ebert actually did give “The Last Airbender” a 0.5/4 lol

[@silverstrike5904]

I would've give it a 0

RIP Roger Ebert

[@ztslovebird]

Better than the actual movie.

[@S17yCyber]

Anything is better than that crap

[@comicbookreviewer4856]

When you realize making a movie based on the last airbender was a mistake as eatch story has more one thing leading up to it plus you had more time to get to know everyone and got to see team avatar grow up and become stronger

[@deadpool630]

Well, Roger Ebert actually likes cartoon movies. He just hates bad movies. And The Last Airbender was a fucking terrible movie.

[@Raidmasterprod]

He acutally reccomends watching the cartoon over the movie to "see what could have been."

[@gaigemann2918]

0:27 Even in Robot Chicken, Sokka is never lucky

[@MasterArchfiend]

I remember my dad liking the movie and I was so shocked that I actually yelled "Are you stupid? That dumpster fire was a bigger waste of time then trying to make a half scale replica of the Eiffel tower out of toothpicks!" I was grounded for 3 weekends and it would have been more if he hadn't watched the show and agreed with me.

[@davidwilliams2135]

That’s just unfair punishment for telling the truth, but I think you got hit for insulting your father. What you should have done after hearing him say he liked the “movie” was sit him down and introduce him to the real show. After each episode ask him what he thought of it, by episode three he should be renouncing the “movie” for the insult it is.

[@mr.l8723]

He’s the hero we deserve

[@cameroniacobucci]

[@earthrocker48]

This is better than the movie.

[@silverstrike5904]

Lol

[@SARADAISNOTUCHIHA]

Robot chicken now features inuyasha, naruto, avatar the last airbender and many more.

[@lizardguyNA]

The movie would've been 22 times better if that were the case. Ah well, at least the cartoon is good.

[@Tom_TheDutchguy]

The world needs Ebert

[@davidrule385]

"Man, Ebert loves this movie!" Me: He hates it.

[@StarSnowGhost]

I liked the extra touch of every surrounding extra in this version of The Last Airbender being white. I don't know if that was intentional but it kinda fit considering all the white washing in that film.

[@LuigiTheMetal64]

I guess you can say the people behind the twisted movie can not take criticism to well.

[@gameboy8425]

What a twist!

[@rubenvela6247]

And he was right to give it a thumbs down. Literally.

[@rodolfoleon4538]

The movie was literally a live action version of the first few episodes and still sucked. Thank you robot chicken and roger ebert for this.

[@Charles12]

actually it was a live action version of hand picked episodes from season 1, which makes it suck even more

[@josephrowe849]

Gene Siskel would've been proud.

[@leekenneth-walsh3545]

There is no movie in Ba Sing Se

[@Harper_1984]

I only dream I can reach Ebert’s level when it comes to reviews and criticism.

[@amitaikatz5929]

I wonder who's doing the Roger Ebert?

[@davidrule385]

Now this is how you deal with one of the last decade's most ever-hated movies, out of one of the most ever-loved cartoons in TV history, in the most funniest way. Even I could've done it better myself. In your face, M. Night Shyamalan!

[@andysolo54]

Thankyou for this

[@ErichoTTA]

If Ebert was arrival in 2020, he'd have better NOT given "Cuties" a good rating.

[@nikushim6665]

But its a M. Night Shyamalan movie, he's immune to Eberts power. Otherwise they would have stopped letting in him make movies decades ago.

[@kendallbellors6102]

Oh yeah Rodgers have powers in his dreamland he is the real avatar

[@ramell4]

If they put that much money into the movie, then maybe they should have made sure it didn't suck before it's release. I mean, you'd think that the kid actors involved would have at least tried to tell the producers that it was bad before it was released to theaters.

[@tgslayer4774]

This is so unrealistic. Roger would have to do a dance so he can use his powers.

[@theotakux5959]

No matter how bad the movie may have been, it's still far better than the cartoon.

[@alextheamazingkid7729]

HEY! this one is based of The horible 2008 movie

[@silverstrike5904]

Who's here after netflix

[@cameronmorris9868]

Technically it's an anime.

[@ljdi1]

So was Dragon Ball evolution, and people still considered Dragon Ball a cartoon

[@Cyberraptor14]

Im guessing Seth Green liked ATLAB, and was annoyed at the movie. Everyone was.

[@samflood5631]

Since when did the Fire Nation hire Caucasians in their army, some of them blonde?

Make something is hard, takes time and talent but cristic it is easy that's why everyone is a critic.

[@Thuazabi]

The movie represents everything wrong with Hollywood's ideas about cartoons that don't conform to the Disney or Western adult humor tropes. If you want to die on this hill, then go ahead, but there are plenty of movies out there more deserving of that defense.

[@Warcodered01]

it was especially easy to be a critic of this movie.

[@lizardguyNA]

To be fair, Shyamalan really shit himself on that one.

[@raisedonpopcornwithgrant9670]

this was the worst butchering of a classic cartoon since inspector gadget ebert’s review was way more entertaining especially when he says aang looked like a young wallace shawn

[@comicbookreviewer4856]

the way i look at Ebert and Siskel reviews much in the day i would say Ebert was a just and fair critic and saw potential in things well Siskel was more of a acquired taste when it came to movies and quick to put things down too quickly even disliking movies that put kids in danger even know that point in the plot builds the main hero or the parents going in to safe the kid and do the right thing

[@Warcodered01]

god that movie was fucking terrible.

[@sparkprisma3387]

I agree with the criticism, this movie sucks!

[@madeleinemcgregor2855]

In my opinion, I don’t think the movie is that bad. I actually love it. I think the cartoon is garbage (again, just my opinion, I’m not causing fan backlash) in its storytelling and personalities of the characters, but still nice to look at from time to time. For those of you who like the show and for those who don’t like the movie, I respect your opinion.
