I binged season 9 of Robot Chicken in it's entirety today. While it was overall an excellent season with a ton of clever parodies, I noticed that there was A LOT of suicide jokes. Why do they have to make fun of stuff like that? I just don't understand why the writers seem to think such a tragic thing is so damn hilarious.

For me, I only have three lines in regards to jokes that are in bad taste. The three things that comedians do that I absolutely hate are making fun of people with disabilities, Holocaust jokes, and suicide jokes. Robot Chicken crossed that last line over twenty different times this season.

Unlike most people who get offended by Robot Chicken, I don't give a shit if they "ruin my childhood" or not. They can make fun of my childhood cartoons and video games all they want and I won't bat an eye. As long as they don't cross those three lines, I'm completely fine with literally anything else they do to push boundaries.

I still really like the show (especially the superhero and horror parodies) but it really made me feel sick to my stomach to see them make fun of suicide so many times like that.

I hope season 10 does away with or at the very slows down on the suicide related gags.
