I REALLY hope they don't make fun of that tragedy where those two girls tried to "sacrifice their friend to Slenderman" by stabbing her 3 times in a row. That would probably offend me quite a bit. But considering Robot Chicken rarely ever makes fun of tragedies, I kinda doubt they would stoop that low (the Anne Frank skit from season one being the only possible exception, although I personally consider that to be an example of what TVTropes calls Early Installment Weirdness). Despite Robot Chicken being a very vulgar and gory show, it's nowhere near as offensive as Family Guy which is evident through the Cloverfield skit where they reference 9/11 in a surprisingly respectful way. Guess what? That Robot Chicken thing about Slender-Man aired tonight and it was nothing that I feared it would be. It was done in a very tasteful, clever way. You see, the only reason I was worried was because I'm a huge creepypasta fanboy and I don't want people to forever associate it with a tragedy. Thankfully Robot Chicken didn't even subtly acknowledge the Slender-Man stabbings in the sketch. The sketch was actually pretty good. Okay, "actually pretty good" is a series understatement. It was great! Plain and simple! It was one of the few Robot Chicken skits in a long time that made me laugh so hard, I almost fell off my bed from laughing. My sides still hurt from all the laughter and joy that clever creepypasta parody brought me. Considering Seth MacFarlane is a major part of Robot Chicken, I applaud them for resisting to mock a tragedy when they had they opportunity to it. This sketch may be the first "Seth" thing I've seen where he missed an opportunity to make a tasteless joke. I guess that shows how much the Robot Chicken writers love creepypasta. The one small problem I have with the sketch is that I may not be able to take Slender-Man (oh, sorry I mean "Slendy" as Robot Chicken calls him) seriously for quite a while now lol.
