The ninth episode of season one of Robot Chicken is titled "S&M Present". This episode follows the same format as previous episodes, with a series of short sketches and parodies featuring stop-motion animated action figures and dolls.
The episode kicks off with a sketch that parodies the opening credits of the television series The OC. In the sketch, Seth and Summer are replaced with an elderly couple who struggle to climb the stairs to their house. As they make their way up the stairs, they are plagued by various health issues and obstacles, including a malfunctioning stair lift, a run-in with a gang of skateboarders, and a heart attack.
Next up is a sketch that features a group of college students who decide to start a Dungeons & Dragons club. However, their first session quickly descends into chaos when they realize that the Dungeon Master is not very good at improvising and keeps forgetting the rules. The group soon decides to abandon the game and go get drunk instead.
Another sketch in the episode parodies the classic film The Graduate. In the sketch, a young man named Benjamin is told to go into "plastics" by a middle-aged man. However, the man turns out to be a robot from the future, who has come back in time to ensure that the plastic industry flourishes. Things take a dark turn when the robot reveals that plastics are actually responsible for the extinction of the human race.
One of the standout sketches of the episode features the popular cartoon character Scooby Doo. In the sketch, Scooby and the gang are investigating a haunted mansion when they stumble upon a scary room filled with BDSM equipment. Shaggy and Velma then begin experimenting with the equipment, much to Scooby and Fred's horror.
Another memorable sketch of the episode features a parody of the classic board game Clue. In the sketch, the characters from the game come to life and are forced to solve a murder mystery in the mansion. However, things quickly go awry when Miss Scarlett is revealed to be a dominatrix, Colonel Mustard is a crossdresser, and Professor Plum is a cannibal.
The episode also features a sketch that parodies the popular children's show Sesame Street. In this sketch, Cookie Monster has become a drug addict and has started stealing money from his friends to fund his habit. When confronted about his addiction, Cookie Monster gets defensive and insists that he can quit anytime he wants.
Finally, the episode ends with a sketch that parodies the popular video game Grand Theft Auto. In the sketch, the player character is a young boy who is driving around the city in a stolen car. However, he quickly realizes that he is in over his head when a group of hookers he picks up turn out to be police officers in disguise.
Overall, "S&M Present" is a hilarious and irreverent episode of Robot Chicken that is sure to appeal to fans of the show's unique brand of humor. With its clever parodies and absurd sketches, this episode is a great introduction to the world of Robot Chicken for anyone who hasn't yet experienced the show's zany brand of comedy.
