Today was real fun.
Thing One is now
Hotter than the sun.

Thing Two is sad
He lost a close friend.
A pile of ashes
Mark his fiery end.

The supervillain carpool, for example, has to be one of the funniest sketches of the entire series.

Don't diss the Chicken. It's way more clever (most of the time) than this little comic strip. Ah, now. Don’t diss the Chicken. It’s way more clever (most of the time) than this little comic strip.

They do it with a bit more style than this, though. Terrible violence inflicted upon pop culture icons is pretty much the whole premise of Robot Chicken.

The comic is named "Pop Culture Shock Therapy", which would make the caption merely descriptive of the image: "Spontaneous Combustion in Pop Culture". That's not really all that funny either, though.
