robot who says all science fiction

and gloom Glenn’s bleeding to death
someone wipe and shoulder robots rip
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
sci-fi comedy TV shows for this list
we’re taking a look at the TV shows that
flawlessly blend elements of science
fiction with humor it is now clear to me
that this calls for stronger methods of
persuasion gun number 10 Invader Zim
oh it can’t be
it’s not hugely surprising that this
dark cartoon lasted only a few dozen
episodes it was deranged disgusting and
disturbing but it was also hilarious
inventive and did we mention hilarious
what about his horrible green head
excited full boy it’s the skin condition
invader zim is one of several shows on
this list about an alien living on earth
what’s interesting about Zim though is
he’s the one protagonist here who’s
technically a villain who wants to
enslave mankind
despite his devilish nature the audience
actually kind of wants him to fulfill
his dream of becoming a great invader
and the ride is riotous everyone
remember last Christmas when you thought
that escaped gorilla with Santa
he wasn’t number 9 the Jetsons nothing
to stand up and scream about after
hanna-barbera provided a humorous take
on the prehistoric lifestyle with the
Flintstones it’s unbelievable but true
it was only natural for them to produce
an animated sitcom that observed the
future in the same comedic light I might
as well relax I’ll keep this up for a
couple hours or so set in the Space Age
of 2062 the Jetsons used animation to
its full advantage to create a
futuristic environment occupied by
memorable characters and innovative
technology I pitch this change for meals
and HiFi music comes out of the garbage
disposal I never know what’s going to
come out
actually some of the technology like
flat-screen TVs and video phones would
one day become a reality
mother I was just going to call you
although scientists still haven’t
perfected flying cars that transform
into briefcases
number eight Mystery Science Theater
3000 I have a giant q-tip rosary like
these some B movies have held up better
than expected others are just as painful
to watch today as they were several
decades ago her lady would you shut up
launched into space by the devious
doctors Clayton Forrester and Laurence
Earhart Joel Robinson and his robot
buddies are forced to endure these
horrible movies on a spaceship
fortunately they all have a great sense
of humor and a knack for mocking the
ridiculous which they do for our benefit
I don’t know I’ll get the door thank you
bye dresses do it whoa Mystery Science
Theater 3000 was truly ahead of its time
paving the way for other critics to make
fun of movies scene by scene on the
Internet
okay what about the film didn’t you like
then we just saw earth versus sue what
was it about you didn’t like or didn’t
care for say the plot or yes Gary the
plot number seven Dexter’s Laboratory Oh
Dexter
a mixture parallel even if you didn’t
like science growing up
chances are you dreamed of having a
secret laboratory in your bedroom that’s
probably because you watched Dexter’s
Laboratory an animated series that
followed the adventures of a diminutive
boy genius who somehow managed to fit a
humongous lab behind a bookshelf in his
parents house this better be important
woman you are interrupting my very
delicate calculations the setting made
for a number of imaginative and comedic
situations involving the egotistical
Dexter bumping heads with his
well-meaning but foolishly destructive
sister dee dee or even worse Mandark
please sir call me Mandark scientific
hilarity ensues
Jojo baby
Dexter Dexter number six
hyper drive equipment enjoy c’mon what I
went to the toilet you with Aegis Nick
Frost might never land a part in a Star
Trek movie alongside his pal Simon Pegg
but at least he’ll always have
hyperdrive you’ll be brilliant
Nimoy so much this BBC comedy is
essentially a workplace sitcom instead
of an office though the workplace is a
British spacecraft set in the early 2050
we all the glish before we proceed may
we lick your hands oh oh there’s nothing
sexual in this taste is our most highly
developed sense when we meet a new
friend we always taste the frost shines
as commander Henderson a bumbling leader
reminiscent of a dumpier Captain Kirk
that’s right across the significance of
your highbrow back mate mother have you
ever done it with two women at once huh
bolstered by its performances and wit
hyperdrive works wonderfully as both a
satire of science fiction television as
well as a loving homage come on Michael
goodbye you can’t just go around saying
nice things to girls because you want
them to kill you have to mean it just
drink your orders for once so I don’t
want to yeah yeah you should Norton just
shoot me you cow
number five Alf will you have a visitor
one of the weirdest shows of the 80s and
that’s saying something I’ve told the
story of a wisecracking alien who landed
on earth talks Teddy a cherry and it
talks
now how about fixing my spaceship so I
can get my heavy hairy body out of here
but unlike many earthbound pop-culture
aliens this one wouldn’t hurt a fly
although he might eat your cat snack
look what kind of a snack you got a cat
you eat cats you cantí lucky no no cat
eating not in this house the stranded
extraterrestrial is hunted by the
government and taken in by the loving
Tanner family yeah well you have a
sundry outfit please you got it
but unlike most domesticated alien
sitcoms Alf isn’t merely an alien who
looks like a human he’s a little hairy
puppet oh you’re a rug Brett but very
user friendly are you the unique title
character made Alf a defining show of
the era
you mean that later spawning a cartoon
prequel series talk show and pogs well
look I got some cool pogs Alf pogs
remember al he’s back in pod four number
four Mork and Mindy what an interesting
position to be in
I tip my grip laughter you sir do down
when an orchid named Mork crossed paths
with the Cunningham family it was the
strangest thing to happen on happy days
since Fonzie jumped the shark no kiddin
is it a character this bizarre simply
had to inspire a spin-off in a role he
was born to play Robin Williams
portrayed Mork as a hyper alien studying
human behavior oh thanks a lot for
walking me home father I’m afraid I
hardly give you a chance to talk but I’m
just so mad you know what I mean Nanette
my pleasure I was sent here to learn you
know assisting Mork was the human Mindy
a perfect comedic foil and love interest
for the overexcited extra-terrestrial
you really are from out there
no actually I’m from out there cute and
wacky Mork and Mindy is a one-of-a-kind
show strengthened by its unparalleled
performances improv moments and witty
observations of humanity amazing if
everyone’s different
how can a society function and not very
well they almost locked me up because I
thought my mind was imperfect hmm
intelligent life number three
Futurama what the huh from the mind of
Simpsons creator Matt Groening Futurama
utilized the technique of animation to
parody everything sci-fi oriented from
Star Trek to The Twilight Zone you’re
entering the vicinity of an area
adjacent to a location the kind of place
where there might be a monster
some kind of weird mirror these are just
examples it could also be something much
better prepare to enter the scary door
at the time the reference is zoom by so
fast you need to watch each episode
twice to catch them all the show also
tackles many relevant modern topics like
gas prices and iPhones with the new
iPhone you can watch listen ignore your
friends stalk your ex download
on a crowded bus even check your email
while getting it by a train
best of all feature AMA provides
timeless characters to execute such
satire including the childlike FRA the
asinine alcoholic robot bender why would
a robot need to drink I don’t need to
drink I can quit any time I want
and be incompetently hilarious dr. John
Zoidberg I’m not on trial here number 2
red dwarf this must seem pretty spooky
for everyone but I don’t want you to
think of me as someone who’s dead more
than someone who’s no longer a threat
your marriages this enduring British
series takes place on a mining spaceship
where the last known human resides is
that a cigarette you’re smoking this
time no it’s chicken sadly for Humanity
that legendary human is Dave Lister a
slob who embodies the human race at its
messiest stupid anyway all this
maintenance business the only reason
don’t give this job to the service
robots is they’ve got a better Union the
news Lister isn’t alone though with a
hologram of his tightly wound bunk mate
an involved cat creature and a few
others along for the ride Red Dwarf is
all about great character interactions
but also works in plenty of creative
sci-fi scenarios it’s about the closest
any shows come to recreating Star Trek
with a comedic edge oh my girls viewed
microsurgery all part of basic training

go scrub up I’ll go throw up before we
