In Pollo’s defense, I hadn’t made the Robot Chicken connection either, and I’ve been watching this show for like, 5 years. Though that was pretty funny.

@@Heliophanus I think futurama already made that joke with the cat people. Though possibly? I would argue that eating anything too intelligent is amoral but if the human-like animals were as dumb as chickens I could see a lot of people eating them. Of course that brings into question if eating pigs is a problem because they are intelligent enough to be taught to play video games much better than any dog and we humans do look like pigs. We both look and taste like string-up hogs, that is why cannibals call human meat "long pig." So we do eat something pretty close to us. They use pigs for a lot of tests because our immune systems are so close you can just pop a pig organ directly into a human body. If this alien species look more humanoid that probably wouldn't stop us, all things considered.
Well it's not Doom Eternal, but there is a mod that kind of hits what you're looking for. Classic Doom has "The Adventures of Super Chicken and Wondeer" where you play as the aforementioned Super Chicken.
Seeing Spawn among the heroes fighting Poyo (and presumably lost) is giving me the mental image of Violator not living this one down for Spawn's eternity. - Violator: "Hey Spawn, remember that time when you lost against a chicken?" - Spawn: *Guns Mode*
I love Chew. But I LOVE Poyo. Between him and Battle Beast from "Invincible," IMAGE comics really had a monopoly on "comedically overpowered" side-characters for a bit.
Linkara is worried he mispronounced "Freeholdshire-Upon-Marsh" and then continues to pronounce "Regenbogen" (German for rainbow") as "Re-dschen-bougen" without batting an eye... I appreciate this unintentional comedy :)
That's something clickbait RUclips video say, in reality ALL birds are close to extinct dinosaurs (there isn't one that is closer than the others). Birds are themselfs scientically considered dinosaurs
xkcd 1211 did describe it beautifully. By any reasonable definition, T. Rex is more closely related to Sparrows than to Stegosaurus. Birds aren't descended from Dinosaurs, they ARE Dinosaurs. Which means the fastest animal alive today is a small carnivorous Dinosaur, Falco Peregrinus. It preys mainly on other Dinosaurs, which it strikes and kills in midair with its claws. This is a good world.
@@elpizo1789 Well naturally. Manga titles are always either entirely literal or a confused jumble of pseudo-English produced via an industrial grade cut-up machine. No middle ground there.
I remember one of the issues of chew had a Cameo from the main characters of FRINGE ( Olivia Dunham, Peter Bishop and Walter Bishop) they even had an Easter egg of a device that was marked "send to fringe division".
Like as in inner narration by Steve Blum or like what South Park does where they get a celebrity to just do animal noises? (Or like how Waddles in Gravity Falls was voiced by Niel deGgrasse Tyson)
As someone who has raised chickens for a while, this is pretty much how they are, yep. They're the destroyers of worlds, killers of humanity, hopeless masses of feathers and pain. AND I LOVE THEM, JUST LIKE I LOVE THIS! Chew doesn't seem like my thing, but hey, that was great. Also Pollo. Run before you become food, king, you can do it!
I've been watching your videos for years and I was shocked about the Pollo revelation. Which I'm guessing that thing on the front of his face is supposed to be a beak.
Doomguy does at least get some extra bits of characterization in both incarnations. In OG Doom, he refused orders to fire on civilians and was sent to Phobos on security detail as punishment, and in the 2016 game we see his compassion on display when he opts to backup Vega despite no prompting to do so. Also he fistbumps the action figures and that's adorable.
Hey Lewis, in the credits you asked about Chu's brother doing his rant apparently live. In the UK at least, they air cooking segments on early morning shows live, so maybe it was something like that.
It's always nice to see some more Pollo. Hope he manages his existential crisis OK. And I am glad that Pollo and Linkara brought up the possibility of why Linkara may have designed and named Pollo after a chicken since he likes it so much, since I was wondering the same throughout the review. XD
You know, I never made the Robot Chicken connection. I knew that Pollo was spanish for chicken and was always confused why Lewis named his robot friend that, though I always assumed it was an MST3K joke that I was missing.
Poor Pollo -- having an existential crisis because he only just realized his chickeny nature. *pats him* It's okay, buddy -- you're the best Robot Chicken. And yeah, I suspect this comic isn't for me (too much gross-out stuff, I'm sure), but that Poyo one-shot! Gotta love me a good Doom reference. :D
5:47 Personally my family has a history of heart problems (namely three of my grandparents including my grandfathers) so I am trying to mostly eat white meat so if I were in that world I'd either eat lots of turkey or if the avian flu got turkeys, tuna. Both which I thankfully like almost as much as chicken.
One thing I noticed about Poyo is that he knows how to make an entrance. And every time he does, an elaborate word box appears with his name in it. And I pretty much assume it is the equivalent of having a mariachi band playing him in singing "🎶POYO!!!🎶"
1:53- Is this why Pollo became Mechakara in an alternate universe? Because he found out that he was a literal Robot Chicken? Is this why you didn't want to build him arms that actually work? I also love chicken, and I am eating a Burger King Original Chicken Sandwich while watching this. 6:48- 2009 was also the year of the swine flu.
1:19 came here expecting a Pollo joke and was not disappointed :D 30:38 Speaking of Mechakara, Has anyone seen him lately? It's getting very suspicious how he hasn't made an appearance since the 10th anniversary...
Now I want to see a Death Battle between Poyo the Chicken and the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python and the holy Grail. Also no comment on the weird realistic photos of people and scenes from movies scattered throughout the backgrounds of some pages? I'm pretty sure I saw a photo-realistic picture of Bin Laden next to Satan's throne and a screen-cap of Rose and Jack in Titanic doing the "I'm flying!~" thing on the director's desk. Also-also...when are we gonna follow up on what Mechakara has been up to after the "Linkara Clone Saga" thing?
You know, maybe instead of Poyo Linkara should rename him to Kitten cause he seriously reminds me of Kitten from TTS. All that's missing is the Gold armor, the crossbow he never lets go of and having to juggle between a giant insane skeleton God-like thing and a Red Demon Nerd with massive daddy issues.
@@jordanhunter3375 Also known as If The Emperor Had A Text-To-Speech Device, it's a RUclips fanfiction series made by a guy named Bruva Alfabusa set in the Warhammer 40k universe. I highly recommend looking it up sometime because it is one of the funniest and most well-written things I have ever seen, period.
Yeah, but if Pollo HAD a Paradox-Billiards-Vostroyan-Roulette-Fourth-Dimensional-Hypercube-Chess-Strip Poker deck, what would he run? ...my guess? Machina Fortress Turbo. Or Mega Ultra Chicken.
Haha! mate, I've been watching your show more or less for the last 10 years, and i had no idea it was POLLO, I always thought it was POYO like the comic! he really is a robot chicken xD
As someone who’s lived in England my whole life and knows how place names work, I’d wager you nailed the pronunciation of Freeholdshire On Marsh. However, since it’s a fictional town that seems to exist in part for the purpose of satirising English place names, the Chew writers could have intended for it to have a much sillier pronunciation - who the heck knows?
25:12 Oh so that’s what its called. I just call it “that thing Weather Report from Jojo can do… no, the frog rain, not the rainbows that transform you into snails.”
The way I'd like to see this (in my head)...is that Poyo or Pollo eventually grows up to be the Hyperchicken lawyer from Futurama. NEITHER ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THE LAW, and both are chickens. IT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!
"I mean I never *~tasted~* fried robot" .... depends on how much salt and ketchup there is. Now I'm imagining an Alternate Linkara who is a universe hopping Pollo eater. *The Linkara Who CHEWS*
Writing robots with existential crisis can be fun. I'm doing that right now in a fanfic. (obscure book series and they're at least partially in denial that it's still ongoing) Also, looking forwards to Pollo's crisis coming up again later in a mainline story segment (even if it's just an offhand remark) lol
Okay three things: 1.) I've been spelling Pollo's name wrong all this time in all my comments and in that fanfic I wrote that look at what you and you're crew we're up to in 2023 during the Future's End Review. That is very embarrassing. 2.) So basically, Chew's power is a variation of the rare Jedi/Sith Force Ability Psychometry, the power to see the history of objects by touching them. And finally 3.) That's a nice looking old school small TV you got set up on that wall by that other room. And now I wonder what that room is used for, Pollo's recharging station, storage for equipment like Dr. Linksano's stuff, Moartie's coffin?
Linkara's admitting his love of chicken is such a mood. I'm close to living on chicken to the point that if I ever have fish for dinner it's a surprise to my family. If chicken was banned I too would starve to death. Or eat more fish, but mostly starve.
I thought that would skip this one due to some of the subject matter but, I am very happy that I got to watch it!!! I think that I might even buy some of the comics one day!!
Mechakara: (after getting around to watching this video) NO WONDER YOU STILL HANG OUT WITH THE FAT MEAT SACK! YOU'RE A VERSION OF ME THAT'S AS STUPID AS HIM!
Well, you are nothing like Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken’s red eye is rectangular! Also, I feel like the Poyo in this universe is more akin to the Punisher to the Cow Heroes’ Avengers, maybe even their Wolverine.
Because of the voice used for Savoy, I now imagine Poyo going to rescue all the chickens from that US 1 comic and kicking the Baron's arse...and I would love to see that brought to life.
The title makes me think Poyo (Linkara's robot partner) is gonna take over reviewing duties, if only for this episode 1:14 The obligatory joke 5:47 would be mine too. i love veal milanese chicken
I spent the first issue recap in a state of Deja Vu, then I realized it was because I had watched Casually Comics talk about that first issue in a video like a year ago
As much as Mechakara was evil. And badass. Now I can't help but sympathize. I watch every episode because Linkara's hysteria is hilarious. But I love the story bits more. ❤
In Pollo’s defense, I hadn’t made the Robot Chicken connection either, and I’ve been watching this show for like, 5 years. Though that was pretty funny.

Poyo being part Cucco would make some sense in explaining his badassery in this series.
Only 5% at most.
You know this is what led to Pollo to becoming Mechakara. This comic is responsible for the Terminator/Matrix Robot Apocalypse
It'd be funnily if this actually turned out to be the case. A patreon request influenced the canon backstory of one of the major villains.
That stinger, tho
'And possessing chicken meat is a federal offense.'

...When sufficiently aggravated.
....Ahhhhhhh I get it now
Poyo being part Cucco would explain a good chunk of his badassery.

Anyway, after 17 years, JUST realizing their own etymology and design, I think Pollo is a little slow on the uptake
Linkara is worried he mispronounced "Freeholdshire-Upon-Marsh" and then continues to pronounce "Regenbogen" (German for rainbow") as "Re-dschen-bougen" without batting an eye... I appreciate this unintentional comedy :)
FYI Regenbogen is also the Dutch word for rainbows.
Say it with me:"GO GO AGENT POYO! YOU MIGHTY CYBORG AGENT POYO!"
I'm with Pollo on this. Until stated otherwise the chicken-bot thing is mechakara's origin story in my head cannon.
I've heard that chickens are the closest living relatives to the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Pollo could take that as a compliment.
That's something clickbait RUclips video say, in reality ALL birds are close to extinct dinosaurs (there isn't one that is closer than the others). Birds are themselfs scientically considered dinosaurs

Don't worry, you're not the only one who has spelled Pollo's name wrong before - it's why I included the line about the different spellings. XD

Wow, did not expect this going in. That was awesome XD
Linkara's admitting his love of chicken is such a mood. I'm close to living on chicken to the point that if I ever have fish for dinner it's a surprise to my family. If chicken was banned I too would starve to death. Or eat more fish, but mostly starve.

Well, you are nothing like Robot Chicken. Robot Chicken’s red eye is rectangular!
Also, I feel like the Poyo in this universe is more akin to the Punisher to the Cow Heroes’ Avengers, maybe even their Wolverine.
Hell yeah! Was hoping you'd get to Chew eventually!
26:51 the directior is watching titanic apparently weird
Dang it, Linkara, ALWAYS intend your puns!
Interesting. I may have to look this comic up.
Just read it and it’s awesome. One of my favorite comics.
Because of the voice used for Savoy, I now imagine Poyo going to rescue all the chickens from that US 1 comic and kicking the Baron's arse...and I would love to see that brought to life.
...this is a GREAT episode to watch doing dinner.
The title makes me think Poyo (Linkara's robot partner) is gonna take over reviewing duties, if only for this episode
1:14 The obligatory joke 5:47 would be mine too. i love veal milanese chicken
I spent the first issue recap in a state of Deja Vu, then I realized it was because I had watched Casually Comics talk about that first issue in a video like a year ago
Stir-Fried Chicken with Tomatoes & Broccoli ... Thai Chicken Thigh Curry w/ Green Thai Eggplant ... Deep Fried Southern Chicken ... Chicken Pho w/Sprouts & Basil ... Chicken-flavored Ramen...
Yeah: chicken is probably my favorite, too, Linkara!
Oh man, Chew is awesome. This was my gateway into Image Comics.
22:38, That Michel Bay cameo.
Chew probably isn't the comic for me.
But "Genghis Condor" alone is a stroke of brilliance, regardless.
As much as Mechakara was evil. And badass. Now I can't help but sympathize. I watch every episode because Linkara's hysteria is hilarious. But I love the story bits more. ❤
