Well his name was in the credits in this episode, so it probably was. There was another sketch spoofing Gone with the Wind where Van Damme was Red Butler.
Or Seth Green, since the show Robot Chicken is practically his mind-child.
Though much like Family Guy most of the parodies are a hit-or-miss deal.
I loved the Parappa parody for sure, hated the Donkey Kong one because of the Halo cameo (those who seen it know why) though the other Mario appearances are alright.
The Zelda one is arguably enraging to those that parade "the timeline" up and down. Sonic is just effin' funny though.
I think one of the better parodies in the entire show is when Lion-O becomes a little girl's pet kitty.
Thank you! I had NO idea there were others who felt the same way about this show that I did. I feel like a kid in an auditorium full of idiots, and everyone laughs at the poop joke, and I just slightly chuckle to not get made fun of, but in reality, I can't find it funny.
I love stuff like Tim & Eric, and even Family Guy (to an extent) but as someone above said, Robot Chicken is hit or miss. Sometimes it's OK, but most of the time it's stupid.
Oh brother. I'll be the first to complain about how stupid shows like...most anything on Adult Swim are, but this sketch was rather amusing. I was already expecting some sort of bad racist or "lol slavery" joke, but all they did was show how dangerous someone can be with a whip. That's not even close to "pushing the line."
Um, wow, that wasn't all the sketch showed at all. Maybe you should watch it again.
I just think if you are going to parody something, do it right. Tossing in foul language and silly violence and sexual references does not suddenly make something funny. A well-written script does. I prefer smart parodies/humor, like alot of Mel Brooks stuff. For the most part, anyway, he was not nearly as blatant as the popular 'humor' is today.

Modern extreme 'push the line' humor pales in comparison to the sly way parodies used to be done in TV shows.
I blame Family Guy. >_<
Burgers you can **** * ****
That was freaking hilarious!!!
You hit the tip! ROLF!
Oh, are we still doing this thing were we say that everything on TV sucks? Sorry, I thought that was over back in mid-2008.[/sarcasm]
Seriously, the only reason you thought that it sucked was because it was making fun of a video game >_>
The difference is that Family Guy's humor doesn't work in a sitcom like show- but for the skits they do on Robot Chicken it works very well.
Not OMG ROFLCOPTER funny, but still funny.
SOME PEOPLE WANT TO USE THESE FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN S&M, YOU KNOW.

Get some good taste people.
Or maybe you can get a sense of humor?
Would have been more awesome had they used the official Simon action figure I remember seeing in Nintendo Power a few years back.

Down with Seth Green!
I genuinely laughed a the "Do you know how loud that is?!" comment.
I just liked the way it was said.
I have a sense of humor which is why I don't find this show funny.
Down with Seth Green? really? the whole "let's hate on people cause they're famous" thing is so 1993.
Next thing you know you'll be hating on gaming companies that try to bring in new gamers by claiming they're sellou.. oh wait.

All the trolls in the house say YEAAAAH!
Seriously, people like different stuff, go away.
