Our RoboCop Remake

One of the best random laughs I’ve had in the last few years was at a “Remember when RoboCop shot that dude in the dick” t-shirt, and this fever dream of a comedy collaboration is a kind of spiritual sibling of that shirt, especially since it really goes for broke in reimagining that particular moment. All of RoboCop’s 60 scenes are remade by different people, often sketch comedy troupes, and while they don’t all land, the wild variety on display—from lo-fi Flash animation to song-and-dance numbers to phantasmagorical performance art—makes it far more engaging than a more focused feature-length parody would have been. I don’t know how fun it would be to watch at home, but on a big screen with a game audience, it was a blast.
