Robot Chicken Intimates Aquaman Might Not Be So Super Out of Water
Oh, I tease my pals at Robot Chicken. As we’ve seen from the earlier trailer, they’re plenty of super-nerdy shit going down in the Robot Chicken DC special (which airs on Sunday night at midnight, by the way — don’t forget!) — I imagine Seth Green / the folks at Conan picked a clip that was more easily comprehensible by non-nerds to show on Conan on purpose. And while “Aquaman is pathetic” is a pretty standard nerd trope, making us think exactly about how he’d sexually pleasure a dolphin certainly takes it to the next level.
