Cue Random Madcap Facepalming

Over at Electronic Arts's Maxis development group, final spit and polish is being applied to features like exploding poop and armed librarians.

The creators of Adult Swim's random-wtf'ery claymation skit show, Robot Chicken, have worked with EA to produce a new mission pack for Spore's Galactic Adventures expansion.   It will be released as downloadable content on June 23.

If you've never seen Robot Chicken, it's what South Park would be like after two years of electroshock therapy.

Robot Chicken co-creators Seth Green and Matt Senreich weighed in about the mission pack.  “We’re big fans of Spore, so teaming up on Spore Galactic Adventures was a natural fit and so much fun for all the guys at Robot Chicken,” said Seth Green.  Readers  might know Green better as Bud Bundy from Married with Children or as Scott Evil from the Austin Powers movies.

His partner Matt Senreich said, "We think that RC fans will love the pretty random and absurd adventures we created and we can't wait to goof around with the ones the fans create."

Spore Galactic Adventures lets users create and share new quests, set in a whimsical, but dangerous, space adventure background.

A spokesman for the project said in the release:

“Our development team had a blast working with the guys and couldn’t stop laughing the entire time we were together. Their Adventures truly reflect the extent of their wild imaginations as well as how the in-game Adventure Creator tool can create almost any type of story imaginable. Players can only guess the level of absurdity and fun that are in these Adventures.”

I think the project's website says it better:
