You know what's weird? I actually loved Tom Goes to the Mayor, even though it's from those Tim and Eric boys. I'm not exactly sure why I loved Tom but hated their next show, but I think it breaks down to the complete lack of any semblence of a point in the latter. The first, there's an actual premise, a clear drive and such, but in the latter... It's just a bunch of nonsense anti-humor.
As for Robot Chicken, well... It's just a bunch of the exact same sketch, and that sketch is "remember 80's pop culture? Here's the 80's if they were college frat boys, and everyone involved is the worst possible sort of person we can imagine". There's a particular bit from that show I see often online with that spartan guy shouting "This isn't funny!" and then kicking over his TV. That's basically my thoughts any time I watch the show. Admittedly, I haven't watched a lot, so I might be missing a few things, but no, I don't want to see the tooth fairy gunned down. That's just... mean, for the sake of being mean it seems.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
