Chop Socky Chooks is a American-British-Canadian computer-animated series that ran on Cartoon Network from March 7, 2008 until January 31, 2010. produced by Aardman Animations, Decode Entertainment, DHX Media and Cartoon Network that debuted on 7 March 2008. It was created by animator Sergio Delfino, a prominent animator at Sony Pictures Imageworks. Reruns of the show currently air in Eastern Europe on Cartoon Network and on Teletoon, and previously aired in the USA on Cartoon Network. The name is from "chop socky," which is slang for the Asian martial arts film genre, and "chook", which is Australian and New Zealand slang for chicken.
Despite most of the characters being voiced by British actors and actresses, they have American accents. The same thing happens in Dude, That's My Ghost! and Robotboy.
The show is about a trio of kung fu fighting chickens who live and work in a city-sized shopping mall owned by their archenemy, Dr. Wasabi.
Bubba fixes Wasabi's TV satellite and is accidentally struck by some sort of powerful force. This force causes Bubba to become super smart and he uses his smarts to put the Wasabi World citizens in a zoo. It's up to the Chooks to find a way to stop Bubba's new evil plans.
Dr. Wasabi offers the mall-dwellers free trips to the moon, but the Chooks discover that it's part of his evil scheme to make them work as slaves in his space mine.
The Chooks compete in a wacky race against Wasabi World's most dangerous villains to prevent Dr. Wasabi from obtaining the components for a deadly Doomsday device.
Chick P wants Bubba to be the fourth member of the Chop Socky Chooks after Wasabi fires him for the Hairy Sumo Brothers. However, Bubba only seems to get in the way when it comes to fighting in battles.
