[[I Got a Rocket]] is an [[Emmy Award]] winning kids tv show airing on Kabillion. Simply put, like [[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]] was [[The Same but More]] about how [[SpongebobSpongeBob SquarePants]] was [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?|made on drugs]], this series has quite a [[The Fairly Odd ParentsOddParents]]-esque feeling, only it's... weirder.
 
On his thirteenth birthday, teenager Vinnie Q gets the best present ever- a live, talking robot! He and his [[Name's the Same|new rocket, called Rocket]] become best buds and embark on a number of crazy schemes along with Vinnie's two other friends Gabby and Rainbow. Together they form the July Club as all three kids were born in July. However trouble comes in the form of the three school bullies-known as The Duckies- who would do anything to get Rocket for themselves and are always happy to give Vinnie a wedgie.
 
{{tropelist}}
=== Tropes include: ===
* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Frankie Duckie has a crush on Vincent to his dismay.
* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: It was originally a 24 page long children's book by Matthew Zurbo, which was very different from the show in many ways.
Line 14:
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|EverythingsBetterWithPirates]]
* [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: It seems Crystal got the "science gene" from her dad, not Vinnie. But Professor Q hardly notices this and spends most of his time with Vinnie.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: this series is a joint between Taffy (Moonscoop), [[Code Lyoko (Animation)/Radar|which gave us]] ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', and [[Nickelodeon]]. This trope is ''a given.''
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Vincent's Italian VA is ''freaking [[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Ash Ketchum]]''. Which makes the fact that ''his sidekick'' is called Rocket [[Hilarious in Hindsight|a lot funnier]].
* [[Hippie Teacher]]: Vice-Principal Stern. This makes him the [[Butt Monkey]] for several of the show's gags.
* [[Idiot Hero]]
Line 26:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Frankie Duckie has a voice that grates the ears.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Gabby and Crystal.
* [[Power Trio]]
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]: [[Invoked Trope|invoked]] in an episode, where the most [[Nausea Fuel|disgu]][[Squick|sting]] and vulgar student would get a free vacation on a luxury cruiser, where he/she would be taught good manners. [[Idiot Plot|Obviously,]] [[Hilarity Ensues|Vincent only hears about the "luxury cruiser" part.]]
* [[Tsundere]]: Frankie Duckie.
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
* [[Zany Scheme|WackyHijinx]]
* [[Warped Aesop]]: Forms the majority of every episode. For example:
{{quote| '''[[The Professor|ProfessorQ:]]''' "Don't you want to be popular, Vinnie? Being intelligent makes you popular, don't you want to have friends?"<br />
'''Vinnie and Rocket:''' [Pause.] [''Burst out laughing''] "Oh good one Dad! Everybody knows that being smart doesn't make you popular. It makes you a geeky-nofriendshaving-lame-oh." }}
* [[Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?]]: Ma Duckie seems to work wherever she can spoil her kids and inconvenience Vinnie.
