Line 16:
* [[Recycled Script]]: May as well be the [[Trope Codifier]].
* [[The Scrappy]]: Corporal Capeman.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The second season, which has a different film look to it, most of the action takes place around Gadget's neighborhood, many of the voices are much different and the plots...
** A bunch of mobsters who have retired to the old folks home try to recapture their past glory and take over the city...with a potato gun named Rose Red. [[Flat What|What.]]
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: Gadget is a pretty darn awesome superhero in concept, but he spends the entire series gleefully clutching the [[Idiot Ball]] and generally being useless. Alot of people say that Penny's a lot better a protagonist, and wish that she was the series' primary focus.
Line 25:
* [[Broken Base]]: And how! The fans are divided between those who despised the first film for not being close enough to the cartoons, those who hated the second film for not being enough like the first, people who hated both and prefer to stick to the cartoons, and the people who actually liked both films.
** That's not even taking onto consideration the people who liked either of the movies, but disliked the cartoons.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Apparently, the two years he served out of a life sentence, combined with the seizure of all his assets following his conviction of the murder of Dr. Artemus Bradford and attempted framing of Gadget for crimes committed by a pure robotic double he had set loose on Riverton, hardened Claw's heart further and fueled his desire for revenge against Gadget, to the point of actually trying to tempt Penny to his side by rubbing her uncle's refusal to take her seriously in her face and promising her he won't be like that ([[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|not that it works]]). This gets to the point where the second film may as well be titled ''Inspector Gadget 2: The Revenge of Dr. Claw''. He finally does get his revenge some time after the halfway point, using two of his minions and a controlling device to [[Turn in Your Badge|put Gadget out of the way]] so he could set forth his plan to rob the Federal Reserve empty and get his wealth back. [[Spanner in The Works|Of course, he didn't count on Gadget making a comeback to stop him]] [[Berserk Button|once G2 got deactivated for failing to stop his latest crime, where the currently disgraced Gadget was serving as a valet, shortly afterward]] [[Papa Wolf|and Penny got abducted while snooping around his hideout...]]
* [[Fridge Logic]]: Isn't the name "Robo-Gadget" kind of... redundant?
** Gadget's a cyborg, and [[Robo Gadget]]'s an android.
