- Alternate Character Interpretation: The Biker aliens run a school in their home planet. They do everything to benefit their society. On weekends, they take their stress out on Earth.
- Crossover: Jenny is often drawn with/as Hatsune Miku, due to both characters being virtual and wearing teal pigtails and short skirts.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: As said below, Sheldon rescuing Jenny, even after she said that she didn't like him.
- Crowning Moment of Funny: "But I am the ro-bot!"
- Ear Worm: "Oh, Happy Noontime Funtime Song! We love to sing it all day long..."
- "This is the song that goes on forever 'cause it doesn't ever end, and we will finish singing it never 'cause here we go again"
- "But-but-I-AM-the ro-bot!"
- "Ah-mikimikimikimikimomooooooooo!"
- Ensemble Darkhorse: Vega (The Special), Misty (3 episodes), and Melody (2 episodes) have gotten a huge amount of fan art, despite appearing in those amount of episodes.
- You will ALL bow down before KILLGORE!
- Armageddroid is rather popular as well.
- Fan-Preferred Couple: Brad/Jenny, compared to the one-sided and eventually-would-have-been-canon Sheldon/Jenny.
- Fountain of Memes: The quotes recycled for What What in the Robot are quotable, especially the ones that originated from Last Action Zero.
- Friendly Fandoms: With other Nicktoons, natch. Also has some overlap with the mecha anime fandom, mostly because of a large amount of robots in the main cast as protagonists or villains and the artstyle being a throwback to, among other things, illustrations for pulp sci-fi novels of the 30s and 40s.
- Genius Bonus: In one episode, Jenny finally gets a date with a boy who has a fear of technology. The movie they choose to see? Modern Times.
- Less Cruel In Hindsight: During Brit and Tiff's treatment of Jenny they acknowledge her as female.
- Les Yay: Jenny and Vexus' daughter Vega in the finale. Also Jenny and Misty.
- Memetic Molester: The Crater Critters from "Last Action Zero" are seen as this because of Zone-Tan's infamous porn parody What What in the Robot, where they rape Jenny.
- Moe: Jenny, whose insecurities and innocence can be quite endearing.
- Self Fanservice: Fanart of the show frequently depicts Jenny as really, really curvaceous, while in the show she doesn't have a particularly pronounced figure (because of the artstyle). Rob Renzetti himself has notably been onboard with this, saying Jenny depicted as "being sexy" in fanart is very much A-OK, while porn of her isn't.
- Too Good to Last (Like Arrested Development and Joan of Arcadia released in the same year, the show didn't last very long despite being labeled as "one of the best shows of 2003").
- The Woobie: Sheldon Lee near the end of "Attack of the 5 1/2 foot Geek". Even if you think he's creepy, you couldn't help but feel sorry for him when Jenny starts listing off every reason she doesn't like him when he's right in front of her. And he proceeds to save her anyway, only to go home and cry all by himself.
- Also happens a bit with Jenny as well. The best example is the Christmas Episode, where she's kidnapped by Todd Sweeney, a child who seeks revenge against all holidays (and who himself is a woobie, because it's due to parental neglect); she wakes up a year later to find that the entire city has turned against her - including her own mother - because of things she did against her will. The only one willing to support her against Todd? Sheldon. And Jenny is sure to reward him in the end.
- What's probably worse is in "Escape from Cluster Prime" where everyone in Tremorton gangs up on her for destroying the town on the anniversary of its founding after she fails to save it, saying they'd be better off without her "troublemaking" all while blatantly disregarding the fact that she's the only actual superhero they have available, which understandably makes her very bitter. This later bites everyone in the ass in an oh so glorious fashion: the Cluster invades and Jenny goes missing, and everyone suddenly finds they could use Jenny's help around this time. Jenny eventually returns in time to stop the invasion and gets the appreciation she deserves, despite there being more collateral damage.
