Line 19:
'''Lola:''' Or a nuclear fusion missile.
'''Gus:''' Or chocolate-covered butterballs. ''(Lola looks at him funny)'' What? It could be. }}
* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]:
** The spider on Robotboy's flashlight in "The Return of Robotgirl" has four eyes instead of eight.
** The tapeworm situation in "Tummy Trouble" -- geez, where do we start? First, tapeworms are several feet long, not one inch. Secondly, tapeworms eat their food by diffusion and active transport, not with a mouth. Third, the doctor's scan near the beginning of the episode shows the tapeworm in Gus's stomach, not his intestines where it should be. Finally, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|having a tapeworm in your stomach does not make you super-thin in less than a few days.]]
* [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever]]: The titular monster from "Clammadon Rising".
** Robotboy's growth capacitor thingy makes him this in "Grow No-Mo!"
** Salvatorei (or however you spell its name), Kamikazi's [[Rodents of Unusual Size|supersized gerbil,]] in "Teasebots"
Line 48:
* [[Cute Mute]]: Miumiu, Moshimo's fiancée, but it's finally subverted at the end of "Grow No-Mo!"
* [[Cute Shotaro Boy]]: Tommy. Robotboy was also designed with this in mind.
* [[Did Mom Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: Subverted in the final episode, when the Turnbull family and the Kamikazi family end up having Thanksgiving dinner (or something resembling that) together after Tommy's mom drops by the house of Kamikazi's mom. Apparently, the two mothers knew each from before on.
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: Robotgirl.
* [[Epic Fail]]: In "The Old Switcharobot", Robotboy-in-Protoboy's-body Super-Activates and prepares to fight Protoboy-in-Robotboy's-body...and then his arm cannon falls out.
Line 59:
** Protoboy is pretty much Proto Man, but with Bass's coloration and personality.
** Tommy looks awfully similar to Mac from [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]].
*** His name isn't [[The Fairly
** Gil from the electronics store is [[Napoleon Dynamite]].
* [[Face Palm]]: Protoboy's reaction to Robotboy stopping Robotgirl from making a [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in "The Return of Robotgirl".
Line 88:
* [[Lantern Jaw of Justice]]: Tommy's dad, Kurt's dad, and Constantine all have one.
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Robotboy in "Rowho?"
* [[Last-Name Basis]]:
{{quote|'''Kurt:''' Hey, Turnbull. Who told you you could breathe my air? Get him, guys!}}
* [[Leitmotif]]: Kamikazi has his own.
Line 98:
* [[Losing Your Head]]: Inverted in "Stuck On You", where Klaus von Afoncügel steals Robotboy's body parts and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|leaves him with just a head.]]
* [[Love Triangle]]: [[Betty and Veronica|Lola loves Tommy, who loves Bambi]] (who dates [[Jerk Jock|Kurt]]). The whole thing was toned down considerably in the third and fourth season, mind you.
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Kamikazi again
* [[Magic Pants]]: Lola's dress, in the episode "Gus' Mix".
* [[May-December Romance]]: Moshimo is much older than his fiancée.
Line 120:
{{quote|'''Tommy:''' Robotboy, what are you doing here? I told you to go home.
'''Robotboy:''' No-o-o! Robotboy like school! }}
* [[Parental Favoritism]]: Tommy's dad obviously prefers Donnie.
* [[People Zoo]]: Auntie Gravitee's intergalactic freakshow. Apparently, Gus is the only human who's freaky enough to fit in there.
* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy]]: Robotboy and Robotgirl.
* [[Pinocchio Syndrome]]: Robotboy wanting to become more human is a recurring theme, especially in seasons three and four.
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: Robotboy and Robotgirl. Averted with Protoboy, since he's a little bigger than both of them.
* [[Psycho Prototype]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Protoboy]]. Even before Kamikazi made him evil, he was still one hell of a nutjob -- this is seen in a flashback when Moshimo first activated him and Protoboy's immediate reaction was to beat him up.
Line 136:
{{quote|'''Gus:''' Oops, busted.}}
* [[Secret Keeper]]: Tommy, Gus and Lola
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: "Good morning, class. I'm Kurt's father. You can call me...Kurt's father."
* [[Shout-Out]]: One episode is titled [[Journey to
** Gus's virtual pet in "Kami-Chameleon", [[Pokémon|Chupika,]] looks a lot like a [[Tamagotchi]].
* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''The Human Fist.''
Line 159:
'''Robotboy:''' Zip it, freak. Zip it, freak. Zip it, freak. Zip it, freak. Zip it --
''(Donnie hits Robotboy and is met with a punch to the face)'' }}
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: Played with. Tommy looks like his mom, but not his dad or Donnie -- and Donnie doesn't look like their dad either.
* [[Surveillance as the Plot Demands]]: Dr. Kamikazi is a master of this trope. He cameras even managed to tap into Tommy's ''dreams''...
* [[Talk to the Fist]]: Robotgirl punches Gus in the face at least three times in "The Return of Robotgirl".
