Robotboy: Difference between revisions

* [[A Real Man Is a Killer]]: Subverted in "Kamispazi!" when Donnie gives his mom a cooked squirrel with his dad saying that he trapped and skinned it by himself...but then reveals it was actually roadkill.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: In "Constantine Rising"

'''Gus:''' Or chocolate-covered butterballs. ''(Lola looks at him funny)'' What? It could be. }}

** 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.]]

** 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"

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: In "Kami-Chameleon", Gus shows Chupika to Tommy, his new virtual pet. Later, Tommy uses Chupika to charge Robotboy when his batteries fall out.

* [[Closer to Earth]]: Lola, especially in "The Return of Robotgirl" when she is able to help Robotgirl where Tommy, Gus and Robotboy failed.

* [[Creepy Monotone]]: This is how Protoboy talks.

* [[Cute Machines]]

* [[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.

* [[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.

*** Or [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs|Mega-Astro-Man]]...

** Protoboy is pretty much Proto Man, but with Bass's coloration and personality.

** 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".

* [[FemBot]]: Despite her name, Robotgirl fits more into this category than [[Robot Girl|this]].

* [[Forbidden Fruit]]: Gus's [[Freudian Excuse]] for his obsession with video games and other electronic toys is that his parents are [[Acceptable Religious Targets|Amish]] and [[Against My Religion|forbid such things]].

* [[Four-Fingered Hands]]

* [[Genki Girl]]: Robotgirl. Subverted in "The Return of Robotgirl" when she is shown to be very sad and doesn't trust Tommy, Gus or even Robotboy due to choppy memory loss.

''(Robotgirl tries to punch Robotboy but misses and hits Gus instead)'' }}

* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: In "The Old Switcharobot"

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]

* [[Karma Houdini]]: Donnie. This is lampshaded by Tommy in a few episodes.

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: Robotboy in "Rowho?"

* [[Leitmotif]]: Kamikazi has his own.

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Lola even wears her blue dress when she goes to bed. The only time she's ever been seen wearing a completely different outfit is when she went ''bowling'', oddly enough.

* [[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.

* [[Magic Pants]]: Lola's dress, in the episode "Gus' Mix".

* [[May-December Romance]]: Moshimo is much older than his fiancée.

* [[Nightmare Sequence]]: Donnie has a pretty long one in "Donnie Turnbull's Day Off" that involves fish medicine, his mom, and Robotboy's bed.

* [[Nobody Calls Me Chicken]]

'''Robotboy:''' Robotboy no afraid! }}

* [[Obliviously Evil]]: Robotboy pulls this off in "Clammadon Rising" and "Grow No-Mo!"

** And then there was the quick shot in Traffic Slam where they didn't show her panties, if you know what I mean.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Robotboy puts on a jacket with a giant hood to conceal his ear drums in "Kami-Chameleon" pretending to be a student. Tommy is not amused.

'''Robotboy:''' No-o-o! Robotboy like school! }}

* [[Scarecrow Solution]]: Used very briefly when Gus pretends to be another Moshimo robot in "The Return of Robotgirl" to distract Protoboy, but it only works for a few seconds.

* [[Secret Keeper]]: Tommy, Gus and Lola

** Gus's virtual pet in "Kami-Chameleon", [[Pokémon|Chupika,]] looks a lot like a [[Tamagotchi]].

* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''The Human Fist.''

* [[Stock Footage]]: Robotboy's transformation sequence.

* [[Stop Copying Me]]: Utilized in "Donnie Turnbull's Day Off" when Robotboy pretends to be an ordinary toy around Donnie when Tommy is out of the house.

''(Donnie hits Robotboy and is met with a punch to the face)'' }}

* [[Ted Baxter]]: Gus -- an example would be when he tries to show Robotboy how to win a girl over and ends up making Robotgirl cry.

* [[Temporary Bulk Change]]: A side-effect of the tapeworm living in Gus's stomach in "Tummy Trouble". Of course, [[Status Quo Is God|Gus becomes his normal fat self again at the end.]]

* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Robotboy, Robotgirl and Protoboy all get a pretty awesome one.

* [[Troll]]: The function of the Teasebots in "Teasebots".

''"You're so ugly, when you walk by a toilet, it flushes! Thank you very much!"'' }}

* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Applies more to Moshimo and his fiancée than to Tommy's parents.

* [[Vomit Discretion Shot]]: Gus in "Traffic Slam", Tommy's mom in "Kamispazi!", and, bizarrely enough, ''[[Fridge Logic|Robotboy]]'' in "Gus's Big Mouth".

* [[What Does He See in Her|What Does Tommy See In Bambi?]]: Seriously, look at [[Kick the Dog|how she treated him]] at the beginning of "Crying Time"! One scene later, Robotboy says what we're all thinking:

* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: Kurt in the soccer episode gives Lola a ''rough'' bodycheck.

** In "The Return of Robotgirl", Protoboy kicks Robotgirl in the chest/stomach hard enough to knock her batteries out.

* [[Wouldn't Hurt a Child]]: Averted in "Traffic Slam" when Tommy's mom [[Disproportionate Retribution|kicks Lola in the face]] [[Refuge in Audacity|for trying to take her cookies]].
