* DidntThinkThisThrough: Some of the problems the duo face are caused by AP not thinking his actions through. For example, in "Atomic Detention", his impatience to leave school and fight crime is what leads to the escalating feud between Joey and Ms. Erlenmeyer that ends with the latter turning evil.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Some of the problems the duo face are caused by AP not thinking his actions through. For example, through:
** "These Shoes" -- AP warns Joey not to put batteries
in Lacer because the gadgets produced by the company that made it were always defective. Joey decides to do it anyways when AP is sleeping, so the next day, Joey and AP have a fight an evil A.I. bent on enslaving the human race because Joey didn't heed AP's warning.

** While the show was always an action-comedy hybrid, early episodes tended to focus more on the comedy aspect, with fewer fight scenes and moments of superheroism and more emphasis on the mishaps and gags that came out of Joey and AP's dynamic. While there certainly were action-oriented episodes early on (like "Justice Alliance", "Don't Track the Mudman", and "Sword Sisters"), they only became more common in the second half of the series, with the show also becoming more emotionally driven in a number of later episodes (like "Pinched Nerves" and "Worm Boy"). However, the show still did some comedy-driven episodes, like "Truce or Consequences" and "The Switch". Notably, this may have something to do with the fact that the writers apparently decided to throw away every idea they had out the window about halfway through production and start fresh, with it also having been confirmed that this new direction would have continued if the series had gotten a second season.

Although ''Atomic Puppet'' only has a very tiny fanbase, it has been very positively received by critics. In 2017, it was nominated for two Annie Awards, as well as a Reuben Award in 2016 for "Best Animated Series" (alongside Nickelodeon's smash hit ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' and the legendary classic that is ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''), while one reviewing journalist called it [[https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/tv/2017/02/07/have-you-seen-this-atomic-puppet-is-a-hoot-of-a-superhero-show/ "a hoot of a superhero show"]]. However, this did not save the series from being cancelled after only a single season due to [[ScrewedByTheNetwork low ratings and non-existent promotion]], although the show still managed to end with a bang in its two-part status quo-shaker "The Big Shift".
