History WesternAnimation / Robotboy

* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Tommy has the hots for Bambi. Bambi doesn't reciprocate...or care, really.

%%* AlphaBitch: Bambi, full stop.
%%* AnimalsHateHim: Kamikazi. Dear God.

** Salvatorei (or however you spell its name), Kamikazi's [[RodentsOfUnusualSize supersized gerbil,]] in "Teasebots".

%%* BigFancyHouse: Lola lives in one.

%%* CainAndAbel: Protoboy is the Cain to Robotboy's Abel.

%%* HartmanHips:
%%** Tommy's mom. Her hips got even wider in season 2.
%%** The PE teacher also has them.

%%* ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin: Tommy's mom's reaction to the cookies Dr. Kamikazi sold her in "Traffic Slam".

** Donnie more so. There nothing likable about him. The guy has no redeeming traits and consistently treats Tommy like a chew toy and even tried to murder him by shoving him into a woodchipper- the same woodchipper he was using to destroy Tommy's toys!

%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gus does care about his friends despite how obnoxious he is.

%%* LatexPerfection:
%%** In one episode Constantine is able to squeeze into a flawless Mrs. Turnbull disguise.

%%* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Robotboy and Robotgirl.

* PsychicPowers: Robotboy's probability calculator in "The Soothsayer".

%%* SleepModeSize: Robotboy's deactivated form.

%%* SmugSnake: Bjorn, Kamikazi,

** Walter the (apparently male) tapeworm from "Tummy Trouble" inverts this with pink coloration, eyelashes and a high voice.

%%* ThreeAmigos: Tommy, Gus and Lola. Somehow. Somewhat.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: Gus is selfish, self-centered, greedy, vain, egotistical, rude and disgusting with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Yet he is Tommy's best friend, despite the boys willingness to take advantage of the young hero whenever possible, and its never explained why that is.

* PantyShot:
** Several girls in "The Donnienator" have their panties exposed when Donnie hangs several kids on flagpoles by their underwear.
** The quick shot in Traffic Slam where they didn't show Lola's panties, [[GoingCommando if you know what I mean.]] In a scene afterwards she has panties on.
** And for a more obscure upskirt, there was a brief shot of Lola's panties revealed on a [[Advertising/CNCity Cartoon Network 'City']] bumper of her throwing balls at a water dunk tank.

%%* CreepyMonotone: This is how Protoboy talks.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: In "Constantine Rising".

** Gus's virtual pet in "Kami-Chameleon", [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Chupika,]] looks a lot like a VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}.

%%* BaldWoman: Bambi's mom in "Runaway Robot!"

** Kamikazi, who threatens to do... "Well, [[NeverSayDie I can't actually say it]], but it's very evil!"

The eponymous protagonist is the latest creation of the world-renowned scientist [[BigGood Professor Moshimo]]. Due to fears that Robotboy would fall into the hands of his arch-rival [[Dr. Kamikazi BigBad]] and his main henchman, Constantine, to be used as [[TakeOverTheWorld their token to world domination]], Professor Moshimo entrusts Robotboy to 10-year-old Tommy Turnbull, his biggest fan. While being protected by Tommy and his two friends, Lola and Gus, or "G-man" as he calls himself, Robotboy learns how to behave and act as if he were a real boy.

* DemotedToExtra: Donnie Turnbull rarely appears in Season 4.

* LoveTriangle: [[BettyAndVeronica Lola loves Tommy, who loves Bambi]] (who dates [[JerkJock Kurt]]). The whole thing was toned down considerably in the third and fourth season, mind you.

* PinocchioSyndrome: Robotboy wanting to become more human is a recurring theme, especially in seasons three and four.

!!This show provides examples of:

* WhatDoesHeSeeInHer: Seriously, look at [[KickTheDog how Bambi treated Tommy]] at the beginning of "Crying Time"! One scene later, Robotboy says what we're all thinking:

%%** The titular monster from "Clammadon Rising".

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The final scene in the Christmas episode has been redone for some foreign dubs to change the prank gift Gus recieves from Santa: in the original version he gets a fart in a box, in the redone version an apple core.

* DisappearedDad: Bambi's father is never shown.

* ObliviousToLove: Tommy never gets the hint that Lola has a crush on him, despite the fact thay the latter isn't very subtle about it.

* LosingYourHead: Inverted in "Stuck On You", where Klaus von Afoncügel steals Robotboy's body parts and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments leaves him with just a head.]]

* KarmaHoudini: Donnie always gets away with bullying Tommy. This is lampshaded by Tommy in a few episodes.

%%* KarmaHoudini: Donnie. This is lampshaded by Tommy in a few episodes.

%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Robotboy in "Rowho?" Somehow, by using batteries that Kamikazi secretly left, Robotboy loses his memory.

%%* ObliviousToLove: Tommy never gets the hint that Lola has a crush on him.

%%* PintsizedPowerhouse: Robotboy and Robotgirl. Averted with Protoboy, since he's a little bigger than both of them.

%%* SecretKeeper: Tommy, Gus and Lola: they all keep the secret of Robotboy's nature. Well, Tommy and Lola try. Gus often shows no intention of keeping Robotboy a secret.

%%* ShowWithinAShow: ''The Human Fist''

%%* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Poor Lola.

%%* ThirdPersonPerson: Moshimo's robots.

** Donnie Turnbull is basically an ugly thug that picks on everyone, when ever he meets his end it's satisfying for the viewer.

** Donnie actually calls Tommy one in "I Want That Toy!" but not with the same meaning. It's just a random insult. Donnie also gets some physical beatings from Robotboy.

* LoopholeAbuse: "Foot Brawl" has so many situations that the rules say nothing about - a monkey as the goalkeeper, a robot playing striker, a player switching teams halfway through, playing with five balls at once, ''beating up the ref, '''throwing a bowling ball at your opponent''''' - that it's probably safer to assume there are no loopholes to abuse because there are no rules in the first place.

* FakingTheDead: In "The Revenge of Protoboy" Gus gets Donnie to stop assaulting him with oranges by playing dead.

''Robotboy'' is an animated television series created by Jan Van Rijsselberge and Creator/CartoonNetwork Europe that ran from 2005 to 2008. Despite being a European co-production, the show aired in the United States as well.
