12!! The SpinOff Comics for ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003''
13[[folder:A-Z]]
14* CompleteMonster: "The Agent", appearing in issue #19, is a demonic [[DealWithTheDevil deal]]-making entity from outside the mortal realm who seeks to ravage and [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the world]]. Choosing the delinquent Johnny Rancid as a stooge, the Agent turns Johnny into a rock star to use his {{necromancy}}-laden music to [[ZombieApocalypse unleash zombies]] throughout Jump City that nearly devour entire swathes of innocent people across the city. The Agent then hopes to broadcast Johnny's song across the country until the entire planet is overrun by raised undead who will kill and eat an innumerable number of victims and pave the way for the Agent to [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans assume control of the broken and diminished humanity]].
15* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[spoiler:Brion making sure Terra is safe and happy before letting her live her normal school life]].
16* {{Moe}}: Young Beast Boy changing into a frog for his "mother" Elastigirl at bedtime.
17* MoralEventHorizon: [[spoiler: Blackfire had committed a lot atrocities to her sister, but realizing she told Madame Rouge about their missing brother and impersonating him was the point where [[IHaveNoSon Starfire renounced her as family]].]]
18* UnexpectedCharacter:
19** Who would have thought [[spoiler:Batman would make a cameo, keeping an eye on Robin]]?
20** Rose Wilson, Slade's daughter, makes an appearance late in the comic series, which is quite a surprise considering how irrelevant Slade's family was to the cartoon.

23!!The [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo Animated Series]]
24
25[[folder: A-N]]
26* AccidentalAesop: As [[https://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/5596322.html?thread=165179810#cmt165179810 one thread]] in Scans Daily pointed, some viewed "The Return of Slade" as commentary on misguided attempts to reintroduce [[NostalgiaFilter famous products from the past]] with a darker tone to draw modern fans.
27* AccidentalInnuendo:
28** In "Artful Dodgers":
29-->'''Starfire:''' Perhaps this is the year you will let Raven and I participate in the dodging of the balls!
30** Starfire gives us these two gems in "Halloween":
31-->'''Starfire:''' My quoltrap has never quivered so violently!
32-->'''Starfire:''' I hope my quoltrap never stops quivering!
33** From "Meatball Party":
34*** While Raven is taking ''a bath'', all of the Titans have sneaked into the bathtub too ''including the boys''. Sure it wasn’t to perve on her, but she’s still a '''teenage girl completely naked with three boys in the bathtub watching her!''' They are unbelievably lucky Raven only got mildly annoyed and pulled a ScrewThisImOuttaHere rather than a very reasonable PervertRevengeMode.
35** And again when Robin puts a time limit on the other Titans' use of the bathroom in "Serious Business":
36-->'''Robin:''' Remember, five minutes! '''I WILL BE WATCHING.'''
37** "Riding the Dragon":
38-->'''The Titans:''' We're gonna ride that dragon!!! That dragon!!!
39* AlasPoorScrappy: Despite Robin having a huge amount of hate, many feel his punishment at times is a bit excessive and feel sorry for him, especially as the show seems to take particular glee in portraying him as a pathetic LoserProtagonist. Some fans also do not like how the other Titans seem all too willing to replace Robin as the leader, whether with another leader, or one of their own numbers committing mutiny. What legitimately helps his case, as is revealed in the "Flashback" two-parter, is that the other Titans were the ones responsible for driving him up the wall and turning him into such a massive JerkAss in the first place.
40* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
41** Is Silkie really as oblivious as he seems? Or was his perfect stealth take-down of what seems to be an entire criminal cartel the result of a keen strategic mind motivated by the love of a woman?
42** Is Beast Boy really a stupid, selfish jerk, or is he just a boy that needs some education to tap into his potential?
43** What about Robin? Does he really want to be a good hero, looking for what's best in the city? Or a murderous psychopath who only beats villains for fame and glory? Also, is he over-controlling his team because he's tired of being Batman's sidekick and he's afraid that someone on his team will take over (because they have powers)?
44** Raven. Do "Dreams" and "Campfire Stories" indicate she really wants to kill her friends? Or is she a tortured soul SurroundedByIdiots? Trigon implied that Raven actually used to be evil, but she later [[HeelFaceTurn grew out of it]].
45** Starfire. Why does [[NiceGuy she]] participate in the [[AdaptationalJerkass mean-spirited activities]] that her friends do? Is it because she doesn't know any better? Or is it to avoid getting picked on by her friends because she's nice? [[TakeAThirdOption Or]] is she actually a BitchInSheepsClothing whose niceness is only superficial?
46** Cyborg. He was meant to be the only guardian of the Tower and the only young adult member of the group. Consider how he acts more like a [[CloudCuckoolander drunken party animal]] when he is around his friend Beast Boy, while also considering his origins about him being unwanted as he is a cyborg who is vengeful towards his father who was an engineer specialized in mechanics. All these factors leave him as a borderline PsychopathicManchild who uses entertainment as an excuse to explain his somewhat immature personality and block his traumatic memories out of his database.
47** The Titans in general. Are they really heroes? Or are they just really power-hungry jerks who use the cover of being heroes as an excuse to get away with bullying villains who aren't even doing anything? Better yet: Are they ''villains'' who pretend to be heroes so they can get away with their criminal activity?
48** Kid Flash acting like a jerk towards Robin in "The Streak" when he was portrayed as a nice guy in "Multiple Streak Pony". Was he always a jerk and simply acting as a BitchInSheepsClothing? Or was he acting in retaliation to Robin screwing him over in his debut episode?
49** Blackfire. Was her more [[OmnicidalManiac villainous]] behavior in "Girls' Night In" compared to how she [[JerkassWoobie was]] in "Mr. Butt" a result of Blackfire resenting Starfire for [[HeelFaceDoorSlam rejecting]] her earnest attempt to change? Or was she over the experience by then and relapsed back into her sociopathic ways?
50** Also, are the Titans actively gunning for Robin's position [[Main/TheStarscream just for the sake of having the position?]] Are they tired of him abusing them? Or do they genuinely believe Robin is mentally unfit for leadership and are doing it for his own good?
51* AnimationBump: The animation upgrades from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'' were carried over into the series with the start of Season 5.
52* ArchivePanic: 289 episodes and one theatrical film as of August 2020.
53* SugarWiki/AwesomeArt:
54** "40% 40% 20%" was praised for its amazing art style, receiving the highest ratings of any episode so far. Even detractors of the show complimented the art of the episode.
55** Robin's brief ImagineSpot scene in "365!" of the Titans fighting Darkseid and a legion of parademons received praise for its designs of the team with a more mature style in the vein of the WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies.
56* BadassDecay: Most if not all the characters are, for comic book fans anyway, criminally incompetent:
57** Robin gets hit with this the hardest. In the original series, he was able to formulate a strategy to take down all of his teammates. Here? He was shown to be the weakest member of the team since he has no powers. Though this is mostly a case of DependingOnTheWriter as some episodes show that he is just as competent as he was in the original series.
58** Cyborg. "Ghost Boy" features a normal mountain lion mauling him to death. In the original series, and indeed several ''Go!'' episodes that aren't "Ghost Boy", he could withstand and rather handily beat up some of Beast Boy's stronger animal forms (e.g. in a fairly large, carnivorous dinosaur form, the BB clone Trigon created wasn't able to even scratch Cyborg's armor).
59** In the episode "In and Out", Mammoth, of all people, suffers this. Previous episodes established him as TheJuggernaut, but this episode turns him into a weeping ButtMonkey who gets beaten up by Robin.
60** Even Rose Wilson gets hit by this in her brief reappearance in the "Island Adventures" miniseries. Despite the show establishing her as a [[OneManArmy One Woman Army]] capable of effortlessly beating the Titans, even with Terra's help, Raven's able to take her down with little difficulty.
61* BaseBreakingCharacter: Pretty much all of the Titans have mixed reception due to the show's BrokenBase status, although some characters' popularity has [[TheScrappy suffered more than others]]:
62** This iteration of Robin has proven to be this over the years. While he has plenty of vocal haters who see him as a whiny, arrogant [[ItsAllAboutMe egotist]] who never stops obsessing how he's the "Lone Wolf Leader", and actually values [[GloryHound getting glory over doing heroic deeds]], not to mention his constant abuse for his team, he also has his share of fans who find these previously mentioned traits to be hilarious and, especially after the "Flashback" two-parter, understandable given his past and the other characters' unreasonable treatment for him (especially in later seasons), and also enjoy his moments where [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold he actually cares about his team]].
63** Beast Boy has been received differently across the fanbase. Some loved how his role as PluckyComicRelief has been expanded, and see him being even more hilarious and his more [[TheWorfEffect worf-y]] and [[CannotTellAJoke unfunny characterization]] aspects were toned down. While others don't take well [[AdaptationalJerkass how much of a jerk he has become]], and that he doesn't even care he got the entire team killed with his pranks in "Ghost Boy". There are also mixed views about his design; some people find it cuter, while for others it adds to their annoyance over the character.
64** Starfire has become this as well. While some adore her for being the {{nice|Guy}}st and most [[TheCutie innocent]] out of the Titans, some despise her due to her gullibility being [[AdaptationPersonalityChange more evident in this incarnation]], which causes her to act irritating and obnoxious like the rest of the Titans.
65** Terra was already a BaseBreakingCharacter in the original series but is an even bigger case now. Many have not taken to her [[AdaptationalVillainy villainization]] well, while others are just happy with any appearance she gets and feel sorry for how she's depicted in this series.
66** Batman has very divided opinions, some love his [[RecurringExtra random cameos]] and find them to be hilarious, while others hate how the show only uses him for gag appearances.
67* BigLippedAlligatorMoment:
68** When Cyborg and Beast Boy went after Pink Raven. Nothing really indicated that she could [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext effectively make everything into a sugar bowl-like land]].
69** The scene where Beast Boy [[MisterSeahorse gives birth to a baby chicken]]. It adds nothing to the plot and is never mentioned again.
70** Beast Boy and Cyborg's bellies coming to life, one of the most random and {{squick}} worthy things the show has ever done, which is never brought up again.
71* BileFascination: Many will say that the show is bad. Some watch it to see just ''how'' bad it is.
72* BrokenBase:
73** Mostly concerning fans of the original series. Some genuinely love the current series and consider it a decent and funny follow-up in its own right; others, however, feel it completely misses the point of the original and has taken too many liberties with the characterizations, animation, and overall tone.
74** The episode "The Fourth Wall" is either considered an AuthorsSavingThrow in acknowledging that the show has many detractors and isn't considered as good as the original ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' animated series or is seen as yet another shallow TakeThatCritics because of the Titans ultimately showing defiance against Control Freak's threat to reboot them again with their usual {{Jerkass}} tendencies and ToiletHumor.
75** While the episode "The Cape" has garnered a lot of hatred and accusations of being yet another jab at the detractors for being a GagDub of the original series' first episode, there are some who find the episode legitimately funny.
76* CatharsisFactor:
77** The "Sixth Titan" summer emphasizes Bumblebee's suffering by having the Titans act ''worse than usual'' to her, which is no small feat. In the end, the team's attempts to keep Karen on board lead to Robin flailing helplessly as they offer her things like being the team's leader, and, so openly phrased, Robin's "personal belongings". ("She can't have my stuff! I didn't agree to this!")
78** For anyone who didn't like Robin's treatment at the hands of his teammates where they constantly disrespect him, beat him up, and generally don't treat him with any human dignity, "Sweet Revenge" can be rather satisfying to watch as after Robin accidentally turns Earth into a post-apocalyptic winter world, he conquers a pack of wolves and turns them into his allies, goes after the Titans and has his wolves gobble them all up, and has his head held up high with his new wolf family in the ruins of civilization while finally getting to enjoy the ice cream he's always wanted.
79*** Likewise, any time Robin abused the other Titans in previous episodes, like in "Hey You, Don't Forget About Me in Your Memory", also can be satisfying to watch in retrospect.
80* ComedyGhetto: The focus on comedy has turned off plenty of fans from the original series and the comics. Ironically, the original series was ridiculed for the same reason back in its day.
81* CriticalBacklash: The show is widely hated, particularly by fans of the original series. But it does have defenders, some claiming that while the show has its share of flaws, it's not as bad as people say. There are many people (''also'' including fans of the original) who either enjoy the series for its moments that are funny or don't really have an opinion either way, but both are sick and tired of the nonstop complaints about this show—especially since these days a lot of discussions of the original will devolve into just bashing TTG.
82* CriticProof: Regardless of how much criticism, the show used to consistently pull in high ratings, and has been going on for ten years with eight seasons as of this writing, and eventually went on to have the honor of being the longest-running animated show based on a DC property. The main difference between the two groups is that the detractors are made up almost entirely of the PeripheryDemographic, while a large chunk of the fanbase is made up of the intended target audience of kids 8 to 14. As a result of this, it is much easier to see the show be treated with scorn online, including on this very site.
83* CrossesTheLineTwice: The second half of "Ghost Boy". Beast Boy takes his pranking too far. [[spoiler:It eventually causes everybody to die, including Beast Boy himself, though he doesn't care.]]
84* DesignatedHero:
85** Though one could consider them {{Jerkass Woobie}}s, The Titans themselves in countless episodes are only called "heroes" because they fight the "real" villains, and are otherwise devoid of any heroic intentions. Instances such as "Breakfast Cheese" and "Caged Tiger" depict them as {{Sociopathic Hero}}es who beat up villains for the fun of it, and use stopping crime as just an excuse for their acts of violence. "TTG v PPG" outright confirms this, establishing the Titans as "superheroes who do not care about stopping villains". Justified as the show usually exploits this for BlackComedy. This is even lampshaded in the episode "Serious Business" when Robin says that the Titans spend 3% of their time actually fighting crime. This is especially prominent with the male Titans, who are even more selfish, goofy, and jerkish than the girls, constantly labeling them as harmless babies (when they would actually mop the floor with the Titans). The Titans also tend to pull a [[TheStarscream Starscream]] on Robin, though, unlike the Decepticon, they tend to be more successful in usurping Robin's position.
86*** Deconstructed in the episode "A Farce", where Brother Blood and the Brain take the Titans to court for their careless destruction of Jump City. They are all found guilty at the end of the episode. (Though at the same time, that particular case was a [[LuredIntoATrap setup]].)
87** Special mention goes to Robin who displays several villain tendencies such as evil {{schem|er}}ing, violent psychotic fits, and being prone to [[EvilLaugh laughing evilly]]. He even acts as the episode's antagonist more frequently than actual villains do.
88** There are also times when [[ThoseTwoGuys Beast Boy and Cyborg]] fit this description well, and are portrayed as excessively selfish, lazy, rude, and willing to sink to any low to get what they want.
89** Aqualad is depicted as one as well. Instead of being a FriendToAllLivingThings, he treats his sea creatures like slaves.
90** Most of the other heroes in the TTG universe (Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Speedy, Kid Flash, Commissioner Gordon, etc.) are no better and tend to be just as bad and jerky, sometimes being even bigger jerks than the Titans.
91* DesignatedMonkey: As detailed in AlasPoorScrappy above, [[JerkassWoobie Robin]] falls into this whenever [[ButtMonkey the abuse he constantly gets]] throughout the show comes off as undeserved and/or too cruel to be considered funny, especially in later seasons where it has been significantly increased compared to the abuse the other titans, notably Beast Boy, usually get.
92* DesignatedVillain: Any episode where one or more Titans are treated as the sane ones will inevitably have them in the wrong, and it's the ones acting stupid and irrational that are the episode's "good guys", with the Titan that's "in the wrong" eventually accepting and even joining in on their teammates' behavior. Robin and Raven in particular end up in this position a lot, though in Robin's case, there are an equal amount of episodes where he's legitimately being an asshole and the Titans disapproving of him is reasonable.
93** The HIVE are this in several episodes where the Titans beat them up for seemingly no reason. "Breakfast Cheese" has the Titans beat them up for essentially ''standing around doing nothing''. Particularly evident in "The HIVE Five", where each of them are just minding their own non-villainous business before one of the Titans will show up to ruin their time.
94** Dr. Light. In "Caged Tiger" after waiting on the boy Titans, he hangs out with the girl Titans and they actually manage to convince him to pull a HeelFaceTurn. Only for the boys to show up last minute and [[HeelFaceDoorSlam brutally beat him up anyway]].
95** While Raven is as unsympathetic and jerkish like the Titans and is treated in the wrong for her temper issues, she is still the [[OnlySaneMan only rational and mature]] member and has to put up with teammates' immaturity and stupidity 24/7.
96* DieForOurShip:
97** Terra for Beast Boy/Raven (big time).
98** As well as the alternative, Raven for Beast Boy/Terra.
99** Aqualad for pretty much any ship involving Raven or Terra including: Beast Boy/Raven, Beast Boy/Terra, and Robin/Raven.
100** There's also Batgirl for Robin/Starfire.
101* DontShootTheMessage:
102** Despite its poor execution and unintentionally insulting attitude towards fans of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', the message of "Let's Get Serious" that "DarkerAndEdgier doesn't mean it's better" isn't bad in itself. It's the fact that it was delivered in the form of yet another shallow TakeThatCritics that makes the message fall flat, coming across instead as being "silliness is the superior form of entertainment" instead of focusing on the quality of the content.
103** Similarly, "The Return of Slade" had a message that warns against viewing things through [[NostalgiaFilter rose-colored glasses]] and seeing them for something they never were. It is an obvious TakeThat towards the fanbase that prefers the original, especially with the BaitAndSwitch with the supposed Slade showdown [[OffscreenMomentOfAwesome that was never shown]], and has Beast Boy and Cyborg make a clown DarkerAndEdgier after being disappointed that it was more childish than they remembered; this ends up warping everything around them, including the episode of ''Pretty Pretty Pegasus'' Raven is watching. Indeed, this could have worked as a TakeThat towards detractors who seemingly ignore that the original ''Teen Titans'' was on [[TargetAudience the younger and sillier side of the scale of modern era action cartoons]], but was ultimately too overly generalistic and heavy-handed. Thankfully, "Classic Titans", a Super Friends spoof, did a much better job executing the message that "not all cartoons age well".
104** "Teen Titans Roar!" trying to defend ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCatsRoar'' after [[TaintedByThePreview fans reacted negatively to the initial trailer of the show.]] What could have been a good message about not judging something before it's released was hurt by Raven, used to represent one of the show's critics, [[StrawmanHasAPoint pointing out that shows aimed at kids don't have to be terrible and kids are smarter than people give them credit for]], a common criticism leveled at ''Teen Titans Go!''. Starfire, who is defending ''[=ThunderCats=] Roar'', doesn't actually give any kind of rebuttal. The episode ending by saying ''[=ThunderCats=] Roar'' is the true successor to ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985'' and openly insulting people who think otherwise, while including a TakeThat towards ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', undermines its own message about judging things and instead feels more like the show is once again giving its tiresome and obtuse message that "people who don't like silly cartoons are stupid."
105* DracoInLeatherPants: Robin has been getting this treatment as of late, with some portraying him as an innocent victim whose abuse from his [[WithFriendsLikeThese teammates]] is completely unwarranted. These viewers tend to ignore that Robin is often portrayed as an abusive ControlFreak who's just as bad, if not worse than the other Titans.
106* EnsembleDarkhorse:
107** Raven's emoticlones. Especially Passion/Purple, for the BB/Raven fans, as well as Pink.
108** [[MsFanservice Lady Legasus]] has been getting plenty of fan art as well.
109** Birdarang is well-liked for his square-ish demeanor and goofy voice.
110** [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010 Kaldur]] gained a lot of fans due to calling out the Titans with his TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in "Let's Get Serious."
111** Rose Wilson is one of the most popular characters, due to being in one of the few serious, action-filled episodes, having great interactions with fan-favorite Raven, and for being a total badass in her appearance and fighting style. Also, the way she disses the Titans can be taken as a TakeThatScrappy moment. Her popularity led her to get brought back in "Operation Dude Rescue".
112* EvilIsCool:
113** Mad Mod. For being one of the few classic Teen Titans rogues to be true to his original series self. Also, unlike many of the other villains, he does not undergo BadassDecay and is actually [[TheBadGuyWins a successful villain]], where he manages to drain the youth from all the Titans sans Raven.
114** Control Freak is this in spades. He's true to his original self, but what really makes him interesting is he provides an InUniverse explanation of the Teen Titans continuity being rebooted, explaining in the "Fourth Wall" that he reset reality and created the ''GO!'' continuity.
115** One of the reasons why Rose Wilson is so popular. While the majority of the villains are complete jokes that rarely pose a threat to the Titans, Rose is a [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]], [[KnightOfCerebus ruthless]], {{badass|Normal}} villain that has zero qualms with killing.
116* FriendlyFandoms
117* It seems to have this among fans of ''Anime/YokaiWatch'', which has similar humor, as well as with the fanbases of two Nickelodeon shows that are about superheroes: ''Series/HenryDanger'' and ''Series/TheThundermans''.
118** One could call it a FriendlyRivalry ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'', as fans of the newer show were annoyed that it wasn't treated as well by the network as ''Teen Titans Go'', but did not express much hostility towards Go beyond that. It helps that ''DC Super Hero Girls'' was treated well by pretty much every aspect of Warner Brothers, including the animators of Go, judging by how well The Super Hero Girls were treated in the Go crossovers. Every relevant part of Warner Brothers treated the show well ''except'' [[ScrewedByTheNetwork Cartoon Network]].
119* FanNickname:
120** Purple Emoticlone Raven is often referred to as "Passion".
121** The Boombox Staff [[FusionDance fusion]] was referred to as "Boomstaff", before getting officially named "Beat Box".
122** The show is referred to as "Teen Titans Go [[WesternAnimation/{{MAD}} Mad!]]" due to the ProductionPosse from the AnimatedAdaptation of ''MAD'' working on this show.
123* FandomRivalry:
124** ''Teen Titans Go!'''s AdoredByTheNetwork [[AdoredByTheNetwork/TeenTitansGO status]] initially resulted in a massive rivalry between the fandom and the rest of the DC Nation fans. The demise of DC Nation, and the show's marathons gradually taking over the network's schedule over the years, caused the rivalry to stretch to ''every other show on Cartoon Network'' (with the possible exception of ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball''). Thanks to said status, other fandoms believe that the show doesn't deserve all the airtime that it gets. It potentially rivals ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' and even '''''Literature/TheTwilightSaga''''' for having the most detractors on the Internet!
125*** The show is often regarded as TheScrappy among all of DC media, with their respective fandoms either shunning TTG or [[FanonDiscontinuity outright refusing to acknowledge it]].
126*** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' fans developed quite a fierce rivalry due to both being LighterAndSofter DC cartoons, but with JLA having a considerably more light-hearted approach. That, and JLA being ScrewedByTheNetwork because TTG was AdoredByTheNetwork.
127** Fans of ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012'' have taken umbrage to the content of the episode "Truth, Justice, and What?", which features the Titans beating up a representation of the Turtles.
128** Even the show's fandom has their own beef with ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''. Cartoon Network has occasionally run ''TD'' marathons leading into the new seasons, [[{{Irony}}but at the expense of new ''Teen Titans Go!'' premieres]].
129** ''WesternAnimation/SonicBoom'' fans joined the rivalry due to that series getting moved for more ''Teen Titans Go!'' reruns. It doesn't help both shows share a similar comedic tone, and the former was well-received even by detractors of [[VideoGame/SonicBoom the video games]].
130** A minor rivalry from ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' fans, due to Cartoon Network airing the pilot ''[[ScrewedByTheNetwork at 6am]]'' right before a marathon of ''Teen Titans Go!'' episodes. The day said pilot aired was also the day Winter Storm Orson hit the eastern United States, and CN held a TTG marathon to entertain the kids (at least those who had power) who couldn't go anywhere because of the storm.
131** Likewise ''WesternAnimation/MightyMagiswords'' fans were not happy the show was pushed back and practically disappeared at a time when the show was beginning to [[GrowingTheBeard gain their own steam]]. The fact that the Magisword app icon sometimes plays during [=TTG=] episodes didn't help matters.
132** ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls'' viewers had what could be called a FriendlyRivalry with ''Teen Titans Go''. While ''DC Super Hero Girls'' is a more focused, detail heavy and comparatively more sensical take on the source material they are both irreverent parodies of the DCU beaten up by those who preferred more serious and or more faithful adaptations. ''DC Super Hero Girls'' fans were mostly annoyed Cartoon Network refused to treat the new show as well as the older when even the animators of Go seemed to think both could coexist.
133* {{Fanon}}:
134** A rather large portion of the fanbase has decided that this series is just a bunch of weird dreams from the original series Beast Boy. Those who have this as their headcanon have admitted that they have more fun watching the show than other people probably do. To the point that, at a convention, Greg Cipes HIMSELF mentioned he liked this theory when asked.
135** There's also a theory that this series is an alternate reality created by Larry, and exists in the same continuity as the original series. [[note]]It turns out this isn't too far from the truth, as this series was the result of a CosmicRetcon caused by Control Freak, as revealed in the "Fourth Wall".[[/note]]
136** Some fans also treat ''Go!'' less as an actual Reboot and more as a SpinOff to the AnimatedAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{MAD}}'', due to both shows having Aaron Horvath working as Producer, Writer, and Director.
137* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff:
138** The series is considered an ''extremely'' divisive series in its native United States. However, it's pretty well-liked in France to the point where it will usually be the highest-rated program on France's children's channels for the week. The fact that it isn't as [[AdoredByTheNetwork incessantly overplayed]] there doesn't hurt.
139** It's so big in Latin America that many of the official Spanish language uploads of clips of the show have well over 25 million views, with three of them having over 55 million views. In addition, ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'' actually beat the grosses of [[Film/ChristopherRobin its]] [[WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation competitors]] in those two countries, unlike most places where all three films got released, and the movie topped the Brazillian box office.
140** ''Teen Titans GO!'' also has a sizeable fanbase in Japan, likely because of the cute character designs and the weird humor of the show.
141** The show has enormous popularity in Italy. First off, there are times when two channels (usually Boing and Cartoon Network) will be playing the show at once. Second, on Netflix, it's the most-viewed animated series, compared to other countries where ''WebAnimation/{{Cocomelon}}'' is usually the top show.
142* GrowingTheBeard:
143** "Colors of Raven" for some.
144** "Cool School" is one of the most liked episodes, with the inclusion of [[EnsembleDarkhorse Rose Wilson]].
145** "40% 40% 20%" is an extremely loved episode, and one of the few that did not rack up criticism from the haters, mainly due to a massive AnimationBump and loving send-up to 80s action movies.
146* HamAndCheese: All the voice actors. It's pretty obvious the cast is just having a ball reprising their old roles.
147* HarsherInHindsight:
148** Many fans, who have read the comics or have seen the original series, know that Cyborg's greatest fear is losing his humanity. In "Tower Power", his mind is a part of Titans Tower.
149** ''Teen Titans Roar!'', a FakeCrossover with ''WesternAnimation/ThundercatsRoar'', ends with the original Lion-O appearing and declaring ''Roar'' a worthy successor to the original despite the backlash it received. ''Roar'' ended up being cancelled less than a year later after an unceremonious move to a weekday time slot where most of its target audience was in school.
150** During the ''Super Hero Summer Camp'' event, the Titans openly talk about how adding Bumblebee to the team is a good idea because [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall their adventures are getting stale and repetitive]] and a new member would help freshen things up. Bumblebee would be written off the show after being on the team for only eight episodes.
151* HilariousInHindsight: [[HilariousInHindsight/TeenTitansGo Has its own page]].
152* HoYay:
153** In "Double Trouble", the numerous duplicates of Beast Boy and Cyborg take over Titans Tower, and one group of them are seen playing a game of SpinTheBottle. Take from that what you will.
154** For some fans, the very fact that Beast Boy and Cyborg are close friends is [[ShippingGoggles enough of a reason to ship them together]].
155** In "You're Fired", Cyborg is shown to be the only one who's actually upset about Beast Boy being fired, is shown crying over a picture of him at the "Hero Audition" and it's even implied that he might have had something to do with Beast Boy trying to sneak back in.
156** In "Power Moves", Robin is obsessed with merging with Cyborg and even merges against his will.
157** In "BBCYFSHIPBDAY", the Beast Boy x Cyborg Friendship Friend making kissy faces.
158** In "Pig In a Poke", The Joker has Batman undies. Similar to a villain from a certain [[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Disney show.]]
159* ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars: A common defense for the show is that it's a purely comedic show and geared towards a younger audience, thus it's not supposed to be taken seriously. Even the writers themselves have admitted that they wanted to make a "stupid show" and didn't put much effort into it. This is even invoked and used as AnAesop in the episode "Real Magic" where Robin's lame attempts at magic are constantly heckled by Raven, who is then banished to the mines by the Magic God, who says he hates hecklers. In the end, Raven learns that just because something's terrible doesn't mean you should hate it. [[BrokenAesop The episode's Aesop obviously holds little water to the show's vocal detractors]] (which only increased due to the show's takeover of CN's schedule), who claim this reasoning only makes the show worse.
160* JerkassWoobie:
161** Robin may be an egotistical ControlFreak, but despite his negative actions, it's not hard to feel sorry for him (even those that hate him [[AlasPoorScrappy can feel sad for him]]). In "Dude Relax", it was revealed that the animals in his circus would often abuse him as a baby, which was the reason why he's always paranoid and uptight. His team would also [[WithFriendsLikeThese treat him like a joke sometimes]], to the point of them wanting him to be replaced with either another leader or one of their own numbers committing mutiny. It could be justified due to his obnoxious behavior, but many felt that this kind of treatment he gets from his teammates is just plain miserable.
162*** Robin's failed attempts to win [[SingleTargetSexuality Starfire's]] affection can also be heartbreaking for some. While they did manage to become [[OfficialCouple a couple]] in the original series, this incarnation clearly shows that Starfire [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXNoAdYzXzg has no romantic interest in Robin]]. She even stated in "Sandwich Thief" that she [[ShipSinking didn't love him, nor couldn't even learn to love him, and didn't tell him so as not to hurt his feelings]]. Heck, if it weren't for that lie detector, she would've purposely ''lied'' to him.
163** Raven may have a cynical attitude, but that doesn't stop her from having her sympathetic moments (the last scene of "Be Mine" was her most evident so far). She's also the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] in a cast full of clowns. Oh, and her dad's one of the most evil beings in the universe, and won't stop heckling her into following in his footsteps.
164** Even Beast Boy and Cyborg in their occasional ButtMonkey moments. For example, the former is the first to die in "Salty Codgers". The latter has gotten mauled on multiple occasions and lost his body to a virus because of Robin's [[FantasticVoyagePlot inner body wanderlust]] taking precedence over finding a cure in "Body Adventure".
165** The H.I.V.E. can be this in episodes where the Titans are excessively stupid or violent. Gizmo and Mammoth are the most frequent victims. Notable examples include "Artful Dodgers" where the Titans have the H.I.V.E. sent to jail after losing a dodgeball match to them despite their blatant cheating, "Breakfast Cheese" where they are [[DisproportionateRetribution viciously attacked for the simple, petty crime of loitering]], and "In and Out" where all five Titans viciously beat up Mammoth when they infiltrate the H.I.V.E.'s new base.
166*** In their titular episode "The Hive Five", not only do the Titans constantly prank call them but the H.I.V.E.'s attempts at enjoying their day off are completely ruined by the Titans' obnoxious antics.
167** Blackfire maliciously frames her sister Starfire for her own crimes and gets her thrown in jail. The "Woobie" section comes in when it occurs to Blackfire that Starfire is the only one who unconditionally loved her and makes a sincere attempt to become a good sister, only for her previous jerkass actions to bite her in the form of Starfire escaping from prison and giving her a severe beatdown.
168** Even [[{{Satan}} Trigon]] is this. He's trying to be a good father but doesn't have a way with his anger. [[ObfuscatingStupidity Though in some ways, it's an act.]]
169* JustHereForGodzilla: Fans of ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' watched the {{Crossover}} episode "Hugbees" as it featured the titular hero and several other characters prominently with their official voice actors, plus unlike its sister series ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', ''Freakazoid'' is not getting a reboot, making this the closest thing to one.
170* LauncherOfAThousandShips:
171** Raven already had this status in the original show, but now she has even more shipping candidates to add to the list. She's shipped with Beast Boy, Robin, Starfire, Terra, Jinx, Aqualad, and Rose Wilson.
172** Starfire also has no shortage of ships, with Robin, Raven, Beast Boy, Jinx, Speedy, and Kid Flash.
173* LesYay:
174** Starfire licking Raven behind her ears, which could also count as {{Squick}}.
175** Also, Starfire kisses Raven on the forehead at the end of "Caramel Apples". Granted, it wasn't in a romantic way, but it still counts.
176** Raven's time spent with Rose Wilson in "Cool School" and later "Operation: Dude Rescue" edges into LesYay territory at a few points.
177** In "The Inner Beauty of a Cactus", one of the last people Starfire attempts to kiss is a woman.
178* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt:
179** In "Pie Bros", it looks like Robin, Starfire, and Raven have been baked into pies and Cyborg and Beast Boy are eating them. It turns out they escaped and only their hair and clothes were in the pies.
180** It's pretty much averted every other time where any of the Titans can die by the end of the episode without revival, and [[TheyKilledKennyAgain still be alive in the next]].
181** Oh, you thought Bumblebee was gonna join the team full-time?
182* MemeticMolester:
183** Robin in "Power Moves". He spends most of the episode inside Cyborg and forces him to come up with off-the-wall [[CombinationAttack power moves]].
184** Scary Teri from "Slumber Party". The way she makes Cyborg scream like a little girl, along with the fact that she stalks anyone nearby when summoned, little kids included.
185** Cyborg in "Rocks and Water", where his attempts to be the third wheel to Robin and Starfire reach disturbing levels, going so far as to get in the way of their kiss (with him [[HoYay kissing Robin]]).
186** The Tooth Fairy in the episode "The Dignity of Teeth". His appearance, voice, and the fact that he eats teeth are creepy enough, but his [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace touchy-feely mannerisms]] towards Raven and the [[StalkerWithACrush lecherous way he covets her teeth]] makes him [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything come off as a sexual predator]]. Unlike the other examples, which are mostly PlayedForLaughs, it comes off as legitimately disturbing. The "ta-ta-ta-ta" can be considered pretty funny though.
187-->'''Tooth Fairy:''' No need for introductions. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. We met while you were ''sleeping''. Yes. I wiggled my fingers under all of your pillows to extract the pearly treasures held under them. Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. All except ''you'', Raven. You never gave me ''your'' precious teeth. It made me covet them even ''more''. (''Menacingly'') Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
188* MisBlamed:
189** A lot of fans have blamed this show for getting ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' cancelled, even though the latter's producers had already listed out the causes for cancellation, with those causes having nothing to do with ''Teen Titans Go!''.[[note]]Merchandise wasn't selling as well as hoped, and while the show had success with a large teenage/young adult female PeripheryDemographic, the network, and studio only cared about the poor ratings they had with the preteen male TargetAudience.[[/note]] [[http://epicaistar.tumblr.com/post/77929808658/made-that-for-the-halifax-ttg-crew-last-year This pic]] of the Titans beating up the cast of ''Young Justice'' made by Copernicus Studios, an animation company in Halifax that does some of the animations for ''Teen Titans Go!'', didn't help.
190** The show was also blamed for causing ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'' to not do well and eventually become forgotten by Cartoon Network, using ''Teen Titans Go'' interrupting ''Supernoobs'''s schedule to air the rest of the season in August and September after an eight-month hiatus, but said return only lasting for two weeks, as an example. In reality, "Supernoobs" suffered from low ratings right from the start, and the return not being properly advertised made it doomed to fail.
191** The show has often been blamed for causing the cancellation of ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''. In actuality, [[http://www.player.one/regular-show-creator-jg-quintel-talks-ending-series-season-8-and-future-558231 the series]] was ended by the creators’ choice.
192* {{Moe}}:
193** Starfire, of course. Her FishOutOfWater status is played up for all its worth in this show, particularly in episodes like "Parasite". She's especially adorable autotuned ("Uncle Jokes").
194** Raven has a lot of [[WhenSheSmiles Moe]] [[PuppyDogEyes moments]] herself. Even her TwentiesBobHaircut makes her look cute when it's seen.
195*** Special mentions go to when she got a toothache after Cyborg fed her a cybernetic meatball in "Meatball Party", as well as "Pirates", which has her [[LuminescentBlush blushing]] and smiling a lot. She also gets a cute fishbone hair dec from Aqualad in said episode.
196*** "Baby Hands" gives us a look at Raven's original comic outfit; combining it with an eager-to-please attitude [[http://teen-titans-go.wikia.com/wiki/Baby_Hands?file=Raven%2527s_original_costume.png makes her absolutely adorable]].
197*** Just a quick cutaway, but when she's tap dancing in the bathroom in "Serious Business", the results are adorable and funny.
198*** Speaking of dancing, in ''Justice League’s Next Top Talent Idol Star: Part 1'', Raven reveals her passion for dancing, and we get to see a quick montage of her dancing while growing up, from a cute toddler to the present day. Too bad Trigon's one of the FantasyForbiddingFather types. Or at least he was.
199** Silkie, especially since the creators dialed up his cuteness, save for a few gross moments.
200** Beast Boy can be this when he doesn't act like a jerk or a child. A DC Kids video description even describes him as arguably the cutest Titan.
201*** Him doing his head-rattling dance at the beginning and end of "Head Fruit" also counts as this.
202** All the Titans count as this when they're babies/little kids, particularly in "Dog Hand" and "Halloween".
203* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Starfire's singing at the end of "Breakfast Cheese". They're just downright huggable, and for ''very'' good reason.
204* MorePopularSpinOff: While the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 original series]] was a hit in its own right, ''Go!'' is a ''[[AdoredByTheNetwork/TeenTitansGo mon]][[MarathonRunning/TeenTitansGo ster]]'' that has lasted several times longer and has raised an entire generation of kids on a level of shows like ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''. It got to the point where when the character Red X made it into the DC Universe proper he was explicitly cited as a ''Go!'' character, rather than the 2003 series, ''[[AdaptationDisplacement where he originated]]''.
205* NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity: Despite the sheer hate this show has gotten, the [[http://comicbook.com/2015/02/25/michael-jelenic-on-teen-titans-gos-young-justice-crossover-and-i/ ratings were initially still climbing]], ironically ''because'' of said vitriol. As the advertisements say, it's "[[TakeThatCritics your new favorite show]]".
206[[/folder]]
207
208[[folder: O-Z]]
209* OlderThanTheDemographic: The protagonists are teens, the show is aimed at preteens, and a huge chunk of the viewership consists of ''toddlers''.
210* OlderThanTheyThink:
211** Terra's [[spoiler:hatred for]] Beast Boy may be surprising to fans of the 2003 show, though this originates from the 80's comics. [[spoiler:"Be Mine" has given Terra back some of her 2003 qualities, what with her actually falling for BB whereas the original comics version hated him from start to finish.]]
212** Beast Boy and Raven being in a romantic relationship actually dates all the way back to the comics, and isn't something ''Teen Titans Go!'' made up. Even though it wasn't explored in the original ''Teen Titans'' series and the WordOfGod for that show clarified several times that these versions weren't supposed to have that kind of relationship and were more LikeBrotherAndSister.
213** To a lesser degree, some have criticized Starfire's SuperSpeed abilities, showcased especially in "Boys vs. Girls" and in her verse in the team's rap in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies'', as coming out of nowhere. Starfire having those abilities is subtly indicated a few times in the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003 original cartoon]]; she is shown leaving the Earth and flying into space on her own power in "Transformation" and "Snowblind", and she would need to travel at beyond hypersonic speeds (roughly ''Mach 37'') to reach escape velocity.
214** Even the show's habit of [[TakeThatCritics attacking people who dislike it, even for legitimate reasons]] is this to some extent. The first DC superhero cartoon to call out its critics for wanting it to be DarkerAndEdgier was actually ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheBraveAndTheBold'', which infamously had Bat-Mite argue to a StrawFan AudienceSurrogate that a LighterAndSofter, more comedic work isn't necessarily an inferior one. Granted, the argument in ''Batman: The Brave and The Bold'' was less insulting the detractors for not liking the direction they're going and more defending itself by addressing why the show shouldn't be dismissed just for having a different tone from previous continuities.
215* OneSceneWonder: The Titans meeting their own voice actors in "The Self-Indulgent 200th Episode Spectacular!", especially Creator/TaraStrong [[TheCastShowoff showing off her versatility]] by doing her voices for [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls Bubbles]], [[WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents Timmy Turner]], and [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle]].
216* OvershadowedByControversy: ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' is, without a doubt, one of ''the'' most controversial shows on Creator/CartoonNetwork since it started airing in 2013, if not one of the most controversial cartoon shows ''period''. The show has been given lots of advertising, reruns, and marathons, to the point that it has its own AdoredByTheNetwork [[AdoredByTheNetwork/TeenTitansGo page]]. Meanwhile, Cartoon Network's other shows (most notably ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' and ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime''), both in-house and acquired, have either been under-advertised, given multiple month-long hiatuses, or outright cancelled by the network, leading some to believe that the channel was deliberately sabotaging the shows, alienating their fanbases and potentially putting the people who worked on them out of jobs, just to make room for more ''Go!'' reruns; a few even suspected a nefarious plot by MoralGuardians to cleanse the channel of anything they see as "inappropriate". This, along with its hatedom among older audiences, especially fans of the original ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', has overshadowed nearly every other aspect of the show, quite possibly every other new show on the network, ''and'' the career of former president Christina Miller, who was responsible for turning it into the flagship show of the network and is even accused by some of being the one who "ruined" Cartoon Network.
217* PanderingToTheBase:
218** "Rocks and Water" finally has Beast Boy and Raven kissing, which is something the colossal [=BBRae=] fanbase had been dying for since their first ShipTease in "Matched".
219** "Some of Their Parts" is a sequel to "Colors of Raven", one of the most popular episodes in the series.
220** "Legs", another one of the show's most popular episodes, received two sequels--"Leg Day" and "Arms Race With Legs".
221** "[=BBRae=]" is one giant love letter to the [=BBRae=] fanbase, which was one the most anticipated episodes in the show's run, featuring the "[=BBRae=] (Bae)" song performed by Creator/GregCipes.
222* ParanoiaFuel:
223** This line from a shrunken Robin to Starfire in "Body Adventure" comes off as a bit creepy due to his StalkerWithACrush tendencies toward her.
224-->'''Robin:''' I could be anywhere, at any time, and you would never know. Anyway, just pretend I'm not here. (''Stares at Starfire while creepy music plays.'')
225** This line from the talking TV to Cyborg in the episode "Oil Drums", while meant to come off as heartwarming, has shades of this. Not helped by the TV ''[[SpikingTheCamera staring directly at the screen]]''.
226-->'''TV:''' You might be surprised to know that all those years you spent staring at me, I was staring right back at you and it has been a joy to help shape you into the man you are today.
227* PeripheryDemographic: Surprisingly, most viewers of ''Teen Titans Go!'' are toddlers. This could be due to the attractive art style of the show and the fact that it's one of the few things Cartoon Network airs during the time when toddlers watch TV[[note]]At least prior to 2021, when ''Creator/{{Cartoonito}}'' was launched on the US channel.[[/note]]. It constantly gets higher ratings than shows actually aimed at preschoolers (most notably ''Series/SesameStreet'') and has been the top show of the month in ratings with that demographic twice and often appears at the top of the list. This has led to Cartoon Network holding a few mini Teen Titans Go! marathons on weekdays specifically for this demographic. [[https://ew.com/article/2016/09/05/50-cent-son-sire-birthday-teen-titans-go/ A notable example]] is Music/FiftyCent's son.
228** Many adults also enjoy the series, though their attempts to defend the series are often drowned out; they tend to become punching bags themselves on the Internet and have been called everything from tasteless to even philistines.
229** A big part of the reason why adults enjoy the show is that it caters to them, especially those who grew up in the late 70s and early 80s. Many of the references are to 80s shows, culture, and aesthetics. "Night Begins to Shine" comes to mind.
230* QuestionableCasting:
231** "Weird Al" Yankovic, using his goofy voice, as ''Darkseid''. And the thing is? The way it's done is just CrazyEnoughToWork.
232** On the writers' side, casting writers from [[WesternAnimation/{{MAD}} a satirical show not afraid to give mean-spirited]] TakeThat jokes is probably not the best one to hire, even for a superhero comedy. Hell, some believe that ''Go!'' was originally an unused sketch for ''MAD'' before ''MAD'' itself ended production.
233* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Mother Mae-Eye is actually received better in this series, compared to her original self where she appeared in an episode that was questionably written on drugs. Here she's not some pie-dwelling witch who induces hallucinations but is instead a [[Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet Sweeny Todd]] {{expy}} who bakes pies with people in them. She's also actually capable of combat and actively antagonizes the Titans rather than pretending to be their mother.
234* RootingForTheEmpire:
235** Many viewers have found themselves rooting for the villains, especially in episodes where the Titans are being excessively stupid and unsympathetic, while the bad guys are the sane ones. Prominent examples are "Waffles" where Brother Blood is the StraightMan while Beast Boy and Cyborg are being irrational {{Jerkass}}es, or "Breakfast Cheese" where the Titans literally beat up the H.I.V.E. for ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor standing around doing nothing]]''.
236** The episode "A Farce" has Brother Blood and the Brain taking the Titans to court for their careless and reckless destruction of Jump City. They are all found guilty at the end of the episode.
237** In the ''Island Adventure'' episodes, Robin invokes a blatant {{Expy}} of the Predator and stirs a panic as they're hunted before telling them they learned nothing about hard survival and running off. [[HeelFaceTurn Except they befriend the alien anyway.]] But with all of the absolute hell Robin stirs during this batch of episodes, it's not surprising to see people cheer at [[spoiler: the alien mounting Robin's skull [[AnatomyAnomaly (with hair shapes)]] on a wall in TheStinger.]]
238** Rose Wilson. It's not hard to side with her OnlySaneMan attitude when put alongside the sillier Titans. Plus she lays a TakeThatScrappy moment on all of them sans Raven.
239** Several viewers said they wanted the Queen of Britain to defeat Robin in "Hot Salad Water". Robin's American jingoism and insistence that tea with turn the USA back into the British colony ([[TheCloudcuckoolanderWasRight which was the Queen's plan after all]]) probably didn't help.
240** Blackfire in "Girls' Night In". Considering her [[HeelFaceDoorSlam treatment]] from Starfire during Season 2's "Mr. Butt", some were actually happy to see her tear her younger sister down.
241* TheScrappy: This version of Aqualad isn't very popular, due to his ChickMagnet persona being escalated to TheCasanova and he acts like he owns every girl. Not to mention, him hitting on Raven clashing with the show's colossal [=BBRae=] fandom.
242* SeasonalRot:
243** Many view season 2 as falling to this due to the Titans' increasingly idiotic and mean-spirited natures as well as episode plots becoming more bizarre with nonsensical and often abrupt endings. Even a portion of those who were previously fans of season 1 has lost faith in the show. The season also contains some of the most controversial episodes such as "Let's Get Serious", "Truth, Justice, and What?", and "The Return of Slade". The latter of the three was particularly scorned for being both another cruel jab at the show's critics and a blatant, shallow ratings trap that shamelessly lied to its fans, causing many to lose whatever respect for the show they had by that point.
244** Season 3 is considered this by some due to more emphasis being put on the Titans' mean-spirited natures, the overuse of '80s references and predictable fourth wall gags, and interesting plots being wasted for the sake of comedy such as the episode "Two Parter", which is considered the worst offender. However, Season 3 contained the episode "40%, 40%, 20%" which is widely regarded as the best episode of the series so far, receiving acclaim from haters, critics, and fans alike, and even led to ''two'' multi-part specials.
245* ShipToShipCombat:
246** Most of ''Teen Titans Go!''[='=]s older fandom comes from fans of the 2003 cartoon; as a result, as of both "Terra-ized" and "Matched", the fandom has revived the Ship to Ship Combat between BB/Rae and BB/Terra shippers.
247** It got worse with "Be Mine", when [[spoiler: Terra comes around to BB's feelings]].
248** Zigzagged with "Staring at the Future". Fans of ''Go!'' didn't mind that [[spoiler:Robin hooks up, and has a baby, with Batgirl, as it was accurate to the Batman comics, in which Barbara Gordon was one of Dick Grayson's love interests]], but fans familiar with the original series (as well as the comics before it, where [[spoiler:Starfire is also one of Dick Grayson's major love interests]]) found it insulting.
249* SoOkayItsAverage:
250** Those who don't outright despise the series usually see it as this, stating that while it has more than its share of flaws, it's still watchable. In terms of truth, Teen Titans Go had a very rough beginning due to the fans of the original Teen Titans downright hating/disliking the show. According to Saberspark, who is famously known for creating the What's Ruining and What Ruined series, he regretted putting this show on his Top 10 Worst Cartoon Network Shows video after swallowing his pride and being able to enjoy the show's humor despite the past resentment he had held towards the show. After all, reboots aren't supposed to replace the original shows that they stem from. The reboot does in fact have a fandom also.
251** Most people's opinion on the crossover with ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'' after it finally aired. While many praised the episode for giving Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup, and Mojo Jojo characterizations more in line with how they were in [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998 the original series]] as well as the girls and the PPG Narrator delivering several TakeThatScrappy statements to the Titans, the same people are irritated that the Titans treated the girls like babies and ended the episode without learning a thing (as usual) after the girls proved to be better crimefighters.
252* SpiritualSuccessor:
253** The episode "Smile Bones" is sometimes jokingly called "Website/DeviantArt: The Animated Series", referencing the site's perchance to attract those with belly kinks (who, of course, loved this episode).
254** To the ''Justice Friends'' shorts that aired between episodes of ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'', which also starred a group of incompetent superheroes who were more interested in goofing off and getting into wacky hijinks than fighting evil.
255* {{Squick}}:
256** The frequent vomiting fits the characters' do throughout the series.
257** The pies made out of people. The Titans even ate some.
258** If you know what "owl pellets" were, Beast Boy puking it into Cyborg's cereal as a prank in "Ghost Boy" is this in spades.
259** Muscley Robin. Especially when he flexes his butt cheeks.
260** The entirety of the "Parasite" episode. "Parry" is just [[ScreamingAtSquick nasty]]. Particularly cringe-worthy when Robin lets loose several parasites to latch onto his face, and they drain him of all his nutrients.
261** It's bad enough that it was on the floor beforehand, but Cyborg eating a moldy 30-year-old pizza in "Staring at the Future" was pretty gross.
262** Beast Boy agonizingly pushing a fish into his head through his ear in "Brain Food". He also put a banana in his ear later in the episode.
263** Robin regurgitating ping pong balls nonstop at the end of "Real Magic".
264** The Titans being turned into old people by Mad Mod in the episode "Salty Codgers". Also, Raven's affection toward old people, which has her hugging and kissing them like one would do a pet, comes off as this to some. In-Universe, even the Titans think it's disturbing.
265** In "Serious Business", you can't tell what's worse: the fact that Starfire uses the toilet to make chili, or that the Titans now know this and still eat it.
266** In "Smile Bones", the image of the Titans' bloated stomachs, particularly Starfire's, who has ''nine'' stomachs, has been getting this reaction; as has the image of Cyborg and Beast Boy's bellies ''coming to life''. There's also the fact the Titans take out their teeth and put it in each other's mouths.
267** The mutation scene in "Truth, Justice, and What".
268** Beast Boy getting repeatedly stung by bees and eventually bloating to grotesque proportions in the episode "Two Bumblebees and a Wasp".
269** "Head Fruit" has a tree growing out of Beast Boy's head and sprouting fruit, which the Titans eat and even make a drink out of. The episode also has him again jamming things in his ear like a book and a slice of pizza.
270** "The Dignity of Teeth" reveals that the Tooth Fairy takes your teeth so he can eat them. And him challenging Raven to an eating competition causes her to develop an appetite for teeth as well.
271** Pretty much the entirety of the episode "The Croissant", from Silkie's friend to the Titans being turned into humanoid insects by Killer Moth, to the vomiting fits being turned up.
272** "Leg Day" takes a premise from a previous episode (where Raven becomes the KickChick-themed Lady Legasus) and drives it straight into ''this'' territory. ''All'' of the Titans get leg-themed names and musculature... but only in certain areas. Cyborg, a.k.a. Thunder Thighs, has absolutely massive thighs... and little else. Beast Boy, a.k.a. Calves has, you guessed it, massive calves. And the rest of his legs are his normal noodly thinness. The song at the end that borderline fetishizes their hypermuscular legs just adds to the creepy.
273** In "The Cape" a redub of the original series episode "[[Recap/TeenTitansS1E1DivideAndConquer Divide and Conquer]]", in one of the redubbed lines, Cyborg calls the electricity crackling between his and Robin's eyes "eye milk", complete with the sound of milk being poured. Several disturbing squick conclusions can be drawn from this. Firstly, Cyborg's eye is discharging fluid, which by itself should be a telltale warning of serious health problems. Secondly, the fluid from Cyborg's eye is draining into Robin's eye. Exchange of body fluid in any shape or form is generally discouraged due to what could be passed onto someone else. Thirdly, Starfire wishes to ''drink'' the eye milk. That's right, she wants to consume the lactic fluid produced by another person, especially when said fluid appears to be an infectious discharge coming from someone's ocular region.
274* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: A few pop up over the series:
275** The rap song that Robin is jamming to in "Driver's Ed" is basically an instrumental version of "Stuntin' Like My Daddy".
276** In "The Cruel Giggling Ghoul", during the ScoobyDoobyDoors chase sequence, the song playing is very similar to Patty Smith's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ68ovUkw58 "The Warrior."]]
277** The music that plays during the ''Anime/DragonBallZ''-esque fight sequence between Robin and the Leprechaun in "Beast Boy's St. Patrick's Day Luck and it's Bad" has the same general arrangement as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-64CaD8GXw "I'm Shipping Up to Boston"]] by Music/DropkickMurphys.
278** Scary Figure Dance is almost identical to the Monster Mash.
279** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4oAOZ8nbq4&t=20s Booty Scooty]] sounds quite a bit like [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFy0hQ3lY-w "Turn Down For What"]] by DJ Snake and Lil John.
280** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6FGR3itiHc&t=206s song Robin dances to]] in "Jinxed" sounds a lot like the instrumental to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TUd2VFvs7o "Maniac"]]—fitting, given that the sequence is a reference to {{Film/Flashdance}}.
281** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC0eMLi7Jn8 "Take It Down Low"]] from the episode "Fish Water" seems to be heavily inspired by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PCkvCPvDXk "All About That Bass"]] by Music/MeghanTrainor.
282* TaintedByThePreview: Fans complained about it just from seeing the previews. Big complaints were the art style being nothing like the {{Animesque}} style of the original and the comedy being seen as a drastic change in tone from the original show.
283* TakeThatScrappy:
284** For those who hate this incarnation of Robin, anytime he gets punished for his actions is quite satisfying. [[AlasPoorScrappy Unless you find it a tad excessive]], such as his own friends [[TheStarscream constantly gunning for his position as leader]].
285*** One particularly satisfying one is Raven repeatedly kicking him in the face in "Legs".
286*** In "Road Trip", Starfire misunderstands the rules of [[CarRideGames Slug Bug]] and repeatedly punches Robin in the face, taking extreme pleasure out of beating the tar out of him. Raven is quite amused by this as well.
287*** In "Yearbook Madness", no one wants to join Robin's "Speedwalkers Club", before shortly a satellite crashes on top of him before a visual pops up saying "Hit By Falling Satellite Club".
288*** In "Hey You, Don't Forget about Me in Your Memory" has the episode opening with Beast Boy telling a story of Robin's funeral and the other Titans happily believing Robin to be dead, even though Robin is heard repeatedly screaming from the sidelines that he's still alive.
289*** In "Squash & Stretch", the Titans are trying to figure out what makes violence funny in cartoons and decide to test on Robin. He ends up with several bruises and broken teeth.
290** If you're not fond of Cyborg and Beast Boy, seeing them getting repeatedly pummeled in "Caramel Apples" might be cathartic to watch. At least, [[IgnoredEpiphany until]] [[KarmaHoudini the]] {{e|tTuBrute}}nding. Similarly, seeing Brother Blood torture them with his Pain Bot in "Waffles" might have you [[RootingForTheEmpire rooting for him]], though the ending where Beast Boy's body has been skeletonized [[AlasPoorScrappy might be a tad bit excessive]].
291** "Let's Get Serious" has Aqualad from ''Young Justice'' tear into Robin for having a team full of clowns that are a disgrace to real crime fighters. Not that [[StatusQuoIsGod anything changes]], which the episode itself lampshades and in fact makes a joke of.
292** "Cool School" has Rose Wilson dishing painful insults which hurt all of the Titans except Raven.
293** To some, the ''entirety'' of "The Fourth Wall", due to Control Freak outright proclaiming the show to be "GARBAGE" and directly telling the Titans why the PeripheryDemographic hates their show. He then has the Titans watch the original series to show them the difference between them.
294** The ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'' crossover pretty much goes out of its way to show the Titans at their worst, being rude and incompetent to the Powerpuff Girls. And unlike other episodes that point out the flaws of the show, but ultimately tries to lay at least partial blame on the audience for "not getting it", the episode ends with the Powerpuff Girls being disgusted at how amoral and petty the Titans are and the Powerpuff Girls narrator calls them out for being useless and unheroic.
295* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: As one can tell from the previous tropes, this show has gotten quite a bit of this reaction. Before the show actually aired, even:
296** The excessive [[AdaptationPersonalityChange personality changes]] of the Titans to much sillier, jerkish natures is one of the most heavily criticized aspects of the show.
297** It {{replac|ementScrappy}}ing ''Young Justice'' in DC Nation didn't help.
298** Some fans hated ''Young Justice'' for not being like the early 2000s ''Teen Titans''. Now some people hate this show for not being like ''Young Justice''.
299** Back in the day, some fans hated the ''Teen Titans'' series for not being like the ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' comics or any of the Timm/Diniverse toons. Now, some fans hate ''Teen Titans Go!'' for not being like the ''Teen Titans'' series.
300** Some have complained about how Raven's hair was changed from [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5b5sp3FBu1rseq48o1_1280.jpg her earlier unhooded design]].
301** There's also the fact that this series isn't the same as the ''New Teen Titans'' shorts that aired during Cartoon Network's Saturday morning DC Nation block. Said shorts were based more on the original show than ''Go!'' is, had a different style of comedy, and overall didn't make the Titans into extreme caricatures of themselves. The changes in style that ''Go!'' has are so significant that fans feel incensed that they didn't get the expanded version of the ''New Teen Titans'' shorts they were expecting to get.
302* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks:
303** A common criticism against the show is that it apes the comedy of other shows on Cartoon Network like ''Regular Show'' and ''WesternAnimation/UncleGrandpa'' albeit very poorly.
304** At its worst, many fans even compare it to ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' in its later seasons, in that they feel that it's plagued with lazy characterization, unfunny jokes, [[SadistShow rampant, unnecessary assholery]], abrupt nonsensical endings and the constant amount of pop culture references from the 80s.
305* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter:
306** ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} appears in "Two Parter". It turns out that his [[EvilSoundsDeep gravely voice]] is because he has a cold, and actually has the voice of Music/WeirdAlYankovic. Unfortunately, we barely get to hear this voice, let alone sing, and [[AntiClimax is defeated shortly after.]] To many fans and even haters, it could have been seen as a saving grace of "Two Parter" let alone [[SeasonalRot Season 3]].
307** To a slightly lesser degree, there's the [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] badass, Rose Wilson. Despite being [[EnsembleDarkHorse very well-liked]] for [[TakeThatScrappy trash-talking the Titans]], as well as being the closest thing the show will likely ever have to [[KnightOfCerebus Slade]], she's only made two other major appearances since her debut. Needless to say, fans, and even some detractors, are disappointed that they don't use her more.
308** The H.I.V.E. members, [[ADayInTheLimelight outside of]] [[EnsembleDarkHorse Jinx]], also qualify. Despite being the show's most reoccurring antagonists, [[FlatCharacter they have little to no actual characterization]] and only really exist to give the Titans someone to fight as a way to move the plot along. It doesn't help that [[TheVoiceless they rarely have dialogue]].
309** [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010 Kaldur]] was considered the highlight of the otherwise [[BrokenBase contro]][[TakeThatCritics versial]] "Let's Get Serious"; acting as both an AudienceSurrogate and OnlySaneMan that [[TakeThatScrappy grilled the Titans for their]] [[DesignatedHero selfish and idiotic behavior]]. He could have made a solid {{Foil}} to the Titans, but sadly hasn't made an appearance since.
310*** Miss Martian and Superboy have it even worse. Not only do they retain none of their personality traits from ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'', but they aren't even given any lines in their one episode.
311** There's also the Justice League, who [[TheVoiceless aren't voiced]] in the show proper and don't really do anything of importance besides acting as joke punchlines.
312*** This also applies to various characters from the original show that are relegated to non-speaking cameos (ex. Kyd Wykkyd, Mad Mod, Punk Rocket, etc.).
313** Blackfire's portrayal in her debut episode was noticeably more sympathetic than how she was shown in the 2003 series; with her being more of a JerkassWoobie than a straight sociopath and actually trying to apologize to Starfire for her actions at the end of her debut episode ([[HeelFaceDoorSlam an apology Starfire brutally shot down]]). The show could have continued to explore this side of Blackfire and take her relationship with Starfire in an interesting new direction. Instead, they relegated all her future appearances to non-speaking cameos up until Season 5's "Girl's Night In", where she goes back to being a sociopathic BigSisterBully.
314** This also applies to [[SixthRanger Bumblebee]]. She was a major character throughout "The 6th Titan" arc and gained some popularity for being the closest thing the team had to [[TokenGoodTeammate a moral center]]. While most of her and the Titans' interactions amounted to them being unjustly mean to her, there was still comedic potential in their dynamic. Unfortunately, "The Viewers Decide" has her unceremoniously leave the team to become "Bat-Bee" which was never mentioned again or referenced to afterwards, with the Titans barely noticing or caring. Worst off, it ends with an endcard saying she won't return.
315* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A frequent criticism of the show is that many episodes feature interesting premises, but often sacrifice the appeal for comedy. Here are a few standout examples:
316** "Sidekick" has trouble brewing in Gotham. Instead of it being a Batman villain, it's the H.I.V.E. again, who appear often enough in Jump City as it is.
317** "In and Out" toyed with the idea of the heroes [[MythologyGag dressing up as their evil counterparts]] to infiltrate the H.I.V.E. tower. So, we get Robin as Red X and Cyborg as Stone. Beast Boy even comes in with an even bigger throwback of the '80s comics with a nostalgic costume.[[note]]Which is fair enough since he doesn't really have an evil counterpart.[[/note]] So, this is where we get to see Blackfire, or at least Starfire's villainous self from a previous episode, and [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Red Raven]] costumes, right? [[spoiler: Wrong. What we get is the girls dressing up as RummageSaleReject villains.]] Even if we overlook all of that, the cool premise of seeing Red X again seems to be wasted by Robin making him look like an unstable jackass from the start, instead of the unflappable stoic badass he was always portrayed as.
318** The B plot of "I See You" has a very interesting premise, where Raven is trying to [[RedRightHand hide a potentially devastating secret]], and Cyborg and Beast Boy are tailing her to find out just what the secret is after being told that they were terrible at stakeouts. It is something that could have been dramatically built up across several episodes, thus giving the show a genuine GrowingTheBeard moment and even a ContinuityNod of the [[spoiler:Trigon Arc from the original show]]. Instead, Raven quickly solves her problem by the episode's end. Despite nearly being killed, and not realizing the gravity of the situation happening right in front of them [[spoiler: even after they are accidentally banished to an alternate dimension]], Cyborg and Beast Boy celebrate when they believe that Raven's big secret was that she had a crush on the latter.
319** "The Return of Slade" has been heavily criticized for this. The promised battle against [[BigBad Slade]] happens offscreen after he's mentioned for a few minutes. The rest of the episode deals with Cyborg and Beast Boy trying to make a clown DarkerAndEdgier when they feel the clown is too kiddy, and the Titans trying to stop said clown after Cyborg and Beast Boy succeed. To many fans, the episode came off as both a shallow ratings trap and [[TakeThatCritics yet another jab at the show's critics]].
320*** Another plot they forgot in this episode was having Robin be afraid of clowns, instead of Starfire, giving both some background on Robin while also having a Joker cameo.
321** Played with to "They Missed a Perfectly Good Joke" during the ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls2016'' crossover. While it's probably because Bubbles is no longer voiced by Creator/TaraStrong, does anyone else want Raven and Bubbles [[LampshadeHanging to comment on each other's voices?]]
322** The main conflict of "Hot Salad Water", the Independence day special, had to do with a shipment of tea that resulted in the Titans acting more and more British. This would have been a good place to have Mad Mod (a known British mind-controlling villain who once tried to sabotage Independence Day in the original series) show up, but instead, the culprit ended up being the Queen of England, trying to get revenge on America for the Boston tea party.
323** For all the network hyped up the episode starring the [[Rule63 gender-swapped opposite Titans]], the crew didn't really do much with the concept. Most of the gender swaps only appeared in the last couple of minutes, and only Beast Boy got any meaningful interaction with his counterpart.
324** The episode "Girl's Night In" ignores Blackfire's sympathetic portrayal in "Mr. Butt", in which she goes through a genuine HeelFaceTurn and tries to make amends, [[HeelFaceDoorSlam only to be rejected and beaten up by a hardened Starfire]]. This could have been brought back up as the reason for her current hostility towards Starfire and added more depth to Blackfire and her relationship with her sister, but they instead revert her back into a {{Jerkass}} with no explanation.
325** There's also the fact that the show never directly acknowledges that Rose Wilson is Slade's daughter, apart from her briefly alluding to him in her debut episode. Even then, we're given very little insight as to what their standing is with one another. Given their [[EvilIsCool popularity]] and [[DeadpanSnarker general attitude]], it's safe to say more than a few fans would have loved to see them interact.
326** For the series as a whole, many fans were disappointed that it goes for more random events humor than having fun with the DC universe and the history of the Teen Titans series. We do occasionally get some snippets of it here and there (Trigon, Darkseid, the whole audition line up for Beast Boy's replacement complete with the Wonder Twins, the other Robins outside of Dick, Nightwing, and Batgirl... Heck, this series was even the first official animated appearance of Ravager!), but the writers rarely seem to capitalize on it, especially due to [[WesternAnimation/{{Mad}} their previous work]].
327* UnconventionalLearningExperience: Ever want your kids to learn about Ponzi schemes, real estate, the Oregon Trail, and other useful life skills? Well, the Robin-centric episodes of the show can be quite useful as dispensing a large amount of knowledge on these educational topics.[[note]]The economics-related ones are favorites of the cast and creators as such.[[/note]]
328* UnexpectedCharacter:
329** Ravager came as a bit of a surprise, as she never appeared in the original series (though she was in the [[ComicBook/TeenTitansGo comic tie-in for it]]), as well as the fact she's the daughter of Slade Wilson (who had yet to appear on this show himself).
330** The hyped-up sixth Titan debuting in "Forest Pirates" being Bumblebee was not what viewers had expected, with people thinking that the member would be either Terra or a completely new character entirely.
331** Even taking into consideration how the show has referenced old cartoons like ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987'' and even had classic cartoon characters like the Scooby Gang appear, it's been nearly 30 years since Beetlejuice has been on TV in an animated format, with no serious signs of any revivals on the horizon. As a result, seeing him appear in "Ghost With The Most" can come as quite a surprise.
332** While the show ''WesternAnimation/{{Freakazoid}}'' is considered a 90s cult classic, it still had a relatively short run, unlike other WB shows of its era, and it likely wasn't considered a contender for a ''TTG'' crossover by many. So with that in mind, it can be a pleasant surprise to see the titular character and some of his supporting characters and villains show up and interact with the Titans in "Huggbees".
333** For "Warner Bros. 100th Anniversary", it might not come as too big of a surprise to see multiple animated ''Warner Brothers'' and ''Creator/HannaBarbera'' characters as we've seen these types of characters show up in the series before. However, what ''may'' come as a genuine surprise is seeing Gizmo and Brain Gremlin from ''Franchise/{{Gremlins}}'' show up, despite coming from a relatively well-known ''WB'' produced franchise, in large part due to the fact that despite being a cult classic, Gremlins isn't exactly prolific when it comes to media bibliography, boasting only two films and [[WesternAnimation/GremlinsSecretsOfTheMogwai one Netflix series]] in all these decades.
334* UnintentionallySympathetic:
335** Robin is often viewed as this. While he's meant to be a KarmicButtMonkey, there are some who feel that the amount of punishment he receives for his {{jerkass}} behavior is excessive to the point where it's difficult not to feel sorry for him, especially considering how the rest of the Titans are often portrayed as being barely any better than he is, yet typically don't received that same level of karma. "Flashback" took this even further with the reveal that the Titans are responsible for making Robin the ControlFreak he is today, leading to some to view his behavior towards his team as almost understandable.
336** Blackfire, particularly in her debut episode "Mr. Butt". While her NoHoldsBarredBeatdown at the hands of Starfire was likely meant to be seen as LaserGuidedKarma for getting her arrested, considering that Starfire still beat her up even after hearing her express genuine remorse for being a terrible sister and wanting to be better, it's not very difficult to feel sorry for her; especially considering that the episode ends with Starfire acting like it never happened. Come "Girls' Night In", her hatred of Starfire almost feels understandable considering that was the last time they interacted.
337* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: The Titans, whenever they're portrayed as {{Jerkass Woobie}}s. Considering the number of episodes where they do awful things [[KarmaHoudini with little to no repercussions]], it's hard for some to ever want to see them succeed.
338* ViewerGenderConfusion: The Tooth Fairy, due to her lack of TertiarySexualCharacteristics and her voice actor being a man, though she's referred to by female pronouns several times and refers to herself as a girl in "Easter Creeps".
339* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: While it's often stated that the show's intended for a younger audience than the original series, this seems suspect when you take into account the following: a) a lot of the humor [[DarkerAndEdgier seems inappropriate for the young audience, including a considerable amount of violence pushing the show into a TV-PG rating]]; and b) many of the pop culture references featured in the show are relatable only to older audiences (kids of the '70s and '80s mostly), including full-episode parodies of ''Series/FantasyIsland'' and ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' and loving homages to ''Series/TheATeam'' and ''Series/TheGoldenGirls''.
340** In "Them Soviet Boys", the show explicitly namechecks ''[[Creator/SergeiEisenstein SERGEI FREAKIN' EISENSTEIN]]''. At least you can't say the kids aren't learning something...
341** For some reason the show likes to treat twerking, a stripper move, as a funny children's dance, with multiple episodes having the characters perform the "Booty Scooty" as a prominent part of their plots. Other dances similar to the Booty Scooty have appeared in the episode "The Fourth Wall" as well as in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoToTheMovies''.
342* TheWoobie:
343** Raven in any episode when the other Titans are being immature, obnoxious jerks, and she has to put up with them.
344** Gray Raven in "Colors of Raven". She's in a constant state of helpless fear, has [[VomitIndiscretionShot frequent vomiting fits]] out of sheer nervousness, and her last act before Robin and Starfire sneakily send her back into the prism is to silently weep to herself in the city park.
345** Starfire. Even when she was younger, her sister would often act jerkish to her and she would only forgive her in the end. In "Starfire the Terrible", she gets mocked for being nice when trying to be a villain.
346** Bumblebee. Despite doing all she can to support the Titans and put up with their less-than-savory behavior, the team regularly excludes and mistreats her without a second thought.
