''Robot and Monster'' is a new animated series from Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} and NicktoonsNetwork about the misadventures of two guys who live in the same place together and work in a blinking light factory.

!!Tropes:
* AloofBigBrother: Gart.
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Marf.
* AmbiguouslyGay: Gart and Ogo.
* AmusingInjuries: Robot and Perry, mostly the former.
* BaconAddiction: Bacon appears to be the only food robots and monsters eat in this universe. And don't even get into how automatons eat bacon.
* BadBoss[=/=]MeanBoss: Gart.
* BigBad: Gart.
* BigRedButton: In one episode, Robot and Monster try to run the Makin' Bakin. They are told not to press the red "Make Every Problem Go Away Button" on the counter. Guess how it does just that?
* BroughtToYouByTheLetterS: Every member of the [=DeFault=] family have their first initial on their hatch, and they are detachable.
* ButtMonkey: Perry and Robot.
* CainAndAbel: Robot and Gart.
* CastingGag: This isn't the [[WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey first]] [[TakAndThePowerOfJuju couple of times]] that Creator/MauriceLaMarche had played the Bad Boss.
** This also isn't the first time Curtis Armstrong has played a [[WesternAnimation/DanVs short, angry character]].
* ChristmasEpisode: "Baconmas"
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Gart.
* CuteMachines: Robot.
* DartboardOfHate: In "The Bad News Baconeers" Robot has a dartboard with a picture of Gart as Napoleon on it.
* DelayedReaction: In "Game Boys" after Robot botches the Pole-O match Monster tells him that you usually won't feel the pain until the next morning. Then the following morning both of them scream in pain and collapse after they get out of bed and try to open the window.
* TheDitz: Monster.
* ADogNamedDog: Robot and Monster. Strangely averted with everyone else.
* {{Expy}}: Gart is similar to Lucius Heinous VII from ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes''.
* FanOfUnderdog: Ogo.
* GadgeteerGenius: Robot.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: In one episode people ask Nessie if she used to shake her bacon (a reference to dancing) and get slapped by an offended Nessie. This joke happened twice. Wow censors, just wow.
* GrowsOnTrees: Bacon, as seen in "The Bacon Tree".
* JetPack: Ogo is equipped with one.
* {{Jerkass}}: Gart.
* KarmaHoudini: Gart sometimes.
** In "Boomerang", Monster spends all day trying to prove that Gart will get what's coming to him by doing bad things himself, only for good things to happen all day. [[spoiler:Then after a crazy chain of events, Gart's blimp gets disintegrated by Robot's invention, and then he gets rolled over by the giant gear he caused to roll around the factory, then shortly after the crystal case Monster had that was full of money breaks and all the money falls out.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: When Gart finds Robot's Pole-O team cheating against his he makes up a sob story about his team performing badly due to having square wheels and that every team they've played against (keep in mind that Robot's team is the only other team Gart's has fought) let them win because of this disability, turning the crowd against Robot.
* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Ogo.
--->'''Robot''': Monster, your tree is trying to kill all our friends... and Ogo.
* NoOSHACompliance: The Blinking Light Factory shows signs of this.
* ParentalFavoritism: As you would expect considering every other facet of Robot's life, his and Gart's parents both prefer the latter, mostly because he's actually successful.
* PokemonSpeak: Marf.
* PunnyName: Robot's family name is 'Default', ergo the initial state a product is in when it's first sold.
** In "Game Boys" Gart's Pole-O team is named the Default Settings.
** In "The Bad News Baconeers" Robot's Pole-O team is the titular Baconeers and Gart's team is the Gartgantuans.
* TheRival: Pendulum Depot to Gart.
* SeriousBusiness: Where the characters live crosswalk safety is taken very seriously, to the point that you can be [[FelonyMisdemeanor arrested for jaywalking]] or having your ''license to walk'' revoked.
* ShoutOut: In "The Bacon Tree" Monster grows [[Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors a homicidal plant named Audrey]].
* SitcomArchNemesis: Gart and Lucy to Robot.
* ShorterMeansSmarter: Robot.
* StalkerWithACrush: Ogo IS this. Also Audrey, as a result of too much love by Monster. Other than the fact she can't talk, she is Yandere as well.
* StepfordSmiler: Perry, whose face is [[PerpetualSmiler perpetually stuck smiling]].
* ThoseTwoGuys
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Bacon.
* TheUnfavourite: Robot.
* XMeetsY: ''WesternAnimation/FanboyAndChumChum'' meets ''VideoGame/{{Banjo-Kazooie}}''.
* YankTheDogsChain: In one episode Perry gets a cure for his perpetual smiling... for about a minute.
* YouMeanXMas: They celebrate Baconmas, which is a celebration of Bacon, and how it holds society together.
