Meet the Jetsons

  • Adaptation Dye-Job: In The Jetsons, Rosie had red eyes, but here, she has yellow eyes, and only gets red eyes when she turns evil.
  • Adaptation Personality Change:
    • While Judy could lapse into Bratty Teenage Daughter territory in The Jetsons, in this episode, she shows blatant contempt for her family. She also isn't boy-crazy like she was in the original.
    • Elroy becomes an Annoying Younger Sibling, while in the original, he and Judy got along fine despite their age difference.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Rosie becomes an evil killer robot.
  • Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Elroy becomes an Annoying Younger Sibling towards Judy, while she becomes something of a Big Sister Bully by threatening to end him.
  • A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Rosie starts out as the typical friendly robot maid we all know and love, but she soon switches to Destruct-O-Mode after Yogi annoys her. She then infects the other Rosie robots.
  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: After George and Jane accidentally blind themselves, Judy says that they are such an embarrassment.
  • Annoying Younger Sibling: Elroy makes fun of Judy by making a hologram of her that has fart noises. Judy says that she will end him.
  • Bad Future: In the future, Jellystone gets destroyed by killer robots. This is why Ruff and Reddy have to go back in time to prevent it.
  • Beatnik: Huck makes an offhand comment about having to cancel slam poetry night. Then, we cut to Wally, Cindy, Squiddly, Peter, and Boo Boo dressed as beatniks, with berets, sunglasses, and black sweaters.
    Wally: Wall-ee? Wall-enough. I am enough.
    (the others snap)
  • Blinded by the Light: While trying to pull up his presentation, George accidentally turns on the flashlight and blinds himself and Jane.
  • Bratty Teenage Daughter: Judy complains about her parents being embarrassing, and threatens to end her younger brother.
  • The Cavalry: While Doggie Daddy initially offered to go back to the future, he somehow ended up in the past. However, he arrives back in the future just in time to save Augie.
  • Chirping Crickets: Huck asks if there are any volunteers to help Ruff and Reddy save the town. Someone faintly coughs.
  • Continuity Nod: Bobbie Looey, as the new head of Spacely Sprockets, has achieved "Maximum Business."
  • A Day in the Limelight: Besides the Jetsons, Ruff and Reddy also get a lot of focus in this episode.
  • Downer Beginning: The episode starts off with the town in an apocalypse.
  • Exhausted Eye Bags: When Ruff and Reddy go back to the past, they find Huckleberry walking down the sidewalk with the town budget, claiming he hasn't slept in days, and the circles around his eyes are insanely dark.
  • Extra-Long Episode: This is a 22-minute episode.
  • Everything Is an iPod in the Future: In the future, Jellystone looks chrome and sleek.
  • Fun with Acronyms: El Kabong lives by the code of "ABC" - Always Believe Children.
  • Hologram: In the future, watches have holograms on them.
  • I Am Not Weasel: George calls Wally an iguana and lizard. Wally keeps correcting him.
  • Identical Grandson: When the guys meet two people who look like Mayor Huckleberry and Boo Boo, Yogi asks if they are their great-great-great-great-great-grandbabies. Mayor Huckleberry tells him genetics don't work like that and it's only one year into the future.
  • In Medias Res: The episode starts off while the town is in the middle of an apocalypse in the future. We don't know what happened for the town to get to this point until later in the episode.
  • Insert Song: "The Future's Looking Bright in Jellystone," a song about how great the future is.
  • Killer Robot: When Rosie goes into Destruct-O-Mode, she tries to kill everyone.
  • Leitmotif: When George introduces himself and his family, the first few notes of the Jetsons theme song play.
  • Mic Drop: After Yogi says he wants to go back to the future, he does a mic drop.
  • Papa Wolf: Doggie Daddy gives the robots hell for messing with his daughter.
  • Phoneaholic Teenager: Judy is too busy talking on the phone to notice the apocalypse happening around her.
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: Ruff and Reddy make these eyes at El Kabong, begging him to believe them.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: In this series, the Rosies have yellow eyes, and switch to red eyes when they turn evil. This is unlike the original series, where Rosie always had red eyes.
  • Robot War: The Rosies enter Destruct-O-Mode and try to start the apocalypse.
  • Set Right What Once Went Wrong: Ruff and Reddy go back to the past to stop the killer robots from taking over the town.
  • Shout-Out: Yogi rolls around on the ground like Homer Simpson once did.
  • The Silent Bob: Elroy never talks, but he emotes with his headset, which contains symbols for whatever he's feeling.
  • Skewed Priorities: Judy is more concerned with talking on the phone than the apocalypse.
  • Stable Time Loop: It turns out Rosie turned evil because a time-traveling Yogi bugged her with too many requests.
  • Take Over the World: Rosie goes "cuckoo bonkers" and tries to take over the world.
