History Radar / Robotomy

*** A robot hooker in a bikini with a rough, mannish voice asking Thrasher and Blastus if they want a girlfriend. The same robot hooker would appear again in "Nana's Run" when Thrasher and Blastus try to hide Thrasher's grandmother under the bridge where the homeless, psychotic robots live (and [[FreezeFrameBonus if you look closely]], you'll can see the "pipe at the playground"[[note]]the place where the steroid-like tonic came from[[/note]] that was mentioned on the episode "Field of Screams")

* The show also has characters saying "crap," (someone said, "Oh crap!" near the end of the "Tickle Me Psycho" episode), "tool" to mean someone who is awkward or unlikeable (Thrasher's line, "I look like a tool!" on "El Presidente"), "sucks" (meaning "to be inferior or unfair"; in the "Mutilation Ball" episode, Blastus says, "Yeah. Being a benchwarmer sucks!"), and "screwed" (Thrasher in episode 2 said, "We are so screwed!"). It's minor, yes, but even the cartoons of the 1990s didn't go that far (at least in America; the cartoons in Canada do get away with this, showing that Canadian kids' TV is a lot more liberal than American kids' TV).

——

* In "Mean Green", when Maimy sees Thrasher looking down and talking to his crotch ''pictured on the right'' (it's really The Green Spirit of Insanus hidden in his belly compartment, but Maimy doesn't know that) about how he'll take it out later:

** A robot hooker in a bikini with a rough, mannish voice asking Thrasher and Blastus if they want a girlfriend

** Not to mention that Thrasher wants to smash Maimy with a hammer, he "literally" wants to bang her.
* So did the third episode, only it was more visual. A cutaway shows Blastus's mom walking in on her son bent over and muttering, "Aw, yeah!" [[spoiler: Turns out he was painting a picture of himself and his mom. It didn't stop her from burning the picture, because according to Insanus society, anything with any semblance of emotion is considered as filthy as pornography]].

* A subversion: the donating coolant plan on episode two might seem like a robotic equivalent of donating sperm, but given how physically wrecked the two became the more they donated (cf. the teacher describing the side effects of donating coolant: jitters, paranoia, fire blisters, and rectal whistling), it's more on par with donating blood or plasma.

* The beginning of "The Trials of Robocles" had Mr. Dreadnot arrested for trying to run away from teaching the class about puberty by draining his bank account, setting fire to his apartment, changing his name, and heading for the border -- all the while wearing a minidress, a thong, and high heels.
** And from ''El Presidente'':

* In the third episode, Blastus makes reference to the infamous "not fresh" commercial.

** The second episode features a masturbation joke.

** The entirety of ''"The Trials of Robocles"'' is laced with references to puberty and killing non-robotic monsters horribly, including burning one alive, that were just trying to help them.

** The 'Frenemy' episode had the embarrassing videos of Thrasher and Blastus: the one for Thrasher showed him making out with a dummy version of Maimy; Blastus's video showed him getting his butt buffered by his mom.
*** "Frenemy" also had this: in the sequence where Frenemy first appears to them, Frenemy mentions that Thrasher's favorite website is www.kittensintighttanktops.com (though the kittens on the website {save for the ones in the live-action photos} look as if they're wearing bras), which Thrasher reacts to rather sheepishly (as if it were an actual porn site).
** On the non-sexual side of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, the show has a lot of FamilyUnfriendlyViolence (of course, this being a cartoon, most of the characters come out of it fine a few scenes later) and lesser characters getting killed off in gruesome ways.

Robotomy may have run for a short time on Cartoon Network but it left a trail of questionable jokes that would certainly make any fan ask, [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar how did that get past the censors?]]

-->'''Thrasher''': And I don't want to know ''why'' it's your favorite...

** Nit to mention that Thrasher wants to smash Maimy with a hammer, he "literally" wants to bang her.
