** [[https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/emmy-the-robot/crying-baby/viewer?title_no=402201&episode_no=19 Initially]], Emmy believes the way to calm a crying baby is to ''[[BlackComedy smother it]]''. She's quickly corrected and told why it's a bad idea.

* JobStealingRobot: Dupont was once the the location of the three biggest robot manufacturers in America. At some point, the companies realized that robots could do the jobs of people at a faster, more efficient, and cheaper rate and began replacing their human workers with machines. This caused a public outcry and a few riots before a law was passed that required all companies in Dupont to employ human workers. Rather than fix the problem, the companies instead either left the area or went bankrupt, causing a recession, and leaving a lot of resentment for robots in the city.

** Mr. Delaire encounters one of these bootleg Nandroids at an off-brand electronics shop while searching for Emmy. While she very poorly acts like one, she quickly gets angry when he refuses to take her home and even menacingly tells him no one has to know about it.

** One owner of a grocery store in the poorer suburbs has banned all robots from his store entirely, tired of them stealing his products, and threatens to fire Emmy with an electric gun when she enters to ask for directions.

* TrackingDevice: In order to not lose Emmy, Darcy puts one of these on her by convincing the robot that is a friendship bracelet. [[spoiler: This laters saves Emmy from being kidnapped by the Iron Spikes]]

* ArmCannon: Nandroids have what appears to be pepper spray built into their arms intended to be used as a last resort self-defense option. [[spoiler:It also seems to be capable of functioning as a fire extinguisher]].

** A news report mentions someone producing bootleg Nandroids; most of the Nandroids in the cast are horrified by the implications and figure they must be Evil Knockoffs, but Amy thinks that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and that it makes Nandroids trendsetters.

* WhoWouldWantToWatchUs: Emmy thinks a story about the daily life of a robot nanny would be too boring for modern audiences. Madeline retorts that people make books about boring people all the time, and her school makes her read them.

** Amy confuses the events of ''Film/MyFairLady'' for gossip.

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Robots cannot eat, though Emmy still occasionally enjoys putting things into her mouth to see what it's like.

* MrAltDisney: John Sterling, CEO and founder of Sterling Robotics, looks very much like an aged Walt.

* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler:Madeline's Birthday arc seems like this, as Emmy's hand starts failing and her attack mode is triggered when Madeline was about to make her birthday wish, accidentally attacking Madeline's dad with her foam in the process and ruining the girl's cake and birthday, ending with Emmy locking herself in the bathroom and the parents worrying that Emmy will hurt their upcoming child after hearing rumors from Molly]].

* PrecociousCrush: In a subplot from the bonus comics, Corbin's friend Ajay has a crush on Corbin's nandroid Molly, to the point where his ambition is to get into politics so he can pass a law that will allow marriages between humans and robots. When Corbin tells Molly about this, she snickers and explains that nandroids are taught about such things in training, implying that she's just going to ignore it. This disappoints Corbin, who had been hoping that she would openly reject Ajay.
