History WesternAnimation / AtomicBetty

The show has also reappeared on American airwaves on the new Hub channel (formerly Discovery Kids) before it was taken off of air as of 2011.

* {{Leitmotif}}: Penelope has a classy orchestral theme that plays every time she shows off.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Beatrixo and Auntie Matter's father was an alien. This also makes Betty and her mother a quarter alien.

** In "Spliced" when Penelope and her together get spliced together into a three-headed mutant they don't seem to notice. Averted with Regeena, who reacts with either confusion or horror at the spliced mutants she sees.

* MultipleHeadCase: In "Spliced" Penelope and her posse get spliced together, becoming a three-headed mutant. They don't seem to notice.

* IdenticalGrandchild: In "Bold Age" when Penelope was aged up and her grandmother was aged down they each ended up looking like the other, except the aged down grandmother has thicker thighs than Penelope.

The show has also reappeared on American airwaves on the new Hub channel (formerly Discovery Kids).

* BetweenHerLegs: Odd for a children's show, but this is how we're introduced to Pontifidora, along with the image page for the episode.

* EarthIsTheCenterOftheUniverse: Much to Betty's dismay.

* BetweeHerLegs: Odd for a children's show, but this is how we're introduced to Pontifidora, along with the image page for the episode.

* HoYay: Sparky and X-5. One episode had Sparky dress like a blonde cheerleader, and he dragged an unwilling X-5 and introduced him as a boyfriend. Another episode had this exchange:
--> '''Sparky (talking about Betty rescuing Noah):''' "'He's not her boyfriend.' Yeah, right!" ''turns to X-5'' "Would you kick that much booty if that were me dangling up there?"
--> '''X-5:''' Not particularly.
** The valentines episode combines this with FoeYay

* TheVillainSucksSong "This Cat Is Coming After You" on the album, mainly for the Betty vocals dialogue (however, YourMileageMayVary)

* CardCarryingVillain

* NeverMessWithGranny: Betty's grandma was a former Galactic Guardian.

* CaptivityHarmonica: This was partially seen during one part of "Like Father, Like Scum" with Max Sr. (hidden in the shadows at that point) playing it before the Berillum Boys bust Max Sr. out of his prison.

** In "Case of the Missing Kanushu", TheLordofTheRings is referenced when DeGill tries to stop the red wasp from passing by, he almost succeeds in breaking the bridge, though due to him small and using a weaker wasp part, it does not go well. However, [[spoiler:he is still grabbed by the wasp crashing through the bridge and dragged to the bottom with Sparky shouting for him. Granted [[IGotBetter he does survive though]].]]

** Dylan disappeared near the end of season 2 and was replaced by Penelope's brother Chad in season 3. Since Penelope would no longer have a rival for Dylan's affections, there was no longer a need for him, so the last episode before the season 2 finale has Penelope falling out with Dylan after spending an entire episode getting humiliated in her efforts to get with him.

* FatCat: This is what Max Sr. is.

* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Admiral [=DeGill=]

* {{Zonk}}: Parodied, as the secret "Project Zonk" that the crew has to protect in an episode ends up only being [[spoilers:taco sauce. Yes. Taco sauce.]]

A sequel with the working title [[OddlyNamedSequel Atomic Betty Redux]] featuring a slightly older Betty is currently in development.
