* NeverTrustATrailer: The reboot aired on Creator/PBSKids, which was also the channel that aired the last few seasons of the original incarnation of the show.

The show started off as a rather high quality StopMotion series, then, when it was relaunched as ''Ready, Steady, Build'', it became a rather low quality computer-animation like several other kids shows seemed to be turning into at the time. Now (despite the controversial redesigns), it's handled with ''much'' better CGI from Creator/MainframeEntertainment.

* DreadfulMusician: Bob in "Bob's Bugle". He constructed a crafted trumpet out of leftover brass radiator pipes and a funnel, and had no idea that the music he is playing from his trumpet is so awful that everyone, except Roley, couldn't bear it. The music was so bad that it kept the machines awake one night when Bob plays his makeshift trumpet before going to bed.
