-->'''The Sheriff of NOTT''': Imbeciles! Buffoons! Cowards! I'm ''surrounded'' by cowards! I ask you to guard two prisoners! Just - twoooo prisoners! I even put them 10 feet in a steel ''vault'' to make it easier for you! And what happens?

* BerserkButton: There are quite a few. For example, in one episode, whenever the Sheriff would claim that the disintegrator ray was "his", he would be corrected by the inventor. However, if he'd claim the disintegrator ray to be "ours", he would certainly not be corrected. Throughout the entire series, if one threatens one of Robin's men, or Robin himself, he'll soon wish he hadn't, as the loyalty between the Merry Men is strong. And, don't try to trick Eric Arthur, the leader of the Vikings, as he doesn't like it when people try to deceive him.

60's Canadian cartoon series set in "the fantastic years to come," supposedly the year 3000, starring Rocket Robin Hood and his Merry Men, direct descendants of the English originals. Produced by Toronto-based Trillium Productions, the second and third seasons were done by Creator/RalphBakshi, and had a much different feel from the first. Though largely forgotten outside of Canada, the series has been a standby in children's programming blocks ever since its original release, due in part to Canadian content mandates.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The Sheriff has been on both sides of this trope. He once invoked this on his guards for failing to keep Robin and Little John in the vault. The time this trope was invoked onto the Sheriff was when Prince John decided to bring in a new Sheriff, while the old Sheriff was fired and scheduled to be executed.

* HumiliationConga: As it was aimed at kids, you rarely see anyone actually getting killed, even the villains, who usually just end up getting defeated. Many of them ended up being subjected to the Humiliation Conga, but perhaps the most notable example of this was Dr. Medulla at the end of the "Living Planet" episode, in which after he is defeated, he is prevented from escaping, overpowered by Robin before he can retaliate, and tied to a pole to be pestered by a woodpecker pecking on his head while the hero and his allies look on laughing and making jokes at his expense.

Many animation sequences from this show were re-used in episodes of [[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 the 1967 Spider-Man series.]]

* {{Earworm}}: The opening theme

* {{Padding}}: Between the lengthy opening theme, the oft-repeated "character profiles" and the show's annoying habit of recapping, in detail what ''just happened'' before the last commercial break, each half-hour episode would consist of maybe ten minutes of original animation. Five, if you factor out all of the StockFootage

* LimitedAnimation: And how!

Many animation sequences from this show were re-used in episodes of ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderMan1967 the 1967 Spider-Man series.]]''

* DirtyCoward: The Sheriff of N.O.T.T. (National Outerspace Terrestrial Territories)
