History YMMV / MyLifeAsATeenageRobot

** A country-to-country example with the Mad Hammer Bros. in the episode [[Recap/MyLifeAsATeenageRobotS1E8 Sibling Tsunami]], who like to call each other "spaz." The word "spaz" (short for spastic) is considered an ableist slur in the UK, on par if not worse than calling someone the r-word. While in North America, it is just another term to call somebody stupid or clueless, and is usually considered offensive only in the context of people with paralysis or epilepsy.

** Yet another example with the Mad Hammer Bros. in the episode [[Recap/MyLifeAsATeenageRobotS1E8 Sibling Tsunami]], who like to call each other "spaz." These days, "spaz" is considered offensive because of it becoming more common to refer to people with paralysis or epilepsy. Back in 2002 though, it was just another way to call somebody an idiot.

** Vexus, Smytus, and arguably the rest of the Cluster minus Krackus. (Though even [[BewareTheSillyOnes He has]] [[NotSoHarmlessVillain his moments.)]]

* BadassDecay: Jenny got hit with this hard in Season 3, losing in fights far more often than she did in seasons 1 and 2. Most notable examples include: being overpowered and knocked unconscious by robot ''puppets'' in "The Puppet Bride" and being subdued by the Legion of Evil, a team consisting of Jenny's '''least threatening villains''', ''twice'' in the same episode.

* EvilIsSexy:
** Some people considered Vexus to be this, thanks to her fairly attractive appearance and her seductive, sultry voice.
** Tammy, who is a complete GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe, is also this to an extent.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Vexus is very well-liked by fans of the show, for [[HartmanHips one reason]] or [[EvilIsSexy another]], and other villains like Smytus and Killgore are also very popular in the fandom. Instead, most of the fan's ire is saved for most of Jenny's bullies, mainly those she deals at high school, such as [[SternTeacher Vice-Principal Razinski]], [[RichBitch Don Prima, and Pteresa]]. In fact, the only bullies that the fanbase don't have a bone to pick with (and [[BaseBreakingCharacter even they have their haters]]) are the Crust Cousins.

** Part of the reason for Sheldon's negative CharacterPerceptionEvolution is that him being a StalkerWithACrush, which was viewed much more as harmless (if exaggerated) pining in 2002, as opposed to nowadays where awareness of [[EntitledToHaveYou male entitlement]], especially in nerd culture, makes how uncomfortable he makes Jenny harder to ignore.

** There's also a bit with Anime/{{Astroboy}} and VideoGame/{{Megaman}}.

* {{Applicability}}: "Victim of Fashion" has Jenny competing against Brit and Tiff to see who can be more fashionable. But when it comes to getting slim, being a robot her only option is having her armor and weapons removed leaving her body as just a robot skeleton. She's so weak that [[{{Anvilicious}} even the smallest member of the biker chicks gang kicks her butt easily]]. Of course this could be seen as AnAesop about function over fashion which can easily apply to technology, but the way Jenny gets slimmer can also read as a metaphor for anorexia.

* LesYay: Jenny and Vega have a lot of [[ShipTease teasy]] interactions during the "Escape from Cluster Prime" special. Jenny and Misty also are ridiculously close during the two episodes Misty appears.

* WTHCastingAgency: Considering the fact that Creator/JaniceKawaye is Japanese-American and is bilingual in both English and Japanese (even getting to show the latter language off in "Speak No Evil"), many fans were confused to learn that she isn't Jenny's actress in the Japanese dub of the show.

* VindicatedByHistory: It premiered during a period when older demographics were bitter with Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}'s cancellation of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' and shunned the network, before ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' and ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'''s debut won them back, and was one of the largest victims of [[ScrewedByTheNetwork network screwery]] of any show in the network's history which more or less doomed it to a quick death. Nowadays, it is considered alongside the three mentioned (and ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', of course) as one of the Nick's best animated series during the 2000s and is recognized by Nickelodeon far more often as of this writing then it was when it was actually in production.

** Jenny herself, albeit to a lesser extent. Many people love her for her cute design and personality and her insecurities can be very relatable, while some find her endless complaining to be annoying, and the fact that [[NiceJobBreakingItHero a lot of the mishaps that occur in the show usually is her fault and could have been prevented if she would have just listened to the other characters]].

** Also in Japan, with Music/{{Vocaloid}}, because of the well-known resemblance between Jenny and Hatsune Miku. It also has some {{Kaiju}} fans from the ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' and ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' franchises, since giant monsters were among some of Jenny's regular foes.
