*VileVillainSaccharineShow: Madame Gasket has some funny moments with the other characters but is still portryed as a straight up sadist and mass murderer, who's even more evil than [[CorruptCorporateExecutive her son]].

* HilariousInHindsight: A crew consisting largely of robots, a character named Ratchet, the protagonist walking around with a wrench, the work having loads of GettingCrapPastTheRadar, and references to Music/BritneySpears. Hmm...[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank sounds familiar?]]

* MomentOfAwesome: When Rodney arrives at Bigweld's house, he gets so excited by what he sees. He then decides to knock over a line of dominoes, as Bigweld did in his show. These dominoes progressively increase in size, until [[spoiler:one massive domino topples over, plunging the entire room into a sea of black and white, with dominoes large enough to surf on]].

* FridgeHorror: There are robot dogs and birds and such, but we never see anything organic - not so much as a blade of grass. Was all life killed off by something in the now-distant past, leaving the robots play-acting the roles of their old masters?

* FridgeHorror: Compare the fate of the outmodes to real people and you realize that the Chop Shop effectively kidnaps the old, sick, and destitute, MURDERS THEM, and then harvests their organs for resale.
** Even worse, [[AndIMustScream they could still be alive when they're on the conveyor belt BEFORE they get thrown into the incinerator]].

* {{Squick}}: The Chop Shop. Think about it. Robots specially designed just to smash and break up other robots. It's like a butcher's shop full of people preparing [[ImAHumanitarian human flesh]].
