YMMV / Robot and Monster

Go To

  • Awesome Music: "Take The Spiders Outside" from the ending of the Series-Finale, "Monster Hit".
  • Heartwarming Moments: In "Family Business", Robot decides to give his family's blinking light recipe to some other guy because the awful way his family treats him. Monster tries to get Gart and Mom to apologize to Robot, and Hilarity Ensues. but at the end, they end up feeling legitimately sorry for how they treat him and tell Robot they really appreciate him. Mom even reveals that she keeps a picture of Robot inside her robot chest thingy...close to her heart. It's revealed she only keeps it there so her front hatch stays stable, but they decide not to tell Robot in a rare display of courtesy.
    Gart: Mother, why do you carry around that photograph?
    Mom: Oh, my front hatch is loose. I kept it wedged in here to keep it from rattling.
    Gart: OHHH! I can't wait to tell him!
    Mom: Mmmm... Maybe it's best we keep that a secret. After all, he is family.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Robot is this taken up to eleven. He might be bossy and full of himself, but his inventions always fail, every member of his family (except for Crazy Cousin Gizmo) treats him like shit, and he's hurt, pummeled, and humiliated on a frequent basis.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Daron Nefcy, one of the show's storyboard revisionists, would later go on to create Star vs. the Forces of Evil.
  • So Okay, It's Average: General consensus is that the show is inoffensive and harmless, but also too bland to really get invested in.
