My Life as a Teenage Robot is a Nicktoon that aired on Nickelodeon for its first two seasons in the United States from August 1, 2003 to September 9, 2005 (although it first aired in the UK, Australia and Latin America in 2002 and early 2003), before being cancelled in 2005 due to low ratings, leaving a whole season unaired. The completed third and final season (which, again, first aired overseas between 2005 and 2007) eventually aired on the Nicktoons Network from 2008 to 2009, though production ceased in early 2006.Taking place in a retro-futuristic world in a fictional American town named Tremorton, the show revolves around XJ-9 (Janice Kawaye), also known by her human name Jenny Wakeman, a super-powerful android who was designed by a brilliant roboticist to be Earth's protector, but after meeting her next-door neighbor Brad (Chad Dorek) and his little brother Tucker (Audrey Wasilewski), decides she would rather live a normal adolescent life. Jenny attempts to fit in at school, but usually fails, with hilarious results. Her antics cause friction with her creator and "mother" Dr. Nora Wakeman (Candi Milo), whilst Nora's strict treatment doesn't sit well with Jenny, either. Despite this, they care about each other and eventually accept each other as mother and daughter.Jenny must also fight various menaces in the series, most notably The Cluster, a race of alien robots bent on conquering Earth, led by the evil Queen Vexus (Eartha Kitt). One of Jenny's friends is a nerd named Sheldon Lee (Quinton Flynn), who has a crush on her after being saved by her from bullies. However, she doesn't like him that way. He adopts the identity of a superhero robot himself (the Silver Shell) by wearing a suit of Powered Armor, but must keep this a secret from Jenny and the rest.Besides its titular protagonist, the show stood out for its Rubber Hose-era animation and Art Deco influenced backgrounds and title cards, an impressive soundtrack composed by James L. Venable and Peter Lurye, and its quirky, Demographically Inappropriate Humor full of shout-outs to classic science-fiction and pop culture in general. Its success encouraged Nickelodeon to green-lit more action-adventure-oriented cartoons such as Danny Phantom and Avatar: The Last Airbender.The series was created by Rob Renzetti (the man also behind Mina and The Count) and adapted from his short for Frederator Studios Oh Yeah! Cartoons titled My Neighbor was a Teenage Robot, being the third and final short to be adapted from Oh Yeah! Cartoons, with the first two being The Fairly OddParents! and ChalkZone.Rob Renzetti had expressed interest in continuing the series for many years after its cancellation, but Nickelodeon and its parent company Paramount are not interested in reviving the series at the moment on any of their networksnote Comedy Central is the only other Paramount-owned network besides Nickelodeon that still broadcasts and specializes in animated programming, although their shows are aimed at mature audiences or streaming services like Netflixnote which Nickelodeon is currently producing shows and films based on new and existing properties not fit for the network, such as Glitch Techs and Paramount+note which is also owned by ViacomCBS, putting the series' fate into a temporarily bleak position.In 2022 (likely in celebration of its 20th anniversary), the series did receive a small sign of life through appearances in three different video games. Jenny was included as a racer in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway and as Downloadable Content in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl (as a playable character with a Tremorton stage) and Smite (as a skin for Freya). Long prior to these, Jenny was a playable character in Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots. In nearly all of these, Janice Kawaye reprises her role as Jenny (the only exception being Smite, where Jenny Yokobori voices her instead). The following year Jenny would be one of the first characters confirmed for All-Star Brawl's sequel, creatively named Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, which released that November and also features Candi Milo reprising her role as Nora Wakeman as a campaign mode NPC.In 2023, Renzetti announced the show would finally be receiving a revival of sorts, in a Web Serial Novel form, via his newsletter, with the first chapter of the new story, called Alternaversity, published on August 1st, with illustrations from original art director Alex Kirwan.Currently, the entire series can be streamed on Paramount+ and on Nickelodeon's own NickHits service through Amazon Prime Channels and Apple TV Channels in the United States. | |

To be honest though, we were expecting that to happen, so not a huge problem. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Victim of Fashion"; Jenny having everything removed to become skinny as a beanpole to compete with the Crust Cousins making "Thin" the new trend, even going so far as to say "It's better to be fashionable than functionable", has noticeable parallels to eating disorders. | |

Heel–Face Door-Slam: In their first appearance, Brit and Tiff actually defended Jenny when the police were planning on bringing her downtown after the science lab caught on fire (which they caused), as thanks for saving their lives. They actually wanted Jenny to start hanging out with them, until Brit shook Jenny's hand too hard and dislodged the hair pin Tiff shot into it. As the two were being led away by the police, they blamed Jenny for it. | |

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace: Subverted in "Ball and Chain" — Jenny bangs on the window and calls Brad's name. Brad tells Jenny he doesn't want to be rescued and marries Tammy anyway. He justifiably begins to regret it because Tammy's species treats spouses as somewhere between slave and house pet and calls the marriage off at the reception, resulting in him needing to be rescued. | |

My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_1f799027 | comment |
Obstructive Bureaucrat: Exaggerated and Parodied in "Last Action Zero". When Brad joins the Skyway Patrol, he realizes that his dreams weren't all that cracked up to be when any form of a simple action in the line of duty as a Skyway Patrol Officer requires rolls upon rolls of Red Tape with a whole Mount Everest sized amount of paperwork to sign off on. Especially when Jenny is about to be dismantled by a group of Crater Critters, Brad is completely mummified in Red Tape when it comes to paperwork. Subverted and Double-Subverted by the Skyway Captain by initially agreeing with Brad's idea for taking "Rash and Immediate action", only for him to hand Brad more paperwork to sign off in triplicate. | |

Mistaken for Murderer: In "Future Shock", Tuck peeks into the future via a Chronoscope and sees what appears to be Jenny laughing maniacally with blood on her hands in front of Brad's head, severed from the rest of his body. It turns out that when Tuck tried to fight Jenny out of his paranoia, he ended up squirting ketchup on her hands, and in the commotion, Brad ended up landing in a hole with the rest of his body intact. The other body turned out to be Brad's dummy which he brought along to a couples-only drive-in theater as a "date." Jenny was only laughing at the ridiculousness of the situation. | |

No-Harm Requirement | |
My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_2c3e4769 | comment |
No-Harm Requirement: In the episode "Shell Game", Jenny lets all the harmless reptiles in a reptile exhibition loose in an attempt to draw ought Silver Shell whose stolen her robotic heart. But in the chaos, a giant deadly python gets loose and begins putting the squeeze on Sheldon. Jenny tries to hold out for Silver but unbeknownst to her, Silver Shell is actually Sheldon in a robot disguise. Fortunately she comes to her senses and engages the reptile. But after she gets Sheldon free and tries to empty her arsenal on the serpent, Sheldon stops her because while he's dangerous, he's a protected species. So instead, Jenny gets the long reptile to chase her around, causing it to tie itself in a knot. | |

My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_313e9485 | comment |
Hero with Bad Publicity: Jenny in Escape From Cluster Prime, especially in said place, where she was framed for destroying special defense chips, although there was so much focus on an artist's interpretation, no one knew that Jenny was the enemy until a policeman recognized her. Truth in Television: This actually happened in several countries which attempted to define some phenotype as a scapegoat using monstrous caricatures in propaganda - fugitives successfully eluded capture by simply proving that they didn't have horns, hooved feet, forked tongues, and the like. | |

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: Averted — Jenny has "sisters" who are prototypes (it's even played more realistically than is usual). However, this doesn't stop her from being the only one like her, ever. In fact, one of Wakeman's rivals is able to create his own male version of Jenny, which for some reason has dog instincts. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The episode "The Return of Raggedy Android" deals with Fantastic Racism when Jenny isn't allowed in a restaurant Brad works at because she's a robot. To combat this, Jenny gets a human suit to disguise her real features so she can hang out at the restaurant. Unfortunately, she's not able to fight the robots that keep breaking into the restaurant because the other half of the outfit pressures Jenny into acting like a regular human girl. Jenny eventually gets fed up with the other half so she destroys the outfit & ends up saving the restaurant. Despite this, the owner of the restaurant still can't stand robots and acts like an Ungrateful Bastard towards Jenny. This disgusts Brad, who quits, and the other teenagers, who were actually grateful Jenny saved them. The moral: no matter how nice you are to racist people and no matter what you do for them, the racism won't go away in a blink of an eye. This goes both ways too as being an ungrateful racist is very bad for business. Not a second later after the above the teenagers walks off in disgust. This left him with no paying customers and a shattered reputation. "Voyage to the Plabet of the Bikers" has a few: Upon finding the Bikers teaching at a primary school, Jenny and Tuck assume they are disguising themselves. The two had only met them when they threatened them and/or Earth, so of course they won't take the idea of their enemies being teachers who love their jobs at face value. Later, when they threaten them to expose their villany to their planet and/or their career to other villains, the Bikers are quick to point out that they won't believe them since they have no evidence... after which reality bites back at them when the two get evidence by taking a picture of them as teachers. The fact that Jenny and Tuck got the evidence by taking a picture on the latter's phone is also a SRO by itself. Given how neither his parents nor his brother were with him by the time the episode started and he seems old enough to have a phone, it makes sense he would carry it with him im case of an emergency. Once the Bikers' villany gets exposed, they not only are shunned by their planet but lose their jobs. No one would want their kids to be around villains even if they were nice to them, given how they could be bad influences. Just the fact that the Bikers' villany was exposed consists of this. All it took was someone who recognized them as villains for the truth to come out. In hindsight, this was bound to happen sooner or later. | |

Casual Interstellar Travel: Depending on the Writer. There was an entire episode devoted to Sheldon's galactic adventures, with a serious case of time dilation. At least one episode shows Tuck and Brad going to other worlds via Jenny's umbilical spacesuit.... thingy and until she's stranded it's treated with all the gravity of a road trip. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_57b80b45 | comment |
The episode "The Return of Raggedy Android" deals with Fantastic Racism when Jenny isn't allowed in a restaurant Brad works at because she's a robot. To combat this, Jenny gets a human suit to disguise her real features so she can hang out at the restaurant. Unfortunately, she's not able to fight the robots that keep breaking into the restaurant because the other half of the outfit pressures Jenny into acting like a regular human girl. Jenny eventually gets fed up with the other half so she destroys the outfit & ends up saving the restaurant. Despite this, the owner of the restaurant still can't stand robots and acts like an Ungrateful Bastard towards Jenny. This disgusts Brad, who quits, and the other teenagers, who were actually grateful Jenny saved them. The moral: no matter how nice you are to racist people and no matter what you do for them, the racism won't go away in a blink of an eye. This goes both ways too as being an ungrateful racist is very bad for business. Not a second later after the above the teenagers walks off in disgust. This left him with no paying customers and a shattered reputation. | |

Subverted when he appears to do the same stunts again, unassisted, and carrying a 600-pound robot, but no one learns that Dr. Locus' creation, Melody, was helping him that time. | |

Batman Can Breathe in Space | |
My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_5ed3ace2 | comment |
Batman Can Breathe in Space: Jenny, being a robot, is justified. Less justified is the first episode where she was able to rocket into space, blast away several meteors, get smacked around a bit, and reenter the atmosphere and return safely to Earth... with Tuck clinging onto her every step of the way. And he survived. And thought it was "Cool!" Don't even go into the facts about survival in space. Then there are the scenes where non-robotic characters seem to have no problem breathing in space (though it is Lampshaded very often). Such as poor Sheldon, when he was launched into an orbit around the sun by Jenny and spent 75 years in space, working in several situations including an open-top pirate ship with no space suit or anything. | |

Telescoping Robot: Jenny does this for comedy mostly, with a stretchy neck and even pigtail-antenna (plus "stretchy arms and extendo-fingers", to which an entire episode was devoted), but can use her body as a combination Combo Platter Powers and Shapeshifting. Quickly deconstructed as well, as she is unable to make her self smaller or thinner when the Crust cousins come up with a social situation requiring it. (She settles for completely removing all her external armor, and decides to never do it again.) | |

Bullying the Dragon: The Crust cousins take every opportunity to torment and belittle XJ-9 socially, attempting to guarantee that Jenny never, ever becomes anything close to popular. They never quite seem to grasp that for all that Jenny is a cheerful, sweet-natured girl, she also happens to be a walking, talking, sapient weapons system capable of destroying entire alien battle fleets single-handed. In one episode, with the aid of a more aggressive friend, Jenny finally shows them exactly what she can do to make their lives miserable, yet even after she drives them into a breakdown, they don't learn from the experience. | |

The puppet Lil' Acorn trumps them all. Ignoring his backstory, he defeated Jenny with ease. And he's a PUPPET. He almost succeeded with his plan, too. Dr. Locus in that unlike the other examples he ultimately success in his debut episode and has come rather close to kill both Jenny and her mother | |

Killer Rabbit: Mist Opportunity reaches its climax when a black and white bunny with super strength and laser eyes attacks the town. He mops the floor with Jenny, who had been slacking off on her training. At the end, an entire herd of them show up. | |

The Ageless: All robots, without exception, can effectively live forever as long as they're well-maintained. They don't grow or change physically outside of being modified by an outside source, and don't mature emotionally other than the ethics they learn. Vexus in particular claims to be over 2,000 years old, and still has 20 years left on her warranty. | |

Obviously Evil: Triple-subverted in "Mama Drama". Dr. Wakeman's suitor has an evil laugh and looks creepy, which causes Jenny to assume that he has sinister intentions for Dr. Wakeman. The moment Jenny starts accepting that she's overreacting, she finds a creepy collection of photos of Dr. Wakeman. It ultimately turns out that the man had no intention of harming Dr. Wakeman and only wanted to give her two free tickets to Wizzly World. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: In "Attack of the 5 1/2 Foot Geek", Jenny gives a brutal one about Sheldon when she has enough of people calling him her "boyfriend." In "Sibling Tsunami", Jenny finds her prototypes, XJ-1 through XJ-8, and reactivates them, making them her sisters. Throughout the episode, Jenny's sisters cause her nothing but trouble, and near the end, Jenny gives this kind of speech to them when XJ-8 destroys a pinata with her laser vision: | |

Immortality Begins at Twenty: Jenny was built to look and act like a teenager (approximately 16-18 human years), and will likely continue to for centuries to come. The other XJ-series robots are similarly locked into a specific phase of personality, particularly XJ-1 who is functionally a newborn baby. Subverted by Dr. Wakeman, who built a powerful age-reversing device but only uses it to take a year or two off at a time to keep herself in her mid-fifties. | |

Interspecies Romance: Sheldon's crush on Jenny, for one. And Jenny's attraction to Don Prima in the first season. Brad's near-marriage by Tammy. He would've agreed to do it, too, it it wasn't for the clause that would turn him into a domestic slave. Brad seems quite prone to this, considering his short relationship with Melody. | |

Did Not Get the Girl: By the end of the series, Sheldon has not become less co-dependant, creepy, or manipulative despite taking several levels in heroism, and Jenny's attitude towards him reflects this. When Brad, Tuck, and her mother all give her a group hug at the end of the last episode, Sheldon is left unsuccessfully looking for a way to even get an arm on her. Jenny's own romantic situation is left as a fairly blank slate as the status-quo of the series. The last we see of her longtime crush Don Prima is him disappointed in her for carelessly allowing the town to be wrecked, and at best she'll be back to neutral with him for setting it right. | |

(Dr. Wakeman herself describes them as "failed" and "incomplete" in successive sentences.) Armagedroid, on the other hand, is something of a Gone Horribly Right... | |

She attempts to blow up the asteroid she, Smytus, and Krackus are stranded on with the intent of escaping in a spaceship made of a coffee can that's too small to hold any of them, for one thing. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal: Explained. Jenny carries dozens of giant weapons inside her arms and legs (including duplicate arms and legs), most of which are larger than the limbs themselves. In "Victim of Fashion", during the long montage of Sheldon removing all of Jenny's weapon systems, Tuck gets his entire head briefly stuck inside a ring taken off of her, no wider than her arm, containing a pocket of hyperbolic space that the weapons are presumably meant to retract into. | |

My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_a6e8221e | comment |
Status Quo Is God: While this trope is normally averted in the show due to just how much continuity it has, there is one pair of episodes in particular that specifically double subverts it. In the end of "Teen Idol", Jenny launches a spaceship full of aliens into orbit...with Sheldon stuck aboard the ship and promptly forgotten by the characters. The very next short, "Good Old Sheldon", brings Sheldon back to Earth as an old man, this having been caused by Jenny launching him into space, and the entire episode is spent trying to reverse this and bring everything back to status quo. | |

Totally Radical: "Phat", "Crib", "Badonkadonk"....yeah, this show was definitely made in 2002. The trope is lampshaded to hell and back in the episode "Queen Bee". First Brit and Tiff make fun of Jenny's outdated slang, prompting her to learn some from a slang phrasebook from 1984. Then Queen Vexus shows up talking like she's from the 1920's and is immediately discovered and beaten by Jenny as a result. Moments later Brit and Tiff are trying to teach her to fit in and manage to rattle off every bit of slang they've ever said in about three lines of dialogue. It's quite cringeworthy and hilarious. | |

The Lonely Hearts Club Gang kidnaps Sheldon in a successful attempt to lure Jenny, who gets offended when they refer to him as her "boyfriend" and promptly chews Sheldon out for being a "crazy, loser, stalker geek." This obviously breaks Sheldon's heart, which so moves the gang that they set him loose and vow to even let him join them when he graduates. However, Sheldon instantly turns on the gang and frees Jenny. | |

Space Police: The Skyway Patrol. A combination of Earth's police force and military force that acts as the sole authorized authority on dealing with intergalactic threats. They're also a supreme case of Lawful Stupid that requires paperwork done in quintuplet just to do the simplest tasks. They're also an Obstructive Bureaucrat that tries to stop Jenny's acts of heroism due to it being illegal vigilantism. However, they were at least competent to win an interplanetary war between alien invaders mainly with help from Dr. Wakeman. Wakeman actually built the XJ-series strictly because the Skyway Patrol is so horribly incompetent in protecting the world. | |

At the end of the episode, Jenny privately admits to herself that she's missed having him around and that she might actually be interested in a Relationship Upgrade. Of course, her hearing's been really messed up all episode, so when she goes to talk to Sheldon about it, she thinks she hears him say that he's too good for her now, when really he was saying exactly the opposite. Cue her storming off in a huff. | |

After finally having enough and grabbing the controls away from the Skyway Patrol Captain to rescue Jenny from a sticky situation, he gets lambasted for taking unauthorized action and placed under arrest — after the Captain first fills out the mountains of necessary paperwork in duplicate, triplicate, etc., making sure it's notarized, authorized, and any other kind of "-ized" that deals with redtape bureaucracy. | |

My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_b76fe275 | comment |
Ungrateful Townsfolk: Most of the citizens of Tremorton frequently take Jenny for granted, seeing her as a mindless service droid despite her free will. The Skyway Patrol in particular always tries to arrest Jenny for practically fabricated reasons, and sometimes shows sadistic pleasure in the prospect of taking Jenny in. Even her own friends aren't immune from this, as Tuck in "The Boy Who Cried Robot" has her help him with the most frivolous things imaginable and even emotionally manipulates her to keep her from backing out. This trope comes to a head in "A Robot For All Seasons" when Todd Sweeney has Jenny reprogrammed to act violently on holidays for an entire year. Not a single person in Tremorton, including Dr. Wakeman, the person who created her, believes she isn't acting of her own volition and they try to have her incarcerated, with the exception of Sheldon, who correctly guesses she was Brainwashed and Crazy. | |

Weaksauce Weakness: Krakus' inventions are prone to this. What do you do when a bunch of them drill beneath the road and boil the asphalt to glue you in place? Take off your shoes! Apparently, bubbling hot asphalt has no affect on socks or bare feet. Doom With A View gives us an ambassador from Cluster Prime who is freaking huge, armed to the teeth (or in this case, pincers), and can reassemble his body after having it literally cut down. How do you beat such a tough opponent? | |

Played straight with the first episode when the Silver Shell didn’t show up to stop an incident at a zoo and Jenny was still fawning over him. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Brad's response when Jenny wrongly tries to prove Melody is secretly evil. Also when she attacks one of two groups of alien visitors not realizing Beauty Is Bad. And in "Escape From Cluster Prime" when everybody in Tremerton, including Dr. Wakeman, calls her out for accidentally ruining a parade while stopping a bad guy. It sets off her leaving for Cluster Prime in the first place. The entire town, again including Dr. Wakeman (though mercifully not Sheldon), does it again in the Christmas special where they all believe that she went rogue and started destroying holidays of her own volition. Brad, Tuck, and Dr. Wakeman are even implied to have never investigated why she never came home the last day she remembers. | |

On the day of the presentation, Jenny, Brad, and Sheldon get back at Tuck by showing a montage of embarrassing old home movies of him. Fortunately, Tuck passes anyway because his teacher mistakes the home movies for an autobiography. | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The show is about a robot packed with a huge arsenal of incredibly destructive gadgets/weapons attending a local high school. Other people in the show very rarely find this concept, or even Jenny herself, odd, even though she appears to be the only one around. She's not even punished for brandishing weapons towards students or teachers, or smashing through the school's walls and ceilings, unless the damage is both extreme and should have been preventable. | |

Expy: Rob Renzetti freely admitted the series was based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and XJ-9 is a pretty clear expy of early (circa season 1) Buffy Summers. Likewise, Brad is pretty obviously Xander, and the Crust Cousins are Cordelia Chase and Harmony Kendall before they were de-clawed. | |

Younger Than They Look: Jenny looks and thinks like a teenager, but it's been pointed out she was born/made five years ago. In the episode "I Was a Preschool Dropout", she was even required to go to kindergarten because she's technically five years old, which she escapes on a technicality because she was designed to be a teenager. | |

20 Minutes into the Future | |
My Life as a Teenage Robot / int_f32d85ab | comment |
20 Minutes into the Future: The set year is never explicitly stated. In the episode I Was a Preschool Dropout, Jenny tells Brad she was only born five years ago (from their time) and Brad then begins to list a number of events that all happened at that time. One of these was "Super Bowl 100". Given that 2002, the year the series and episode were made, was also the year of the 36th Super Bowl, and in-series five years had passed since "Super Bowl 100", this would make the show take place in 2071. Add 64 to 36 to get Super Bowl 100, which makes the year 2066 (2002 + 64), plus five years since Super Bowl 100 makes it 2071. In a tweet by creator Rob Renzetti, he confirmed that the show is set in the present day (I.E. 2002 to 2006, when the show was in production). Albeit in an alternate timeline where the world resembles what people of the 1930’s imagined that time period would look like. | |

Shapeshifter Baggage: Where on Earth does Jenny keep all those crazy gadgets? Possibly explained in "Victim of Fashion": Tuck is sifting through Jenny's arsenal and discovers an object that opens up into nowhere. Notably the inversion is averted, that episode also makes a plot point of the fact that Jenny can't make herself smaller or thinner. | |

First Injury Reaction: In the episode "This Time With Feeling", Jenny, annoyed at her inability to physically feel, reinstalls some old nerve receptors. Their pain setting makes her unable to fight Villain of the Week Himcules, both because of the debilitating effects of pain and because Himcules literally draws strength from hurting people. The problem is solved when the setting gets changed from "pain" to "tickle," and Jenny laughs at him until his strength drains. | |
