Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Roboroach is a Canadian Animated Series created by Canadian cartoon screenwriter J.D. Smith. It was released on Teletoon in 2002 and produced by Portfolio Entertainment (which would go on to make a couple other cartoons for Teletoon, like Carl² and Freaktown).The show follows Rubin "Rube" Roach (voice of Scott Thompson), a cockroach living in the insect-populated city of Vexburg, which is situated inside the walls of a laboratory. One night, Rube is caught by scientists and becomes a guinea pig for an experiment, wherein he had microchips inserted into his body. He is saved by his brother Reginald "Reg" Roch (voice of Ted Dykstra), but as they escape, Rube jumps into a wall socket and gets a nasty shock that changes him into a powerful cyborg cockroach called "Roboroach". Swearing an oath to never utilize his new powers for self-gain, Roboroach uses his cyborg implements to do all kinds of good deeds for the citizens of Vexburg while living with Reg, who is perpetually discontent with his brother's refusal to put his array of abilities for money-making purposes and desperately wants to be rich.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series ran from December 2nd, 2002 to June 22nd, 2004, and had two seasons with a total of 52 episodes. | |

Butt-Monkey: Reg, to the point of getting dissed in the theme song. It doesn't help that even when he wants bad things to happen to him, things don't go right. | |

Animation Bump: The animation in the theme song is much more fluid than in the show itself. | |

Born Unlucky: Reg always gets injured, inconvenienced, and screwed over, although some of it is his own fault. | |

Bragging Theme Tune: Of course Roboroach doesn't like to boast, the theme song does that for him. See the lyrics in the page quote. | |
