Robotomy	comment	Take the robotic idea of a New York Times Bestselling Children's Book author, add the creative juices of some of the geniuses behind Superjail!, and make it fit for primetime. What you get is Robotomy, a show about two teenage robots, Thrasher (voiced by Patton Oswalt) and Blastus (voiced by John Gemberling) and their attempts to get through high school and robo-teenage life. Taking place on a robot planet called Insanus, the cast of characters include a Sadist Teacher, Mr. Dreadnot (Dana Snyder), a homicidal Spoiled Brat, and a bi-polar Lethal Joke Character, Weenus (Michael Sinterniklaas). Something is destroyed every other second, and some of the jokes make you wonder if the series would have been better off on [adult swim].Only lasted one season of ten eleven minute episodes because of high production costs and a lack of foreign investment to balance it out (no one outside of the United States wanted to even touch it because the show's excessive violence and rude, suggestive humor would subject it to major censorship in other countries). The show now has somewhat of a cult following, and had an unsuccessful Facebook campaign to save the show.It aired on Cartoon Network. Specifically, right after MAD on Monday nights, since you wouldn't have known unless someone told you.The show did reappear on the short-lived revival of Cartoon Planet between 2012 and 2013 and the entire series was on Netflix until early 2015. On January 9, 2015, the series premiered on the Canadian version of Cartoon Network (not Teletoon; a Cartoon Network feed that's available in Canada).Watch the teaser.

There's a lot of dark humor surrounding the various robots getting dismembered or maimed, and there's no Gory Discretion Shots or anything. During production, the crew had to constantly be reminded that the show was airing in primetime, and warned them not to go too much into [adult swim] content.

We don't see any parallels between this and a special-ed class, do you? And it gets worse when Mrs. Crunshine reveals that her mission is to dispose of non-violent robots who burden society with their feelings by shooting them all into the sun. The "tonic" note a gross yellow slime that comes from a pipe down by the playground, smells and tastes like gasoline and feet, comes in jars, has pacifiers in it, and causes such lovely side effects such as tremors, childhood memory loss, terror daydreams, hacking cough, loss of limb control, and slime leaking from the eyes that the janitor gives Thrasher and Blastus so they can be mutilation ball stars is exactly like steroids or any other performance-enhancing drug (though there is no Drugs Are Bad moral to be learned from this, besides a quick one from Tacklebot about how "Real alpha dogs don't need to drink stuff that comes out of a pipe at the playground").

Robotomy / int_b53077b3	type	Take That!
Robotomy / int_b53077b3	comment	Take That!: "Frenemy" is a merciless parody of Facebook, Twitter, and social networking sites in general. On "No Child Left Benign," Blastus tells Thrasher that books are dangerous because his grandmother died from reading. The book she read before she died was about teenaged vampires. The Twilight Take Thats continue in another episode, where Thrasher is forced to watch a movie that shows the danger of plants. Instead, we get a robot version of Twilight and this line: Thrasher is forced to watch a video about talking trains. It ends up getting Thrasher thrown into a mental asylum.

Robotomy / int_bd3b726e	comment	Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: The essential part of the show. On Insanus, violence is the norm and robots with malfunctioning psycho-chips are essentially treated as special-ed kids and are disposed of via rocket into the sun due to not being violent enough by the planet's standards. Blastus painting a picture of his mom and him hugging is treated by his mother as filthy pornography. During school picture day, Blastus also laments about he's "cursed with beauty" instead of looking horrifying like Thrasher.

Though it makes sense since in Planet Insanus culture, robots are encouraged to be Ax-Crazy jerkasses. Any robot that is peaceful and kind is treated as clinically insane and ostracized, if not outright exterminated, as the episode "No Child Left Benign" establishes.
