comment |
Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? is an animated series created by Dexter's Laboratory storyboard artist Greg Miller which pays affectionate homage to the middle-American culture of late 1970s and early 1980s.Set in an alternate history where robots have become a major part of society, the world's most technologically advanced robot, named "Robot Jones," is given the task to attend a human junior high school to understand humanity. Along the way he befriends a trio of boys named Socks, Mitch, and Cubey, and develops a crush on a nerd named Shannon, whose Braces of Orthodontic Overkill and prosthetic leg make her look robotic. However, lurking in a secret base in the school air ducts, there are the Yogman Twins, two evil brothers that wish to steal Robot's brain and use it to control the minds of everyone in the school.The show was one of the finalists in the the "Voice Your Choice" event in 2000 where viewers voted on their favorite pilots for new shows. It lost out to The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (under its original name Grim and Evil, back when it aired along its eventual spinoff Evil Con Carne) and while it did eventually go to series, the network gave it very little support or promotion. ...Robot Jones became the very last of Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoonsnote Not counting when Evil Con Carne was eventually spun off into its own series. and, along with the network's other shows that debuted at the beginning of the decade, ended up being one of its briefest, airing from 2002-2003 with 26 episodes made but only 13 aired in America. Whatever happened, indeed.Of note, this was the final western animated show to be animated with traditional cels (Ed, Edd n Eddy lasted longer, but transitioned to digital ink and paint halfway through its run). |

Covered in Kisses: Robot Jones, Mitch, Socks, and Cubey get covered in kisses from the girls near the end of "Garage Band", much to their amusement. In "Popularity", Shannon decides to show Robot her new watermelon lipgloss she bought for their date by applying it to her lips and giving him a big smooch on the cheek. When she leaves, Robot turns his cheek to the screen, revealing a giant pink lipstick mark. |

No Biological Sex: The episode "Gender" focuses on Robot's quest to discover what gender he is, exactly, since he has no sexual characteristics to speak of. (Despite fraternizing with boys and having a crush on a girl, it appears that Robot is not actually male-identified and only goes along with binary classifications for social reasons.) |

Downer Ending: "Cube Wars" has Robot Jones losing the Wonder Cube competition because the Yogman Twins cheated by swapping two stickers on his cube. To make things all the more aggravating, the very end of the episode has Robot Jones see Lenny and Denny taunt him while on television. "Jealousy" ends with the android foreign exchange student Finkman returning to Austria without facing any comeuppance for his haughty ways and Shannon hating Robot Jones because she blames him for Finkman's departure. |

The foreign exchange Austrian robot kid Finkman (yes this is how his name is spelled) was such a arrogant ass to Robot and even admitted he was "stealing Robot's woman", his behavior tempted to make Robot defy his programming to fight another robot but before anything happens Finkman was for unknown reasons being sent back to Austria which leaves Robot confused and the other boys in class cheering for Robot for they too hated Finkman... not before successfully making Shannon hate Robot for thinking he's the reason why Finkman has to go back to Austria. The only lesson Robot learned for his data log entry is he hates Finkman! Finkman also apparently stole government documents at some point. |

Orwellian Retcon: Robot Jones's second-season voice change was applied to the first season by redubbing the episodes, upsetting the fans that preferred his original voice. According to creator Greg Miller the Cartoon Network executives thought the voice sounded "too weird" and wanted to go more "Hollywood." He did robot dialogue for all eps but some of them were never properly mixed into the second season episode. There was a rumor that Apple threatened to sue for using the software without their permission, but it wasn't true. |

*Cough* Snark *Cough*: In "Gender", Robot and his friends pretend to cough over remarking "girl" when they make fun of their classmate Jamie for getting home economics as his elective. |

The Nudifier |
| | Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones? / int_ddac33c8 |
comment |
The Nudifier: The vaccum cleaner in the episode "Vacuum Friend" when it vacuums the dress off of Robot's teacher Miss Rucoat's body, implying that she's either naked or in her lingerie exposed in front of the classroom with two boys sitting next to Robot enjoying the sight of their exposed female teacher before she screams "ROBOT JONES!!!" and pointing to the detention room. Also counts as Stripping Snag. |

Jerkass: Lenny and Denny Yogman are always causing trouble for Robot Jones. Most of the other human characters tend to be rude and inconsiderate to Robot as well. |

Coin-on-a-String Trick |

comment |
Coin-on-a-String Trick: Cubey uses the "coin on a string to snag away from machine at the last minute" trick while at Nob's Arkaid in the episode "Vacation". Mitch is shown using the coin-on-a-string trick in "Hookie 101" as a solution to the gang being tricked out of most of their money before arriving at the arcade. |

Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness: Lenny Yogman sometimes demonstrates a large vocabulary, even insulting Cubey and Mitch by saying that they have very low intelligence quotients instead of simply saying they are stupid. |

comment |
Creepy Twins: The Yogmans are an unusual example in that they are fraternal twins (normally, creepy twins seen in many a TV show or movie are identical). They're still pretty unsettling and sinister, though. |

Depending on the Writer: There isn't a consistency regarding how Shannon feels about Robot. Sometimes she has nothing but contempt for Robot, as in "Jealousy", and sometimes she is shown to be on good terms with him, as in "House Party". |
