The former member of [[{{Music/Nsync}} *NSYNC]]. You know, the fat one.
----
* AllYourPowersCombined: Joey harnesses the powers of the other *NSYNC to grow to the [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever Britney]] [[BodyHorror Abomination]]'s size and fight her.
* AndZoidberg: The {{Yakuza}}s sent to murder the *NSYNC don't even recognize him as a member of the group.
* ContinuityNod: He will appear sometimes wearing the karate costume from "[[Film/EnterTheDragon Enter the Fat One]]", despite no reference made to karate.
* GroinAttack: Given one by Franchise/HelloKitty, [[BewareTheNiceOnes of all characters]].
* HeroInsurance: He is not accounted for all the damage done to the city during the fight with the Britney Abomination.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He snatches Anime/MazingerZ's detaching punch-missile and redirects it against him.
* HumanPopsicle: During his training, he is frozen in a duel and broken in a thousand pieces. [[UnexplainedRecovery Then comes back like nothing happened.]]
* IAmNotSpock: He calls Creator/PatMorita "[[Film/TheKarateKid Mr. Miyagi]]" before being corrected.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Uses the urban infrastructure to fight the giant Britney, finishing with using a broken telephone pole to stab her in the heart.
* InterchangeableAsianCultures: "Enter the Fat One" mixes references to Chinese and Japanese media and culture freely.
* ItsPersonalWithTheDragon: He wants to take revenge on the {{Yakuza}} for killing his friends. It turns out that the Yakuza were hired by Britney Spears to kill Music/REOSpeedwagon, but they [[MistakenIdentity mistook]] them with the *NSYNC for some reason.
* {{Kaiju}}: Parodied at the end of "Enter the Fat One", when he becomes a giant to fight the equally enormous Britney.
* MistakenForServant: The Yakuza assassins spare him because they mistake him for an errand boy.
* NeckSnap: Delivers one to kill WesternAnimation/HongKongPhooey.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After the other *NSYNC are killed by Yakuzas, he trains to be a karate master and avenge his friends.
* OffWithHisHead: He is decapitated during his training. [[UnexplainedRecovery Then he is back to normal]].
* OneHitKill: Kills [[Franchise/GIJoe Storm Shadow]] with one punch to the heart.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Storm Shadow is surprised and excited to see that Joey has the same tattoo on his arm as him. However, Joey kills him before he can say anything.
* {{Pun}}: "Enter the Fat One" is a continuous pun based on the similarity between Fatone, Fat One (as Morita calls him), and Dragon.
* SelfDeprecation: Fatone voiced himself in a sketch that makes fun of his weight and supposed lack of importance to *NSYNC, the group that made him famous. And he accepted to do that in the first season, without having any idea of how ''Robot Chicken'' would turn out.
* SoleSurvivor: Of the Yakuza hit on the *NSYNC.
* TookALevelInBadass: Becomes a karate legend in "Enter the Fat One".
* TrainingFromHell: Undergoes it in order to avenge his friends.

A rather unflattering portrayal of [[Creator/LindsayLohan the disgraced child actress]].
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Calls Munson a bad boy and falls instantly in love with him.
* AndZoidberg: When she's revealed to be part of the ''{{Series/V}}'' invasion troops, she's trusted to... [[YouGetMeCoffee carry a cup of coffee]]. [[TooDumbToLive Which she immediately drops]]. She's then told to do anything she wants.
* BreathingInSpace: She flies through space without a suit at the end of "There can be only one Lohan" (a.k.a. [[{{Film/Highlander}} Highlohander]]).
* BulletproofHumanShield: Acts as an involuntary one for the Gummy Bear in "Beginning Season Five".
* CrossDressingVoices: Voiced by Breckin Meyer, who is actually a man.
* TheDitz: Portrayed with varying grades of stupidity.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: After winning "the Gift" in "There can be only one Lohan", she makes Earth explode and flies away to party with aliens in outer space.
* FanDisservice: Besides being a doll, she's portrayed as crash, vulgar, constantly drunk or insane, taking out any appeal from her curves and revealing outfits.
* FieryRedhead: Definitely at play in "There can be only one Lohan". Later iterations portray her more as stupid than fiery... but interestingly, that's after she dies her hair black and [[DumbBlonde blond]].
* {{Flanderization}}: From a CloudCuckooLander with a violent streak in her first sketch to suicidally stupid by the ''V.'' parody.
* FourthDateMarriage: In "Bad Boy meets Damaged Girl with Daddy Issues", Munson moves in with her and her family and impregnates her between airings of her reality show, apparently.
* HeroInsurance: During the first duel in "There can be only one Lohan", she destroys an office without [[ApatheticCitizens the officinists]] caring at any point.
* HiddenDepths: She can fight with a two-handed sword (courtesy of her TrainingFromHell with Ramirez), and she [[NoFourthWall understands]] what the "Beginning Season Five" sketch is about from the beginning.
-->'''Gummy Bear''': Oh, who's even shooting at us?!
-->'''Lindsay''': It's just a metaphor for season five, stupid!
* LadyDrunk: She chucks entire bottles down. But the worrying part is that she behaves the same when she doesn't.
* LoveAtFirstSight: She falls in love with Munson after seeing him (or seeing that he is a "[[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boy]]"). Munson comes across as more opportunistic.
* {{Malaproper}}:
** Just read the quote (given while assaulting enemy trenches in "Beginning Season Five").
** In "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion", she scolds the police for their lack of knowledge of ''Geography''... when she obviously means Biology.
* MonumentalDamage: After killing Creator/AmandaBynes in "There can be only one Lohan", she destroys the Hollywood sign while receiving "The Gift".
* OffWithHisHead:
** Obviously done in "There can be only one Lohan", as it is a parody of ''Highlander''.
** In "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion", she thinks that being a lizard implies the [[ArtisticLicenseBiology ability to regrow a head]], and procedes to remove her own herself to demonstrate. [[RealityEnsues She kills herself instead.]]
* PantyShot: Gives a (blurred) one when she gets a BridalCarry by Munson.
* PottyFailure[=/=]ToiletHumor: In "Bad Boy meets Damaged Girl with Daddy Issues", she defecates in Daniel's family's backyard during a drunk bender. They assume it's her dog, and she does not correct them.
* {{Pun}}: While being shot in "Beginning Season Five", she names her movies (''Film/{{The Parent Trap|1998}}'', ''Film/MeanGirls'', ''Film/HerbieFullyLoaded'', ''Georgia Rule'') before ending with ''Film/IKnowWhoKilledMe''.
* {{Reptilians}}: In "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion", she appears as one of the alien LizardFolk invaders.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: "Bad Boy meets Damaged Girl with Daddy Issues" gives her sister and mother the same [[ActingForTwo voice]] and personality. By the end of the sketch, they all become pregnant at the same time.
* TheyCallMeMrTibbs: While driving a speeboat in "[[Series/HannahMontana Hannah Dakota]]", she insists on being addressed as "Captain Lohan".
* TooDumbToLive: Taken to extremes in the ''V.'' parody, where she is seen hitting a chair with her face for no reason, and then removes her own head in a futile attempt to prove that reptiles can regrow heads.
* TookALevelInBadass: "There can be only one Lohan" reveals that she was trained in swordsmanship by Ramirez from a young age. She avenges him, receives "the Gift", and promptly destroys Earth.
* TrainingFromHell: Her sword training in "There can be only one Lohan", done while she was filming ''The Parent Trap''.
* YouGetMeCoffee: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] in the ''V.'' spoof, where she is trusted to ''hold'' a cup of coffee, then to do whatever she wants when she fails to do even that.

----
* AllYourPowersCombined: In "Enter the Fat One", she fuses herself with Music/ChristinaAguilera, Music/AvrilLavigne, Music/JessicaSimpson and Music/AshleeSimpson to become the giant {{Kaiju}}-like "Britney Abomination" and kill him.
* AndZoidberg: She doesn't consider Ashlee Simpson worthy of any introduction besides "Jessica Simpson's Sister" and tells her to shut up because "adults are talking".

* BuriedAlive: At the end of "Enter the Fat One".

* EarlyBirdCameo: Spears was already spoofed in a 1999 ''Robot Chicken''-esque stop motion short by Seth Green, years before the series proper began.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: She shrugs when she drops her baby to its death while driving a spaceship in "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion".
* {{Kaiju}}: The "Britney Abomination", which she transforms into when combining with other pop stars.
* DecapitationPresentation: Santa Claus decapitates her and brings her head to the Coca-Cola executives when they suggest replacing him with her as their mascot.
* {{Gasshole}}: One of the ''Bloopers!'' programs show her lighting up her farts in the company of her boyfriend.
* LethallyStupid: She carries her baby on her lap as she drives a spaceship without a covered cockpit, using the safety belts for her only. She then flies upside down, apparently trusting the baby to remain in place somehow. Obviously, the child plummets to its death.
* NoodleIncident: It is never explained why she hates and wanted to murder REO Speedwagon.
* {{Reptilians}}: She is revealed to be one of the invaders in the ''V.'' spoof.
* TheEndOrIsIt: The parody of TheStinger in "Enter the Fat One" reveals that she's actually BuriedAlive and is clamoring for vengeance against Fatone.
* UnfinishedBusiness: After being told that the Yakuza killed the *NSYNC by mistake, she says she has this with REO Speedwagon.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He snatches Anime/MazingerZ's detaching punch-missile and redirects it against him.

* InterchangeableAsianCultures: "Enter the Fat One" mixes references to Chinese and Japanese media and culture freely.

[[caption-width-right:213:''"Darth Vader, who farts in Heaven... Halloween be the name!"'']]
-->'''Voiced by''': [[CrossDressingVoices Breckin Meyer]]
A rather unflattering portrayal of [[Creator/LindsayLohan the disgraced child actress]].
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Calls Munson a bad boy and falls instantly in love with him.
* AndZoidberg: When she's revealed to be part of the ''{{Series/V}}'' invasion troops, she's trusted to... [[YouGetMeCoffee carry a cup of coffee]]. [[TooDumbToLive Which she immediately drops]]. She's then told to do anything she wants.
* BreathingInSpace: She flies through space without a suit at the end of "There can be only one Lohan" (a.k.a. [[{{Film/Highlander}} Highlohander]]).
* BulletproofHumanShield: Acts as an involuntary one for the Gummy Bear in "Beginning Season Five".
* CrossDressingVoices: Voiced by Breckin Meyer, who is actually a man.
* TheDitz: Portrayed with varying grades of stupidity.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: After winning "the Gift" in "There can be only one Lohan", she makes Earth explode and flies away to party with aliens in outer space.
* FanDisservice: Besides being a doll, she's portrayed as crash, vulgar, constantly drunk or insane, taking out any appeal from her curves and revealing outfits.
* FieryRedhead: Definitely at play in "There can be only one Lohan". Later iterations portray her more as stupid than fiery... but interestingly, that's after she dies her hair black and [[DumbBlonde blond]].
* {{Flanderization}}: From a CloudCuckooLander with a violent streak in her first sketch to suicidally stupid by the ''V.'' parody.
* FourthDateMarriage: In "Bad Boy meets Damaged Girl with Daddy Issues", Munson moves in with her and her family and impregnates her between airings of her reality show, apparently.
* HeroInsurance: During the first duel in "There can be only one Lohan", she destroys an office without [[ApatheticCitizens the officinists]] caring at any point.
* HiddenDepths: She can fight with a two-handed sword (courtesy of her TrainingFromHell with Ramirez), and she [[NoFourthWall understands]] what the "Beginning Season Five" sketch is about from the beginning.
-->'''Gummy Bear''': Oh, who's even shooting at us?!
-->'''Lindsay''': It's just a metaphor for season five, stupid!
* LadyDrunk: She chucks entire bottles down. But the worrying part is that she behaves the same when she doesn't.
* LoveAtFirstSight: She falls in love with Munson after seeing him (or seeing that he is a "[[AllGirlsWantBadBoys bad boy]]"). Munson comes across as more opportunistic.
* {{Malaproper}}:
** Just read the quote (given while assaulting enemy trenches in "Beginning Season Five").
** In "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion", she scolds the police for their lack of knowledge of ''Geography''... when she obviously means Biology.
* MonumentalDamage: After killing Creator/AmandaBynes in "There can be only one Lohan", she destroys the Hollywood sign while receiving "The Gift".
* OffWithHisHead:
** Obviously done in "There can be only one Lohan", as it is a parody of ''Highlander''.
** In "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion", she thinks that being a lizard implies the [[ArtisticLicenseBiology ability to regrow a head]], and procedes to remove her own herself to demonstrate. [[RealityEnsues She kills herself instead.]]
* PantyShot: Gives a (blurred) one when she gets a BridalCarry by Munson.
* PottyFailure[=/=]ToiletHumor: In "Bad Boy meets Damaged Girl with Daddy Issues", she defecates in Daniel's family's backyard during a drunk bender. They assume it's her dog, and she does not correct them.

* {{Reptilians}}: In "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion", she appears as one of the alien LizardFolk invaders.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: "Bad Boy meets Damaged Girl with Daddy Issues" gives her sister and mother the same [[ActingForTwo voice]] and personality. By the end of the sketch, they all become pregnant at the same time.
* TheyCallMeMrTibbs: While driving a speeboat in "[[Series/HannahMontana Hannah Dakota]]", she insists on being addressed as "Captain Lohan".
* TooDumbToLive: Taken to extremes in the ''V.'' parody, where she is seen hitting a chair with her face for no reason, and then removes her own head in a futile attempt to prove that reptiles can regrow heads.
* TookALevelInBadass: "There can be only one Lohan" reveals that she was trained in swordsmanship by Ramirez from a young age. She avenges him, receives "the Gift", and promptly destroys Earth.
* TrainingFromHell: Her sword training in "There can be only one Lohan", done while she was filming ''The Parent Trap''.
* YouGetMeCoffee: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]] in the ''V.'' spoof, where she is trusted to ''hold'' a cup of coffee, then to do whatever she wants when she fails to do even that.

[[folder:Britney Spears]]
[[quoteright:210:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rcspears.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by''': Seth Green
The former teen pop star, and person whom Seth Green presumably hated the most before transferring his sights to Lohan.

* AndZoidberg: She doesn't consider Ashlee Simpson worthy of any introduction besides "Jessica Simpson's Sister" and tells her to shut up because "adults are talking".

* BuriedAlive: At the end of "Enter the Fat One".

* EarlyBirdCameo: Spears was already spoofed in a 1999 ''Robot Chicken''-esque stop motion short by Seth Green, years before the series proper began.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: She shrugs when she drops her baby to its death while driving a spaceship in "V: The Celebrity Rehab Invasion".
* {{Kaiju}}: The "Britney Abomination", which she transforms into when combining with other pop stars.

* {{Gasshole}}: One of the ''Bloopers!'' programs show her lighting up her farts in the company of her boyfriend.
* LethallyStupid: She carries her baby on her lap as she drives a spaceship without a covered cockpit, using the safety belts for her only. She then flies upside down, apparently trusting the baby to remain in place somehow. Obviously, the child plummets to its death.
* NoodleIncident: It is never explained why she hates and wanted to murder REO Speedwagon.
* {{Reptilians}}: She is revealed to be one of the invaders in the ''V.'' spoof.
* TheEndOrIsIt: The parody of TheStinger in "Enter the Fat One" reveals that she's actually BuriedAlive and is clamoring for vengeance against Fatone.
* UnfinishedBusiness: After being told that the Yakuza killed the *NSYNC by mistake, she says she has this with REO Speedwagon.
