* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: When Jenny tries to activate her chip during the day, it breaks, causing reality in her eyes to resemble the world of Creator/DrSeuss crossed with Roman mythology. In particular, she sees Tuck and later Brad as goat men.

Added DiffLines:

* EmotionEater: Himcules's impressive strength comes from causing emotional pain to others. He takes advantage of this by using his strength to act like a total {{Jerkass}} to anyone around him, bullying others into giving him what he wants or making them do humiliating tasks. [[HoistByHisOwnPetard This however proves to be his undoing]], as after Jenny's ticklishness allows her to laugh off his attacks, the rest of the city follows suit by laughing at Himcules for losing to a girl, causing his muscles to deflate and reducing him to a "90-pound weakling".

Added DiffLines:

* TickleTorture: All three variations are shown.
** FriendlyTickleTorture: After getting her nerve endings installed onto her body, Jenny thoroughly enjoys the sensation of being tickled throughout the episode. Once they're removed by the episode's end though, Jenny manages to keep one tickle spot to herself, under her armpit.
*** Additionally at the start of the episode, Brad and Tuck engage in a tickle fight, but when they try this on Jenny, she just stands there confused until they realize that as a robot, Jenny is built without physical feeling.
** AccidentalTickleTorture: Doubles as downplayed TickleTorture, but during Jenny's rematch with Himcules once her nerve endings are set to tickle, every time Himcules tries to cause her pain by hurling objects at her, all it does is intensify the tickling that Jenny feels (which she doesn't mind...)

* ArtShift: Jenny gets a hold of some software that allows her to dream, which she eventually abuses to work while she's awake. Each of her dream sequences has a rather large art shift, from Greco-Roman style to even more 1920s than the show was to begin with to - of all things - [[Creator/DrSeuss Dr. Seuss]].

Added DiffLines:

* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Enforced and justified. The nerve set only has two extreme settings, "PAIN' and "TICKLE". Even the slightest touch of a paper sheet is enough to set them off.

* HydrantGeyser: Brad uses this method to short-circuit Jenny and disable the dream chip. He tricks her into zapping a fire hydrant, which she views as a tree stump in her dream mode. The tree stump produces flows of candy, which Jenny tries to eat, resulting in her being short-circuited, as in reality, said candy is water.

'''This Time With Feeling'''

'''Original air date:''' 11/21/2003 ''(produced in 2002)''

Jenny's desire to know what it's like to actually feel physical contact leads her to steal a set of artificial nerves from Dr. Wakeman. The nerves, however, have only two extreme settings: tickle and pain.

!! "This Time With Feeling" contains examples of:
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: The bodybuilders in "This Time With Feeling" have the heads of Film/TheThreeStooges.
* FeelNoPain: Being a robot, Jenny is impervious to pain, the only time she's capable of feeling it is when she tries on a set of nerves that Dr. Wakeman scrapped.
* IndestructibilityMontage: After her mechanical nerve endings set to "PAIN" allow her to get pummeled to near-defeat by Himcules, Jenny is finally able to gets them set to "TICKLE". Confused that she can now take a hit and laugh, Himcules tries to crush her with larger and heavier objects, but Jenny is totally undamaged by them and keeps on laughing.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Himcules' speech pattern, which may or may not have been a calculated insult.
