History Trivia / Robotomy

** [[HilariousInHindsight Funny enough]], knowing how Cartoon Network treated has [[WesternAnimation/TimeSquad its]] [[WesternAnimation/WhateverHappenedToRobotJones other]] [[WesternAnimation/MegasXLR shows]] [[WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan involving]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Robotboy}} robots]], this comes to no surprise.
* TalkingToHimself:
** Dana Snyder voices Principal Thunderbyte, Mr. Dreadnot, the janitor of Harry S. Apocalypse High, three news anchors (as seen in the episodes "Play Date," "Field of Screams," and "Nana's Run"), and several one-shot characters.
** Creator/GilbertGottfried voiced all of the Tickle Me Psycho dolls in the fourth episode.

* NoExportForYou: This series holds the dubious honor of being one of the ''very'' few CN originals to not be broadcast anywhere outside of the United States [[note]] the other being WesternAnimation/{{Secret Mountain Fort Awesome}} [[/note]] because of the heavy amount of violence featured.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The series was basically dead on arrival due to Cartoon Network not seeing the point in pushing a show that no one outside the United States wanted to touch. The only reason this show did well in the ratings was from word-of-mouth, since the network rarely promoted the series outside of general Monday night line-up ads. It's not as bad as other shows that have been screwed over for whatever reason, but sadly, it wasn't enough to keep the show afloat. ''WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet'' did air some episodes, and Netflix has the entire series uploaded for those who may have missed it the first time around.

* OldShame: It would seem that Creator/CartoonNetwork isn't particularly proud of this show, seeing that they removed all evidence of its existence from their site. At least it was on ''WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet'' and Netflix for a bit, so maybe they're not totally ashamed.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Averted. Even though the show is cancelled and Cartoon Network got rid of all evidence that the show existed from their website (despite "Bling Thing" and "The Playdate" appeared a few points on ''WesternAnimation/CartoonPlanet''), it is available for viewing on iTunes, accessible through many torrent websites, and has recently had its entire season released on Netflix.

* HeyItsThatVoice:
** Frenemy is Jack [=McBrayer=] (Kenneth from ''[[Series/ThirtyRock 30 Rock]]'').
** Mrs. Crunchite (from "No Child Left Benign") and Megawatt's mom (from the series finale "To Wretchnya With Love") is Kate [=McKinnon=] (former cast member of Logo's ''The Big Gay Sketch Show''; current cast member of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''[[note]]she's ''SNL'''s first openly gay cast member since 1985, the first white lesbian the show has hired, and the first openly gay female cast member [while Danitra Vance was the first lesbian cast member ''SNL'' hired, she was a black girl and her sexual preference wasn't made known until she died of breast cancer in 1994][[/note]])
** Thrasher is Creator/PattonOswalt, Weenus is Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas, and Mr. Dreadnot, Principal Thunderbyte, the janitor, and the newscasters are all voiced by [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Dana "Master Shake" Snyder]]!
** Some of the guest stars include frickin' '''Creator/LewisBlack''' (as the Gore-Ax), '''Lisa Lampanelli''' (as The Green Spirit of Insanus)[[note]]in probably one of the few things she's been in where she doesn't make crude, racist jokes[[/note]], rapper Lil Jon (as Mayor Amputator and King Suckerpunch), and '''Creator/GilbertGottfried''' (as Tickle Me Psycho). If you've heard any of their stand-up on Creator/ComedyCentral, it's hilarious to find them associated with a kids' cartoon, even if it doesn't feel like one (though Creator/GilbertGottfried has appeared in kids' cartoons since the 1990s).

** Creator/GilbertGottfried voiced all of the Tickle Me Psycho dolls in the fourth episode.

* InvisibleAdvertising: It didn't get that much advertising when it aired, outside of being mentioned in commercials for the Monday night line-up, along with ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''Magazine/{{MAD}}'', and ''RegularShow''.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Only aired on Monday nights and was swiftly cancelled at ten 11-minute episodes. Can be contributed to [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar its content]] and expensive budget.
