''I Got A Rocket'' is an UsefulNotes/EmmyAward winning kids tv show airing on Creator/{{Kabillion}}. Simply put, like ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelousMisadventuresOfFlapjack'' was about how ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'' [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs made on drugs]], this series has quite a ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddparents''-esque feeling, only it's... weirder.

On his thirteenth birthday, teenager Vinnie Q gets the best present ever- a live, talking robot! He and his [[NamesTheSame new rocket, called Rocket]] become best buds and embark on a number of crazy schemes along with Vinnie's two other friends Gabby and Rainbow.

However trouble comes in the form of the three school bullies-known as The Duckies- who would do anything to get Rocket for themselves and are always happy to give Vinnie a wedgie.

* IdiotHero
* IdiotPlot
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja
* JerkAss: The Duckies of course, but Vinnie is no stranger to the trope. It is amazing how he still has friends after some of the stunts he pulls.
