* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Reg was a kinder and more considerate in early episodes, and the endings were a lot more varied and even ''happier'' in some cases, than they would later become. Heck, Reg even receives money and ''doesn't lose it'' in "Rube Awakening", despite being asleep the whole time. Later episodes would always end in a YanktheDogsChain or a LaserGuidedKarma for Reg, with him always sobbing "Why me? Why all the time, me?" with slight variations depending on the episode.

Like his brother Reg (he's got all the edge).\\

* SadistShow: The fact that every episode ends with Reg sobbing and in some cases getting hurt right afterwards should clue you in. Some episodes just end poorly for him out of nowhere for the sole reason of giving him misfortune at the end.

* {{Kick the Dog}}: Even when Reg does the right thing, he still tends to get [[{{YanktheDogsChain}} screwed over badly]] for the sake of {{KafkaComedy}}.

* CanadaEh?: In the Christmas Special, Santa Claus has a thick Canadian accent.

* Catchphrase: Reg has "Why me? why me? Why all the time me?"

Roboroach is a Canadian AnimatedSeries released on Creator/{{Teletoon}} in 2002.

The show follows Rubin Roach, a cockroach living in the city of Vexburg, which is situated inside the walls of a laboratory. One night, Rubin was caught by scientists and become a guinea pig for an experiment, wherein he had microchips inserted into his body. He was saved by his brother Reginald, but as they were escaping, Rube jumps into a wall socket and gets a nasty shock, which changes him into a powerful cyborg cockroach called "Roboroach". Now Roboroach uses his powers to defend the city from all sorts of evil, while living with his brother Reg, who doesn't like living in their tiny house and wants to be rich.

The series ran from December 2nd, 2002 to June 22nd, 2004, and had two seasons.

* KindheartedSimpleton: Rubin's heart is definitely bigger than his brain.
