* PhoneaholicTeenager: Katie in the trailer uses her phone for a lot of things, and Rick is a little annoyed he can't talk with her without her glancing at her phone. At one point, he tries to do so, only for her to film him and use a filter app to make him look like a cat. Aaron likewise seems to be headed in this direction, as shown when Rick tries to get the family to talk with each other directly for a few minutes and having to get Aaron to pay attention.

Added DiffLines:

* DysfunctionalFamily: Katie outright calls her family "THE WORST FAMILY OF ALL TIME" in the second trailer and [[BreakingTheFourthWall apologizes to the viewers]] for being humanity's only shot at winning the RobotWar. It is downplayed in that none of the family members ''hate'' each other. It's just that Rick and Katie fail to see eye to eye regarding the family's use of technology, which winds up fueling a lot of the family's disagreements.

Katie Mitchell, a creative outsider, is off to the film school of her dreams and can't wait to find "her people"... but, unfortunately for her, her dad, Rick, thought this would be the perfect time to take a road trip and help his family get away from their electronics and stay connected with each other. And unfortunately for THEM, the world's electronics begin rising up, leading to a world-saving plot for the family along with two friendly robots. Maybe, just maybe, they can finally learn to bond with each other...
