Dude, I totally remembered when cartoon network use to air that show but when years went by, the show stopped airing cause the producers who ran out of episode ideas so technically the show stopped airing then, however there's an amino community with a few friends of mine who are trying to keep the fandom alive
I always loved his transformation into his stronger form. Also, I remember the Robotgirl episode being adorable the way Robotboy seemed to like her. It’s definitely a show you can forget about but look back fondly at when you remember it
FINALLY, THIS SHOW IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES! It was such a huge fan of this, it was incredible. I literally loved it. I want more people to know it exists.
I remember one episode where Tommy and Robotboy were linked by a headband so that the former would copy the latter's movements in order to win in a fight against his bullies. But then partway through, Robotboy has to save the day against a villain (I forget who), and tommy's all by himself... but he's still convinced that Robotboy's there and does all these badass moves and wins in the end. Once he realizes that he beat them by himself, though, he passes out. Understandably so. I loved this show as a kid.
I Loved when Robotboy met his ‘brother’ Protoboy and how he tried his hardest to reform him and how he simply wanted his own brother like Tommy. It was a similar experience for me at school being an only child which made me wonder what it would be like to have a sibling.
I think this show is great, especially with the action scenes and relationship Tommy has with Robotboy! It’s a mix of badass and adorable :D I also really love Constantine, I always find it interesting when a villain’s sidekick isn’t as evil as them, or is even a friendly enemy to the heroes on occasion. I believe it was stated in one episode he was adopted by Dr. K and he threatens to take him back to the orphanage if he doesn’t carry out orders.
I remember as I kid, I loved super activated modes design. Scratched the itch that young kids have that love cool robots. Probably the same reason why I loved robotic sonic too.
You should do Atomic Betty next. I literally barely remember the show but the name POPPED in my head. And i think i remember it started to get some plot in later seasons or something
I remember it very fondly, and I'll be damned if I don't love all three of Robotboy's forms This show and My Life As A Teenage Robot still stand out to me as having a _pristine_ aesthetic And wow, kudos to you. This video was more informative and in depth than I expected
so like back in 2005 or 2006, as kid, I went with my parents to visit someone and at this time we didn't have that nice TV at home, but they did, and that was the time when I discovered CN and this was the first cartoon I've seen. And I instantly fell in love with it, so you can imagine how excited I was when I finally got CN at home and could watch the show. So yeah I definately have some memories with the show.
Very underrated series I watched it and it was pretty good I like the characters (except Gus) and it was a show that was sort of brutal in its take downs like Robotboy straight up machine guns enemies.
Self-aware badass battle robot built by japanese scientist does cute and badass things while trying to be like a real human. What's not to love about this show. It was a breath of fresh air in comparison to other shows back in 2005. VERY underrated and definitely worth watching. Glad I grew up with this. Loved this show.
8:56 To be fair the Mega Man comparisons are completely warranted, Proto Boy is so similar to Proto Man that Capcom would probably have a legal case if they wanted.
Honestly given the premise it seemed to be at best a loose interpretation of Mega Man with a western spin, and at worst a ripoff more so than than when compared to My Life as a Teenage Robot or Robot Jones.
@@denniswilliams6519 Mega Man is also in turn loosely inspired by Astro Boy, so it seems a bit odd to single out Robotboy for being a "ripoff". Is it highly original? No, but then all these series are working off the same tropes anyway.
Robotboy while rather standard and flawed in many regards, was still a rather interesting show. I'm always a sucker for characters that have different forms. It was always hype as heck whenever that music kicks in and Robotboy goes from this SMOL little friendly robot to this silent but imposing TOWL robot that will kick your teeth in if you mess with him and his friends! XD
I remember liking the character's art style, specially the one from Robotboy. But there was always something I never quite enjoyed from it, and now that I remember, is how everyone treats the main character, I always felt bad for that kid for always dealing with a lot of stress, trauma or harassment and noone never addressed this theme?
Yeah not only where there villains but school bullies. His brother bullies him too and his dad seem to not like that his son isnt stereotypically "manly". On top of that he has Gus as a "friend"?
I just remembered that tommy turnbull parody that consisted of satirical tweets, being horny on main, and memes. Eventually it became a vore fetish dump.
@@GaskyChan omg his dad is a big issue! Even watching this show when i was 9 confused me because of the toxic masculinity that the father has, also the dynamic between the parents wasn't so... The father for some weird reason didn't like when tommy spend time with his mom because she was "making him soft" but the mum was good and probably was the only emotional support for tommy but she wasn't really helping with anything just talking and stepping back
I felt/feel exactly the same! The art style was pleasant but I felt some sort of unease and distance or rigidness from the show, and it was for the reason you just described. The whole setup/world felt unfair and cruel it gave a similar feeling if the main character was an orphan.
I used to love Robotboy so much, yesterday I remembered him once again and decided to watch some episodes. And gosh the nostalgia I felt, his super activated designs is such a big hit I love it Great show, fun to watch, great characters and cast, truly amazing experience Hoping to see a comeback of him one day, like a movie or special episode
Nice to hear you mention the games made for Sky TV. Playing those games (using a TV remote to control!) is a fun memory that I and other people from the UK have as children.
As someone from Ireland I got hit with a wave of nostalgia when he mentioned Sky Games I still remember the music jingle that played in the Home Screen to this day.
I like Robotboy's design and concept, the humor in the show was very hit and miss for me and sometimes the jokes were just inserted in strange circumstances. As an adult I can definitely see why Robotboy's speaking pattern was seen as problematic. I think this show needed more of an overarching story behind the episodic nature, because at the core, the inspiration from Astro Boy/Megaman could've been used to its advantage. It just didn't do enough with the foundation to me.
I would argue Dr. Kamikazi was more problematic than Robotboy himself. His name especially is problematic given WHAT a Kamikazi pilot in WW2 was... It'd be like having a Middle Eastern supervillain called Dr. Jihadi. Basically the same thing.
I very vividly remember Robotboy and Gus's voices, all throughout this video they kept playing in my head lmao. Also, Tommy being shaped like Mac from Foster's always stuck out to me.
As a kid for me this stood number 1 on cartoon Network as the best show and will always be the best part of my childhood, i remember every time he would transform into his mega form it would be so badass. I hope kids growing up now and in the future somehow stumble upon this masterpiece.
I haven't noticed that as a kid, but hoo boy, the artist really liked Genndy Tartakovsky, didn't they. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I love his artsyle as well.
I thought I was the only who knew about this show, I remember watching this back in the day, and I thought it was alright. Tommy's character design was very reminiscent to Mac from Foster's Home imo. Also, there were kids meal toys that were released in March 2007 through Hardee's in the Middle East.
I may not clearly remember the premise of this show. But I used to watch it regularly back when I was like 5 or 6. And I recall that I used to draw Robotboy among others often back then. Because aside from it being relatively easy to draw, it's 'coz the character design is just adorable. This video really brought back lot of memories. Simpler times indeed.
I've never watched this guy before, but for some reason the breaks in-between segments are so nice like, why does no one else do this? It gives time to digest the info and a clear move to a new segment. Absolutely genius.
The artstyle of this show I realized influenced my style a lot- I remember not seeing the show when it aired- but discovering it on YT when I was still a bit young after it ended. This and My Life As A Teenage Robot are still two of my go-two childhood comfort cartoons.
Also, thank you for bringing up the production details regarding the differences between seasons/series, I've never liked how many people lump the two seasons together as the same entity, when really, they aren't, as they have quite different standards and styles. Charlie Bean RB strived for a good blend of action and comedy, slick animation sequences and higher stakes, while Bob Camp and Heath Kenny RB strived for comedy over action, simpler, slower-paced animation and reletively lower stakes to have more focus on comedy. While they still did action-oriented episodes, like the Protoboy ones, which are notable for focusing more on drama than the majority of the series, they usually didn't hit the same level of action as the first series. According to Jan Van, Bob wasn't interested in action and preferred doing comedy.
This is a better review than Mr. Enter's review of Robot Boy. You had the most informative video of Robot Boy on RUclips. Thank you for this wonderful video.
I was able to catch this show a handful of times when it first came out in my region's CN. It didn't last very long there, but one time it even got a marathon and I was able to watch it! Really enjoyed it for sure. Dr Kamikaze constantly screaming "Constantine!' (in my regional dub ofc, this one being latin Spanish) was one of the most memorable parts to me
Loved robot boy and teenaged robot but robot boy left my mind after middle school and teenaged teenaged robot after high school. Love how this channel sparks memories of watching cartoons with my dad.
Yes! The Life and Times of Juniper Lee! I've been wanting to rewatch that for so long, just cause you mentioned it, I'm actually going to binge watch it after this
Wasn't it the French version that gave Robotboy's super activated form a voice? I know that something like that existed. I loved Robotboy. It was one of my favorites. CN wasn't wrong when they assumed that the show had potential. It really did. It's the behind the scenes drama that ended it too early.
I absolutely love Robotboy! I discovered the show in 2018 and I’ve watched it ever since. I had a few rough times in my middle school days and this show helped me get through those tough times. I’ve practiced Robotboy’s voice for a few years now (I want to be a voice actress when I get older) and I can do his voice pretty well. I love everything about this show, the voice acting, the characters design, the color pallet, even the music. Fun fact: Robotboy even has an official RUclips channel. Anyway, Robotboy will forever be my favorite animated series and will forever be in my heart. 💙
Loved robots as a kid. All sorts of them. Even took stem classes in high school and was on a robotics team. Though my passion for medicine outweighed my passion for engineering. I was like 7 or 8 when this aired and every episode made me hope I could grow up to be a robot boy lol.
Fun Facts, my dads nephey made& Drew this show. I asked my grandma to please please beg him for a drawing/signature. I got it like 2 years later and he wrote my name wrong lmao, the drawings still in my room. It's him at 9:40
Oh my god there have been so many shows I watched when I was younger that I don't remember until they're mentioned/shown to me and robotboy has been shoved so far back, I have no idea why but the moment the villains popped up on screen I immediately remembered everything
@@JordanFringe94 Thanks to your channel, I manage to heal my inner child a lil bit more. I can't say thank you enough times to you bro. Keep up the good stuff man 👍
I used to love Constantine as a kid, kind of my pseudo favourite character because he was an evil sidekick with a good heart. Loyal but compassionate. Constantine needed more love from the show than he got
Robotboy is #5 on my list of favorite animated television series. However, while I only watched it casually when it was on television, it was watching the episodes on RUclips that really made me a fan. Something tells me Robotboy is more suited as a web series than as a television show. But then why is it so high on my list? Well, two reasons. First of all, I love the animation style. I think this is the show where I got my style for my own animation work. I really like square haeds and styles that make kids look cute. And that provokes my second reason; Tommy Turnbull. Tommy is my favorite character on this show. Not only does he look cute, but he has plenty of compassion for Robotboy. I had to pause multiple times while watching the show so I could see his cute face. As for the action, while I am more interested in Tommy's cuteness, I cannot deny that Robotboy's transformation powers are interesting. And anyone who brings up comparisons to Astro Boy or My Life as a Teenage Robot, well, Teenage Robot is on my list of favorite series too, and Astro Boy joins Pokemon and Beyblade on my list of favorite anime shows. I guess I just love the concept of a robot who wants to be a real person. Sure, I could complain about Gus being selfish, or how there is more gas humor than I could care for, but I have come to get used to those problems quickly. I would gladly watch Robotboy multiple times, and that gives the show a high spot n my favorite television list.
What joins Robotboy in my top five favorites, you ask? Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Chowder, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and another European cartoon: The Amazing World of Gumball.
Honestly it made me watch so even if it was inspired by other shows similar, it was to me different and made in a way where i would continue to watch and laugh! It brought back good memories of the weekends where i was able to watch cartoons as my father had "the big channel pack" just for me to watch non stop every other weekend :)
I remember seeing a few episodes of Robotboy growing up, I often got it mixed up with Nickelodeon's My Life as a Teenage Robot, which I don't blame myself for doing so, still glad to hear it still holds up. Hopefully a revival of sorts could happen, things have been weirder these days.
I did remember about Robotboy, It used to be one of my favourite series along with Ben 10, but boi oh boi did I forgot how freaking cool SuperActivated mode looked, thanks Jordan, you just brought back a childish smile to my face!
Also the reason that Gus is like that to my knowledge is that his parents are more old fashion and he never really gets to do much so he rebels at Tommy’s house
Dude, me and my sister were just talking about robotboy a while ago. It suddenly went under the dust including other shows like foster home, code lyoko and etc. Didn’t expect this video at all on my recommendations.
Anyone remember Chaotic on 4Kids? I watched this so much as a kid and feel like it was super slept on with all the TCG shows that were going around. Even rewatching it now I still think it holds up, would be awesome to review it :)
Gus was simply the worst. Evil and always getting away with treating his friends and strangers like garbage and not facing the consequences of his actions.
all those shows you listed at the beginning i had no idea they all started around the same time, those were like my favourite shows as kid!! that a very good year, for cartoon boys!!!
I remember how yt recommended an episode of robotboy when i was a kid and i instantly loved it, its so sad to know the show got cancelled, robotboy’s super active form is so badass and their osts bang too I would die to see a robotboy reboot
Dude, your channel keeps hitting me with all the nostalgia. Bless you. Personally, what hyped me up as a kid with Robotboy was whenever he turned into his battle form.
![Blox Fruits Dragon Rework Update [Full Stream]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EqDAp8udhm0/mqdefault.jpg)
Thanks so much for watching, how do you feel about Robotboy? Let me know!
Remember it like it was yesterday

Robot Boy was a show that looked cool, but barely watched as a kid. I'm grateful for your quest on rediscovering forgotten gems. 💎
I love Robotboy It's one of my favorite childhood shows
Loved it 🥰
I loved this show as a kid. It was a beautiful mix of Astroboy and My Life as a Teenage Robot.
Do you remember super robot monkey team?
@@estera-of-irithyll holy shit, blast from the past, I don't remember much but I remember it was a good time
Yes
@@estera-of-irithyll hyper force GO!
@@estera-of-irithyll you have to say the whole name Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go!
I always loved his transformation into his stronger form. Also, I remember the Robotgirl episode being adorable the way Robotboy seemed to like her. It’s definitely a show you can forget about but look back fondly at when you remember it
By stronger it is called superactivated
Superactivation was badass, and the fact that it wasn't a Robotboy-only ability, every robot had it's own version of it.
@@DynoSkrimisher such as robotgirl, and protoboy
0:30 when cartoon network was goated🥺
FINALLY, THIS SHOW IS GETTING THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES!
It was such a huge fan of this, it was incredible. I literally loved it. I want more people to know it exists.
I watched it as kid too, loved it
Same!
All of us
@@lostwisdom4462 Same
I think this way about Static-X

I loved this show as a kid.
that was pretty badass lol
@heavyweapofr lol
I think that was in the episode "Fight"
Because He was intimidated that is why he didn't know he had it in him espically
Tommy Turnbull looked so badass man I would like more fanfiction of Tommy Turnbull from robotboy and other TV shows crossovers
As someone who is Irish, the mention of sky games immediately gut punched me in the nostalgia and I miss that service.
I am Irish too and I remember sky games as well, I played a few of those robot boy games when I was younger
....is it wrong that I heard Jackscepticeye's voice in my head as I read your comment?
@@Elven_Gamer Your not the only one lmfao. but dam i completely forgot about sky games f*, the nostalgia hits different
I’m also Irish and I miss Sky Games so much such a fun part of my childhood.
I miss PlayJam too (also Irish)
I Loved when Robotboy met his ‘brother’ Protoboy and how he tried his hardest to reform him and how he simply wanted his own brother like Tommy. It was a similar experience for me at school being an only child which made me wonder what it would be like to have a sibling.
As someone with 6 siblings not fun
He basically stopped trying to do so when PB did something to Tommy.
dude that episode has imprinted on my memory so hard and actually made me appreciate my sisters more
Wait... "Protoboy" ? Like Megaman brother Protoman ?
I guess that a megaman reference
Tbh, pros and cons to having siblings. You love ‘em, you hate ‘em, it’s annoying but fun.
Robot Boy is like a mix of Mega Man, Astro Boy and My Life as a Teenage Robot.
I think my brain can’t function so many ppl are relating mlaatr with dis I’m leaving this crap for murder drones 😭😭😭
Exactly, that's it.
I think this show is great, especially with the action scenes and relationship Tommy has with Robotboy! It’s a mix of badass and adorable :D
I also really love Constantine, I always find it interesting when a villain’s sidekick isn’t as evil as them, or is even a friendly enemy to the heroes on occasion. I believe it was stated in one episode he was adopted by Dr. K and he threatens to take him back to the orphanage if he doesn’t carry out orders.
I mean I did prefer the Starscream type villain where the minion is more evil and cunning than the main villain and is most likely to overthrow them
@@yiwoon_cr8s That's a fun type to follow as well!
Constantine, if he weren't working for his evil boss, probably would be the best guy around.
@@JustCallMeHeavy Couldn't agree more!
I thought this show was a fever dream, i couldn't believe this show actually exists and me finding it out made me feel good
This is the era of cartoons I was old enough to remember best. Absolutely loved Robot Boy, and Ben 10 is probably my favourite cartoon of all time.
You know ball
I hardly remember this show but as always you've unlocked memories I forgot I had. Great video!
Same!
Facts
@Eduard Iacob same
I can feel old neurons reconnecting again lol.
I remember as I kid, I loved super activated modes design. Scratched the itch that young kids have that love cool robots. Probably the same reason why I loved robotic sonic too.
Super Mario Bros. Z (the sprite animation)'s iteration of mecha sonic makes me fear it when I see it even though it's a weak boss in S3&K
man, as a kid i used to have a crush on Robotboy's super activated mode XD idk
You should do Atomic Betty next. I literally barely remember the show but the name POPPED in my head. And i think i remember it started to get some plot in later seasons or something
I vaguely remember Atomic Betty
I remember I had a small crush for Betty as a kid, so I'll wait patiently for that video.
The theme song for that show still randomly pops into my head every now and then.
Holy shit amazing suggestion
Great suggestion.
I remember it very fondly, and I'll be damned if I don't love all three of Robotboy's forms
This show and My Life As A Teenage Robot still stand out to me as having a _pristine_ aesthetic
And wow, kudos to you. This video was more informative and in depth than I expected

Glad I grew up with this. Loved this show.
Makes me sad my stupid 10 year old ass completely ruined it for me
Astro boy 2003 and partly Mega Man did
8:56 To be fair the Mega Man comparisons are completely warranted, Proto Boy is so similar to Proto Man that Capcom would probably have a legal case if they wanted.
Not too mention both being a blue robot lol.
There's also Robotgirl as Roll, the doctors as Light and Wily. Even Robotboy's battle mode can be a nod to Mega Man's special from Marvel vs Capcom.
Honestly given the premise it seemed to be at best a loose interpretation of Mega Man with a western spin, and at worst a ripoff more so than than when compared to My Life as a Teenage Robot or Robot Jones.

may robotboy rest in piece as it hangs on a thread in the big world of tv network. Robotboy was one of those shows who could make us cry

This and Samurai jack were my favorite old cartoon networks shows. Both will forever have a place in my heart.
Loved robot boy and teenaged robot but robot boy left my mind after middle school and teenaged teenaged robot after high school. Love how this channel sparks memories of watching cartoons with my dad.
Yes! The Life and Times of Juniper Lee! I've been wanting to rewatch that for so long, just cause you mentioned it, I'm actually going to binge watch it after this
Wasn't it the French version that gave Robotboy's super activated form a voice? I know that something like that existed.
I loved Robotboy. It was one of my favorites. CN wasn't wrong when they assumed that the show had potential. It really did. It's the behind the scenes drama that ended it too early.
I watched the french version. From what I can remember, the best he could do was grunting...
@@chrispambo1539 I just saw a clip. He does speak in the French dub.
I absolutely love Robotboy! I discovered the show in 2018 and I’ve watched it ever since. I had a few rough times in my middle school days and this show helped me get through those tough times. I’ve practiced Robotboy’s voice for a few years now (I want to be a voice actress when I get older) and I can do his voice pretty well. I love everything about this show, the voice acting, the characters design, the color pallet, even the music. Fun fact: Robotboy even has an official RUclips channel. Anyway, Robotboy will forever be my favorite animated series and will forever be in my heart. 💙
I saw this thumbnail and a memories unlocked in my brain,
Thanks for this video bro
I loved robot boy. Soo underrated in my opinion. 😭
I loved Robotboy as a kid, hell i used to binge watch that show all time when i was a teenager!
Loved robots as a kid. All sorts of them. Even took stem classes in high school and was on a robotics team. Though my passion for medicine outweighed my passion for engineering. I was like 7 or 8 when this aired and every episode made me hope I could grow up to be a robot boy lol.
You needed to combine them ! Medbots !
@@Gatorade69 They need to create Baymax!
Fun Facts, my dads nephey made& Drew this show. I asked my grandma to please please beg him for a drawing/signature. I got it like 2 years later and he wrote my name wrong lmao, the drawings still in my room. It's him at 9:40
I love drawing robotboy at the back of my notebook before when I was still in elementary because of how simple to draw him.
Oh my god there have been so many shows I watched when I was younger that I don't remember until they're mentioned/shown to me and robotboy has been shoved so far back, I have no idea why but the moment the villains popped up on screen I immediately remembered everything
For me it was seeing that transformation
I discovered your channel today, and you managed to unlock so many childhood memories of mine. Amazing work dude 👏
Thanks so much for watching!
@@JordanFringe94 Thanks to your channel, I manage to heal my inner child a lil bit more. I can't say thank you enough times to you bro. Keep up the good stuff man 👍
I used to love Constantine as a kid, kind of my pseudo favourite character because he was an evil sidekick with a good heart. Loyal but compassionate. Constantine needed more love from the show than he got
No but i remember the mom
😂😂😂😂
FOR what
She got Thiccxar level hips

Being an enjoyer of My Life As A Teenage Robot, Robot Boy was an instant favorite. Wished both shows had gone on longer.
@@starfighterz7112 OH I know!
Robotboy was my childhood,It was on Cartoon Network in the UK where I’m from until 2016
Ah nice! One of my favorite shows I enjoyed watching back when it was on Cartoon Network back then. Thanks for covering info on this show.
Robotboy is #5 on my list of favorite animated television series. However, while I only watched it casually when it was on television, it was watching the episodes on RUclips that really made me a fan. Something tells me Robotboy is more suited as a web series than as a television show. But then why is it so high on my list? Well, two reasons. First of all, I love the animation style. I think this is the show where I got my style for my own animation work. I really like square haeds and styles that make kids look cute. And that provokes my second reason; Tommy Turnbull. Tommy is my favorite character on this show. Not only does he look cute, but he has plenty of compassion for Robotboy. I had to pause multiple times while watching the show so I could see his cute face. As for the action, while I am more interested in Tommy's cuteness, I cannot deny that Robotboy's transformation powers are interesting. And anyone who brings up comparisons to Astro Boy or My Life as a Teenage Robot, well, Teenage Robot is on my list of favorite series too, and Astro Boy joins Pokemon and Beyblade on my list of favorite anime shows. I guess I just love the concept of a robot who wants to be a real person. Sure, I could complain about Gus being selfish, or how there is more gas humor than I could care for, but I have come to get used to those problems quickly. I would gladly watch Robotboy multiple times, and that gives the show a high spot n my favorite television list.
What’s ur top 5
What joins Robotboy in my top five favorites, you ask? Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Chowder, The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack, and another European cartoon: The Amazing World of Gumball.

@@DiegoDiaz-rs4ejI think we’re long lost brothers…
This show (like a lot of animated shows) deserved more than what it got
Robotboy was my absolute favorite show. When he went into his super mode I would always lose my mind! 😂😅 I loved the theme!
Honestly it made me watch so even if it was inspired by other shows similar, it was to me different and made in a way where i would continue to watch and laugh! It brought back good memories of the weekends where i was able to watch cartoons as my father had "the big channel pack" just for me to watch non stop every other weekend :)
I remember seeing a few episodes of Robotboy growing up, I often got it mixed up with Nickelodeon's My Life as a Teenage Robot, which I don't blame myself for doing so, still glad to hear it still holds up. Hopefully a revival of sorts could happen, things have been weirder these days.
I did remember about Robotboy, It used to be one of my favourite series along with Ben 10, but boi oh boi did I forgot how freaking cool SuperActivated mode looked, thanks Jordan, you just brought back a childish smile to my face!
I just found one of your vids in my recommended and now I realise how much of these I watched as a kid and then completely forgot about them.
I loved this show. It was one of my all-time favourites next to Tom & Jerry and Juniper Lee. Damn I miss those days
I'm so glad their's a more positive review of this show. A ton of youtubers are way harsher on it.
@@starfighterz7112 ReviewYaLife is the only other relatively known user who did a good review of this show.
Also the reason that Gus is like that to my knowledge is that his parents are more old fashion and he never really gets to do much so he rebels at Tommy’s house
the way you pronounced jan van rijsselberge was pretty funny. great video, loved robotboy when i was a kid
Dude, me and my sister were just talking about robotboy a while ago. It suddenly went under the dust including other shows like foster home, code lyoko and etc. Didn’t expect this video at all on my recommendations.
Anyone remember Chaotic on 4Kids? I watched this so much as a kid and feel like it was super slept on with all the TCG shows that were going around. Even rewatching it now I still think it holds up, would be awesome to review it :)
I remember that show existing. I remember having watched a few episodes when it came on. But I can't for the life of me remember what it was about.
Can't remember something I never forgot 💙 especially wishing all the years that the outro music of the show had an extended version.
I miss this 2000s animation style, it was so nostalgic and I hope it makes a retro theme return
This channel reminds me that I've watched a lot of cartoons more than I remember
This channel is just me seeing that the random memories I have from when I was real young were real memories and not my imagination
Oh the Nostalgia,I remember watching this.
Gus was simply the worst. Evil and always getting away with treating his friends and strangers like garbage and not facing the consequences of his actions.
Gus the type of MF who pretends to have Down syndrome for the paralympics
Robotboy: Cartoon Networks answer to My Life As A Teenage Robot
I’m so glad I found this video, been asking my friends if they remembered the show and none didn’t
all those shows you listed at the beginning i had no idea they all started around the same time, those were like my favourite shows as kid!! that a very good year, for cartoon boys!!!
Two things that I remember vividly from this show. That kickass super activation theme...and Tommy's mom.
You know why.
I remember Robot Boy. Keep up the great content Jordan.
I appreciate the support, thanks so much!
@@JordanFringe94 You're welcome!
it was a truly underrated show from Cartoon Network
I remember how yt recommended an episode of robotboy when i was a kid and i instantly loved it, its so sad to know the show got cancelled, robotboy’s super active form is so badass and their osts bang too
I would die to see a robotboy reboot
Dude, your channel keeps hitting me with all the nostalgia. Bless you. Personally, what hyped me up as a kid with Robotboy was whenever he turned into his battle form.
Jordan you really hit me in the core memories with this one
This was a great show to watch as a kid. It was a shame it didn’t stay as long as it could have.
I liked this cartoon. Watching the episodes on youtube brought back nostalgia. Also you said "professor Moshima". It's Mashimo.
it's Moshimo, it can be sounded out and said both ways by characters throughout the show with more or less emphasis on making the o sound like an a
@@JordanFringe94 My bad. Thought it was mashimo. They really should've corrected the actors when they made those mistakes.
It's all good, they do the same with Kamikaze in this show and I mention that later on in the video since it was more noticable lol
This show got me through a lot of rough phases growing up, so it holds a special place for me.
i feel like im gonna cry because robotboy is no longer in youtube now and he is my fav old cartoons :(
Oh my god the nostalgia. I adored this show. It's probably one of the biggest reasons I'm in love with sci fi and robotics to this day
