Parents need to know that when he's angry, Robotboy's arms transform into guns, and he shoots robotic enemies in defense of his friends. The Japanese villain and his servant are portrayed as bumbling fools with exaggerated accents. While teamwork and friendship are embedded in the moral of each episode, the lessons are overshadowed by the show's action.
Positive messages:Robotboy's Japanese nemeses are victims of negative stereotyping.
Violence & scariness:Robotboy reacts to anger by fighting, and his limbs become guns to battle inanimate enemies.
Sexy stuff:Boy/girl relationships are alluded to in a playful, teasing tone.
Language:Kids use words like "butt" and call each other "stupid."
Consumerism:Characters spend their free time playing video games.
The show contains lots of violence, sex, language, consumerism, and so on, as bad as a NO KIDS show, book, film, game and so on. Tommy shows nudity when getting ready for school in one episode, and those children! They play video games, even rated M or AO. They might even watch Scanners (1981). EVEN worse than VeggieTales Presents: LarryBoy Adventures
My husband was watching this show for the first time with our boys at 10:00 in the morning -- I can't remember the episode -- and it cut to a scene with a news anchor caught off guard, not ready to be on the air because he had a HALF-NAKED woman sitting on the desk in front of him doing his makeup or something. And when I say half-naked, I mean anatomically correct, grown woman with a skin-tight tank top on and nothing else!! Her bare bottom was completely exposed. Can someone please tell me how this is appropriate for a children's cartoon?!?!?! Please do not let your children watch this.
