Teenage Robot vs. Puberty (Hostile Makeover Retrospective)

[@r4ckharder.]

I honestly love Jenny so much, she is such an interesting character with an interesting backstory and her personality is absolutely amazing, I love mlaatr!!!

[@calemlinke773]

computers do have puberty. they act up as soon as they get into it. we just don't stick around long enough for progression. that's what kills so many phones and tablets, people don't have much temperament and throw away the acting up adolescent machine. I advise you to let it slide for a while until you find out for yourself. let them age, you'll see.

[@DangerousArmyGuy]

It's actually a hole in Jenny's belly where her belly bolt was, not her chest. But this was one of my first MLAATR episodes as well. Kinda wish the Nanobot got to return, maybe in a new form or something. And late reply, but happy anniversary to MLAATR also.

[@Driftking0311]

I love that episode. Imp, Hostile makeover tells the story of how teenagers are though puppetry. Happy 19th anniversary of mlaatr.

Rest in peace Eartha Kitt ❤

This is actually the very first MLaaTR episode I ever watched, it was from the Nick Picks Vol. 1 and that is when I fell in love with the series, lmao

This was one of the only 3 episodes of this show when I watched it on the air as a kid in 2005. The other 2 were Sister Sledgehammer and Saved by the Shell.

[@burdbeek864]

YES, my favorite episode, AND the appearance of Monke Jenny! And who could forget Nano! Awesome video today!

Brad: That night came the honeymoon... (The music plays as Jenny watches in awe) Tuck: EWWWWWW !!! (Tuck covers his eyes in disgust) Dr. Nora Wakeman: (Sarcastically) She's faking it.

[@MBeastModeZ0]

(5:59) This explanation reminds me of the first episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, Help Wanted. Fun fact, Tom Kenny (SpongeBob) had a helium tank and inhaled some of the helium inside it to voice the anchovies.

Imagine what would happen if a virus infected Jenny

Eartha Kitt really did have the perfect female villain voice, and let's not forget, she was also Catwoman on the Batman TV show back in the 60s (yes, that one with Adam West.) Seeing her introductory scene again and hearing the line, "We are legion," reminds me of a story in the New Testament of Jesus healing a demon-possessed man. When He asks the demons for a name, "We are legion" is their answer. (For those who don't know the rest of the story, Jesus casts out the demons and sends them at their request into a nearby herd of pigs, who promptly run down a hill and drown in the water below.) And seeing how the plot of this episode is akin to demon possession (like "Return of the Raggedy Android" was), it actually fits the episode quite well. I know Rob Renzetti is a big horror fan, so I almost wonder if he or someone else in the crew was familiar with that Bible story. (I'm not really into horror myself, but I know the story because I'm a Christian and have read through the Bible multiple times.) Jenny didn't actually burn down the school in "Class Action"; the Crust cousins did that by making her malfunction, hoping that Jenny would get blamed. (But by the end of the episode, they're eventually caught and outed as starting the fire.) And lest anyone forget, happy anniversary to the rest of the fanbase! One more year and it will be 20!

[@MyLifeasaTeenageRobotFanbase]

Very excited for the 20th!

@@MyLifeasaTeenageRobotFanbase Are you planning anything for it?

[@MyLifeasaTeenageRobotFanbase]

We’re talking that out now actually. I have some ideas for what we can do, but I have a feeling that Rebooted will be the one to drop a bombshell that day.

[@hotwax9376]

@@MyLifeasaTeenageRobotFanbase That's very possible, but they've been working on it for so long that I don't have much faith in them to get it completed.

Here we are, once again! First: Video is Great! I’ve been waiting a while for this one of all things! Now, thing I’ve even doing when I not making videos: So, I think that when it comes to these episodes, I love to look back at them and expand on them in the stories I’ve been making for what I call, “The Total Control Series.” Jack, you did say that it’s weird that Nora built Jenny as a teenage robot and somewhat regrets it. I’ve made that import to what I’ve been working on. Revealing possible reasons for why she does this, along with contribute a little to the Fanbase Hypothesis. But there is one important factor about villains in my fan made series that stand out. That is the idea that they dig deep into the whole idea that Jenny is her own weakness! As many of these bad guys end up tormenting her over it, along with villains even greater than Vexus ever will be, if she even was evil in her own accord(Wink Wink Hint Hint). Also, I do like the idea that Vexus is not the best mother around, and you turn attention to Vega, that funny to me!

[@MyLifeasaTeenageRobotFanbase]

Glad you enjoyed the video! I have a lot of fun picking apart the implications of episodes of the show, and I can assure you that the Fanbase Hypothesis will continue into season 2!

[@KGTstudios]

Wait! One last thing! There’s someone called Bumblemus Prime! He’s made a bunch of MLAATR and Transformers movies these past two years! You can check them out if you want! The story might get you hooked, that’s what matters! I made like four playlists of them by the way, and I have no idea why, other than I’m fascinated by it all!

[@KGTstudios]

@@MyLifeasaTeenageRobotFanbase I look forward to every piece of it!

Happy 19th anniversary Mlaatr

[@RyneMcKinney]

3:55 During this scene, the teacher is talking about the "Axolotl", which is brought up again during the Gravity Falls ending where Bill Cipher spells A-X-O-L-O-T-L and says, "My time has comes to burn, I invoke the ancient powers that I may return" backwards. Rob Renzetti worked on that episode too. I have failed to see anyone make that comparison so I might as well mention it here.

[@christopherrichards2350]

This is my favorite episode of Teenage Robot.

[@arandomworm8713]

Finally! A worthy video, your content will be legendary

[@TheAikatsuFan]

A theory: Jenny (XJ9) is a teenage robot because making it a kid would be too dumb and an adult would be tiring at 35-63

[@zigaudrey]

How a robot can smell thing? Is this an electromagnetic smoke? 5:11 Haha! 7:34 This woman is suspicious. 8:00 She acquire a tongue.

[@Thechevyman24]

Happy birthday Jenny 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈

[@Monhamd1000]

To answer that: Yeah, no, it's better when you not think about it.

[@chughes6034]

About Jenny saying "crikey", maybe she was a Crocodile Hunter fan. That's who usually comes to mind when I hear that word. RIP, Mr. Irwin.

[@fishapiller]

Love this show and love your channel

[@adamtain7627]

Some things I’d never understood how could Jenny cough around the green smoke despite she’s a robot and can’t breathe and why didn’t she just fly away from the smoke?

Eartha Kitt did more than just Isma from the emperors new groove, she was also the original Catwoman in the Batman 1970s series… Or was it the early 60s? Either way and she's done more voices than that but yeah she is awesome as izma and vexes!🤩 Doesn't inspector gadget always say wowsers as as catchphrase?

[@blub148]

I like how Jenny is just being controlled by everyone sometimes

[@transformersfan500okane3]

6:27 how ironic I was watching the Transformers movies while discovering this show back in 2018

[@Redfern42]

Concerning the seeming contradiction about her feeling pain... The episode about the "touch" nodes, well, those were external sensory inputs, something Nora Wakeman may have considered nonessential, maybe even a detriment for a robot designed for combat and other hazardous activities liking plunging into a raging fire to save a person. But feedback for critical damage, especially vulnerable internal systems, that would be quite beneficial, shoot arguably necessary. At least, that's my personal rationale for the two episodes.

[@AlexsStopMotionAdventures]

Fun fact: this is a adaptation of a level in the big chungus video game featuring the fat rabbit named big chungus

[@dianasmile2518]

2:46 that's because she is a CUTE dangerous robot! 😊

[@princesskenny4239]

Cool video

[@AbbytheaxolotlYT_]

This would have to be my least favorite episode ALSO I JUST REALIZED THAT SHE FEELS PAIN EVEN THOUGH SHE DOESN'T?! (Also the first thing that happens when it bites one if the wire actually represents PERIOD PAIN!!!! trust me; IT HURTS 😭 "both the pain and the episode" ) also how did I not know that she had bunny slippers?

[@Webbeyx]

Good vid

[@alexsohan9013]

Never seen this episode in Romanian. You know why? Because they thought the theme would not be right.

[@dianasmile2518]

She might caused a fire but it was Brit and Tiff's fault, they made her malfunction.
