Controversy
Despite Robotboy being a television show intended for children, it has caused controversy in the United States and United Kingdom. This is especially due to certain words used by characters like Gus, Dr. Kamikazi and Tommy's older brother, such as "jackass". Although the words are often spoken by the modern generation, they are usually censored on television. Robotboy is probably the first youth-oriented TV show (in America, specifically) to use them. Two years after Robotboy last aired on Cartoon Network, Regular Show would air and like Robotboy uses curse words that aren't suitable for children's cartoons unlike that of South Park or Family Guy which are aimed at adults.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
