This is wild theory, but Adult Swim also used text to speech robot in their bumpers, so I think it could have resulted into controversial jinx if they would have kept Robot Jones' voice
I agree. This show deserves more better than Teen Titans Go. Teen Titans Go has lasted for 9 years & has never stopped. Cartoon Network should at least give Robot Jones one little chance.
The way Robot Jones should have always sounded. Not sure why the execs had a problem with the old voice. To me it sounded more fitting for the time period the show was supposed to be set in. I also thought it sounded funnier as well.
I friggin' miss Robot Jones! That was one of the Cartoon Cartoons CN shouldn'tve got rid of. I litterally cried while watching this.... R.I.P. Robot Jones 2000-2004
There actually was a RJ shockwave game! Its still accessible but probably cant be played on modern systems since shockwave isnt supported. It will still work on win xp tho.
I just fucking love this show to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ^.^ such a beautiful show.. My art/animation style is largely based off of this show! I still watch this show and I just can't stop! ROBOT JONES, You are an awesomely beautiful cartoon! I love it.. I just do... I would do anything to have this show back on TV!
the art style of the show really doesnt fit the era it's in... i mean,on some episodes the 2005 CN logo is there (I THINK it's 2005) and the art styles looks hand drawn like in the 90's and that's what makes it special
Hey guys? Remember back in late 2012 when there was a huge resurgence of interest in Robot Jones and everyone and their dog was uploading episodes to TH-cam, and then fucking CN took them all down? Yeah, that was some bullshit.
I might also note that RJ is supposed to be the most advanced robot in the entire world at this point in history, and it sounds like it's because of his ability to feel emotions and bond with humans so well (that is, AFTER they stop teasing, taunting, tormenting and flat out avoiding him.)
@@TechnoHajikelist Interestingly enough, the creator of the show made a joke about that possibly being the way things play out after Robot grows up. The character was originally supposed to be like a baby terminator, supposedly. However, imo, the character and tone of the show has evolved from that initial concept to the point that Robot turning on humanity as part of some dictatorship is too one dimensional and crude for him now. Robot's not traumatized by these kids like a lot of people exaggerate, he's just going through the usual ropes of surviving middle school. And he laughs it off, like he should. He's got a good support system in his friends and a sense of humor to get him through it.
@@kartoonfanatic makes you question if Robot was “evil all along” or was pushed too far by bullying humans and it resulted in annihilating the humans who kinda deserve it. Doesn’t help then principle heavily resembles Hitler.
No, man. You don't. You absolutely don't. It has been confirmed several times by now, that Cartoon Network don't know how to reboot their shows. Remember TTG? Remember PPG? These are absolute garbage. Sure, Samurai Jack came back in a good form, but that's Adult Swim, not Cartoon Network.
sweet baby💖 [adult swim] should revive this art, far away from CN, which would fuck it up in a heartbeat. [as] could use the handful of scrapped episodes fer the first few, and go on from there. this show had so much potential and coulda lasted much longer than it did, and I think it'd serve us gud now
Yeah, they changed his voice in all the episodes (including the pilot) with the little kid voice. I was pretty peeved and never really got used to it. But it's still one of my favorite childhood cartoons.
This show was awesome I loved it. It’s too bad they jerked it around. It’s like they air season 1 rerun it than it disappears from the schedule. Returns in reruns than gets a season 2. Season 2 gets aired than they can the show. It was awesome and I feel my love for dis show developed since it came out right when I was starting middle school.
I was 8 when this show came out and now I still remember this show I used to watch this show and eat popcorn and drink cherry kool-aid I miss this show
i was looking up old cartoon network pictures and found this robot, absolutely forgetting who he was, but remembering that the only episode I ever watched was the nightmare episode and it scared the childhood crap outta me ._.
I sadly only remember watching one episode of this on TV on the Cartoon Cartoon block in 2005. But, when I launched my Cartoon Network/Hub/Nicktoons, Robot Jones was one of the first shows to air.
mission for everyone. get a petition to make whatever happened to robot Jones come back on the air this mission will you choose to accept it? Everyone's PC will self-destruct in 10 seconds
Holy fuck i miss this so much god i love my life as a child when i have a kid i have to keep him away from tv ill just show him old shows like ed edd and eddy, robot jones, courage the cowardly dog
Robot Jones wasn't the final traditional cel thing on Cartoon Network, Kitty Bobo was the final Cartoon Network pilot to use traditional cel animation.
Man, I've been trying to remember the name of this show for a while. The only reason I remembered was because was watching adult swim and ya know how like they answer questions and have random comments about stuff well someone asked what ever happened to robot Jones and a.s said prolly dead or w/e. Lol. Good times
Can this be a real life video game plz? ? Lol love the way the principal is the boss fight.. and the backboard breaking reminded me of nba jam. RJ was one of my favorite shows.
actually, there is hope!! look in my favs!! there are 2 clips from old cn ads that have robot jones' old voice in them!! the 1st vid in the list contains a tiny clip from Pu to PE with his original voice!! :)
50% I want that game! 50% They should've kept Robot's text to speech voice Me: The short Yogman twin looks like Kaz from Puffy AmiYumi. Hey it's an already obscure cartoon.
I remember this show! Cartoons when I was a kid were good! Ed, Edd & Eddy, Tom &jerry, grim adventures of billy & mandy and sooo many more! I'm 18 but man, i look at CN now and i smh, cartoons suck now
I'm not saying this show was amazing or anything but it was pretty decent. It's sad that CN threw this show in the garbage it deserved to go on for another season or two.
Kids Next Door was the most overrated CN show, they constantly showed it in 02. CN focused more on KND than anything else, that's why a lot of good old shows fell into obscurity. And they ruined Robot Jones's voice on the second season with their "Hollywood" kid.
Well, not anymore. Given that CN removed the episodes. WHY?!?!?!?!?! But at least Robot Jones is a show can be found on our actual live streaming Cartoon Network/Hub/Nicktoons online channel.
Good question. No seriously. That's one of the mysteries of the show's plot (or maybe it's just a failure in the writing =P). According to Robot's mom, his job is to specifically study kids/teens. It's a little creepy. It sounds to me like Robot's some sort of unwilling govt. agent, and his whole family is made up of these "human data collectors," except his parents sound like they're nearly retired, while Robot's mission, as the youngest member of the family, has just begun.
I prefer the text to speech voice, it’s funny, it’s cute
I wish I could understand the text to speech voice.
Ikr
If they had kept it that way in the first place,they would've had more viewers.
Maybe that's a reason why they call the show like that? That's what happened to robot jones
This is wild theory, but Adult Swim also used text to speech robot in their bumpers, so I think it could have resulted into controversial jinx if they would have kept Robot Jones' voice
I love how this commercial has the feel of an 80s, 8-bit video game :D
Yeah
Type of games that Robot would play :)
This show took place in the 80s after all
cool, 8-Bit video game pixel game style
I wish they did a remake of this show.
It would be cool, but... Cartoon Network don't seem to know how to reboot things right...
Did you see OK KO let’s be heroes episode called Crossover Nexus that has him
I agree. This show deserves more better than Teen Titans Go. Teen Titans Go has lasted for 9 years & has never stopped. Cartoon Network should at least give Robot Jones one little chance.
@@JamButter123REALLYYY!?!?!???
@kennyvargas3536 agreed, this show is a classic and should be brought back from the grave of CN
the animation look like it came from schoolhouse rock
I thought so too.
It was inspired by it, plus the creator worked on it.
@headbuster103 I think that's what the artists and animators were going for
Whatever did happen to robot jones? I only seen it a couple times back then and never saw it again.
He got canceled.
Because Cartoon Network is ran by idiots.
The creator left cause CN changed it a lot.
CN has this thing about robots.
Pauljackson1988 well you are able to see him in OK KO let’s be heroes episode called Crossover Nexus
The way Robot Jones should have always sounded. Not sure why the execs had a problem with the old voice. To me it sounded more fitting for the time period the show was supposed to be set in. I also thought it sounded funnier as well.
I remember that old rubiks cube episode
Me Too
I friggin' miss Robot Jones! That was one of the Cartoon Cartoons CN shouldn'tve got rid of. I litterally cried while watching this....
R.I.P. Robot Jones 2000-2004
Me too!!! Im making the Animated Series called Tigger Wiggs Soon
i wish there was an actual robot Jones game
[NeckSweater] onion That's actually a great idea
[NeckSweater] onion I bet it would be on GBA, PS1, PS2, GameCube, and Xbox. Dreamcast as released as an independent title. lol
Or on PC.
There actually was a RJ shockwave game! Its still accessible but probably cant be played on modern systems since shockwave isnt supported. It will still work on win xp tho.
Well there was a flash game that I played in 2003 where his brain gets stolen
I remember watching this show long time ago man it was a good show
Same, and I would be repeating the word efficient dozen times and my dad would go apeshit.
Me too
Whatever happened to Whatever Happened to... Robot Jones??
The most fucking ironic name for a show ever.
Lmfaooo you're absolutely right.
They knew. They were prepared.
I just fucking love this show to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
^.^ such a beautiful show..
My art/animation style is largely based off of this show! I still watch this show and I just can't stop!
ROBOT JONES, You are an awesomely beautiful cartoon! I love it.. I just do...
I would do anything to have this show back on TV!

very true :)
***** yeah..
It was even bashed BY the network itself..
Why does CN hate robots?
Ethan And Friends Studios watch OK KO let’s be heroes has him in episode called Crossover Nexus
It makes me sad when I think about the second voice they gave robot jones.
Love the video game retro pixelated style
Hey guys? Remember back in late 2012 when there was a huge resurgence of interest in Robot Jones and everyone and their dog was uploading episodes to TH-cam, and then fucking CN took them all down? Yeah, that was some bullshit.
I love the Text to Speech voice for Robot Jones
0:21 Fitter, happier, more productive
Comfortable
Not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym
Three days a week

Because of the way humans treated him. It wouldn’t be a surprise that he’d snap and wipe them out.

Man, I really freaking miss the old cartoon network :(
the show ended on my birthday :|
ArtisticFreak and it was made close to my bday
so retro
I want a reboot of Robot Jones it was aired until 2002 to 2003 I wasn't even born yet when it was first aired I was born in 2004.
No, man. You don't. You absolutely don't. It has been confirmed several times by now, that Cartoon Network don't know how to reboot their shows. Remember TTG? Remember PPG? These are absolute garbage. Sure, Samurai Jack came back in a good form, but that's Adult Swim, not Cartoon Network.
That One Guy
That's because Samurai Jack got a revival instead of a reboot.
actually reeboots depend on who you put to create it ,ducktales was good because die hard fans of the original created it
have [adult swim] revive it then; beggars can't be choosers!
robot jones
omg i just saw this somewhere and it sparked my memory....goshhhh memories can lie dormant for years
sweet baby💖
[adult swim] should revive this art, far away from CN, which would fuck it up in a heartbeat. [as] could use the handful of scrapped episodes fer the first few, and go on from there.

to break robot jones heart 😢💔
Well that’s all she ever did on the series.
Yeah, they changed his voice in all the episodes (including the pilot) with the little kid voice. I was pretty peeved and never really got used to it. But it's still one of my favorite childhood cartoons.
How come this didn't join the Netflix lineup?! Seriously: what the hell, Cartoon Network.
WE WANT OUR ROBOT BACK! D: please! I really, truly, DEARLY miss this show and I want it back!
this is legit one of the coolest things I've ever seen
My Childhood
Omg, I remember this show XD
I was only a 5 year old when this was on.. :3
I remember this promo. Good times!
robot jones 12:03 cartoon network
I've NEVER seen this before!! OMG!! i remember when the show first aired with robot having the macintalk voice dammit!!
Old Cartoon Network Commericial - Whatever Happened To Robot Jones? Trailer Commerical (2002)
This show was awesome I loved it. It’s too bad they jerked it around. It’s like they air season 1 rerun it than it disappears from the schedule. Returns in reruns than gets a season 2. Season 2 gets aired than they can the show. It was awesome and I feel my love for dis show developed since it came out right when I was starting middle school.
PLEASE put this show on Netflix! I loved this show :)
Ard Nael CN doesn't have the rights since 2004 :(
I agreed put that show on Netflix
I looked all over for this game back in the day on Cartoon Network's website but was so disappointed when I found out it was only a trailer.
I was 8 when this show came out and now I still remember this show I used to watch this show and eat popcorn and drink cherry kool-aid I miss this show
Show was canceled wayyyy to early.
This show was so short lived in my country they only aired the first season on CN once. Very rare to catch some of the episodes, luckily i did.
This Is Nostalgic., I completely forgot that it existed.,
That 3D model at the end kicked ass
This popped in my brain today.
When I saw this commercial as a kid, I wanted it to be an actual game. It looked fun.
I'm still waiting.
I remember watching this show when I was a kid! I forgot the name of the show until now, though. xD
It would explain why he's so good at math.
i was looking up old cartoon network pictures and found this robot, absolutely forgetting who he was, but remembering that the only episode I ever watched was the nightmare episode and it scared the childhood crap outta me ._.
I was looking for this commercial. I think about that 8 bit jingle from time to time
Robot Jones disereves a reboot.
Is that NES music I hear?
Oh, I know that the NES has chiptune/8-bit type music.
True.
Sounds like Atari Pac-man sounds at the end.
This was the very last show to be animated on cels
I sadly only remember watching one episode of this on TV on the Cartoon Cartoon block in 2005. But, when I launched my Cartoon Network/Hub/Nicktoons, Robot Jones was one of the first shows to air.
Watch him in OK KO let’s be heroes episode called Crossover Nexus
Why am I watching a commercial for a forgotten cartoon in the middle of my Zoom class.
Loved that show
Me too!!!
LOL Man I remembered Robot Jones
really diggin into that 3d model.
I also like how we all grew up and started cussing lol. Tbh I miss the cartoon network 24h they used to have on Fridays
Would've loved a Robot Jones video game, maybe someday...
The original NEDS DECLASSIFIED
Pretty much all the season 1 episodes of the show are on TH-cam, and thanks to being short-lived, CN won't take them down.
Actually they will take 'em down. Happens all the time.
Cool promo 60's video game style
mission for everyone. get a petition to make whatever happened to robot Jones come back on the air this mission will you choose to accept it? Everyone's PC will self-destruct in 10 seconds
I too miss this show. I remember how much I hated it when they re-casted his voice.
equineiscool BECAUSE ALL KIDS SOUND LIKE MACKINTOSH JRS
I think it would be a good intro for Styx's Mr. Roboto tour
Holy fuck i miss this so much god i love my life as a child when i have a kid i have to keep him away from tv ill just show him old shows like ed edd and eddy, robot jones, courage the cowardly dog
Robot Jones wasn't the final traditional cel thing on Cartoon Network, Kitty Bobo was the final Cartoon Network pilot to use traditional cel animation.

I think I just had a nostalgia-gasm all over my keyboard.
oh so true, it all happened out of nowhere too, didnt they change his voice on the older episodes when they put the little kid voice too?
This was THAT SHOW
Fuck the new CN. THIS IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!!
We all failed the mission.
I love this cartoon called robot jones that stated in 2002
T.T I forgot about this show until I saw it on a photo on facebook. :'D
ROBOT JONES!
I remember when robot jones had the computerized voice and then it got changed :/
i loved this show
50% I want that game!
50% They should've kept Robot's text to speech voice
Me: The short Yogman twin looks like Kaz from Puffy AmiYumi. Hey it's an already obscure cartoon.
Anyone know how to make that robot voice using Audacity or anything?
I remember this show! Cartoons when I was a kid were good! Ed, Edd & Eddy, Tom &jerry, grim adventures of billy & mandy and sooo many more! I'm 18 but man, i look at CN now and i smh, cartoons suck now
I'm not saying this show was amazing or anything but it was pretty decent. It's sad that CN threw this show in the garbage it deserved to go on for another season or two.
There was the ATARI PAC-MAN death theme mixed unto the end
I wonder which NES game uses a theme like that?
Bro they should've made this game available
It's a shame this show had very short run.
So...
Whatever happened to Robot Jones?
No, for real.
Kids Next Door was the most overrated CN show, they constantly showed it in 02. CN focused more on KND than anything else, that's why a lot of good old shows fell into obscurity. And they ruined Robot Jones's voice on the second season with their "Hollywood" kid.
In my opinion, his original robot voice suit him way better than the little kid voice they gave him.
i guess we can ask this question now
Well, not anymore. Given that CN removed the episodes. WHY?!?!?!?!?!
But at least Robot Jones is a show can be found on our actual live streaming Cartoon Network/Hub/Nicktoons online channel.
0:17 Sounded like an evil ninja from Shadow Warrior choking.
Good question.
No seriously. That's one of the mysteries of the show's plot (or maybe it's just a failure in the writing =P). According to Robot's mom, his job is to specifically study kids/teens.

0:12 AAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The Atari 2600 Pac-Man death sound at 0:54
The show look like a fusion of mmfc and ed,edd and eddy,but I like it though
@themightyflee Same Here. I miss those days.
