One of the things the REBOOT writers liked to do was to point out all the things they couldn't do because of the network's Broadcasting Standards and Practices (BSP). For example, you could not have a character break through a glass window because kids might try to do that at home. So, Bob sorta morphed-oozed through a window with the BSP command.
The best one of these moments was with Enzo and his pet dog. Enzo had a bazooka and fired it at the bad guys. Big no-no with BSP, as kids should never be firing guns. Instead of explosives, a rubber raft popped out - the S.S. BSP, according to the name written on the side of the raft - and inflated.
Of course, the network BSP didn't say anything about dogs using bazookas. So the dog picks up the same bazooka, fires it at the bad guys, and it shoots off rockets which mows the enemy down.
