Short summary

Roughly-drawn, narrated cult cartoon about a teenager and his friend, who don't seem to really do anything constructive with their lives, preferring instead to lie around - a bit like Beavis & Butt-Head, but without the nutty humour, TV or rock music. When they do venture into the world, they're likely to encounter drunks (whom they'll probably kick in the head) and flashers, or get into trouble with the authorities; and when they stay at home, they can still try to dodge the military draft!

Members of Radiohead saw Robin on "Channel 4" and approached Magnus Carlsson to make a Robin video for their song Paranoid Android. Carlsson accepted and came up with the original idea for the video after locking himself in his office, staring out the window at a bridge and listening to nothing but Paranoid Android over and over again.

Where Robin lives is never revealed, but according to the "Sometimes Life Gets A Little Weird" video, Robin lives in "Big Town". This town is also shared by the kids television show Brum (1991), about a car with a mind of its own. This is probably coincidence.

Magnus Carlsson makes all the music for this show. In one episode a slower, slightly different version of the theme from Lisa (1998) plays.

The hamburger shop frequented in the show is called McMagnus.
