- For the Swedish singer, see Magnus Carlsson
Robin is a cartoon created by Swedish cartoonist Magnus Carlsson and narrated by Dave Avellone. The cartoon runs for 5 minutes an episode. It first aired in 1993. It is about an unemployed bachelor named Robin who in his early 20s and his friend Benjamin, who drinks most of the time. Neither seem to really do anything constructive with their lives, preferring instead to mostly lie around. When they do venture into the world, they are likely to encounter drunks and flashers, or get into trouble with the authorities; and when they stay at home, they can still try to dodge the military draft!
Paranoid Android
Radiohead saw Robin on Channel 4 and approached Magnus Carlsson to make a video for their song "Paranoid Android" with Robin in it. 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 repeatedly. During the video of Paranoid Android, the band make a cameo appearance at a bar, where they are sitting at a table drinking and watching a person with a head coming out of his stomach dancing on their table.
