Dallas & Robo, an animated science-fiction comedy created by Michael John Roberts, premiered on YouTube Red on 30 May 2018. YouTube Red was the video platform's paid subscription service, later rebranded as YouTube Premium. The eight-episode series was also made available on the YouTube channel of WWE, the wrestling company.

The show followed Dallas, a space trucker voiced by actor Kat Dennings, and Robo, a cowboy-hat-wearing artificial-intelligence robot voiced by wrestler and actor John Cena. Roberts, who also directed, had earlier worked on animated series including F Is for Family. Shadowmachine, the studio known for BoJack Horseman, produced the series.

YouTube Red had announced the order in August 2017, as the service expanded its slate of original comedy. The series was one of the best-known projects Roberts led as a creator, which is why it is recalled in coverage of his career following his death.
