Line 13: Robert's other main role was in "Daria Dance Party," when [[Kevin]] and [[Brittany]] go through a temporary break-up. Kevin makes the other football players agree not to date her, but Robert had been on vacation at DisneyWorld and did not know this rule, so Brittany invites him in order to make Kevin jealous. The two have a bad time - first because Kevin wasn't around to ''get'' jealous and then when Brittany finds out from her friends he dances like "a big geek" - though Robert tries to console her. ("I got you the wrong color corsage, didn't i?") However, when Kevin finally arrives Brittany begins kissing Robert, inflaming Kevin's jealousy and making him attack Robert. The latter seems to win the fight, as the episode ends with Kevin being taken to the hospital. In "Murder, She Snored", Robert (along with the rest of the team) cheats on a History test and covers for Kevin, who stole it. He seems unbothered about getting an F. ==Personality and Interests== Line 24 ⟶ 26: Predictably, per the TV series, he often calls Daria "Darcy" and says "ma'am" to all women. His primary interests seem to be football, dating girls from the Fashion Club, and screwing up to provide comic relief. [[Alternate universe]] versions of "The New Kid" will feature him, naturally.

Occasionally he is called upon as a romantic figure - dating Daria again in [[Dennis]]' "[[Turnabout Confusion]]", dating a fed-up [[Stacy]] in [[~~Canadabrit~~Canadibrit]]'s "[[The Look-Alike Series]]" story "Display Model", dating Quinn in [http://web.archive.org/web/20110916021103/http://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic/lawndale_living_conditions.html Lawndale Living Conditions] & [http://web.archive.org/web/20110519151224/http://outpost-daria.com/fanfic/week_of_hell.html Week of Hell] by [[Thomas]] - or as an ally to the protagonists, such as being an FBI agent in [[TAG]]'s "[[Darkness]]" or assisting in the all-out brawl in ep22 of "[[God Save The Esteem]]". A trope buster for this was [[Kara Wild]]'s [http://web.archive.org/web/20080808120349/http://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic/dwu22_tomorrow_never_knows.txt Tomorrow Never Knows], where he and the football team threaten Daria with trouble for causing a store to drop its sponsorship of them. A number of fans assume that Ted is gay and have latched onto Robert as the most common male to pair him with, as in [[OverlordMikey]]'s "[[One More Round]]." This trope has been subverted in [[The Excellent S]]'s [[Lawndale Fighting Championship]] series where, teamed up as "Da Nice Guyz", they act comically friendly to each other and colour commentator [[Janet Barch]] implies that there is more to their relationship.
