Editing Roobarb (section)

==In popular culture==
The ''[[Noah and Nelly in... SkylArk]]'' episode "During a Picnic" features a pirate ship called ''The Nutty Dog'', the figurehead of which looks exactly like Roobarb.

[[The Streets]]' song "Turn the Page" mentions "Roobarb and Custard verses".

A sampling of ''Roobarb'' episodes and theme song made up the basis for the 1992 single of the same name by the UK group [[Shaft (rave)|Shaft]].

The end bit of the theme tune could be heard at the end of each of 3 adverts for Ambrosia flavored custard.

Roobarb and Custard were featured in the music video for "[[The Official BBC Children in Need Medley]]" by [[Peter Kay]], which contained many other popular cartoon characters. They appeared via a televised monitor as they were in 2-D animation, as opposed to the stop-motion style of the video and characters.

Roobarb and Custard became the stars of a series of children's books based on the TV series by Mogzilla Publishing in 2009.

The ''Roobarb'' theme tune appears in the Channel 4 comedy "Spaced" (Season one, Episode 4: "Battles") in a flashback as Tim is chased by a pack of dogs, and also as Daisy chases the pack itself.

Roobarb and Custard were used as mascots for the [[People's Dispensary for Sick Animals]] charity in the UK from 2011 to 2015.<ref>{{cite web|title=PDSA champions Roobarb and Custard|url=http://www.pdsa.org.uk/how-you-can-help/roobarb-custard|publisher=PDSA|access-date=26 April 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111201033312/http://www.pdsa.org.uk/how-you-can-help/roobarb-custard|archive-date=1 December 2011}}</ref> They were voiced by Ian Swann.<ref>{{cite web|title=Watch Animations, Games and Game Trailers voiced by Ian Swann|url=https://www.ianswann.com/watch_animations_games_&_games_trailers.html|publisher=Ian Swann|access-date=26 April 2024}}</ref>
