Going hand-in-hand with the allusions category, this site will attempt to catalog the more general themes that frequently appear in Robot Chicken. Eventually, every theme used will have it's own page with a complete list of segments containing that theme and the details surrounding them. When creating a new theme page, be sure to use the What links here option on the lower left to view a list of segment pages in which the theme already appears. This works even before the page has been created.
