98	!!Foreign Dubs
99	* The French dub of ''Robot Chicken'' is done in Belgium. Given that the majority of movies and TV shows spoofed in ''RC'' are dubbed in France instead, this leaves very few opportunities for role reprises in ''RC''[='=]s French dub. With that said, because ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'' is dubbed in Belgium as well, they were able to have Aurélien Ringelheim reprise his role as Ash Ketchum in the "Poké Ball High Life" sketch from "Cracked China".
100	* The Italian dub's main gimmick is that the entire cast is voiced by the same three voice actors (Creator/{{Nanni\|Baldini}}, Creator/{{Oreste\|Baldini}}, and Creator/AntonellaBaldini). Sometimes, by pure accident, this means that they can reprise some of their older roles. Some examples include Oreste Baldini as [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo both Fred and Shaggy]][[note]]While he's Shaggy's official voice actor since 2001, he also voiced Fred in some episodes of [[WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooWhereAreYou the original series]][[/note]] or Antonella Baldini as [[WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer Dora's Backpack]].
101	** Also, the only exception to the "only three voice actors" rule: when Film/JamesBond appears, he's voiced by Creator/FrancescoPrando, who already voiced the Creator/DanielCraig iteration of the character.
