Robinson wrote the original script for Monster Trucks, while the shooting script was written by Derek Connolly. Robinson ended up co-directing the movie with Gervais. He later expanded on the idea for more skits with the same premise and then adapted them it into a full film script. Robinson's original idea for a feature film grew from a skit he wrote about two people on a date who don't have the ability to lie. Gervais loved it and eventually flew Robinson to London to retool the script and make the movie which became The Invention of Lying. Robinson and producer Lynda Obst sent Ricky Gervais the script out of the blue in the hopes that it would spark his interest. Robinson's script, which was titled This Side of Truth at the time, was included in 2007 official Black List of the "most liked" un-produced scripts in Hollywood. Their only album, entitled It Wasn't Not Funny, was released in 2001. Robinson was a member of the satirical hip-hop group The Trilambs, performing under the name "Matty Boom." The group took a sideways look at the excessive world of rap culture, mocking the glorification of materialism, misogyny and homophobia.
