    I was so shook that the guy who plays Sportacus is also the producer/director so I went and looked him up. He’s some sort of aerobics champion and this entire show is based on him writing a book for parents to show them how to raise healthy kids.

    The overall costume design and set design for this show is a delight. You can tell it's not your typical cheaply made children's show by simply looking at it. I loved Lazy Town as a kid and I think it holds up!

      I used to watch this show a lot back in college 😂 sounds stupid but sometimes you just need some light hearted fun when your stressed out by exams 24/7. it’s so silly but you can really tell how much love and care is put into it, and Spartacus and Robbie are honestly hilarious! The show actually had a pretty decently sized fandom back in 2018 on tumblr, the rabbit hole runs pretty deep. Funnily enough I did actually start eating healthier and exercising more after watching it so I suppose it was effective too!

      It is oxymoronic that Robbie could be so lazy when he could throw a bunch of junk on the floor, beat on it for 7 and a half seconds with a hammer, then he would present you with a large complex piece of machinery. But it was also that same thing which made the show, and Robbie, so enjoyable and fun to watch.

    One of the nice things about LazyTown is that it never completely demonized video games, sweets, etc. There were scenes where the characters would take a break from sports to play their games, and of course there was the episode where they all happily baked a decadent birthday cake for Bessie. They just wanted kids to balance those things out with healthy food and active play.

    The best part about Lazy Town that set it apart from ALL the other "eat right and exercise" shows is that it didn't vilify videogames, candy, napping, or even being a little lazy... None of Stephanie's friends had to give up what they loved to do, they just had to do other things as well... and yes... Sometimes the solution to an episode WAS videogames, candy, or napping.

He ends up moving so much when he thinks they lost, that he actually pushes the meter all the way to the top and make them the most active town. Felt like the creators sort of acknowledged how active Robbie really is when trying to stop others from being active.

    I always felt a bit sad for the actor of Sportacus. I always thought someone being this hyped must hate his role and making himself a fool on TV. Like he doesn't want to be like that, but fakes it because the script says so. But him being the creator and director explains so much. Now I'm happy for him that this enthusiasm wasn't fake and he enjoyed his own creation.

      Robbie was not "living the dream." A quote from his actor: "I mean, Robbie is obviously going through a syndrome which is very known. He's lonely, and always hating on others, and because he's always hating on others and always teasing kids, he ends up alone."
      He's forcing everyone away from himself when at the same time he craves validation.

  • @Nightfire613
    @Nightfire613 3 года назад +374

    So, I watched Lazy Town, it was one of my favorite shows, and I think the thing about WHY Robbie didn't want the kids playing outside was that the dude lives under the town, imagine if your upstairs neighbor was running around, doing backflips, and making horrible noises all day. He just wanted some peace and quiet, and as someone who is really introverted and has sensory processing issues, I get that. I think it was also a recurring thing that Robbie didn't ACTUALLY dislike anyone, and often wanted to be included, but lacked the social skills to ask.

    • @glanni
      @glanni 3 года назад +81

      It's even been confirmed that Robbie's main problem is that he's bitter about being excluded, and that he actually wants to be accepted. He also repeatedly complains when people are being noisy because he literally hears them, and they wake him up.
      He's the most relatable guy.

    I have always found it weird how everytime sportacus' crystal beeps and "someones in trouble", that he automatically knows where they'll be. As if the entire town is the size of a small crate and is easy to locate whos in trouble, and in which part of LT to flip to. I also find it odd how (whenever Robbie uses his periscope to spy on the kids of LazyTown), that his periscope can appear outside the window of the school, the kids houses, the streets, the playground and well, anywhere like it can travel about the town while Robbie always stays in his fixed position in his lair and looking upward ...

      The latest vide of Juliana Rose was in a video with Chloe in 2017 to raise awareness for Stefan’s treatment, she still looked the same and you could still tell it was her years later… (Even her voice sounded almost similar..)
      If Chloe at an older age can dress as Stephanie on occasion, so can Juliana again, (unfortunately she probably never will as she’s a lot older and seems like she keeps to herself and was never really out there after she left the show years ago, unlike Chloe), but honestly it would be really cool for her and Chloe to dress as her for a video, but because she’s not really out there, I doubt it, still nice Chloe keeps the character going in her shoes at least, even if the character is younger, Honestly I don’t get why they just couldn’t age the character as the show progressed, like, Chloe proved outside the show the character is the same even if she herself is older, now playing her, so Julianna quitting the role because she was older would of actually worked out if they aged the character as the show went on… It really could of worked and she could of stayed without Chloe replacing her, (Chloe is great, but Julianna made the character who she was), I mean Robbie and Sporticus’ actors got older, but they stayed as the same characters the entire show and weren’t replaced…
      (And in the original 1996 play the actress for Stephanie was a lot older too, so aging the character so Juliana could play the role longer would of made a lot more sense honestly… )

      Edit: looked up the dub on The Dubbing Database. It says that the UK dub was done so the different pronunciations of certain words weren’t confusing for children. Interesting. Suppose it makes sense for a show aimed at younger kids. Though they only dubbed over the puppet guys’ dialogue…

It was weird AF but in the best way possible. I miss zany, imaginative kid shows like that. I show my kid a lot of old shows because most of the new kid's shows are so bland.
      Anyway, this dude is funny but I agree that he has bad takes sometimes. Like, the newest season of Stranger Things was iconic and he thought it was dumb. He thought the movie Enchanted was forgettable. Ugly Betty is one of his all time favorites (it was cute and funny for a few seasons, but really? *That's* his favorite? Why?!)

    I remember all the weird, dark theories about what's really going on in the world of Lazy Town...
    - How there is a real super-villain (Ms. Busybody) and that's she's actually a witch who's hundreds or thousands of years old (because of the paintings of herself, in her home, that are all from different time periods)...
    - Or how Robbie Rotten was "Superhero #1", but he got brainwashed into becoming a lazy super-villain. Also that Sportacus totally knows who Robbie really is, but can't do anything about it, so he just plays along... and that explains why all the other super-villains (off-screen) are all secretly making fun of Robbie...
    - How everyone being a puppet and everything becoming puppet-like is actually a plague that's spreading and Stephanie has some sort of immunity. Meanwhile, super-heroes are only capable of slowing down the disease, which is why Sportacus and Robbie only have tiny bits of themselves that have turned into plastic.
    - How there was an apocalyptic event (probably the "Puppet curse") that killed off most of the population and wiped out most super-heroes, which forced people to regroup into those weird little towns
    - How "Hero #9" (mentioned in the the 1st episode) was killed by Ms Busybody when he came to Lazy Town...
    Those theories were really fun to play with.

    The fact that this show was from ICELAND of all places really surprised me when I first found this out (I have been there and it’s a nice place though it is quite cold there and don’t worry about not knowing Icelandic all the locals thankfully know English) especially since nothing else from Iceland has gotten this amount of exposure in the world. I watched this show as a kid but I admit this show never made me more active and I believe I missed the whole point of the show overall as a kid.

      Same here, never knew Icelandic, and I too missed the whole point of the show of being more active as a kid, as I'm now obese 😔 Was still a fun show nonetheless, it aged like fine wine.

    I watched this show a lot in my childhood, sure it really is the weirdest but enjoyable? The show is at the end is to encourage to be healthy by putting the protagonists as the healthy ones and Robbie as the unhealthy one. But at the end, the weirdest memory became the most nostalgic one?? Learning about the actor who played robbie's death really impacted me for some reason , he was one of a kind.

    Robbie rotten is the personification the the Ron Swanson quote "Normally, if given the choice between doing something and nothing, I’d choose to do nothing. But I will do something if it helps someone else do nothing. I’d work all night, if it meant nothing got done"
