LazyTown advertisement - 2000

An Icelandic advertisement about Icelandic vegetables (subtitles included). The slim guy, Jives, was not in the TV series, a boy who never wanted to eat his food, only cocoa puffs, cheerios and so on.

[@TerminatorTheory]

*Jives never appeared in the show because of Ziggy doxxing him for his lack of muscles*

[@seanyboye7389]

Look at ziggys thousand yard stare directed straight into your soul

[@stevenh5510]

I wish Jives was in the TV show

[@garboard2756]

If Jives was in the tv show then he could have great character development. :(

[@cometaHavoc]

He is, only that is sleeping 24/7 on his house

[@bartolitotherooster727]

Same With Haninn

[@laurapreslartherealgoodcla5822]

Agreed.

[@Yoshix27]

OMG, I FINALLY FOUND THIS COMMERCIAL! I saw this before Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ on VHS and I´ve been looking for this since I first found it as a young boy. For some reason, I thought this was a Cheerios commercial...

Sportacus: I didn't feel exhausted like that.

[@delightfulmochas]

The Sportacus puppet has elf ears!

[@bensonapi3220]

He is called “íþróttaálfurinn” which directly means: “the sport elf”.
So yea, sportacus is an elf

[@DarkTombStudios]

The original Lazy Town puppets were so weird looking but there is just something about them I love!

Íþróttaálfurinn translates to "the sports elf."
I accidentally referred to him as Sportaflop once again.
I found out that the best way to put this is "Floppaálfurinn" (the flop elf).

This is so cursed, I love it

Wait So A TV Show From My Childhood Was Originally An "Icelandic Vegetable Commercial?"

[@merchantmaker1771]

No, it started as a series of children's books, then a series of plays before becoming a TV series

[@Adam-mh7zv]

​@@merchantmaker1771 I knew it was a series of plays beforehand, but books?

[@merchantmaker1771]

@@Adam-mh7zv It started with the book "Áfram Latibær!" ("Go Lazytown!") in 1995 and was followed up by "Latibær á Ólympíuleikunum" ("Lazytown at the Olympics") the next year before being turned into a play 1997. I wasn't really aware of the books myself until recently since that was a bit before my time

[@LuppetCentral]

After just watching VeggieTales, this seems awkward.

[@Windermed]

Looks like a horrible Lazy town bootleg for some reason

[@just_some_guy_innit]

TheSwagPros360 XD This was the real LazyTown itself back in 2000 not some bootleg, the franchise existed for about 10 years before the show, a book series then 2 stage plays Áfram Latibær and Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ and a radio play Jól í Latabæ then those puppet were created by an Icelandic company called Wit Puppets to promote the franchise like this advert
