It’s very telling that, on the clip show episode where every character talks about their favorite song, Robbie doesn’t mention “Master of Disguise” or even “Lazy Scouts.” He chooses “You Are a Pirate,” the one time (in the first season) where all the kids in LazyTown were just having good fun with him, cunning evil plans aside.
When he’s more active than the character who litterally starts every morning by jumping out of bed and doing a sports activity whilst eating only a piece of fruit for breakfast you know he’s active
Robbie once had a soliloquy where he reminisced in the days where people listened to him and he felt important. He was king of doing nothing. Now, he’s just all alone, forgotten and completely not listened to.
@@cymontanes389 Well, given he took inspiration from Jim Carrey's Grinch to be this lively, it really worked. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Very interesting and saddest Character Quest video and I'll still miss Stefan Karl to this day he played a very great, goofy, and amazing villain may he rest peacefully.
Man robbie rotten was always my favorite character as a kid, I would get so hype for lazy town just to see him! He was just so fun and energetic and just so fun to watch
If Robbie Rotten got himself a villain's origin movie, his character would've been played by Jim Carrey. Because, yeah, he fits the role pretty well considering how well he did the Grinch. It would be all the same.
Nick cancelled Lazy Town twice?! I thought they only did it once. Also nice video. It's cool when you see characters from shows for younger kids get treated like actual characters instead of people just ignoring them because they're from Nick Jr or whatever
Yeah, he got that part wrong. Only the show's early run was on Nick Jr. The franchise was bought by Turner Europe in 2011, which is why the series was briefly revived for two more seasons.
Also, did anyone else care to notice that the stereotypical hero/villain faces are swapped with Robbie and Sporticus? Robbie has a prominent chin, is clean shaven and even has a pompadour, while Sporticus has a Dick Dastardly-esque mustache.
I was trying to see if Robbie was on any of the top villain lists but I don't see his name. Well in that case if I were to make one, it would be called "The most enjoyable villain list", and Robbie Rotten would be number 1 of course. I can't even think of a close second, when it comes to how much fun he brings as a villain he is just ahead of everyone else exponentially.
To be fair Stephanie brought sportacus there THE VERY DAY SHE MOVED THERE AND BASICALLY COARCED HIM INTO STAYING!! Boom. Overnight the town was changed and flipped upside down. Yes, robbie had every right to be annoyed, if not angry or furious with sportacus AND Stephanie. Hell, if I was in robbies place, I'd be furious with them to
And in Who's Who, Robbie tries to get rid of Stephanie by making a clone that says mean things. I found that very good because Robbie has to make plans to get rid of Stephanie as well sometimes since she's the one who brings Sportacus to LazyTown in the first place.
8:52: I would love to point out that the 2D character designs for the cast, especially when animated, looked a lot better than how they looked as live characters (especially when paired with Stephanie, Sportacus, and Robbie Rotten). It reminds me of Little Nemo, Alice in Wonderland, and even Scooby-Doo, where the basic characters are rotoscoped, with slight changes, but they compliment the exaggerated characters; giving this sort of cohesive artstyle.
Well, he likes being bad, a villain and tries to be a bad guy mostly. Also, there's no tragic stories for LazyTown characters. Robbie is fine with no development since we like him as a villain though a tiny increase in villainy would do for him. Stefan Karl should have based Robbie's true thoughts on the kids off his annoyance of them being noisy, foiling his plans and disinterest in friendship in interviews instead of what he said. That would've being better since they're his enemies for foiling his plans and that he likes being a villain and ruining their fun.
Here my top eleven best kids shows . 11- The backyardigans . 10- Oobi 9- Charlie and Lola 8-Max and Ruby 7-Wonder pets 6-Mr . Rogers neighborhood , 5 - Blue's clues , and blue's room 4-Dora the explorer , 3- Sesame Street 2-Between the lions . 1- Lazytown .
I was fortunate enough to be Stefan's understudy for the first 5 national tours of Grinch. He was an amazing performer and human being. I miss my buddy and mentor.
Even if the other characters are friendly to Robbie at times, they should remember that he's mostly a bad guy and his crimes cannot go unpunished regardless. Can't let someone off the hook so easily by the trouble they caused you know.
Robbie’s energy despite the laziness seems to be similar to Garfield. He has his own way of doing things & he doesn’t always fit in, so he’s enthusiastic about what he likes & how he does things.
If a proposed animated LazyTown series was made, Robbie would be the same as he was in the original but less sympathetic and layered and perhaps a tiny increase in villainy, not to mention a movie where he takes over LazyTown with a army of robots and Sportacus and the kids have to save the day. That would've been good.
I have a friend named Ken Pontac aka the guy who wrote "YOU ARE A PIRATE!" oh the stories he told me about Robbie Rotten!😁 He once got stuck to a whales tongue as a child because his dad was a whaler and he would go out with him on the ships. Also fyi Sportacus is an Ahole IRL
Theres so much to his lore that isn't covered. Its not really related to the show, and you kind of have to dig deeper. For example, "Glanni Glæpur í Latabæ," the Icelandic play where Stefán plays Glanni, the predecessor of Robbie. Note that they are definitely not the same, as said by Stefán himself that they are different characters, but hes the start of the journey. There is also "Jól í Latibær," an Icelandic Christmas album, which has "Aleinn um Jólin" in it, another piece of the Robbie puzzle. Along with that song, theres also "Good to be Bad," the cut song from Suprise Santa that has an extended version in "Lazytown - The New Album" which I think of as the Lazytown version of Aleinn um Jólin. Theres actually a lot of refrences to the play(s, theres the very first one called Áfram Latibær, but it is missing Glanni.) refrenced in the show, but not noticeable unless you have seen them. I just wanted to point out/add to the lore people can dig through since theres actually a lot more to the history of Lazytown that people miss. You can add these pieces to your own conclusion of Robbie as a character.
Definitely hit the nail on the head with this video. I enjoyed Lazy Town when I was younger, mainly for Robbie Rotten. Sure the hero moments were cool, the songs were memerable, well a select few songs and the show all around was entertaining at the time for me, but Robbie is what I remember the most out of the whole show even more so than Sportacus which is really saying something because normally you root for the hero, but in this shows case I was rooting for the villain, not just for the entertainment value but for Robbie to eventually find it within himself to not be alone so much, as that is why he was so evil to begin with like you explained.
He was the center of attention before Sportacus came into the picture and in general, he just likes being lazy exactly like how the town used to be and again Sportacus took all of that away from him? So that’s why he was always doing all these bad weird and in some cases funny things, I don’t know where and how you figured this out but had you not explained all this I always used to assume Robbie was just the bad guy who had nothing else better to do with his life than to do all the bad things he did in the show
He may be a villain, but he's not flat. He even didn't cause too much torture not just for censorship but also for dimension. Hack, he even did nothing all day. Despite i stopped watching after losing cable
he just wanted to have fun and make lazytown a great place like back in the cuz they say there was nucler war happeing there and that makes only 7 people in town its so empty all those days
Speaking of which, all three of them singing together: ua-cam.com/video/xvRK2QSyLSg/v-deo.html Reminds me of Aqua: ua-cam.com/video/eezzPhb_DMI/v-deo.html
I am sorry but I just couldn't take the video serious. I know die hard fans that wouldn't say it had the best FX for the time, even with the footage you showed it was very cheesy back then. Other then that, it's a good video.
It’s very telling that, on the clip show episode where every character talks about their favorite song, Robbie doesn’t mention “Master of Disguise” or even “Lazy Scouts.” He chooses “You Are a Pirate,” the one time (in the first season) where all the kids in LazyTown were just having good fun with him, cunning evil plans aside.
Im picture Robbie in lupin the third universe or pulp character
I allways saw this Point too... that he actually likes the children but cant admit it
Well, he can't reveal that song since it would made the kids find out about his status as master of disguise.
@@felixleidig8307 Sadly, his annoyance of kids making noises and foiling his lazy plans outweighs it by a mile along with dislike for friendship.
Ironically he is the most active of the cast.
😂
The fucking best dam character
When he’s more active than the character who litterally starts every morning by jumping out of bed and doing a sports activity whilst eating only a piece of fruit for breakfast you know he’s active
@@mrcritical6751he’s active for the wrong reasons though. It’s like a lazy person finding a way to get around work
second most active. the guy playing sportacus could apparently outperform olympic level gymnasts.
Robbie once had a soliloquy where he reminisced in the days where people listened to him and he felt important. He was king of doing nothing. Now, he’s just all alone, forgotten and completely not listened to.
Stefan Karl Stephenson will never be forgotten
Wow. This was an incredible video. I really appreciate Robbie Rotten and Lazy Town was clearly a really amazing kids show. R.I.P. Stefan Karl.
I have never watched Lazytown as a kid, and now like 20-something years later I really want to check it out, 100% because of Robbie.
if I were you I would. binged it back in 8th grade when i only knew of the memes and I don't regret it one bit
Yea this show is great i used to watch it when it was on CBeebies in the uk
Ive watched it as an adult. Its good
Interestingly, Stefan actually played the Grinch on the stage musical! I remember seeing one of his performances.
Really? I had no idea!
@@cymontanes389 Well, given he took inspiration from Jim Carrey's Grinch to be this lively, it really worked. After all, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I was his understudy from 2010-2014 and played Grandpa Who.

@@connorbeith3232 So like on a warner bros kids channel?
@@walidbentaher Yeah, in Europe it aired on Boomerang.
Also, did anyone else care to notice that the stereotypical hero/villain faces are swapped with Robbie and Sporticus? Robbie has a prominent chin, is clean shaven and even has a pompadour, while Sporticus has a Dick Dastardly-esque mustache.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Robbie Rotten the Slothful?
I’d thought not, it’s a not a tale the citizens of Lazy town would tell you
What are you talking about? Stefan's death?
@@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario Go on...
Out of any villain there is, Robbie definitely is number one
I was trying to see if Robbie was on any of the top villain lists but I don't see his name. Well in that case if I were to make one, it would be called "The most enjoyable villain list",

Yes, robbie had every right to be annoyed, if not angry or furious with sportacus AND Stephanie. Hell, if I was in robbies place, I'd be furious with them to
If I was Robbie I would ignore them instead of ruining their fun because I'm good at ignoring things
@Brocky TV fair enough. But I'd still point out to him that dude, you don't need to be active 24/7
Coerced is how it’s spelled. :)
@@brockytv7359 Pity villains don't ignore things and just wants to ruin fun.
And in Who's Who, Robbie tries to get rid of Stephanie by making a clone that says mean things. I found that very good because Robbie has to make plans to get rid of Stephanie as well sometimes since she's the one who brings Sportacus to LazyTown in the first place.
Robbie once made an apple that had so much sugar, it made Sportacus burn through his energy in an instant.

You can tell that Stefan trained David Howard Thornton, there is SO much Robbie in Art the Clown.
thanks for uploading a video on my birthday 🎂
Happy birthday!
@@mediamementosofficial thanks 😊
happy birthday! mine was also 7 days ago and i wasn't expecting another LazyTown video here anytime soon so this is great

Robbie Rotton will always be #1. R.I.P Stefán Stefánsson. 🙏😢
Robbie’s energy despite the laziness seems to be similar to Garfield. He has his own way of doing things & he doesn’t always fit in, so he’s enthusiastic about what he likes & how he does things.
What I appreciate is that even other characters let him do activities with them
I’ve always preferred comedians over inspirational figures ever since I was a kid, and that made Robbie my favorite character in Lazy Town
I loved this show as a kid when it was on CBeebies in the uk
If a proposed animated LazyTown series was made, Robbie would be the same as he was in the original but less sympathetic and layered and perhaps a tiny increase in villainy, not to mention a movie where he takes over LazyTown with a army of robots and Sportacus and the kids have to save the day. That would've been good.
Robbie is the most relatable mf alive.
Ironically the least lazy person in LazyTown because of his legendary efforts to make LazyTown lazy again
yesss another LazyTown video 🙏 An unlikely but amazing surprise. RIP Stefan Karl
Jonique'a Smith:I feel sorry for Robbie,he just wants to be friends with everybody.😔
i liked the episode when robbie rotten build a wall and started a war between the kids.
I have a friend named Ken Pontac aka the guy who wrote "YOU ARE A PIRATE!" oh the stories he told me about Robbie Rotten!😁 He once got stuck to a whales tongue as a child because his dad was a whaler and he would go out with him on the ships. Also fyi Sportacus is an Ahole IRL
Whoa really? What’s the matter with sportaflop?
Yeah I’ve heard that the guy who plays Sportacus is a jerk and a deadbeat dad.
Sportaspoof did what now?
I played hooky from
School as a kid to watch this show……loved it 🥰

you know Robbie left a great impression a pirate metal band covered You Are a Pirate by Alestorm.

Rest in peace Robbie!
I used to get stoned and watch this and wow wow wubzy with my nephew. Robbie felt like the only sane person in an insane world
Do an analysis on Max & Ruby and how the whole show is a metaphor for Ruby spiraling down into insanity.
Robbie looked a lot like John Lithgow. Greatest villain actor ever. I once saw a movie where he was the villain and the hero was HIS niece
With the cgi effect on his face Robbie rotton looks like Jude laws character gigalo Joe from the Steven Spielberg movie Ai artificial intelligence
HELLO ITS TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-D-DISCUSS LAZYTOWN!!!!!
WE ARE NUMBER 1!
😈👍
Robbie's one of those 'not really evil at all' villains who is actually quite a softie like Gru or to some extent Megamind.
Only difference, remains a villain.
Robbie Rotten is the only character I have ever wanted to dress up as for a convention.
Always got a jim carrey vibe from robbie...now i know why
Me too Robbie is so funny
Always thought he looked like a cartoony Bruce Campbell
He was the center of attention before Sportacus came into the picture and in general, he just likes being lazy exactly like how the town used to be and again Sportacus took all of that away from him? So that’s why he was always doing all these bad weird and in some cases funny things, I don’t know where and how you figured this out but had you not explained all this I always used to assume Robbie was just the bad guy who had nothing else better to do with his life than to do all the bad things he did in the show
He may be a villain, but he's not flat. He even didn't cause too much torture not just for censorship but also for dimension. Hack, he even did nothing all day. Despite i stopped watching after losing cable
Poor Robbie rotten his life was taken from him in one day he went from the town idol to the ignored guy
All he wants is some peace and quíet, who cannot relate to that? :D
The poor lonely man
If anyone thinks they are the number 1 villain well I will simply say no he is number 1 he will forever be the number 1all u others will be 2 or below
For the man who is very lazy,he sure have a flexible body.
he just wanted to have fun and make lazytown a great place like back in the cuz they say there was nucler war happeing there and that makes only 7 people in town its so empty all those days
He was Number One
No that's too old. He was probably number 8
Question will you do a analysis on sportacus?
Wow who is robbie and stephani and pixel and sportacus
captain you miss pronounced super chillain.
Can you review Thomas and friends next
Thanks for the interest, but we don’t take requests.
@@mediamementosofficial ok then

Robbie Rotten is definitely responsible for the Hindenburg disaster
Can you do a video about Robbie rotten.s mum and dad
What's the name of the episode when Robbie is with all those soccer balls
Season 3 Episode 9 first day of summer
She was legal the whole time btw
I am sorry but I just couldn't take the video serious. I know die hard fans that wouldn't say it had the best FX for the time, even with the footage you showed it was very cheesy back then. Other then that, it's a good video.
You are number one HEY!
Hmm yes accurate
I hate Stephanie we like robbie
Robbie Rotten is a hero and you should watch Lazytown's dark side story
No, he's a villain. Dark side is only a silly theory.
