Hello Internet And welcome to behind the meme.
Where we take a look at the meaning and the origin of your favorite memes and trends!
Today We have a look at "We are number one"
This topic has been highly requested by many of my viewers.
lately there has been an increase of requests for LazyTown, Robbie Rotten, and we are number
one.
As Always Thank You all so very much for the suggestion.
I'm excited to get into it.
You wanted it, now you have it.
Here We Go!
So this video is about 3 things, but one thing in particular...but to understand that one
thing I must first explain the other 2 topics.
Trust me, it's not as confusing as I'm making it sound.
To first understand the popular meme " We are number 1" I must explain LazyTown.
What is lazy town?
Now at first, by the name of it, you may think it's a town full of stoners who just sit around
and do nothing all day.
But you're wrong
Girl:This is the way its been since she started smoking pot, she’s all lazy…and boring.
lazytown is a Musical Children's TV Show From Iceland that first aired in 2004 on nick Jr.
The show promoted healthy lifestyles and featured costumed actors, puppetry and CGI animations.
Also some of the most catchy songs I have ever heard!! seriously, I bump this tune in
my car when I'm feeling EMO and at the end of the car ride I feel like Richard Effin’
simmons.
SONG *HAPPY UPBEAT MUSIC*
Ok...So you may be wondering "Why am I listening to a guy on the internet talk about his emotional
problems and a kids television show?but it’s because this children's show has spawned various
memes and remixes from segments of the show, like this remix I’m about to show you of
the song we just heard.
SONG*UPBEAT MUSIC MIXED WITH RAP*
Pretty badass right?
Well now that we have an understanding of LazyTown lets move on to the next subject,
Robbie Rotten.
What is that?
No, Not what...Who!
This is Robbie Rotten!
I know, his appearance is rather startling at first.
And no he isn't Jay Lenos son, I thought the same thing.
Robbie is a character on LazyTown who is the main villain and enemy of the other characters.but
What is it that makes Robbie so hated?
Is it his hair gel bill he runs up each month?
Nah, apparently he tries to lead the citizens of LazyTown away from a healthy lifestyle....So
basically he's mcdonalds...just with better hair and a stronger chin.
Robbie is the reason to why I'm making this video in the first place.
On october 3rd 2014, the season 4 episode 12 of Lazytown aired,which was titled robbies
Dream team.
In this episode robbie clones himself in the attempt to create the perfect team of villains,
but his clones have a hard time learning the ins and outs of being evil.
So what is an evil villain to do when his clones don’t understand the concept of being
evil?
He attempts to teach them the lessons through song and dance, Duh!
Song *MISCHIEVOUS MUSIC*
Aside from being humorous, strange and looking like the creators of this show are on a ton
of drugs... the song is also catchy as hell.
I swear, this is a kids show but damn, the music is pretty cool.
believe it or not I'm not the only person to think this.
Since it first aired on television the song and video has began to appear online in a
variety of remixes and memes.
Song *STRANGE REMIX*
One of the most notable remixes of the song came from siivaGunner which was released on
September 13th 2016 and has received over 350,000 views at the time of this video.
SONG
The song has also become very popular on soundcloud where it is often used in mash ups known as
sound clowns.
Each one being more random than the previous.
song
but Sadly the show ended in 2014, putting an end to the catchy and humorous videos that
eventually ended up on the internet.
And in even sadder news it became a trending topic in September 2016 when it was announced
that Stefan Karl, the actor who played Robbie Rotten was seriously ill and dealing with
a tumor.
Because of this unfortunate news the popularity of robbie rotten and "we are number 1" has
seen an increase in recent weeks.
Lets all hope that he gets better quickly
So there you have it.
A children's show with catchy songs that eventually made it's way to the internet to become a
popular meme that people love to share and listen to.
But hey! that's the internet for you and on the internet, Memes are Keeeng!
