Robbie Rotten (Icelandic: Glanni Glæpur, lit. 'Reckless crime') is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the Icelandic children's program LazyTown.[1] He is also the series' primary comic relief character. He is a ruthless, greedy and lazy, yet goofy, eccentric and silly supervillain, and the arch-nemesis of Sportacus, who promotes exercise, healthy eating and an active and healthy lifestyle. As for Robbie, his favorite pastimes include eating junk food and watching TV.[2]

Robbie Rotten's song "You Are a Pirate" was Stefán's favorite song on the show to perform.[3] Since 2007, the lyric "Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate" became an oft-quoted meme in YouTube poop and hacker culture, most often in reference to online piracy via LimeWire.[4][5][6] Around 2016, Robbie Rotten rose to internet fame through the song "We Are Number One".[7][8] The Reddit forum r/dankmemes voted Robbie Rotten "Meme of the Year" in 2016.[9][10][11]

On August 21, 2018, actor Stefán Karl Stefánsson died of bile duct cancer at the age of 43. Fans of LazyTown and co-stars paid tribute to him.[12]
