Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: One of the lyrics in "We Are Number One" is "This is going down in history". The song became a meme in 2016, enough that in a way, it did become a part of history.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: A lot of people watch the episode just for "We Are Number One".
  • Memetic Mutation: The "We Are Number One" song number blew up in popularity through becoming a meme, partially through it being a running gag in SiIvaGunner videos. The meme was eventually used to help spread the link for a GoFundMe to support Stefan Karl Stefansson (the actor who played Robbie Rotten) while he recovered from cancer. It ended up becoming so popular and widespread that the official LazyTown YouTube channel took notice of the meme... and embraced it tightly, going so far as contributing to the meme themselves (with three 10 hour long videos of the original, the instrumental, the instrumental played in reverse and the full episode that the song is from).
    • A number of quotes from the song have become standalone memes.
      • "No, don't touch that!"
      • "Now look at this net that I just found!"note 
      • "Throw it at him, not me!"
      • "Now watch and learn, here's the deal..."
    • People on YouTube have created mashups of "We Are Number One with "Bonetrousle" due to the similarities in the music.
    • All of the stems for the song have been released.
    • On December 11, 2016, Stefan Karl Stefansson and the other actors from the number posted a live version of the song, complete with an interview with LazyTown composer/songwriter Máni Svavarsson.
    • Another variant of the "We Are Number One" memes is the "We Are Number One but X", in which the X will change several parts of the audio and/or video with something that the meme creator wants. While the X can be anything, the most common format of the X is "but every "One" is replaced with X".note 
  • Signature Scene: The "We Are Number One" song number.
