For those of you who have no idea what we are talking about, LazyTown is a weirdly fantastic, originally Icelandic, children's show that plays primarily now on Noggin. It was created by this dude, also known as...
Sportacus:
What can one say about Sportacus, active hero extraordinaire? Oh, I guess you can say that. You can also say that he is weirdly hot. Ignore the goofy mustache and look at his arms. My god, his arms. Not to mention he can jump approximately 87 feet in the air, sans trampoline. He always saves the day, except when he doesn't.lolololol. And his accent is amazing. Sportacus you are my hero sir. You forgot to mention that Sportacus also does one-handed back flips, front flips, push-ups where he pushes himself off the ground completely claps his hands or does a spin and lands perfectly. In all honesty, he's a tad creepy. But, his pluses totally overthrow the weird athletics and I agree that he's a super hero. Wait, that's right, an "above-average" hero, as he said to Stephanie (Meanswell? That's her uncle's last name at least...Milford Meanswell, Mayor of Lazytown) when she first wrote to him. And he forced Pixel and company to play...sports...with her. Yuck! Give me video games any day of the week.
Stingy:
Arguably the greatest puppet in LazyTown...NAY, the WORLD. As his name implies, Stingy takes great joy in owning everything in sight, especially if it doesn't technically belong to him. The kid once "found" Sportacus's magical crystal and used it as a hood ornament on his fantastic car. However, two words show the greatness of Stingy and those two words are: Parrot Pig. That's right, in the Rottenbeard episode in which they are pirates, Stingy has a parrot on his shoulder that is simply his piggy bank with a feather sticking out of the slot where you would put the change...simply genius. Add to that the awesome fedora he wears in "Swiped Sweets" and yelling out "mine" Stingy has quickly become one of the main reasons to check out this show.
First off, Chuck Norris the Puppet would have something to say about Stingy being the greatest puppet in the world. Secondly, there is no arguing about it. Stingy is without a doubt the best puppet on the show. Pixel? Pft, so what if he invents gadgets. That's been done. Trixie, the prankster? Who cares, I never see her anyway. Ziggy, the candy-loving puppet? Pft again. As Stingy says - in a clip show of LazyTown - "All of Ziggy's candy are mine." Oh, the Mine song. Everything is emphatically his. Along with the fedora in "Swiped Sweets", Stingy also has a little yellow cup that matches his yellow outfit and yellow car, that says 'MINE' in big red letters. Wandering the sea...me and my bird and my bird and me...
Robbie Rotten:
The, for lack of a better term, villain of the show. Half of the time I just feel bad for the dude. All he wants to be is lazy and who can fault him for that? I mean, the place in which he lives is called LazyTown, I'm sure he moved there with certain expectations and things were fine until Stephanie came to stay with her uncle and coerced all the kids in town to her way of thinking...that the only fun can come from being active. With her accomplice Sportacus, Robbie Rotten is guaranteed no peace in the foreseeable future. And that's all he wants is some peace and quiet, the poor man is misunderstood. Maybe if he wasn't so gleeful at the prospect of getting Sportacus out of LazyTown for good or delighted in screwing with Stephanie and her friends people would be more apt to let him be. I feel everything could be cleared up if Robbie just asked everyone to quiet down so he can enjoy his naps and junk food in comfort. But the real reason I love Robbie Rotten is that his costumes never fail to COMPLETELY fool the kids. Kids that dumb deserves to be tricked.Honestly, the man was doomed to be evil. His name is Robbie Rotten. He should so soundproof his...lair? His underground house thingy. Whatever. If he took like a weekend (Oh! Go on Weekend Warriors, Robbie Rotten...or trick Sportacus into doing it) soundproofing his pad, he wouldn't have to be active all the time, trying to kick Sportakook out of town, or banning exercise, so he can be a chair-potato. His awesome, awesome orange fuzzy chair.
Insanely Addictive Songs:
For reals, some of the songs are constantly on loop in my head. Check them out if you ever have the time..."You are a Pirate", "Bing Bang" and "Make a Cake" to name a few.
Sing one phrase in the song and it gets stuck in your head. Seriously.

And thus? Wow, you're a nerd. I'm S.P and my comments will be in red. Unless I change my mind. Then it will be a different color.
