[edit] Cult Internet Following
This show actually has a pretty big internet cult following, which can be shown on sites like YTMND, and as such I think that should be noted.--24.44.170.194 06:40, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- Just about anything can get a cult following on YTMND. The thing thrives on cult followings. Appearing on YTMND really isn't an indication of anything. Whether it really has a cult following on the Internet as a whole is doubtful, but even then it would need to be huge to merit mention here. (O RLY? YA RLY.) 82.92.119.11 22:05, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- go to [1] and do a search for "lazy town". i was thinking the same thing. Joeyramoney 02:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with deviantart. Are these results atypical compared to other TV shows? 82.92.119.11 12:57, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- not remotely. there are several lt fanclubs even. Joeyramoney 23:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- What I meant was: is this any different from other TV shows? I'd imagine just about any show has a presence on the Internet today. I'm not sure how we'd determine LT has a "cult following". 82.92.119.11 18:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- what imeant was- yes, and it has perplexed me for ages. Joeyramoney 00:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- It seems to have a following on Live Journal too, as well as the popular gif with Stephanie going "Fuck yeah!" (captioned, not actually said) taken from the cakesong.
- On an added note, searching for "LazyTown" on YouTube.com produces alot of results. Obviously preschoolers don't have the ability to upload TV rips. I think an edit regarding the adult/internet following of LazyTown is due.
- Lots of Stephanie posts on 4chan's /b/ board. They (we) go crazy when someone starts a Steph thread. Though this probably is more related to the "Steph is loli" post above.

[edit] Do not list one-off characters
Do not list one-off characters if they are not notable guest stars and do not affect the plot of the series; affecting only the plot of one episode is not reason to be listed. Please see [this Village Pump discussion]. Kat, Queen of Typos 16:20, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] YTMND
To those who keep listing Stephanie's YTMND appearances: Please review WP:WEB, and note that Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents mentions that the notability of internet memes is widely disputed. Furthermore, a reliable source would have to write an article about Stephanie being on YTMND, as per Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Kat, Queen of Typos 21:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merchandising/References
Hey, I found a really good thesis that seems to (professionally) document quite a bit of the merchandising history for LazyTown and even goes into some detail about the origins of LazyTown. It reads kind of dry since it's really an analysis of intellectual property laws, but it seems like a really valuable resources. Any wiki-experts want to tell me if this is a valid resource for a reference? I was looking for a source that talks about the sale of LazyTown brand fruits in Iceland (something I definitely remember reading about on-line and certainly worth mentioning) and this appears to do it:
http://www.handels.gu.se/epc/archive/00005104/01/200637.pdf
Anyway, if someone determines this is a reliable source, I'll help integrate some of the content into the article. Skip straight to the case study. :) Mikeliveshere 10:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
PS. It seems like some of the references that are currently included are dead links, so we should probably work on fixing some of that. I'll do what I can to help work on this article! :) Mikeliveshere 10:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stephanie's Age vs Julianna's Age
Okay, we know that Stephanie is 8 and Julianna is really 15. Julianna's birthday is on her page. IMO, the fact that the actress is older than the character she's playing does not really belong in this article - many, many actors and actresses play characters that are a different age than their own. Kat, Queen of Typos 00:07, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed. The phrasing when referring to Stephanie should be "She" not "The character". It's common knowledge to anyone who knows the show or Julianna that she is twice the age (almost) of the character.

- Yeah, I know, it's just people are driving me crazy adding "she's really 15." I'll change it back. Kat, Queen of Typos 00:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Original Icelandic Play Versions
We need more info and screenshots of them. This Youtube Playlist has a large number of clips from the original live-action Icelandic versions. I feel that since these came about LONG before the modern TV show, they deserve to be included with detailed information. Coolgamer 00:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 4chan
Apparently Stephanie has some memes that have appeared on 4chan. Exploitable and "Is this loli?" come to mind. There's also the "Fuck yeah" animated gif, among others.
Could this be mentioned in conjunction with YTMND? 59.154.26.124 23:04, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- As it already states twice on this page, YTMND is not a reliable source as per Wikipedia's policies. Memes are also probably not appropriate unless an outside, reliable source does an article on them. Kat, Queen of Typos 16:28, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
