We watched the 2004 Icelandic show LazyTown, a mix of live action human athleticism, puppets, and musical numbers.

Energetic young Stephanie moves to LazyTown and inspires the local kids to spend more time playing games outside. The villain Robbie Rotten wants to keep the town lazy, but Stephanie teams up with the hero Sportacus to defeat him every time.

We talk about the town's location in a void of endless fields, how Robbie and Sportacus might be the latest in a line of regenerating archetypal primal forces, and the show's contributions to memes, especially the supervillain ska banger "We Are Number One."
