Robbie Rotten

Robbie Rotten (Icelandic: Glanni Glæpur, lit. 'reckless crime') is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the Icelandic children's program LazyTown. He is also the series' primary comic relief character. While Robbie was always popular for memetic reasons, the Lazytownfandom miraculously resurfaced a few years back where older fans fawned over him.
== Basic Information ==
Robbie is a ruthless, selfish, and lazy yet goofy, eccentric, and idiotic supervillain and the arch-nemesis of the series' main protagonists, Sportacus and Stephanie, who promote exercise, healthy eating and an active and healthy lifestyle. As for Robbie, his favorite pastimes include eating junk food and watching TV.
Being extremely lazy, Robbie naturally opposes their attempts to spread a healthy influence to the people of LazyTown and employs various schemes, often involving the use of disguises, to discredit healthy living and run Sportacus (whom he refers to as "Sportaflop") out of LazyTown in every episode, although his plans are always foiled in the end. Ironically, Robbie becomes very active when he executes his plans.
More information on Robbie is on the LazyTown wiki.
== Archetypes ==
=== 4th Wall Blurring ===
Bonus points for breaking the 4th wall more than any character on the show.
=== Angst ===
Somewhat. Stefan Karl has confirmed that Robbie truly wants to be friends with the Lazytown citizens, with the tragic part being they did see him as their friend but he never realized it.
=== Distinctive Voice ===
Has a deep yet very hammy voice.
=== LGBTQ+ Coded ===
Robbie is rather effeminate, wears makeup and has disguised in drag before to further his schemes. He also has a huge habit of talking about Sportacus, touching him and jumping into his arms when afraid as much as he says he hates the guy.
=== Mad Scientist ===
Can create pretty impressive gadgets and inventions for a man who prides himself on being lazy as well as even having his own lair.
=== Quotable Catchphrase(s) ===
"I meant to do that!", "It's disguise time!", "FOREVER!!! EVER... EVER... EVER..." and "Whatever".
=== Theme Song ===
"We Are Number One" has pretty much been engraved as Robbie's theme song over the years. In addition, he has the most songs in the entire show, with "Master of Disguise" or "The Greatest Genie" being among the more memorable ones aside from the often memed "We Are Number One".
=== Unkempt ===
An odd case since while Robbie has a bad diet and lives an unhealthy lifestyle, he's well fit, active, and clean. Ironically with all his plotting and scheming to make LazyTown lazy again, he's actually the most active character in the show aside from Sportactus himself.
=== Well-Dressed ===
His normal outfit is a two piece suit with pinstripes, formal shoes, and a shirt with cuffs and cuff links.
== Fanon Tropes ==
=== Angst ===
While Robbie's desire to be friends with the citizens is sad as is, it's super common for people to think or come up with a tragic backstory for him, usually having to do with the Number Nine, the hero in Lazytown before Sportacus showed up.
=== Marked Canon/Fanon Divergence ===
Robbie went through the "Draco in Leather Pants" treatment where while in the show, he prides himself on being a villainous mastermind, the fanbase plays up his softer side and either portrays him as misunderstood, as forced to be evil, or both.
