Lazytown in real life

Re: Lazytown in real life

Personally I was raised to believe that everyone who ridicules you for liking a show that's too childish should be punched in the throat.

My family is awesome. But man, these stories about people ditching you when they find out about LT are really sad. I hope you found more loyal friends.

Re: Lazytown in real life

I figured, well, now I like a baby show and I'm ok with that. Can't really get worse than that! So I guess it brought out who I really am. And I'm very, very glad.

lol, thats so true.

Re: Lazytown in real life

I am glad to see that there are people other than me that have been so grossly affected by a children's show.

I started brushing my teefs more too. Never really had an issue with it anyway, but still more haha.
And of course as all you guise mentioned, made a ton of new friends.
Aaaand learned a little of some new languages

I don't know if I can say that it changed my personality necessarily...I mean it did, but I think it was more of me deciding to quit trying to act like someone I'm not.

Re: Lazytown in real life

When I watched it for the first time, I didn't give it atention. Then, I got involved since I wanted to share a multi-language on YouTube. Now, I have motivation to do sport, eat healthy food, and try out Sportacus' moves :) XD.

LazyTown changed my life, it's my favorite TV show ever and now I think my life is much better

Re: Lazytown in real life

Like the effort which goes into it is just amazing. It's kinda sad how people just realise how technically advanced the show is. And it really is just awesome to watch <_< That's why I like Lazytown, cause I appreciate quality shows, even if it is a kids show it's still better to watch than most things on TV.

Well, in the conference of PROTOS 2008, Magnús says while a TV Show from BBC or from USA has 30.000 people working on that project, he only has 53 people, so, although they are much less but he is very proud of them because he prefers that kind of people who understand his idea than a lot of people and not working good.

Re: Lazytown in real life

I tried watching Dora but i dont like it.
Infact, I dont really like any kid shows that much.
At the end of the day though, Lazytown is like on a completely different level of quality from most shows.

Re: Lazytown in real life

What I hate, is the fact some of my friends are like "You can't like that! It's a kids show!" and yet they love Spongebob Squarepants! I don't turn around to them and say "You can't like that! It's a kids show!"

I know! There's nothing worse than an opinionated hypocrite.
I hate being judged, there should be no age limit on joy.

Re: Lazytown in real life

Yeah, LT has a habit of showing up right when you need it to...

Re: Lazytown in real life

(man some really good responses here, by the way)
I got fired from a retail job that pretty much required me sitting on my butt, and waiting for a customer that wouldn't come to buy anything all day. I ate macdonalds 5 times a week, and even though my gene pool prevents me from getting extremely over weight, i did gain alot, and i was tired all the time, and cranky.
I landed a new job that was actually physicaly demanding (not mentioning names) and i also joined a local gym that one of my old buddies managed at the time. Nearly at this same time i discovered an internet gif of Stephanie doing the cake song. I thought it was japanese at first(the gif was blurry ok, asian steph, etc), but later found it wasn't and i've been fascinated with it ever since. Long story short, i lost all that weight, put on a little muscle, and it was like sportacus and steph were motivating me in a weird way. It sounds dumb really, i know, and most of my friends dont really know the extent of just how much i liked lazytown. My life had become really drab and dark, and LT just kinda showed up at a time when life was getting better for me. And i never really thought of it til i saw this topic. (great idea)

Re: Lazytown in real life

Well, my story is a little special, I was a healthy kid 0 to 7 years old, I ate a lot of sports-candy, I made a lot of exercise, in fact I didn´t like the candies, but when I was 8 years old I ate chocolat (and more things happened in those days) and then my life changed forever, I started to be lazy, I started to gain weigh, etc. and I forgot the most important thing I wished: learn stunts, I never learned it because I thought I wasn´t be able to do it so I forgot it, and years later I saw LazyTown at the first time and months later I started to remember my healthy childhood, and now I am more active, more in balance, and I came back to eat fruits and vegetables, fish, etc. (I always loved them, but well, like I said it changed), my family think I am a "baby" because I like it, but fortunately the children of my cousins love LazyTown so they support me (my cousins, I mean) , my friends... , well, only few know I love LazyTown and for them it´s OK, because they love other series from Disney so, hehe. Magnús changed my life forever because thanks to him I came back to the life that I never should leave: Healthy Live.

So, Magnús, if you see this someday, thank you very much for help us, and please, never change. You are our hero and we always will support you and to your great Team!

Greetings from all fans around the world!

Re: Lazytown in real life

My family thinks I'm a freak {for liking LT} and I have no real friends so thankfully I don't have to worry about name calling.
In the early days I was inspired to learn to do a split, which I achieved in something like 3 weeks, but I haven't practised since so I'll have to take it up again, I'd like a photo souvenir :)
Thanks to episodes like "Sports Candy Festival" I was inspired to try different fruits, you know, something other than Bananas and Apples. I tried Watermelon {awesome} dragonfruit {yuk} etc, I would never have thought of that if it wasn't for LazyTown.
Apparently, I enjoy dressing up! I have a pink wig and a god awful dress that will never see the light of day.
I'm now more open to listening to music from other countries {songs sung in a native language} and I've lost weight since the pilot episode, but that's down to other things.
LazyTown has definately changed my life though, I have no idea what I'd be doing now in an alternate reality.

Re: Lazytown in real life

In 2007, it had a huge impact. I was dancing all the time and eating a lot of sports candy.

But now, it's so hard to go back to those healthy habits. So I'm starting to push myself to try to get back on track and start engaging in healthier habits. I participate a lot more in gym class and I've been on a diet for a few weeks now, trying to lose a bit of weight and eat healthier so I can have more energy and feel better in general.

I do cheat sometimes, at special events. Like for my birthday dinner next month, we are going to a barbecue restaurant where everything is so far off the diet plan that I'll have to work off that meal for weeks. It's delicious though.

And as Magnus says, it's all about balance. You should eat healthy most of the time, but once in a while it's okay to splurge on something you really like.

Re: Lazytown in real life

Lazytown helped me ease my panic anxiety. and yes, being called pedo

Re: Lazytown in real life

I have a friend who loves it, and a couple of friends who are interested but not really as much as me. But... well... it's really inspired me to eat more healthily, of course. You know the sound effect that junk food gets when it appears on Lazytown? It sounds so gross that I think of it every time I see fast food so I don't eat it any more at all. When I watch it I always feel like eating fruit as well. It's great!

But really I think Lazytown has inspired me more mentally than physically... it's kind of hard to explain and I'm tired right now. But it's given me dreams and made me want to hang on to them. For that I owe it a great deal.
