      He is 7 years too late with his response. The WANO meme happened on YouTube and a bit on Reddit, Tumblr, facebook, this forum etc. in 2016/2017. TikTok wasn't even there yet.. Seems like Magnús doesn't understand anything about the meme society and the LazyTown fans. Is there no one who can inform him about something that happened in those communities or is he just not interested? Sometimes I wonder.
      Magnús: - I have fans of all ages and I don't think it's weird when older people like LazyTown. LazyTown appeals to people for many different reasons: dancing, acrobatics, etc.

          You would think he would be with the blow up of We are Number One.
          Still it's never too late. People are still making meme's from cult classics
          like Blade Runner and Back to the Future etc.... To name just a tiny few.

              LazyTown has had a cult following from the beginning as many of the members here can attest to.

              I don't think reposting a meme is the same thing as being a fan, but I don't blame a 60 year old guy who probably doesn't spend much time on the internet for being out of touch with meme culture.

                  Was gonna say something like this.

                  He's sixty years old, cut him some slack.



                  You guys think of weird religions when you hear the word 'cult', don't you?

                      Well I think what he meant was that it has a cult following, as he rephrased later in the video--English isn't his first language after all. However, he's more right than he probably knows...

                          I agree. LT has a small but very passionate fan base. Definitely a cult lol

                          But WANO? I don't think so. It doesn't make sense to call it as having a cult following. It was more like a viral meme and didn't have a distinct following, just memers and LazyTowners

                              Well, I'm fine living with Jesus.


                              But yes, Magnus is confusing the meme bandwagon riders with the true LazyTown fans.
