Bloopers / Mistakes / Weird Things: In the Russian dub, Robbie mistakenly reads Sportacus as the laziest person.
1. Sportacus climbing up with just one bite of an apple is impossible.
2. LazyTown's timing is fast [basically, seconds are fast in LazyTown]. The time Sportacus jumped in his airpod was 12 seconds, but it would've been 9 in real life.
3. Ziggy's golf ball broke once it flew back at the ground. This is impossible as the ground is concrete AND golf balls aren't made out of glass.
4. Pixel weirdly loses his video game, which in most episodes he wins. This was because at first they were losing, but later they finally achieve what they want to do. This happens in most episodes
5. The LazyTown Newspaper's article is "Mayor Meanswell Snores To Loud". This could be an error while typing this newspaper up, or maybe the person who writes the newspaper can't spell "too".
6. "LazyTown" in the news paper is spelt Lazy ● Town.
7. Bessie's newspaper is ripped by a ball that Robbie threw. Paper is not this weak in real life. [or maybe i've never threw a baseball at a newspaper.]
8. In this episode's version of Energy, the clouds are re-styled/drawn to look more realistic.
9. In the British dub of "Energy", Stephanie's lines are recorded again to give her a higher voice.
10. In the UK, the line "you only have to move around until you get your feet of the ground" is turned into a Stephanie line instead of a Stingy line, and the word "ground" is given some echo/reverb.
11. Weirdly, the kids somehow get better at what they are trying to set a record in when they have to save Sportacus. So when they want to do it, they can't. But when they HAVE to, they can!
12. In the screenshot below, Stephanie is seen to have done many attempts playing cricket. She has 5 bats and 4 balls. Has Stingy's brattiness affected her? [tHe bAlL gAvE mY bAt 0.01 pErCeNt oF aIr, sO I cAnT uSe iT.] Or have those been there already, and she isn't the only one who's tried to set a cricket world record in LazyTown?
Moral Lessons / Point of the Production: You got energy and you're on your way!
