Remember that show from the early-mid 2000’s, “Lazy Town”???? Yeah, me neither. Anyways, “Lazy Town” was a totally messed-up and strange show about an 8-year-old girl named Stephanie (who looks more like 12) and her efforts to make her new town less lazy. When she moves to Lazy Town, she tries to get the kids in town to stop playing video games and play outside again. She is helped by her uncle Mayor Meanswell (it’s important to note that this name could be taken a number of ways) and a local superhero named Sportacus (a little violent for a children’s show, don’t you think?). Robbie Rotten, the fairly slender and high strung antagonist, tries to keep everyone lazy. The three main characters of this show are incredibly off-putting, iconic, and multi-faceted. Take the quiz below to find out who you really are!!!!

1. My friends would describe me as ________
   1. Awkward and overly excited
   2. Downright annoying
   3. Legitimately evil
2. My favorite color is ______
   1. Blindingly bright blue
   2. Nauseating pink
   3. Anything dark and sad
3. In terms of being social, I would say I’m _______
   1. Awkward but well-meaning when it comes down to it. Also, I constantly hang out with people who are way younger than me and it makes people uncomfortable.
   2. So cheery that people consciously avoid me.
   3. So mean to people that I’m completely unable to have normal, functional relationships with the people I care about. OOPS!
4. If I had to pick a catchphrase, it would be ________
   1. “Someone’s in trouble!”
   2. “There’s always a way!”
   3. “It’s disguise time.”
5. I know that my actions are _______
   1. Good for the most part, because I always try to do the right thing. I fail at that sometimes!
   2. Good for everyone, but only because I’m blind to the actual, serious problems being faced.
   3. Bad for the general public, despite the fact that I continue to do them and pretend to believe in myself

Mostly A’s– You’re Sportacus! Sportacus is the hero of Lazy Town. He loves working hard, helping others, teamwork, and all things sports. There’s a weird vibe here considering the fact that he looks like he is in his 20’s-30’s but hangs out with and acts like a child but we will ignore that for the sake of this quiz.

Mostly B’s- You’re Stephanie Meanswell! You’re overly cheery and the people around you probably think you’re super annoying. They just probably haven’t said it to your face. You have like two redeeming qualities so that is good.

Mostly C’s- You’re Robbie Rotten. This is honestly sad and I feel really badly for you. You’re lazy, your plans always fall through, and you’re the villain of a fictitious town. You’re pretty smart but you don’t put it to good use.
