I like Pixel. I love making websites. I love LazyTown. What will I think of a LazyTown episode about Pixel’s website - Pixelspix?
The episode begins with a recycled cold open from Sportafake.. except that Pixel is watching it in his computer. At 23 seconds in the episode, the video plays backwards and forwards, and then Pixel’s media player frame is revealed.
In response to Ziggy asking how Pixel made the video go in reverse, Pixel says that with his new multi-media player which can play many video files, anything is possible. And Ziggy understands none of that. To rephrase - Pixel has computer. On computer he can watch video. And then he shows Ziggy his creation - Pixelspix.com, his very own webpage featuring everyone in LazyTown. The way he makes the icon is by scanning a photo of someone (he of course uses Stephanie as example), and when he clicks the icon, a video of her dancing plays.
If this was a real webpage, I’d go on it all the time! Thankfully we have the Flash Nick Jr. promotional version. Anyways, they play ’Have You Ever’ on the computer. But Robbie is eavesdropping, and Pixel plays a video of Stingy trying to teach him how to brush his teeth… which woulda taken 3 seconds if Ziggy hadn’t asked to press play, got the mouse stuck to his hands (coffee, taffy, caramel covered hands), had to have Pixel pull it off and get it stuck to HIS OWN head, and then finally clicked it.
Sometimes I just don’t know about that boy. So then the video plays - and Ziggy gets his toothbrush. A BIG. GIANT. TOOTHBRUSH. Not even CaseOh would need that. Then he takes his regular nasty toothbrush with chewed candy all over it (I just threw up a bit in my mouth..) then Stingy offers to give him the brand new toothbrush he’s never used before. (I swear, if Stingy uses it after that, then I’m going crazy) Then Stingy says you need to put something on the toothbrush, and can you guess Ziggy’s first guess?
CHOCOLATE. So Stingy corrects him by telling him he needs to put on TOOTHPASTE. Ziggy likes the flavour of the toothpaste and he asks for more but Stingy says ‘no’. Not to be stingy, but because you can definitely have enough toothpaste. Then Stingy says to go twenty times up and down and the two sing the Twenty Times song.
Meanwhile Robbie is annoyed about how Pixel left him out so he devises a plan with one of those really skinny debating boards. But then he drops it on his feet and start massaging them as if it hurts. LOL.
Meanwhile, Pixel is watching HIS files on Pixelspix which is a bunch of clips of him from the past nineteen episodes (are there cameras EVERYWHERE in the town??) and then he watches the Sportacus file. Pixel describes him perfectly. When they watch a clip of Sportacus falling down from his airship and then landing on the brick wall, Pixel says 'he sure isn’t doing anything in a cool way!’.
Magnus (Sportacus) wrote this episode alongside the two OTHER main writers for this season, but I’m guessing that was all him. Also, Pixel uses Linux but his video player looks like Windows Media Player 11 (the greatest media player EVER!!!!). While the two are watching clips from the show (I know these are from past episodes, but technically speaking, in the LT universe, who filmed the videos??), Robbie enters somebody else’s property without that person knowing.
Aren’t there any laws in this goddamn town? And why does Pixel have two yellow cushions and one blue cushion on the blue bed? How ugly is THAT? Anyways, Robbie puts his hand on the duck on Pixel’s window frame (why does he have that? I was thinking he just had some device to shower him) and he falls off the ladder.
So, Pixel’s screensaver says it’s time to 'Get up and Move’, which coincidentally was the name of the game that was used to promote LazyTown before the first episode aired. A nice throwback! So anyways, they go to get a snack from the kitchen and Robbie has climbed back into the room. He tries to delete the webpage but a video of Sportacus plays (which looks like it was produced very very early in the production of Season 1).
He tries to get it off but he keeps on skipping five seconds further.. LOL!! So he tries to figure out what the vacuum Pixel is using does (didn’t he eavesdrop like 5 minutes ago..?) by licking it and smelling it. Robbie has never seen a vacuum cleaner yet his lair is actually pretty organized and clean. Anyways, he finally scans himself in.
Robbie then asks himself the five W’s 'who? what? when? where? WHY!!??!!’. Then he finally realizes he is in Pixelspix. He trips over a pencil then he tries to rub out Stingy’s icon, but It’s Mine plays. He does NOT like it. I did! Anyways, Pixel and Ziggy have came back from the kitchen. Pixel says he will add games to the website (foreshadowing Pixels Brix!) and Ziggy asks about a Rotten game because Robbie is teasing them.
I’d just punch the computer. Anyways, Pixel goes boringly and tries clicking Robbie but the self proclaimed Computerized Man is too fast for them. Kinda funny how the laziest guy in town is so quick.
Robbie picks up a brush and is going to paint Trixie’s icon away until Ziggy unplugs the computer cord not knowing what it does. HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT THAT DOES???!!! Then he plugs it back in and Robbie has been lying down as if he’s dead. LOL!!!
They try clicking him away, but they can’t. They call on Sportacus for help. Meanwhile, Robbie has SOMEHOW got a cannon and cannonball and is firing at Milford’s video. But instead, the video plays but a bunch of boring tech stuff overlays it then he writes a script and the video is back to normal.
They try clickity clacking Robbie over and over but he is MUCH too fast for them!! Luckily, here comes our hero! Also, doesn’t it ever irk anyone when he doesn’t say 'Platform down’ once he goes on the ladder?
Anyways, Ziggy takes him to Pixel’s house and he tells them that they need some help doing a very hard task. They aren’t sure he can do it, but he says he can.. until he finds out that task is STANDING STILL. LOL! So they scan him in the WEB SITE, and Sportacus says he will delete Robbie from the program. Below screenshot is hilarious.
It’s a chase scene and Robbie is desperate to hide. He hides behind Stephanie’s dances folder and yet Sportacus doesn’t get him. whaaaa? Robbie is running around the folder really fast in hopes Sportacus doesn’t get him. But if only he knew. LOL!!
Robbie hides in the folder and Sportacus starts to shake it then he jumps into it. It’s a shortcut to Pixel’s video storage drive and they keep jumping into folders. Robbie is too scaredy-cat blooded so he jumps out and Sportacus comes right after him, not letting him get into the folders.
So what in the world does Robbie do? Give up, hurt Sportacus, or jump in the trash bin? You can probably guess which one he does but, just in case..
He jumps in the trash bin. Also, did anyone notice that some of Sportacus’ shirt blends in with the background. Not very good rotoscoping. So, the mission has been completed. Sportacus outruns Robbie, and he outsmarts him. Pixel empties the recycle bin and they bring back Sportacus. Good screenie below.
Sportacus compliments Pixel’s webpage, considering he was just in it for the past few minutes, and Pixel wants to show him something else but Sportacus stops him and goes back to the airship. Meanwhile, they play Bing Bang on Pixel’s computer. Then once the song ends, Ziggy falls down. LOL!! Meanwhile, Robbie has actually been in the trash can and he drops the lid.
