Chris Crow (https://www.youtube.com/@handle6324) gave GetLazy an .iso of the ninth LazyTown DVD intended for promotional use only. To finally put the .iso to use, I decided to take all the screenshots in this episode myself. I also watched it using VLC.

Yet another clip show that I kinda don’t really mind because this is the twenty ninth episode, so it’s not really that useless.
The cold open is actually a mix of two cold opens previously. Sportacus has no apples, so he jumps out and uses the sky chaser to grab one from a tree. A pretty smart way of re-using shots. Props to whoever edited this episode.
Milford walks into Stephanie’s room to check on her. She is OBVIOUSLY under the blankets, but she yells ‘boo’ (it wasn’t that loud) and startles Milford. She starts writing in her diary about all the songs in LazyTown. She asks for Milford’s favourite song which is Teamwork. Then he comes up with the idea of asking everyone in LazyTown their favourite song.
The first person she asks is Ziggy. And what do you know, his favourite’s ’Cooking by the book’. Stephanie wonders if the others have favourites. Ziggy goes to ask Stingy and Stephanie goes to ask Trixie. Robbie is eavesdropping, questioning why he hasn’t been asked because he is the most musical. Stop lying to yourself. Anyways he tries to sing high-pitched and breaks glass.
Attempted dab in the above screenshot. Anyways, I like Pixel more, because HIS favourite song is No one’s lazy. I love that song. Out of anger he hasn’t been asked, Robbie pushes his eavesdropper back, but it swings back, and he dives for it. Repeated action, but never unfunny.
So, Trixie is building a card out of towers (it took her an entire DAY), but Ziggy ruins it by sneezing and it flies away (but it’s still in it’s tower form..). He asks Trixie what her favourite song is, and in a possible attempt to scare him, she says ’Spooky Song’. So he runs into Steph.
Stephanie is going to ask Sportacus and Ziggy is going to ask Stingy. Considering Ziggy is a.. y'know.. complete gosh-darn idiot, he whacks his lollipop against Stingy’s car multiple times, and when Stingy says it’s called the It’s Mine song, he doesn’t understand it until the last time he says it.
Stephanie’s interaction is a bit easier with Sportacus - she sends him a letter telling him that they wanna see him, and he comes down. Sportacus gives her a lot of hints about his favourite song, which is ultimately Twenty Times Time.
When Stephanie says that she forgot to ask someone about their favourite song, Robbie ultimately thinks it is him, but it is actually Bessie. It seems like she is avoiding him on purpose. Anyways, Bessie is about to phone call someone when Stephanie asks her, and her favourite is Secret Agent.
It’s also revealed that Bessie thinks Milford is handsome.. so that’s a good one. Stephanie is walking home when Robbie bobs up the periscope and startles Stephanie. She wants to ask Robbie his favourite but it’s 'too late’ (which is ridiculous because he has been whining about it the whole episode).
So after she begs (for some reason when she says please she looks like a chipmunk with her teeth), Robbie reveals his favourite is 'You are a pirate’. After that, Stephanie goes back home and reveals the winning song.
Maybe I should explain a bit more - In 2005, Nick Jr. launched a game called 'You Pick The Hits’ where you had to pick from 3 LazyTown songs - Step by Step, Good Stuff and Have You Ever. The song with the most votes would be presented on TV once, and that song was Have You Ever. So this is the third time the song’s been featured in an episode.
Milford asks Stephanie how it went, and she says it went great, and that there is one song everyone in LazyTown likes - ’Bing Bang’. For some reason, Robbie is still angry, and the episode ends with him hurting himself trying to do the Power Jump, saying 'Everyone can do the jump!’
It turns out not everybody can do the jump.
3/10 - Really boring, and the parts where the kids gasp when they think of who to ask next are annoying. When I write these I skip the cold open (ONLY if it’s reused) intro, credits, and songs. So this was fast to watch.
