From The AMA
2 months ago actor Stefan Karl Stefanson posted an AMA on Reddit discussing his battle with cancer and asking for help paying for the treatment on his gofundme. In it he answered whatever questions his fans had, most of which were about his role as Robbie Rotten in the kids series Lazy Town. Among the questions were what his favorite song to perform on the show was which led to a reader posting a link to 'We Are Number One' a song performed on the show.

The meme exploded spawning various variations of the video, some of which are below, each more ridiculous than the last. Everything culminated in this meta moment when Stefan hosted a livestream with the composer of the song and the original actors, performing the song live and thus ending the meme once and for all.
Please feel free to visit Stefan's gofundme above and help him in his battle.
Here's the live performance of the song, along with the original and a selected sample of the insane recreations.
