"I love all my meme friends"-Stefán Karl Stefánsson
LaronX
The only thing I am sad about is that he never got a role to act in whit that epic look he got now.
mjs2353
Willingly subjecting yourself to down votes to raise awareness for a good cause? That's an upvotin
MrMusclePants
Why not just can the statue and fund cancer research/care with the money?
Mercenarity
Why not just can everything, throw money at cancer research, and all live in unpowered dirt hovels?
chopper35
this is probably going to be my last chance to comment this. he will be remembered.

JustSittingHerePooping
Huh. I never knew that man was so god damn gorgeous..
KeyClavis
I know! Such a shame to lose him... and his beard 'cause that's a damn fine beard and I'm not into facial fur. Damn.
0N10N5
right?
thedudeman519
HE looks like Morrisey
GrimdogX
Yeah no, dude is awesome and the meme is funny but a statue isn't gonna happen. I love the guy but people will only know him for the meme.
ImSnittingNextToBorpo
That hospital photo. Is he okay?
goodmorningmoriohcho
He's got incurable cancer.
ImSnittingNextToBorpo
Fuck cancer. Took my mom.
IchiNiisan
it's really sad and all if people are really sick and about to die, but.....come on, really?
JupitersWitch
He's actually a really great guy who brought a lot of joy to children. Mr. Rogers got one.
rando53
Wouldn't a GoFundMe be more effective? That way, all the city has to do is okay the permits. Much more enticing for them.
Janusha
That character on the left is ultra creepy. Why would anyone think this is worthy to preserve for posterity.
streetwalkertexasranger
he is number one, hey!
Guyonbench
I never watched lazy town, but the synthwave remix of we are number one is the fucking tits.
SirCantComeUpWithAName
He looks kind of badass with that beard.
tommywiseauisfedupwiththisworld
If the Fonz can have a statue in Milwaukee then why not Robbie Rotten
BreadyStinellis
The city of Milwaukee didn't pay for the statue to be there. A local restaurateur put it up so when people take pictures with it and post it
BreadyStinellis
You see one of the best views in downtown. It's advertising for Milwaukee tourism.

DefinitelyNotAdolfHitler
Yeah that's cool but real talk, how the fuck am I supposed to pronounce that towns name?
Hyero
Hofnar fjordush is about as close as I can get to spelling it out.
AmIAVolcanologistYet
Hap-nar-fyor-thur, if you do the Icelandic pronunciation.
DiarrheaTsunami
I wish I could take everybody's suffering inside of myself.
fragtore
This is the worst thing about the internet
Dusty49
C'mon people upvote so future generations will be like "the fuck?"
Fpt04
A statue for getting cancer? It's sad and all, but let's pump the brakes a bit.
Fpt04
Also, getting a statue should be a decision made by the residents of the town, not some random people on the internet feeling nostalgic.
jsktrogdor
I do not understand why anyone cares this much about this. I mean, it's sad that anyone dies of cancer, but why *this* guy?
METAAAAAAAAAL
Memes
JerryWhinefeld
He's number one.
SweetStache
Because this is Imgur and he was a funny maymay. You're absolutely right, this is a bit of a stretch. A plaque maybe but a statue? Cmon
CommentProvider
As soon as you see him, it is already too late - the song is playing in your head.
JupitersWitch
New donations are coming in for his GoFundme. Thank you OP.
MissSassyPanties
Did he do something to earn a statue? Being a villain in a children's show isn't state worthy, maybe walk of fame instead next to Mr Rogers
redchan39
He also ran a huge anti bullying campaign in Iceland. And Mr Rogers also has a statue in his hometown.
fotografiti
If The Viking, Jón Páll Sigmarsson didnt get a staue, why should this guy?
tivvybrixx
im with you its sad hes dying for his fam and fans but not statue worthy.
BreadyStinellis
Maybe, but honestly, no one in the US knows who he is. That show didn't air here.
goodmorningmoriohcho
As someone who grew up on Nick Jr., it was constantly airing AND a lot of my classmates knew what it was.
BreadyStinellis
I just learned it aired the year I graduated high school. That's why I have no idea what it is. Nick jr didn't even exist until I was too
BreadyStinellis
Old for it.
tivvybrixx
yes it did. it aired on nic junior constantly in the US.
BreadyStinellis
When? Maybe I'm too old for it. By the time Nick jr was a thing I was too old for its programming. Either way, it certainly wasn't a
BreadyStinellis
Terribly popular show here or I would have at least heard of it. Like Franklin or Barney.
tivvybrixx
Nick US commissioned it in 2003. It was the highest rated premiere nick had that year. It even out ranked dora when it was released.

Robbie Rotten -Lazy Town
SirMuffinCat
He also did voice acting for the Vikings in the game "For Honor" since he's Icelandic.
Hiphopapotomus
Oh wow! He must be related to Bonnie Rotten! Maybe cousins or something!
filthbucketsfullofpuke
Does he want to be known for just that? Or as himself the actual person.
yourself458
I saw a thing where he did we are number one live with the other actors. He seems pretty proud of the character and the memes. He loves them
DeviatedPrevert
is that one of the duracell battery people?
RobotJock
Unfortunately i know what you're talking about cause that so 25 years ago :-(
Zaranthan
No its becky
NotBecky
It most certainly is not.
aselleus
Oh god I thought I forgot about that
fedeki
he's not dead yet for hell's sake
ItsOkToBeMad
also change.org has never gotten anything done
aminojazz
This hurts now. :(
cousteau
The comment I was looking for. Well, one of the two; I'm glad it was this one.
Ghost0fDawn
He can't die, his beard is too badass.
JupitersWitch
He's going to be though. His cancer keeps spreading and he's reached stage IV. His odds are not looking very good.
fedeki
i know, just let's be nice and pretend people who have terminal illnesses are not dead yet can we? i know for sure that hurts pretty much.
Adict
Honestly, I think it would be better to see the people honor you with a statue than die without having the chance.
JustCallMeBean
Or maybe he'd feel more obligated to die since they went through all the trouble of getting him a statue.
SwoodGrommet
That's why he needs a statue, so he can admire it before he dies.
eviscera
I'd have such mixed feelings if it were me. "That's such an honor that people want a statue of me. Also, they're already assuming I'm dead."
Xenarion
Yet.
DeviousLuxray
2-5 months.
Buck39
So? Get that man a statue!
bendyknee
No, but he is unfortunately the Usain Bolt of dying :(
amp99
True heroes need not die before being appropriately honoured.
fedeki
i agree but maybe just maybe if these heroes happen to turn the internet on the'd prefer NOT to see everyone's given up on them already..
Totallybadassusername
Stage 4 cancer... equally sad IMO.
WillaSue
My Mom survived stage 4 breast cancer.
Totallybadassusername
That's totally badass!
WillaSue
She was a total badass.
FillerNameToFillTheBox
Actively dying though. His cancer came back full force and theirs nothing they can do but make him comfortable.
thegreatalan
toimiski
there's*
RadioactivePolarBear
It actually miraculously receded. Haven't you seen the news? :p
TheWallpaperMaker
it came back and is now stage 4

BadamWarlock
You fug, I actually googled this.
JupitersWitch
As of May this year he's not beating it. The guy is dying and has children. Don't be that guy.
hdvk
Please please please don't be messing with me about this
DamnICantFindAUsernameSoThisWillDoForNow
Thank god. This Post scared me for a second there.
ElTigreChang
He's gonna be soon, though.
thealmightywalrus420
I thought he was cancer free??
ElTigreChang
He keeps beating it, and it keeps coming back. I think he's at least clear at the moment, though.
GovernorOdious
Oh
ImaginaryMamboNumber5
Stage 4 bile duct cancer. Terminal.
Twatimz
Did he not recently get an all clear from the previous cancer , feel very sorry for him, helped promote healthy/energetic living ,
raspymorten
Oh
ActualTttony
What show was that?

One of the most annoying but effective shows. Was so annoying as a child I got sick of the TV and went outside. Haha though seriously

Darude - sandstorm
Zecc
The xx - Intro
TywinStannister
I guess Darudes time is over. I remember when you would get hundreds of upvotes for it, good times...
DrMarioSThompson
I refuse to believe this is the case. Sandstorm 4 ever
SENTIONAUTS
It was show for kids telling them to go outside, play sports and eat healthy. He was villain of the show, purely because he is lazy ofc.
ActualTttony
So sit down in the a.c. and watch a show about exercising. Cool.
ifitsthethoughtthatcountsthinkmoney
as a parent of a child who loved this show -- fuck it! It made me go outside
PervertedTango
Right. A TELEVISION program to tell kinda to go outside.
PervertedTango
Kids
flightlessfruit
Well, it makes more sense than to put up signs outside telling kids to go outside now, doesn't it?
SENTIONAUTS
Which on other hand makes him extremely relatable for most :D he was really great at that role. It was my last kid show I watched as kid.
Steamarrow
I really did always like Robbie more than the others.
SeeShark
My mom and I used to TiVo it for my little sister and then watch it without her.
funnyflywheel
In that case, Magnús Scheving should also get a statue in his hometown.
