About
Don't Let Your Kids Watch It is a memorable quote uttered by Robbie Rotten during a trailer for the third season of the chidlren's television series LazyTown. Memers include the scene in various parody videos on YouTube, ridiculing that the video shown was inappropriate or lewd, or to criticized shows such as Teen Titans GO!
Origin
On October 25th, 2012, the trailer for the third season was released on the official LazyTown YouTube channel.[1][2] Robbie appears at 1:15 of the trailer, stating to not let kids watch the show because, "…before you know it, they're going to be eating SportsCandy and moving and running and jumping and dancing and being healthy," before the background pulls back up, showing Stephanie and Sportacus. The post received more than 8 million views in less than eight years (shown below, left).
Four years later, on September 16th, 2016, PCDamonD [3] posted a greenscreen version of the scene labled, Robbie Rotten "Don't let your kids watch it" Green Screen [4]. The video received more than 800,000 views in less than four years (shown below, right).
Spread
After PCDamonD's post on YouTube, the scene inspired many other YouTubers to create different variations of the original scene. One of the most popular of the videos that featured the scene was posted by YouTuber MrMrMANGOHEAD[5] on October 26th, 2016, called "We Are Number One but instead of robbie rotten saying 'one' a soul-destroying video is played."[6] Within four years, the video received more than 2.7 million views (shown below).
