The passing of Stefán Karl Stefánsson, the actor famous for playing Robbie Rotten in LazyTown, marked a significant moment in meme culture. Stefán became an internet icon in 2016 during the 'We Are Number One' remix craze, which he actively supported to help fund his battle with bile duct cancer. After his passing in August 2018, the internet united to crown him as 'Number One' forever. The memes associated with his death often blend genuine grief with internet humor, frequently utilizing the 'Press F to pay respects' trope or portraying him as a legendary figure in the afterlife. His legacy remains a rare example of a wholesome, community-driven movement that turned a television villain into one of the most beloved heroes of the digital age.
