This thread is for listing all cultural references made in Lazytown episodes-what makes Lazytown appeal to older people. Thought this would be interesting to see, as I mostly seem to be made aware of these only after reading episode reviews here on get lazy and on youtube comments. (eg. The Greatest Gift (subtle reference to Taxi Driver when Ziggy is talking to himself) and The First Day of Summer (reference to Castaway with the volleyballs and faces) and of course the not so subtle Mission Impossible and James Bond references). Post any I have missed!

Found this one on episode discussions: In Sportafake, after his lament on how the kids used to listen to him, Robbie turns the volume up to 11 on the speaker (This is Spinal Tap reference).

It seems to be about a pink girl and a blue boy

Actually funny story, I've never been very familiar with Looney Tunes so when I first saw Stefán list him as an inspiration for Robbie I had no idea what he was referring to, but earlier this year I was on a long plane trip where they were showing cartoons on the TV screen, including one with Wile E. Coyote. I instantly thought he reminded me of Robbie Rotten, they even look a bit similar lol. But I thought I was just seeing things because I was so deep into my LazyTown obsession. Then when I found out what the character was called I was like OOH NOW IT ALL MAKES SENSE, SO IT WASN'T JUST ME!!!
