"We Are Number One" is a song from the Icelandic children's television series LazyTown, composed, lyrics and music by Máni Svavarsson. The song was featured in the 12th episode of the show's fourth season, entitled "Robbie's Dream Team", which is the 107th episode overall.
Robbie Rotten, the main villain of LazyTown, attempts to teach his "dream team" of villainous accomplices (three fictional villains called Bobby, Tobby, and Flobby Rotten) how to successfully catch a superhero (specifically Sportacus, one of the show's protagonists).
Robbie goes on to teach his team how to properly be a supervillain. Multiple methods are used, chronologically in order of appearance, an overhead cage attached to a tree (which ends up trapping Robbie), a large butterfly net, a false apple containing enough sugar to induce an overdose and consequently temporary unconsciousness to the sugar-adverse Sportacus, a somewhat small fishing net, and banana peels intended to cause Sportacus to slip, but instead causing Robbie's own team to do so.
The sugar apple proves to be an effective trick, successfully sedating Sportacus and giving Robbie and his team a chance to put him in a portable cage. Robbie's three teammates relocate the trapped Sportacus to Robbie's underground headquarters while Robbie stays on the surface to set up a cannon, revealed in the full episode to be the way Robbie intends to run Sportacus out of town. However, his plans are thwarted when Stephanie opens the base's periscope and uses the cylindrical inside of it as a means of transporting a real apple to Sportacus. The apple rolls undetected by the now-sleeping Bobby, Tobby and Flobby, with Sportacus reaching it and regaining his power, of which he was deprived by the sugar overdose. He then uses his reclaimed strength to break free from the cage and coax his three captors to play sports with him on the surface.
Robbie watches as his previous companions play sports with Sportacus, and, out of apparent anger, walks over to them disregarding a bucket on the ground. This bucket is kicked, hitting and triggering Robbie's cannon and thus blasting Robbie away from the scene via the cannonball. The video ends with Bobby, Tobby, and Flobby accidentally falling into a trapping pit constructed by themselves to capture Sportacus, thus enforcing for a final time the clumsiness of the team.
