Robbie lands back in his lair and causes the mountain of comic books, coins, and the coffee cup to land on him.

Trivia

  • Robbie tries to bribe Stingy with "coins from all over the world, including Iceland", and his bag of coins features the design of a circle containing the letters KR. This is a reference to the fact that LazyTown originated from, and is filmed in Iceland, where the currency is the króna.
  • He may not get the joke himself - but with Sportacus disabled, it is up to Robbie Rotten to rescue The LazyTown kitten from the building pit.
  • Trixie kisses Stingy after the Bing Bang celebration.
  • Robbie originally took a sip from the Texas coffee cup and commented that its contents tasted "like oil". This was apparently a simple comment on the fact that oil is a major staple of the economy in Texas. However, before the episode aired, LazyTown Entertainment were contacted by a member of the US government who had seen an advance copy and seemed to be under the impression that the line was a political comment on their president, George W. Bush. As such, the joke was cut from the final aired episode.
