PewDiePie\u2019s followers pay tribute to actor Stefan Karl in a unique way YouTube\u2019s most-subscribed creator, Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg, browsed his subreddit in a recent video, which featured a heartwarming tribute to the late \u2018Lazy Town\u2019 actor Stefan Karl Stefansson. The subreddit featured a screenshot of Karl\u2019s YouTube channel, which PewDiePie\u2019s fanbase had helped reach over million subscribers. PewDiePie himself appeared to be happy with this development. \u201cWe did it,\u201d he said, clapping his hands. \u201cVery nice, everybody. A nice little departure gift for our guy, Stefan Karl. Rest in peace.\u201d Karl, known for playing character \u2018Robbie Rotten\u2019 in the children\u2019s show \u2018LazyTown,\u2019 passed away of cancer in August 2018 at age 43. PewDiePie addressed Karl\u2019s death in a \u2018Meme Review\u2019 video shortly after the actor\u2019s passing, wherein the YouTuber paid him tribute by reminiscing on the widely-popular \u2018We Are Number One\u2019 meme borne from the Lazytown show. \u201cWhen someone passes away, it\u2019s frowned upon to make jokes about it,\u201d he stated in the video. \u201cWith Stefan being so active on Reddit and involved in the meme community\u2026 I thought it was a very nice thing to see how many people memed Stefan in such a positive way.\u201d He likewise placed links in the video\u2019s description that led to donations for organizations like the American Cancer Society, and encouraged his viewers to sign a petition to raise a statue in Karl\u2019s image. It appears as though PewDiePie\u2019s community has found yet another way to pay Karl tribute as a final \u2018thank you.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
