LazyTown is an Icelandic children's television series that premiered in 2004 and later aired internationally, including on Nick Jr. Stingy, one of its puppet characters, was defined by his possessiveness and his insistence that objects around town belonged to him. That trait became one of the show's running jokes and made his lines easy to quote out of context. As LazyTown clips spread on YouTube and in meme edits, Stingy's claims were reused for greedy characters in other scenes, and the chant remains a shorthand for refusing to share.
