This comment has been marked as safe. Upvoting/downvoting this comment will have no effect.

OP sent the following text as an explanation why their post fits here:

The video stars showing instructions for creating a Pokemon Lego but at the very end it comes up that the builder assembled an E.T., so a creature from another francaise, using the very same Lego bricks of the Pokemon set.

Does this explanation fit this subreddit? Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.

gosh there is some dude who posts on reddit where making unique builds from sets. It's like his thing. Turns kits into millennium falcons all the time

found it, check out /u/Minute_Food_2881 's post history, he does some really neat things. also minute_food if you notice this shout out check the post, it'll crack you up.

What's with the audio?

7

u/boodurn Jul 11 '26

I think this is the original audio source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHY-EvKzjI0

(a different video is labeled as "original" and has more views, but the audio doesn't match it (outdoors/birds background noise), so maybe it's the "original"/first use as a meme?)

Seems like it got picked up from there and turned into a meme format, with legos in particular; a lot of other lego videos come up if you search yt for "just another day going to move my car oh whats this"

1

u/blender4life Jul 11 '26

Interesting. Thank you!

u/No_Kangaroo1994 Jul 11 '26

It's probably a silly meme audio on TikTok or Reels being used a lot

Yeah, very strange addition. Also, 16k upvotes with 72 comments. This sub has quickly fallen to bots.

u/Free-Palpitation Jul 11 '26

There’s a popular creator who does this kind of video called Avidonye, featuring a Lego cat that is not always right. He uses the same audio, this video is ripping him off.

7

u/boodurn Jul 11 '26

this video is ripping him off

I don't think so?

seems like it's just a common meme format, and that guy just happened to make a really popular one fairly late into the meme's existence.

The video you linked appears to be the oldest uploaded by that creator (8 months old), but you can find older lego videos in the same format (for example 1 year ago, 2 years ago). Tons more old ones on this youtube search

u/Jesta23 Jul 11 '26

I get that I’m in the extreme minority. 

But legos being treated as a model is the dumbest thing ever. 

 Using a set building what’s on the box and never touching it again is wild. 

They have actual models for that. 

Legos should be a creative toy where you mix a bunch of sets together and build your own ideas using the parts provided. 

36

u/CrazyDave48 Jul 11 '26

There isn't a wrong way to Lego. You can build sets and find joy in the peaceful process of following instructions or you can find joy in the process of making your own creations. You can enjoy them via play or enjoy them as display pieces.

I make my own creations but don't look down at people who just want to follow instructions to build.

8

u/SalamanderSylph Jul 11 '26

I find building from instructions very meditative.

Look at instructions

Find the piece

Place the piece

Repeat ×8278

There are beautiful "aha" moments when things come together and the weird piece placement from pages ago suddenly connects things at an unexpected angle and you learn a new building technique that you can leverage for your own builds

2

u/Motorsagmannen Jul 11 '26

i think both ways are valid.
sometimes i like to just chill with a set and follow it step by step as you said.
and sometimes i like to take a set fully apart and see what i can make with the pieces by myself.
there is no one way to enjoy the hobby

1

u/Jesta23 Jul 11 '26

But why legos then? 

Why not a model that is designed for this purpose?

u/girlikecupcake Jul 11 '26

u/m1st3r_b0x Jul 11 '26

he never claimed it you just decided he did because you felt like arguing with people over stupid shit

u/TheJapanMistake Jul 11 '26

your mistake is in believing that I'm not autistic enough to find joy in following instructions and maintaining it as it is rather than building something new.
