Si-MOCs Posted January 17, 2012 On the Simpsons tonight, Lisa went into a Blockko store, and there were references to Pharoh's Quest and Alien Conquest. "We do the imagining for you.", says the salesperson. Clip: Is it just me or does anyone else think there's an AFOL on the writing staff? that's two LEGO jokes this year - and packed with quite a few AFOLesque imagery... Credit to Ricecracker again for the heads up! PS: I think Kaliphlin needs a "Dust Palace" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niku Posted January 17, 2012 Robot Chicken has another Lego parody that essentially mocks how Lego is unrealistic. Quite hilarious. -Omi I love it all :laugh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si-MOCs Posted January 17, 2012 That dragon and Spaceman look rather familiar. Your suspicions may be correct. Do you remember what the other joke was? Yeah there are a few other pretty funny things around the store - definitely an someone that knows their LEGO. You mean other jokes in the video? or the previous one?

Deefuzz Posted January 17, 2012 I know this is quite the bump... On Saturday the 21st, on National Geographic "Ultimate Factories" is doing another LEGO one. Awesome! Thanks for the heads up, will be setting the DVR when I get home from work today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oky Posted January 31, 2012 In the crime thriller The Next Three Days, Russell Crowe's kid is building something with Lego while they visit his mother in prison and she asks him what he's building, but she gets the silent treatment from him. Kinda makes me wonder if Lego pieces could be used to break out of prison. Also, on the animated sketch show MAD, they made a parody of Lego on a list of banned toys called "LECTRO".

nielsv Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Not really Movie or TV, but this is a song they're playing here on Belgian radio stations. It's a song called "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran, he is a British singer/songwriter. Niels Edited January 31, 2012 by nielsv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arigomi Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) The Simpsons Season 23 Episode 11 Lisa visits a "BLOCKO" store.

Brickus Posted February 2, 2012 In the movie Chronicle (2012), there is a scene where the guys are testing out their new powers on LEGO, and one makes a Seattle Space Needle? (correct me if I'm wrong) out of multicoloured bricks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted February 6, 2012 On Friday, in Blue Bloods, there was the City set (number is escaping me..) yellow/white sea plane mail carrier on the coffee table. I believe the a red engine train was too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonwil Posted February 8, 2012 There is an ad for Murdoch College (private school here in Western Australia) that features a bunch of different bricks being used to build the school's logo. Cant find a copy of the ad on YouTube though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DarthNick Posted February 9, 2012 My first commissioned build was recently featured on TV. It was built for a show called 'The L.A. Complex', which airs on MuchMusic every Tuesday at 9 PM (EST), and was shown in last night's episode. It appears for about 15 seconds in clip 1 of 5 at around 2:45. Link to clip. The build was of a gate from Rashomon, some 1950s Japanese movie, and as you'll see in the clip the two guys are making a brickfilm about it. Definitely not an amazing build, but considering I had about 3 weeks to plan it (in LDD at that, since I don't have the bricks to plan something that large in brick), I think it turned out ok. The pic was taken by the Props-master (the guy I built it for) on the set, since I didn't have time to get good pics myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pandora Posted February 10, 2012 The title of the song suggests there might be LEGO within, and indeed Rupert Grint (surprisingly) plays with both the Helicopter from 5866 Rotor Rescue, and what looks like to me the Country Cottage from 5771 Hillside House. Not really Movie or TV, but this is a song they're playing here on Belgian radio stations. It's a song called "Lego House" by Ed Sheeran, he is a British singer/songwriter. Niels Sorry mate, but beat you to it! There was even discussion back in October about Rupert Grint's appearance, too.

LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 6, 2012 Earlier this morning BBC's Top Gear's host James May featured Lego on his other show 'James May's Toy Stories. He is now a proud owner of a house made out of 3 million "Eighter's", as he calls them. Lego also made it's appearance featured on two separate shows. NatGeo's Taboo, and, I believe, 'My Strange Addiction' on TLC, features a gent who lives his life outside of the real world, as a baby. Not my way of having an addiction or reason to build, but to each his own Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vindicare Posted March 9, 2012 It wasn't shown, but once again on the Big Bang Theory Sheldon mentioned "Star Wars LEGOs". I'm wondering when/if he'll mention and/or showcase the Superheroes line, it's right up his alley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
