your jumpy and a whole humpy

LEGO is perhaps the ideal toy. It fosters creativity, and from that creativity and freedom flow myriad works of breathtaking calibre. The LEGO fandom at its best is an incredible creative force, producing amazing works of scale and complexity beyond our wildest dreams, rendered lovingly in perhaps the most versatile childrens' toy there is.

That's not the part of the fandom we're here to celebrate.

This one's for the unintentional comedy the LEGO fanbase so often affords. The quirky, offensive, uneducated or otherwise unintentionally funny comments on forums and news sites alike. The fan art and writing of questionable calibre. The hastily slapped together MOCs. The senseless loldrama. And above all else, the people who take it all far, far too seriously. Ladies and gentlemen, here's to the very bottom of the barrel that is the LEGO fandom.

Now, if you're here looking for the really great stuff from the LEGO fandom, then you're probably looking for our other blog, the Solace of LEGOman Values. Alternatively, you're actually looking for any number of high-quality LEGO blogs, but hey, more doesn't hurt.

A side note: we (probably) don't hate you. We actually don't hate anything at all! We just find your words or actions really funny, and we're sharing the incredible mirth with the world.

The original (Phelps-themed) one is here

Also I should probably clarify that most of these don’t sound any less horrible/creepy/nonsensical in context

“Truth: I really enjoyed hating her.  It was exhilarating.  It gave me energy.  Sure, it almost got me kicked out of school when I wrote a poem filled with profanity and creative insults pointed in her direction, but this grudge was one of one of my most intimate relationships for four years.  It was fundamental to who I was.”

“The thing is, in all her success, she often collaborated with other people, though I was never included in that number.  As always, I was the guy who was excluded.  As talented as I was, it was very difficult to do anything visionary when I worked alone.  Imagine is our powers were combined.  Together, we could rule the galaxy.”

“So the strange analogy that my mind came up with, which was quite jarring at first, is that a marriage is sort of like a business deal.  The wife comforts the husband’s soul and the husband guards the wife’s heart, but what are heart and soul for?”

“Intellectual intimacy will surely lead to an emotional attachment after enough “leisure to digest”.  Most people are familiar with the sensations of a pleasurable or otherwise desirable emotional bond.  Speaking from experience, I’ve known the sensation of happiness when my inamorata was happy, which was pleasurable, and sadness when she was sad, which wasn’t pleasurable but nevertheless desirable.”

“This entry was a school assignment, but its content has been edited from its original form so as not to break BZPower’s guidelines on religion, which it had at first broken profusely.”

“I’m not any other guy.  I’m female.  It’s not that I have a crush on anyone, but because I’m a girl I think the world of you boys.  I admire you because you’re all slightly different from me in a way that I could never become, and it completes me.  You never see it because I never show it, afraid that you’ll think I’m swooning.” 

“To this day Mr. Tacke remains my favorite teacher, even though I never had him, and I dedicate my fictional general Lucy, who was originally inspired by Mewtwo, after him, as they share the same toughness.  I’m sure Mewtwo would actually resemble Mr. Tacke quite closely after he grew old enough.”

“There’s an idea that girls fall in love with guys that remind them of their fathers.  Some people assume the same is true in reverse.  In my case, that might have been true.  The primary thing I saw in her was her kindness, much like my mother’s.  At first.  Later the first thing that came to mind was how hard working she was for her parents on the farm, and recently she helped build a set in the school theater, and I was in great awe of her character.  In this way she captures the best distinctions of my father.  Both of my parents, really.”

“Those who I don’t know well are dull grays.  I know a few like that.  Most of the people I knew there were a shade of green.  One of them was hyper and enjoyed welding, so he was different.  He was neon orange.”

“The assistant was bothered when I described myself as a creep.  To her, it was one of the most disturbing things I said.  In the American culture, the name Benedict Arnold is a synonym for traitor.  In my personal vocabulary, the name Edward Cullen is a synonym for creep.”

“Of course, then there’s the fact that she’s a girl.  A cute one.  That’s why I am uneasy.  Whenever I want to talk to a significant girl I can’t help but worrying that I might be as creepy as Edward Cullen.  If you are a die hard fan of Twilight or just simply don’t know what I am talking about, look up “Buffy vs. Edward Cullen” on Google and click the first result.”

“My father is a dark brown.  He roughly corresponds to the element of earth, and thus is represented by earthy tones.  He comes in a dark shade because of my rocky relationship with him.”

This is one of the submissions to the BZP t-shirt contest. It’s pretty reasonable by itself, a tad unoriginal but nothing eye-searing or immediately awful even if you count the dull font choice or the “how-can-you-not notice-that” jpeg artifacts on the back: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/CKinVA/TShirts/tshirtback.jpg )

Wait, go back to that first image. Tilt your screen up a little.

what on earth

…Wait what exactly am I supposed to be seeing here

I tilted my screen up and it didn’t change much

I even tried messing with it in Photoshop and all I got was this:

Which is weird, what with the white scribbles and all, but not really noteworthy

In case you couldn’t tell, poorly-resized sprites are a pet peeve of mine

Along with “karz”

On top of that the Matoran alphabet font is really unneccesary, and admittedly even though I can read it it still takes forever and would be WAY easier if he just used a normal font

Apparently this is the actual header/banner/whatever for one of bonesiii’s bonkles stories

Last I checked the guy is at least a decent artist so the fact that he could slap together something so hilariously awful and think it looks good is kind of baffling to me

Although the biggest issue here is that the story in question is not in fact an erotic Nic Cage fanfic

Is there anything NOT wrong with this comic?

man I kinda miss this sort of traditionally bad comic

NOT FUNNY, JUST OFFENSIVE.

…”offensive”

UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME: I hate to take Kraagh’s side under any circumstance, but people (including you) really do make the original trilogy out to be way better than it actually is, and the prequels to be way worse than they actually are

In this case the comments are honestly almost as stupid as the original blog post

Admittedly I may be a bit biased here because I tend to really hate “classic” things especially when people refuse to acknowledge that they don’t actually hold up all that well

Point is they’re just movies that people on the internet feel way too strongly about (or at least pretend to because that’s the POPULAR OPINION) and the fact that there are even SERIOUS DEBATES on this is really fucking stupid

Can we go back to talking about things that aren’t Star Wars drama

Hey so I just wrote up a really long rant on certain issues pertaining to the appearance of the equality symbol on BZP. Thought you might enjoy it.

great read! I admit I’ve been beginning to wonder about where Six stands on all of this, and so far I’ve been preferring to give the benefit of the doubt (who am I to theorise whether someone who remains quiet on the matter is a bigot?), but honestly, saying no to discussion of human rights simply because it’s unfortunately become tied to political bullshit in our current society? :/

my current theory on this is that he and the official BZP party line on this (DV et al being outliers) is trying to make BZP appear as neutral as possible on these social issues to try to avoid being accused of favouring one side over the other by tightly-wound assholes who get snappy when shut down.  in theory it’s not that bad an idea, though if true, in practice it’s kind of disconcerting

(that said, last I heard Six was located in New Jersey.  admittedly the last I heard was three years ago so obviously he could’ve moved since, so odds are you’re correct)

HOW CAN YOU WATCH A MOVIE AND WRITE A REVIEW ON IT AND BELIEVE SOMEONE WAS IN IT WHO WASN’T IN IT AT ALL GOD KRAGGH JESUS CHRIST GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT GOD.

“Zane, I have no idea what you’re talking about.  Cumberbatch was cast as Q.  Simple as that.  The other two films lacked Q, and they brought the character back, which refreshes things.”

you can’t make this shit up, ladies and gents

..I’m just going to leave this for somebody else to handle.

it’s worded respectfully, but the level of ignorance there is making it damn near impossible to even consider the statement long enough to formulate a response without getting pissed off.

(that said, for any BZP staffs who follow me: I got the OK to post the entry in the first place and I’m keeping a close eye on it. it’s your call, but so far I feel like it’s been pretty calm and civil.)

I don’t really understand if the person means… “interests” or if he/she  meant “roles” or… what? (totes talking about the fishers comment, dunno if you meant a different one)

I interpreted to mean like

men and women have different purposes and roles in a relationship, and thus both a man and a woman are necessary for a true, healthy, meaningful relationship.

so in other words, people can’t/shouldn’t be gay because you can only be compatible with the opposite sex.

or something like that.

i hope you don’t mind that i left a bit of a rant toward them. i think i stayed within the confines of the rules.

may as well put this here

Oh BZP

Our word filter is so precious <3
And by precious I mean I can’t wait until that outdated piece of shit gets updated.

I love that filter. It really needs to fucking go.

But then how will BZPers know it doesn’t mean “Bionicle MASK OF DESTINY for Skyrim”
What if they all go join MoD in search of the alleged “Bionicle for Skyrim” and BZP loses its monopoly on bonkles internet discussion
And then Tohu dies because not enough people believe in him anymore and Bob is framed for his murder and is turned back into a Matoran and a tower blows up or something and basically the entire plot of Dark709’s second movie becomes a reality
This is what’s at stake here
Do you REALLY want to get rid of that word filter

I don’t know what’s the stupidest part of all of this: the topic itself, this fellow’s track record in posting bizarre and nonsensical topics, or “eating fart pranks”

I went into this expecting the usual frustration at his sheer stupidity, but I came out laughing my ass off at how high he sounds when he starts talking about imaginary friends, how bowl cuts are the haircut of the gods, and how long hair makes everyone sexy regardless of gender
