Retard Pig loves this show — but not as much as beer commercials
You know what would make reality shows EVEN BETTER? More shameless, blatant product marketing! Oh, look! MULTIPLE reality shows about LEGO!!! Wheeeeeee! Great job Hollywood!
Reality producer Scott Messick has partnered with the Lego Group to develop nonscripted programming related to the toy building-block franchise. Messick said he’s developing several different types of reality shows related to the brand – including docuseries, competition shows and kid-oriented gamers.
“Lego seemed like such a powerful brand, and I don’t think they were thinking about reality TV,” said Messick, who is exec producer of Cartoon Network’s “Destroy Build Destroy.”
Lego has been busy extending its brand into the entertainment realm, including a live-action movie in development at Warner Bros. [More on that HERE.] Jill Wilfert, Lego’s veep of licensing and entertainment, is driving the push into film and TV.
“They have some great ideas regarding programming that captures and showcases the inherent creativity at the core” of Lego, Wilfert said. [Variety, emphasis added]
And those are some truly awful PR quotes that showcase the inherent sliminess of the mental intellectual blackout it takes to support some of the braindead ideas in Hollywood. Ugh, die in a chemical fire, all of you.

mmm…eggos
I’m not sure which is a better way to ruin my memory of these beloved childhood toys: watching this show, or taking my favorite Lego guy and leaving him in the urinal of a baseball stadium bathroom.
Legos are the coolest, most mind-expanding toys ever. I say this as a former kid who loved Legos and a current dad whose kids love Legos.
These movie and TV ideas are the worst kind of slimy, un-creative marketing mental waste, the absolute antithesis of what Lego has always been about. I’m going to have to hate them now.
The Lego Escher and Lego-man costume from the FilmDrunk pic are way cool, though…
I saw the headline and thought I had somehow wandered onto filmdrunk. And then, halfway through the block quote, BAM, there’s the link.
