I'm good lol.

Here's an obvious Lego obsession: Lego loves putting their stud shooters in as many sets as possible, especially Star Wars. And they tend to put them in sets that don't really need them
and they refuse to make guns/tanks/military stuff for minigigs
because its an easy play feature that kids like... its not an obsession theyre just appealing to the target demographic. which alot of you seem to forget is children
EXCELLENT USES LEGO PIECES.
definitely true but its because its a fun play feature for kids
nowadays they use a lot less of them though, and around 2020 minifigures have mostly gone back to the regular blasters and guns and they’ll usually be on vehicles as weapons. again, they are play features so it makes sense and the newer style stud shooters look a lot better anywau
@@doctorcreeps2169mines on the spider-man Morbius set
Lego has a strange obsession with bricks. I see them in almost every set 🤔
I get a lot of plates too
@@SkyKid002 these tiles keep popping up too
Studs are everywhere too.
.. almost?

Not necessarily an obsession or super versatile, but i love that Mjolnir finds itself into a bunch of sets as stone bricks
Such a downgrade tbh
Those walls would be super strong.
I just built the A Frame Cabin yesterday and loved how they used Mjolnir as stones under the porch. Very nice look.
Fits well tbh
Been used in a few Star Wars sets as well if I recall!
Another obsession I remember, was Lego would place a coffee mug or coffee maker, into every set possible. But maybe that was just the Lego city sets.
Several of the Power Miner sets had coffee/soda machines, and the rest either had a sausage or a banana
The Lego Star Wars animations and games have an obession/running joke of including coffee cups as well
I bought the Bonsai tree just to have something chill for the holidays, and when I opened it up and saw all the frogs I was baffled and loved it too.
yeah i got it for christmas and didnt know there were frogs when i opened it i was super happy lol, i love frogs and its funny to me.
The brown carrots in Indiana Jones weren't just clubs. They were also used as torches in the Well of Souls.
And as horse crap.
Lego frogs is the best Easter egg that no one can hide it from you
Does it come with a Lego frog? 🐸 🎶
@@MelumThawne_ also a fan of Half-Asleep Chris 😉
@@MelumThawne_does it come with a LEGO dog?
@@MelumThawne_i was thinking of that
Frogs were used as the helmet hooks in 2009’s Modular Building Series Fire Brigade so that table wasn’t the first use of frogs for something other than a frog.
Cafe corner also had frogs as decoration on the third story windows
the dark grey frog was used in the 2005 lego harry potter graveyard duel as part of a headstone. could be a literal frog or not but still a strange use of it
Lego factory manager: "DAVE!!"
Dave: "yeah?"
"You left the mold machine on all night!!"
"i did?"
"what are we going to do with all these frogs, sausages, banana, carrots!?"
😂
kinda reminds me of Gordon Frohman's ordering too many explosive barrels
Dave’s not here.
Steve: “I like bonsai trees
Dave: “yes”
Just saying, I'm starting to think that Lego has this obsession with 2x2 bricks. They're in so many sets.
Bro it’s one of the most common bricks 💀
@@TheCreateCraftJurassicthat's the joke pookie
The pink 2x2
1x1 bricks too..
"Why is LEGO obsessed with the frog, sausage, carrot, and banana pieces?" Because plastic molds are expensive and the more use they get out of them, the more they earn back on that investment.
Even if they were cheap, I still like the trend, because it shows versatility of lego pieces
Yeah Lego is no stranger to expensive alright. They’re really hurting for cash when making molds. We all know the sets are priced as they are because they use that gourmet plastic.
Did you comment on the wrong video?
Sure, but as shown in the video many, many more frogs are being used as things that aren't frogs than are, even in applications where there may be existing pieces that technically fill the roll better
Lego UA-camrs always bait kids to think the Lego frog is Legos obsession but actually it's possibly cheap to print
one of my worst nightmares as a kid was a brown lego frog sitting menacingly on top of a window
That’s hilarious
Another reason for the abundance of Batmans (Batmen?) is the fact that before the DC Superheroes line LEGO had a standalone Batman theme from 2006 to 2008.
Which also had the pretty popular lego batman game.
Lol, 'batmen'. Sounds like a club
Yeah, same reason why Spidey was runner up
That Bonsai tree set turned out really nice, but it was SO PAINFUL to put together. The cherry blossom branches alone took me over 30 minutes. Worth it tho :)
I really love the frogs as the table legs in the joust set. Their shape fits the whole look of those weird curvy legs that some tables have so well
It makes sense that Batman is so popular compared to other superheroes, because both him and his rogues love their vehicles, gadgets, and cool lairs. When you think of the Joker, you think of abandoned theme parks; when you think of Penguin, you think of the Iceberg Lounge. You don’t really get that for many other heroes or villains, so you don’t get as many ideas for sets
The only non batman villain in dc thats also good is lex since he's always make some kind of machine to destroy superman
Nobody ever mentions the frog pieces being used in the modular fire station set back in 2009 as hat hooks. That was way before the jousting set mentioned in the video!
Wow never noticed!
In the last Jurassic Park wave, each set had a different color frog integrated somehow. The brown one was part of the poop pile Dr Saddler dug through.
The Batman thing I think is two fold. One is that he is a very recognized character. Two is that he had more vehicles and gadgets than anyone else, thus easier to make sets for.
And I always loved how in Lego City Adventures the Mayor dressed as corn with no explanation. I always thought a good joke would have been if the two political parties in Lego City were The Veggie Party and the Animal Party. Thus everyone running for office wore a vegetable or animal costume. And rather than actual politics they used something more basic. The veggies, like Mayor Flek focused on hard work, while the Animals just talked about how cool they were for picking their animal costume.
The dilophosaurus one had a frog as a leaf, the brachiosaurus had a pink one as a flower, and the visitor centre has another pink one as a cake topper. Very cool.
It would be such LEGO joke if politicians just argued which costume is better. Honestly more entertaining than real politics
Obviously, reusing plastic molds is logical, it's a company. They gotta make money, they're gonna cut costs.
But its actually kinda genius. In more than half of these sets, I NEVER noticed the frogs being there. They're just frog-shaped enough to be frogs, but vague enough to be anything you want!
Ah, I'm so glad that The Ambush in Cairo set was mentioned! I remember losing that brown carrot piece for the longest time when I was young, but did end up finding it!
i had that set as well, always loved the tommy gun that it came with.
Wonderful video, I’ve always loved creative use of existing Lego pieces but didn’t know about any of these examples.
One quick correction though: the “dragons” are lions, hence the name of the Lego set. Lions are generally operated by two people, whereas dragons are operated by many more.
Cant forget about the Mug pandemic in lego city sets.
i can imagine John Lego slamming his desk in anger whenever he's unable to include a completely pointless frog in a lego set
I just see it as them using molds more efficiently rather than making a bunch of new ones for small things like clubs and the set designers being creative with them, that or the designers are always hungry and and trying to sneak food into as many sets as possible but I think it's the first part
About the frogs, hotdogs, bananas and carrots, I don't think lego is obsessed with them. I think they are just good for details.
The frogs are an inside joke, the (or some) designers do make it a sport to include it.
The others I agree with you.
Frogs being used as the pistil of the Orchid set blew my mind.
Such a rich great color too
5:27 I also spy a tan banana as part of the one-eyed minon's weapon
Frogs were also used as heads for the gargoyle statues in the Batman Arkham Asylum Breakout set featured later in the video.
Eggs are also used in some interesting ways. Off the top of my head, I can remember that a grey one was used in an Angry Birds set to decorate an engine piece, and in the Succulents set there was a literal handful to use on a cactus.
This video is how I realized that the torches in the Indiana Jones sets were carrots. I legit never noticed before, that was just the "wood club" piece
Lego batman, was one of the major characters in Lego movie and the leader of classic minifigure people on the second movie . Definitely Lego is obsessed about Batman.
Lego LOVES putting lego bricks in their sets for some reason
Lego should just make an entire set where all the Minifigures are just frogs.
My addition to the batman obsession: batman is a character who is designed to have a lot of toys in his dispoal. Various batmobile, batplanes, and other bat-stuff. Other super heroes just dont rely on them often. Even iron man usually has suits.
1:29
i have the sudden urge to collect all the frogs and make this 👁️ 👁️
For me is the biggest lego obsession in putting golden katanas to ninjago sets
There's so many bat-gadgets that really lend themselves to being built in Lego, i think it makes sense that he's in so many sets
Wow, I thought that Lego using the frogs in the 30th Anniversary Jurassic Park sets, were just nods to the Dinosaurs being cloned using Frog DNA. Using a White Frog for shaving-cream foam is a great idea though.
Lesson learnt:
Lego likes food and frogs.
Frogs are a type of food 🤔
They also loved using the exact same head that goes under the stuff like the lego stormtroopers for about 10 years
Here's a Lego obsession: The Trikes. They seem to have in almost EVERY lego cities set and in others
I’ve found that the Lego Batman head is actually pretty useful outside of DC stuff, the white band on he forehead makes a pretty useful bandage or headband.
I love the use of frogs in the 2nd Arkham Asylum where the gargoyle heads were frogs
Gold bars as fancier 1x2 tiles is one of my favorites of this kind
using sausages as eyebrows for statue of liberty has to be my favourite thing ever
They love putting random colored bricks on places you cannot see them
9:20 I think the batman obsession has a lot to do with playability. Superman isn’t really all that exciting as a toy, as all his powers come from within. You could have some fake eye lasers, and breakable objects for him to smash, but the fun doesn’t really go much further. Batman on the other hand, has an immense array of gadgets, vehicles, outfits, weapons, and buildings. I could list off potential sets only Batman could produce, afforded by Bruce’s infinite wealth, but they’re probably already sets.
Good point! Also, Batman might be more relatable. He doesn't have any special power, he's "just" rich and agile - and a kid may aspire to become rich and agile, unlike becoming a hero from other planet.
Does anyone remember about 2-3 years ago when Lego designers had a slight obsession with hiding poop in the sets? Like they would put that little brown ice cream swirl EVERYWHERE. Pretty much every set I got that year had one somewhere, the vintage taxi, the book shop, hell even a plane and countless Lego friends sets had them from what I heard. It was weird af
In 2009 the Fire Brigade 10197 was released, were the frogs were used as holder for the firemans helmets. So the unique use of frogs started way before 2012
8:54 I'm so glad that someone else remembers that that movie exists. It was such a good film that is completely overshadowed by the new (relatively) LEGO Batman Movie (not that it was ever that well-known before in the first place).
Huh?
One might say LEGO has an obsession with anything that they can mass produce cheaply and in bulk. It means more LEGO for anyone who collects it, so I certainly don't mind acquiring more of it! 😁👍👍
the blob shape of the frogs does help them fit everywhere tbf lol
🎶Does it come with a Lego frog🎶
🐸
Half asleep Chris
At one point, it was speeders/tiny vehicles. Everywhere they could add one, they would.
The Batman thing is also because they made Batman sets before ever making “dc” sets, and the Batman line even got it’s on video game
Lego has an obsession with studs, bricks, 1 by 1s, doors and wheels.
I love how polite they look
My friend showed me some Lego set i don’t remember but it was a building of some kind, and it used the Minecraft wolf head mold in the architecture
Lego really likes Minifig heads
they use it in practically every set, sometimes even more!
I think Batman is their favorite simply because batman is best suited for lego sets due to all of his vehicles and gadgets.
Whenever a superhero like spiderman gets a set with a vehicle, it just doesn't make sense, because spiderman never uses a vehicle.
Same goes for a lot of other superhero's.
all the Jurassic park sets in 2023 all have frogs in them
Lego frogs are my favorite lego piece. They're so charming I love how they're shaped.
This explains why Batman is a main-ish figure in the Lego movie.
LEGO GLIZZIES IS CRAZY
I have every single food costume minifigure, and missing only gorilla and rabbit guy from animal costumes collection plus I have every specialised minifigure like rocket boy, firemork guy, crayon flower etc. I love lego
1:43 the frogs are actually on top of little scorpions for the bigger parts of the eyebrows.
Those costumes for the Minifigures could be used for a Halloween Party or Comic Con.
The frogs in the bonsai tree set are crazy lmao
Weird obsession = creative piece usage
sure
Why not both? Using frogs as decorations are weird but creative nonetheless.
Bruh, I chuckled everytime he calling the Dancing Lions in the “Lion Dance” set Dragons 😆
Ski poles is also an interesting piece in this regard.
I only recently rekindled my passion for LEGO, but I noticed they seem to love adding toilets and/or poop whenever possible 😁
Gotta mention that the banana, corn and hotdog outifits have even appeared in some Lego videogames as playable characters.
Frogs are amazing, I love those lil dudes.
The bonsai tree was already right up my alley, but then I realized how many frogs were on it, and I was sold!
"Does it come with a LEGO froug?"
If i remember right, the frogs are a joke among set designers to see who can use the frog piece in the most creative and funny way possible. Like the flower and Banzai Tree frogs.
The binoculars appear in some weird places too, guns and handles for example
The fact you talked about the hidden yellow frog in the ninjago set but didn’t show it is crazy
The lego frog is honestly such a fun shape
Lego sure love mechs as well
I’m starting to think their only obsession is seeing how much it’s possible to charge for a lump of plastic
Games Workshop and LEGO in a never ending competition to see who can get people to pay more for plastic
Lego has this weird obsession with 1×1 round plates. I don't know of a Lego piece more popular and it's probably featured in +50% Lego sets. I'm mostly saying this to make a point.
I have the little hot dog man as a key chain. He's missing a leg and a hand, but he's my funny little guy 😂
New map, new UI, new models.. It’s so much better!
I’ve recently noticed that every Lego set I’ve ever owned has a 1x1 stud in it
The gray frogs also appear in the Fire Brigade from 2009 as the helmet hooks
I wish mixels would come back. They were a big part of my childhood :(
One piece can serve unlimited purposes if you can place it on a single stud
05:27 the minons even got a banana weapon
My Lego obsession is the minifigure heads like from the Creator Set of a Xylophone.
Also one obsession of lego is the pink brick in random places
I like to think that the pink brick in brickheads is actually their brain, but I can get why they use this inside most sets, especially if the colour scheme is homogenous : it helps reading the instructions better. They also use lime green quite a lot.
@@vincentperon2950 yeah but there are pink bricks in star wars sets. Thank you for explaning
@@eetupuhakka7719for what I know the lego star wars designer team has a little game, if they manage to put a pink brick (2x2) in a set , they get a cake (as long as it’s not a lie).
My orchid set uses Demogorgon heads as buds and has frogs in the large flowers.
Lego's biggest obsession is...
Boxes! Every set has one.
Previously plastic packed minifigure lines you say? Those were shipped in boxes!
What about polybags?
@@th3goldenlady them too are shipped by box my friend. But clever find...
I can’t see them as anything but frogs so it breaks my immersion when they aren’t used as Frogs.
LEGO Glizzies caught me off guard
Half asleep Chris :Does it come with a little frog
The sausage piece was used as a desk lamp in the Simpsons house set.
THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING LEGO MIXELS
:D
But you didn’t remember lego Batman in portal lego dimensions
