This English Lego Commercial Will Melt Your Dark Heart
 |
It’s about a kid and his dad teaming up to play Lego together. But if it were done here in the U.S., it would all be glowy fireplaces and some song like “Holding Back the Years” on the soundtrack. We’re prepared for that. We’re muthaphukkin’ immune to that stuff.
No, this is the United Kingdom, where, when dads and kids collaborate, they build a shark that has legs and wheels. And crowns and glasses for each other. Plus giant robots. And then the kid bitches about bedtime and brussels sprouts.
This is the father-son team that all of us guys want to be part of. And women would be proud to be related to, I think. And that’s why it gets us…right in the geek.
Watch after the jump.
