I’ll be honest here and say I was not prepared for an ADHD- and seizure-inducing video involving Legos and 8-bit music on a Monday morning. I did a lot of things this past weekend and getting sleep was not one of them. Imagine being in one of the boats landing on the shores of Normandy on D-Day, but instead of an impending hailstorm of gunfire, you were greeted with tiny Danish bricks and NES controllers. Do you know what that’s like? DO YOU? IT AIN’T PRETTY!
RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!
This video is like a mash-up of Requiem for a Dream and The Wizard (robbed at the 1990 Oscars) with a dose of the White Stripes video for “Fell In Love With A Girl.” It uses stop-motion camera work, so it might have actually taken 1500 hours to make, as the creators claim on the video’s YouTube page. And it basically encourages your brain to freak out. It’s like these two guys sat down and said, “OK. Let’s make a video that requires a ton of time to make and will make people so hyperactive that nobody will every try to top it.” That would be like making a soup that was revolutionary in the soup world and incredibly delicious, but made people pee so much they never had time to sit down and try to make an equally good soup. Is it an unfair competitive advantage, or a masterful plan to never be beat?
