4/10
forced and mostly unfunny
11 May 2016
While I really like later LEGO video-productions, Lego Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Brick humour seems quite forced and simply unfunny to me. Mostly the same scenes that have been spoofed hundreds of times elsewhere - and in a better way. "Weird Al" Yankovic's UHF comes to mind first.. come to think of it - even Muppet Babies did it better.

But what really killed this short for me was an inclusion of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - just like it was worth of (or needed) any parodying at all.

10 Lines /sigh/ ..what else can be said about this? Someone tried - and mostly failed. The good outcome is that at some point LEGO spoofs became funnier and while I'm still not entirely convinced to the whole LEGO Games / LEGO TV Shows sell-push-driven 'craze' - we still (possibly thanks to those beginnings) have e.g. LEGO Movie - which is genuinely original and *much* funnier.
