Lego in Pop Culture

In case your wondering, this is not about the Lego Movie. I'm talking about seeing a Lego set theme on a TV show that you've seen in the past or now. I was just watching the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, when a funny segment came in called Pros and Cons. These Pros and Cons were about watching the Oscars, and on the third or fourth Con, he showed a picture of minifigure Emmet when he said, "This guy; "

 

So are there any other shows where you've seen a Lego Set? This also includes Bionicle.

Brickipedia actually has a big article that lists many references to LEGO (and has some about Bionicle). See this page on Brickipedia.

That counts. Any video that is basically non LEGO oriented.

 

Edit: I remember the joke now since I'm watching the show again. This The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Pros and Cons about watching the Oscars.

 

Pro: Getting to see the biggest star in Hollywood right now

Con: This guy: [insert Emmett minifigure]

I flipped out pretty severely when I saw Bionicle sets in the background of the Spy Kids 2 treehouse.

One of the episodes from Suburgatory in the latest season had Bionicle in it and mentioned Takanuva by name.

On this page on the general, non-Bionicle, Wikipedia, there's a mention of the Great Beings and their level of technological development: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale

 

Scroll down to "Examples in Science Fiction" and then "Type IV" to find it.

In a similar vein, TVTropes lists "Magic Masks" as being named by BIONICLE, and I seem to remember stumbling upon another trope also named by BIONICLE.

 

"Beware My Stinger Tail" was also so named. TVTropes has an extensive Bionicle page, but I'm not sure that I can link it.

I remember seeing Toa Kaita Wairuha on an episode of Friends once. I don't remember which episode it was exactly, but I believe it was in one of the later seasons. (Like season 8 or 9.)

 

There was also that Lego brick set from the Toy Story Halloween special. I think it was a Lego cat, though I could be remembering that wrong.

Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Anybody remember when Solek and Tahu Mistika were on "Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles"? Come on, BZPower even did a news story about it.
