# LEGO-Remade Comercials The LEGO Ad Break Parodies Traditional British TV Commercials By Angela Rajic | Published 2014-02-28 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/LEGO-ad-break References: [theverge](http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/10/5397248/lego-movie-uk-tv-advert) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSbYBzUEQlc) British Television station [ITV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-ad-service) released a [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego2) Ad Break, a series of British ads remade using LEGO to promote the LEGO movie, which will premier on Valentine’s Day across the pond. The commercial featured include an ad for insurance, one for a hotel chain, one for Internet service and one, which features actor Vinnie Jones, for the British Heart Foundation. These LEGO-rendered commercials are humorous and silly and a great way to embed the film into British popular culture. This LEGO Ad Break is fun and silly, much like the film it promotes. The iconic actors are portrayed by [LEGO mini figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/willy-wonka-the-chocolate-factory-lego) and all of the scenery and action it recreated with LEGO and stop motion animation. These LEGO ad recreations show that the famous building bricks can be used to make and recreate almost anything. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 21% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Viral](https://www.trendhunter.com/viral) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **LEGO Animation:** Opportunity to use LEGO and stop motion animation to create humorous and engaging advertisements. - **Nostalgia Marketing:** Opportunity to leverage nostalgia by recreating popular TV commercials using LEGO. - **Pop Culture Integration:** Opportunity to promote movies by integrating them into popular culture through parodies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Advertising:** Opportunity for advertising agencies to create unique and attention-grabbing campaigns using LEGO and stop motion animation. - **Film and Entertainment:** Opportunity to integrate movies into popular culture and increase audience engagement through creative marketing strategies. - **Toy and Hobby:** Opportunity to enhance brand recognition and appeal by associating LEGO with iconic TV commercials and pop culture references. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Children-Focused Awareness Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego2.md) - [Toy Brick Reimagined Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-movie.md) - [Horror Film-Inspired Brick Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ideas-jaws-set.md) - [Toy Brick-Made Festive Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herding-home-for-the-holiday.md) - [Show Skit-Inspired Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mr-bean-skit.md) - [Building Block Launderettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/launderette-of-dream.md) - [Reimagined Film Brick-Form Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bricktoons.md) - [Puzzle Animated Biopic Trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piece-by-piece-trailer.md) - [Witty Toy-Brand Horror Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horror-poster.md)
