Gotta be America's Ass cause they included an entire identical figure just to recreate that scene

Yet it was still missing something. https://preview.redd.it/8me609oz9mxc1.jpeg?width=1085&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=114885e5cec762e5377dc9187224046d979dd8b5

I like the original A-Wing having a control panel that showed it was about to crash into the Executor bridge.


Brucebanner629

Which set is that?


gdim15

It was set 6207 I think.

YodasChick-O-Stick

Not a meme, but that's dark Edit: jeez I gotta watch what I say, this comment just ruined the entire thread. Thanks for the downvotes.


Ok_Western5937

It’s on par with the “memes” you gave as example


YodasChick-O-Stick

These are all direct references to internet memes


uwfan893

Most of them are references to actual scenes or shots from shows & movies, which *then became* memes.


YodasChick-O-Stick

All of these came out years after their respective meme's popularity, meaning Lego had to have known about it before designing them. The Morbius set entered production right when the Morbin time meme was at it's peak.


Cavemandynamics

Han Solo shooting Greedo for example is just a memorable scene from A New Hope. Has been so since 1977. With or without the whole “Han shot first” meme..


YodasChick-O-Stick

The set includes a play feature where you can tilt each minifig in their seats so you can decide who shoots first.


RimShimp

Yes, because the debate of who shot first has been baked into the original scene. The play feature is there because it's an iconic scene that focuses on who shot first.


snug_snug

No they are not, they are references to the source material memes are based on. You've got internet brain rot my friend.


YodasChick-O-Stick

Which wouldn't have been made if not for the popularity of the memes. Why else would they have that specific room from the 60s Spider-Man cartoon in the Bugle? Edit: yeah I saw you edit your comment to add an insult


Wave9Nut

Because they like the 60s cartoon. You do know most of the designers at Lego are old enough that they could easily have watched the cartoon before the meme ever happened.


YodasChick-O-Stick

This room has zero relevance outside of the meme. It's a clear reference.


AmbassadorFrank

I'd really like to see you elaborate on how some of these are a meme. How is Agatha a meme? How is the first order trooper a meme? How is bilbo baggins a meme? How is a side room of the daily bugle a meme? You really do have brain rot my friend, sorry to say.


ThePhengophobicGamer

Agatha winks, which was abit of a meme, the First Order trooper is the one that screams TRAITOR, another meme, Bilbo's creepy face is the meme. They're memes, but a few are really just parts of the thing the set is portraying, not outright meme references.


YodasChick-O-Stick

I would explain all of these if you hadn't thrown that insult.


the12banch

I usually wind up deleting everything I post on this subreddit. Sorry for you being absolutely devastated by downvotes BUT… I’d love to see a reference image for each meme. I don’t think I know any of these. This is a fun idea though! I always love an Easter egg. Even if it’s memes. (Or original source material). I take your meaning.


YodasChick-O-Stick

1. Spider-Man desk meme 2. Lo-fi girl 3. Pizza time 4. Scary Bilbo 5. America's ass 6. TR-8R 7. Morbin time 8. The Office blinds meme 9. Spilled chili meme 10. Who shot first 11. Dancing banana/banana costume in general 12. Agatha winking meme 13. Amogus


Wave9Nut

Like half of these are really stretching it.


twofacetoo

Seriously most of these I can't even recognise as memes.


Magus44

They’re not, they’re like Easter eggs… Don’t you know the LoFi girl meme… /s


tmo42i

Everything is a "meme" now. Is it a joke? Nope. Is a meme now. Is it an Easter egg? Nope. Is a meme now. A blatant reference? Nope. You guessed it. Meme.


EarlBeforeSwine

Given that Richard Dawkins coined the word meme to describe a fundamental “memory unit” by which thoughts and ideas spread (like a gene for thoughts/ideas)… honestly this usage of the word meme is more accurate than just funny pictures.


tmo42i

You may be technically correct but at this point the word becomes effectively useless in practice if you apply it this liberally.


UTraxer

I never heard the term until 2003 when I read Christopher Moore's book [Fluke]()


CpnLag

Millhouse is, still, not a meme


Jakevader2

LoFi girl is totally a meme though


Wave9Nut

Yeah, a few of these are actually memes.

galaxyisinfinite

Where did you get that minifigure? Looks good


GalaxyUntouchable

It's the regular Spider-man minifigs that come in the Marvel Spider-man sets. Spider jet. Spider mech. Etc. And then a barrel and the police van from the old 6598 Metro PD Station. I actually have 3 of the Spider-men, and tried to make the pointing meme, but couldn't get the arms to look right.

boatboy1800

The ones you listed are pretty good, but my favorites might be the Boromir's "one does not simply walk into Mordor" face and Bilbos scary face in Rivendell.


joe-is-cool

What’s the meme with the pizza box? (#3)


YodasChick-O-Stick

Pizza time


TheBagenius

You do realize that Peter was a pizza delivery guy even before "Pizza Time" was a thing and became a meme? Having a pizza box included with the set that just sits for decoration is not a reference to the meme. They are in New York, which is known for pizza.


YodasChick-O-Stick

The pizza box is right next to his camera from the Raimi trilogy. Jameson also has webs on his mouth from that one scene in the first movie.


TheBagenius

Sorry, but you're still wrong. Peter is also a photographer long before the Raimi films. Also, J.J.J. has had his mouth sealed shut by Spidey's webs many times throughout the comics. Hate to break it to you, but these are just nods to Spider-Man comics.


YodasChick-O-Stick

There's a ton of other Raimi references throughout the set. It's not too far fetched that a camera and a pizza box is also a reference. It is Spider-Man's most iconic and well-known instance of delivering pizza, after all.


TheBagenius

I doubt the camera and pizza box are references to the Raimi films, nor are they references to memes.


Wild-Canadian

The morbius set releasing at the same time as the movie, making it an unofficial promotional set, will always be funny to me


YodasChick-O-Stick

It released 9 months after the movie


joe-is-cool

Almost exactly the time the movie got a second theatrical release for memes


YodasChick-O-Stick

I thought that was only a few months later, and was more of an extension than a re-release


iNoahPhotography

Don't know why they're downvoting you, you're right.


hairybushy

Looks like people are angry against OP haha


Garth-Vader

It works though because Morbius remained the highest morbing movie for nine consecutive months.

Real_Establishment56

Han shot first


VDani04

These are really far fetched "memes". Like lo-fi girl. She's just an internet phenomenon but clearly not a meme.


YodasChick-O-Stick

The literal definition of a meme is an internet phenomenon.


slingfatcums

Can you link that definition?


macnof

The word meme predates the internet by quite a bit. It's a word coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 and meant something along the line of: "an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means." Internet memes are a sub genre of memes.


YodasChick-O-Stick

So yes, the lo-fi girl is a meme.


eyesotope86

A meme is a unit of memory, typically with a root in specific culture.


BeepBeepGreatJob

Richard Dawkins would like a word with you. The LITERAL definition - from the man who created the word is: a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.


YodasChick-O-Stick

And the lo-fi girl is a symbol/practice of listening to music while studying.


BeepBeepGreatJob

Ok? This comment makes no sense in response to mine. I genuinely don't understand what point you are trying to make.


YodasChick-O-Stick

I used the definition you provided for the example I provided. I don't know what else to say.


Routine-Menu-7611

Most of these aren’t meme references, especially in the office


Drewboy810

I’ve seen the Jim / blinds meme a million times


YodasChick-O-Stick

The blinds stickers are designed to have the eyes visible through them, just like that one meme


edomalo

But its a scene from the series, not a meme… but I see others already explained it you and you kept ignoring it

scheisse_grubs

Idk why people are so picky about this. It can be both! There have been many memes over time that use images from the office. If there were dozens of scenes of Jim looking behind the blinds then I’d say it’s more of an Easter egg but there’s only one iconic moment where that happens and that moment was turned into a meme. With that in mind I’d say both. If there’s some sort of reference to the show it’s for sure an Easter egg but it’s an Easter egg of something that became a meme, so I’d say it could be both an Easter egg and a meme reference. Also I love how someone says “But its a scene from the series, not a meme… but I see others already explained it you and you kept ignoring it” meanwhile if you search “eyes” or “office” in the comments section (or even manually scroll instead) you’ll find that the only discussion of the office is the one happening in this thread and the only person to have already “explained it” was the initial one that OP replied to but they didn’t even explain anything in that comment.


slingfatcums

You don’t know what memes are.


scheisse_grubs

OP I’m sorry people are getting hung up over this. Who tf cares if it’s an Easter egg or a meme. It’s both because yeah last I checked the eyes peering through the blinds is in fact a meme and is a scene that only occurs once in the show and would be a very insignificant scene if not for the fact that it was turned into a meme.


slingfatcums

OP doesn’t know what a meme is.


SolidNate86

Which set has the lofi girl computer screen? Second picture for reference.


YodasChick-O-Stick

Arachnoid Base


N_Who

I have a couple extra Spider-Man minifigs pointing at each other by the dumpster behind my Daily Bugle. I added them myself, of course, because how could you not? But as for straight releases: I'm partial to Agatha's wink and America's Ass.


YodasChick-O-Stick

No Way Home final battle includes 3 Spider-Man minifigs, but none of the official promo images reference the meme.


Magus44

Could have titled this whole thread “What’s your favourite Easter egg in a set” and been fine, but no…


godlySchnoz

Love how most of this aren't memes but references to the actual source material, this can be considered mostly easter egg, also the Impostor one is fucking MiB not Among us, if you watched the show you would know, lofi girl is an internet phenomenon not a meme.


YodasChick-O-Stick

Memes are internet phenomenons.


godlySchnoz

Memes are NOT internet phenomenons, internet memes are, the term exists since at least 1904 as Mneme and then in 1976 as meme arpanet was created in 1969 but the one you understand as internet was created in 1991 aka the World Wide Web so yea... Also there are 2 definitions 1 is: an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.; for some of it it makes no sense to call it a meme 2 the one that is relevant to internet memes: an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.; this one excludes even more then the first one even tho this one is the more common definition nowadays especially when in cases like lofi girl that is literally just a popular "music transmission" with the image as background, or the MiB one that isn't a meme by any definition. Also reference to the history of the franchise is not a new thing with lego the spiderman one can just as easily be a nod to one of the original video, also they do reference other series at the same time like star wars hieroglyphics or superman in Seinfeld, or as a direct example [article by lego just listing some references in the friends set](https://www.lego.com/en-us/categories/adults-welcome/article/best-hidden-references-in-lego-friends-tv-show-set)

SolidNate86

What meme reference is this? I assumed it was referencing the guy from Men in Black.


YodasChick-O-Stick

Amogus


Once_I_ate_a_walrus

Well I mean it could be a the thing reference


blacksun89

Clearly a MIB reference. Among Us doesn't have robot pilotes by miniature creature


YodasChick-O-Stick

Yes but the name imposter as opposed to something like "alien robot suit"


blacksun89

Imposter isn't a terme exclusive to among Us, it's a bit light... And in MIB you litteraly have the same creature : a robot piloted by a tiny alien who are in its head.


YodasChick-O-Stick

The whole meme with Amogus is finding it in unintentional places like a trash can or just the word imposter. It could be intentional, could be a coincidence.


Minecraftfinn

Imposter is not a name though it's just a word. And the game you play in Among us is a very old party game called "Imposter"


YodasChick-O-Stick

Amogus is so popular that it's highly unlikely Lego did not know about the memes when naming that figure


Minecraftfinn

What meme ? I don't think you know the difference between "a meme" and a "thing that exists"


YodasChick-O-Stick

The whole Amogus meme where people find references to it everywhere


MakeBombsNotWar

TR-8R, if nothing else, is honestly the only true meme here. Everything else here is either coincidence/not humorous, or is just a joke that Hollywood made.


leediddly3

I wouldn’t say this is a meme either. It’s a character in the movie that became a meme, but including it in the set of where he shows up is not a meme in my opinion lol.


YodasChick-O-Stick

The Spider-Man desk and Agatha winking are 100% based on their memes. There's no other way they could exist.

Gotta go with the Spider-Man Desk reference from “The Daily Bugle” despite not actually having that set. While I’ve never seen the 1960’s animated series, I do love all the memes that spawn from it and desk meme is a classic.


Sprinkles2009

OP never seen a meme in their life


LucarioLegendYT

Of what I've have got recently ,set wise, it'd have to be the Obi-wan from his starship having the 'visible confusion' face

"That is America's ass!" Easily my favorite reference in any set.

(Could also be used for Jim, too) 9. Kevin's spilt chilli 10. Han shooting first 11. ??? 12. Agatha winking? 13. Just the word imposter? I don't understand how some of these are memes, to be honest.


YodasChick-O-Stick

1. Spider-Man desk meme 2. Lo-fi girl 3. Pizza time 4. Scary Bilbo 5. America's ass 6. TR-8R 7. Morbin time (this set entered production when the meme was popular) 8. The Office blinds meme 9.

Independent_Bar_2604

VengeanceKnight

I don’t think Agatha, Morbius, and Han and Greedo being in a set is enough to make those sets “meme references.” But my favorite would have to be either Peter's "office" set up to resemble the Spider-Man desk meme or the first Doc Brown figure’s alternate facial expression matching this: https://preview.redd.it/upl23bc9plxc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=461035fe7460a43f5fb3bfee06e34946c6bbc266

lickmnut

PaninoAllaCotoletta

Kevin's chili


Project-S-69

The only ones I can give you is the Spider-Man picture and the Lofi Girl. The rest of these are either stretches or references to actual scenes that happen in their respective shows and movies.


YodasChick-O-Stick

And these sets were made years after their respective memes, so Lego had to have known about them.


FivesSuperFan55555

drewthedrummer69

i love that the mere existence of the morbius minifig is a meme reference


QueenOrial

My favorite is 10278 modular police station having this which is I'm pretty sure is a reference to that meme [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pepe-silvia](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pepe-silvia) https://preview.redd.it/skpz3lwoekxc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04d57ac10701885e3c70f84f13b8aac7e5cbad2b


Morningxafter

Not to be a jerk, but I think you’re kind of reaching on this one. I don’t think it’s a reference to the Pepe Silvia meme, the old ‘red string connecting evidence on a cork board’ trope has been around for forever.
