"Studs on side = SOS" makes way more sense than "studs not on top = snot" always thought that was so silly

@legoferrari14

SNOT is more versatile though as it can refer to both Studs on the Side _and_ Studs on the Bottom; the latter if it used an abbreviation would be "SOB" - you know what else shares that abbreviation? "Son of a b!t©h"

But the silliness is part of the fun, it's a toy, enjoy ridiculousness. Don't let the flames burn colder just because you're getting old.

I love when builders take something and just supersize it. Or the opposite where you take a regular size thing and try to build it super tiny with very few pieces.

I am in love with slightly-oversized bricks in that car

Man, those big bricks you built are precious, they should be in an official set to celebrate an anniversary or something, excellent work

Good ending

When the giant yellow and orange pieces are connected, that is an incredibly satisfying sound.

More of this kind of technique explaining would be great! I’ve heard it explained before but your visualization was amazing and succinct

I wish i had the knowledge to build this masterpieces. This gets me closer.

Very useful tip, and I love the oversized brick models! I first noticed this when I was building Tower Bridge and again when I built the Statue of Liberty... I just hadn't worked out the ratio!

It also strengthens the build too. If you can cover the seam with a brick, you’ll strengthen the build. The technique is used in real life construction

That first car is amazing, it took me a while to work it out. It's big!

Imagine in the future, we know this guy as the “Revolutionary behind LEGO SNOT Theorem”

This concept is very apparent when building the Lego Harry Potter Wizard Chess set (the main chess set I use at this point because it is a LOVELY conversation piece and just makes me happy). The sides of all 9 piece designs utilize SNOT bricks, meaning you’ve got to handle this concept 32 times when building this set lol.

This is how Lego Minecraft utility blocks are designed, with a 2x2 round plate underneath to easily move them. Although I do wish that it were a 3x3-stud grid instead of a 2x2, as that would have been much closer to minifigure scale even if perfect cubes aren't quite possible at that ratio. Still, it would have exponentiated the cost, meaning we would have gotten sets that were either less affordable or less expansive in terms of how much of a Minecraft scene could be represented. So while I initially had my grief with how the mobs, doors, torches, and item frames aren't to scale with the rest of the sets, I've come to accept it now that I've basically become a collector and builder of the sets. It just makes translating it into the game that much more challenging and fun.

The way his voice gets louder near the end is just perfect

The amount of thought that went into the proportions of Lego from the very beginning is amazing

I’d love to know how LEGO comes up with this stuff in the first place so it works out to such perfectly divided numbers, etc.

I always noticed this when I built legos as a kid. It helped a lot when I started. designing my own sets

Penguins are my favorite animal so I like the penguin that you have there.😊

2.5 by 1 is the curse for mech builders

This is something I have noticed for years, and used in all of my MOCs.

The last 5by2 sounded like the leader in Madagascar penguins

"THE FIVE BY TWO" very inspiring

John Mulaney came out at the end lmao

Blew my mind when I figured this out as a child.

My BF: "Dam, is it possible to get addicted to building logo?" Me: Having a secret lego room at my parents house since I was a kid 😅

I knew there had to be a golden ratio. Thanks man. I make a lot of MOC builds so this really helps

He always gives me Adam Scott vibes, love these videos!

I'd love a tutorial on the various building techniques to line up various "thicknesses"/offsets of SNOT pieces with bricks placed on top and various SNOT types, going in order from the headlight brick offset (which is quite useful in many ways) to SNOT bricks to bracket plates. It's quite interesting what you can do with them. For instance, two plates plus a bracket's thickness equals one stud, while headlight bricks provide enough offset to make smooth slopes from cheese slopes. And of course, you can use a SNOT brick to make a smooth transition between two of the 2x2+ curved slope w/side ridge bricks. (Hopefully you know what I mean with that last one; I don't know the technical name, but it was used a lot for transparent windshields in micro models and small minifig models back in the day, from Star Wars to Tiny Turbos to even Atlantis.) One SNOT alignment technique that particularly impressed me was used in the LEGO Creator Majestic "Butthole" Tiger's legs where two different SNOT types were aligned with plates.

A headlight brick and a bracket make a height difference of one plate.

5×2 = The LeGolden Ratio

Thank you, i did not know this and that just kicks up my understanding of lego design several notches

My man really did build giant legos out of legos. Respect.

that rule is very useful to create any cube burr puzzle.

“What happened to legos” -Professor Kane

It’s crazy how Lego thought about all these ways to put bricks together

Only summoning if there is a discount for a guarantee featured. I do still need Yamcha and Turles for the collection

so nerdy, helpful, and funny

I know this concept now and I will literally never notice it ever again.

I honestly wish Lego had cubic dimensions. They did try that with Lego modulex a long time ago, but it didn't catch on with Lego sets. It was also at a smaller scale than regular Lego.

Building larger LEGO pieces to explain the concept shows his dedication 🫡

"On the statue of Liberty, on this fence, 5:2, five by two FIVE BY TURRRR!!!!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂

That is nice. Man I watch some many random shorts on so many different topics that I now have so much knowledge that my brain has no idea what to do with. And now this is one of them.

Has the same energy as "Merchandising. Merchandising. Merchandising!" from Space Balls

Great quick vid

Bro slowly turned into spider ham

Those giant bricks are so satisfying!

Man being 31 and buying legos now I live this.

Man I love upscaled Lego pieces made of Lego pieces.

Known this for like 20 years but never realised how much it is actually used

More of these Lego design tips please!!!

That's a really cool way of demonstrating it

This is why I still love legos

Oh yeah! I remember reading about this in a magazine like a decade ago! One day I’ll make use of it to!

Am i the only one that started hearing it like a magic spell toward the end?

never thought about this, TYSM for sharing

I learned about this topic the hard way when building a corner intersection. Lots of 1x1 plates and 1-wide SNOT 90° plates on top of each other later, I realized something similar to this that made the build 10x simpler.

Casually building large lego pieces to scale is such a huge flex god dayum.

NO WAY yellow face speaker box

As someone who mainly collects architecture sets, I know this rule very well 😂

Thank you for teaching me this

Thanks for the tip, im hoping for more in the future 😊

This is something I noticed about a year and a half ago, though I haven't used it to my advantage while building

Nice! Good stuff! 😎👍🏻

1 stud = 2.5 plates. You'll also notice that the thin part of a bracket and the negitive space on the headlight brick are both 0.5 plates thick.

Bro is nikocado but slim straight n smart

Anger is bad for your health Goku:🤬🤬🤬

he sounded like bo burnham there at the end lol

2 plates plus the slim part of a bracket also make up the width of one brick. Also a very useful technique

There’s even specific bricks with 2 snot studs that are 5 plates tall, makes this so much easier

Awesome thanks! Will tell my 7 year old who builds daily, he'll love this. And it's a good little maths learning too!

Okay that is actually really useful. Any tips for sideways structural building?

imagining all the Charlie Day conspiracy theory memes from this now

Nikocado if he was into legos instead of ramen

I'm sorry....five by what? 😂

Here's a Lego build recommendation. It Titanfall character, both the main character Jack Cooper and his Titan BT7472 with every single weapon and core attachment

I've noticed this technique especially when i started buying and building Bluebrixx sets

this would have been great to know as a kid

You should have a model made of parts made of smaller parts that are made of still smaller parts, with as many iterations as possible

Yeah, I figured this out when building a Lego scythe this would’ve been helpful to know before hand instead of figuring it out the way I did

FIVE BY TWO! (Major line piece energy)

The funny thing is when i first figured this out it was when i was messing with the Minecraft lego sets

Did you know I am at a Lego Land hotel right now😂

Today I learned Lego Hank Green exists Good day indeed

THIS IS SO USEFUL ive been building and messing around and trying to get it to work. if i knew this it wouldve been so much easier than just trying random combos LOL

Cheesey Studios uses this technique in his Lego Minecraft world for a game-accurate look

FIVE BY TWO!! Dumbledor said calmly

The five by two at the end reminded me of PEPE SILVIA

alright i subbed these are great

its the principal that lego minecraft uses sometimes, but should be doing all the time
