James May Toy Stories Episode 5 Part 1

[mickdasic]

building a house out of lego. how hard can it be?

[Gameviewer1999]

Thumbs up if u got here cuzof Top Gear!

[kribdyr]

Anyone knows the song at 00:09 ??

[Entrayalicious]

I didnt know that Lego meant play well in danish.. And im a dane..

[Canama139]

@Entrayalicious It's actually a portmanteau of two Danish words, if I recall correctly.

[Entrayalicious]

@Canama139 I translated it and portmanteau meant bag.. So i dunno what it means, and i can see no way of Lego meaning play well

[Joorin4711]

@Entrayalicious It's the contraction of "leg godt", as far as I know. If you want to know more about such contractions, go to Wikipedia with the fancy port word. ;)

[Entrayalicious]

@Joorin4711 Looking at it with the letters i can see it,. but the pronouncing of the words dosnt fit with it :b The 'e' in leg sounds like a, and the 'o' in godt sounds like å. Thinking of it, we have a difficult way of spelling many things

[LOOOLZZ90]

Thumbs Up if you love The Perdauntic Spaniel man known as James may.

[BBnanner]

that giant lego house must be hell on the giant vacuum cleaner

[Zactimus]

thumbs up if you can't see the dislike bar.

[Valhure1]

I can ride my bike with no handlbars

6:35

[antonioscheel]

I remember the day when I use to get Lego in my Happy meal! those where the days!

[737boeingfreak]

One of the bricks came off the thing with all the clutch mechanisms.

[niebells]

really sad, it was demolished.. but i still can appreciate his effort, what a unique thing he's done!

[djbanizza]

They should use Technic parts to strengthen the beam ...

[Mayna00]

Haha, notice how James' thumb twitches when he says 'sex' at 1:39!

<3

[Michaisi]

Is that the piece of land May said that wanted to buy in the Oz Clarke program?

[sphoney]

I call an eighter a double, because a square (four studs) is a unit. Just sayin', 's how we roll where I'm from.

[Monicaplay123]

Lego means 'Play well' in danish?

Not quite, darling, 'Play well' is 'Leg godt'

But I'm guessing it's a contraction of 'leg' (play) and 'godt' (well or good)

[kpongr2]

What was the program called, that May mentioned at 3:44 ????

[joevictor53]

@kpongr2 James May's Top Toys

[EternalChaos93]

That black house has my name on it! haha

[Duds360]

2 people can't afford lego

[iAmAnonymousTom]

Thumbs up if you think "Mega Bloks" (yes, it is spelled that way) can shove a Lego up their a**es!

"On September 14, 2010, the European Court of Justice ruled that the 8-peg design of the original Lego brick "merely performs a technical function [and] cannot be registered as a trademark".

F*ck you Mega Bloks, f*ck you with a Lego Brick. -_-

[RatzaChewy]

@skinnyloser13 The BBC has a blanket agreement with the music industry, so provided it's not being sold they can use almost anything for free.

[SuperAthenaD]

1:42 -- I love his kitchen! :D

[Trait23]

Faculty of Toys? Say what?!

[DarkSouls010]

Thumbs up if Cracked got you here.

[blackhoundgames]

i wished they made soem more of these

[TheMindreaderNinja]

What is the song at about 08.16 and again at about 09.00 called? :-)

[skinnyloser13]

why does British tv always have better background music in every episode? is it cheaper to get property rights for it there than in the US or something?

[TacticalHub]

@skinnyloser13 The BBC is a state owned broadcaster and the largest in the world. The BBC has an agreement with all the major music labels and can use any music they like pretty much. This agreement extends to private production companies that the BBC commissions.

[Mr908j]

like this

[qgan]

LEGO!!!! the only toy i've every played when i was young

[tottots61]

2 people never played with Lego

[BigAndTall666]

Modern LEGO is FUCKED UP and the good old days are gone, the "smart" salesmen and designers from Billund SUCKS!

[s7apster]

"Now was that really exciting or am I just a bit of an idiot" :D

[obenrob]

LEGO from Denmark! =)

[BigAndTall666]

@obenrob The concept was invented by a Brit and bought by the later Danish producer!

[touge242]

knee deep in lego? yes please.

[EndlessCalleman]

The song, begining at 6:38... WHATS I CALLED?! =D

[YorchMex]

I always end up doing some kind of Lego Robot!! :(

[meamjustme]

So i dare to say, on only this episode.That there is a game better than the real thing :$

Anybody know what minecraft is?

[sphoney]

@meamjustme I do.. but I prefer making stuff in the physical world, myself.

[Rangeroversport12]

@meamjustme minecraft is epic!

[gagalitenkattnr1]

at 3:31 one brick's missing!

[kingofkeyboards]

sometimes I actually enjoy watching james on his own productions like this rather than on TopGear. of course I love both regardless.

[lilpyl]

james house is so much more simple than clarksons and hammonds, i envy that

[ELuhn]

I was visiting London when I heard on the television that some presenter was asking for the public's help in building a Lego house. This was before I knew of Top Gear and James May. I'm so sorry now that I missed out on it.

[7hink]

I'm sure many people have already thrown this out there, but I love May in this program.

Where I think a lot of shows would be (& are) happy to let their premise ride solely on the "wow" or "stunt" factor, I feel as though May brings a simplicity and earnest enthusiasm to things. A genuine excitement and enjoyment for what he's talking about that has me connecting with it on a deeper level then "Wow, That's A Lot Of God Damned Legos".

When I watch this I'm not just impressed, I'm inspired.

[niebells]

@7hink very true

[gixG17Archive]

@7hink

It's much better than American TV.

[277kevin]

@7hink-If u love him so much why don't u marry him

[madhorn1]

this is actually episode 6

[bix1995]

@madhorn1 no, it was episode 5 in the uk where it originally aired, it was episode 6 almost everywhere else when it aired around 6 months later.

[codemannz]

I've seen these episodes many times and it never gets old!

[nieson0727]

THE LEGO EPISODE!!! This show makes the world a better place. Thanks for uploading.

[randomdanishman]

im from denmark, and im almost 15. but i love lego fu_kin mutch!

[jhi67]

Best show in the world besides top gear :D

[PS3CRAZY96]

Its good watching the Top Gear presenters on something other than Top Gear once and a while

[tsage2007]

00:05 the very first lego with the cars that wern't made from bricks :D thats so cool, and very vauable.

[WayToSaveTheWorld]

I like James' kitchen.

[william59glersh]

Anyone know the name of the song at 2:22?

[kartulipuder]

What if you place lego bricks vertically, so that the beams wouldn't be actually stuck on the house in a classic way?

[jurielgg]

but, more importantly, a ponytail! haha gotta love James May

[4snarecrash]

the killers, flobots, kings of leon... some of the music in the show blows my mind! in a good way of course...

[EIN771]

@4snarecrash mr may seems to have a good taste in music

[minipancho94]

im actauly using my legos for my weapon prototype :P i currently have a stand for the lense for the lasers.....

[tankerkk]

James May=Amazing host.

[bond1011]

@tankerkk AGREED!! :)

[Charapova100]

Denbies!! WOOHOO!! :) My brother helped with his house ^^

[TereruTsuki]

Finally something Denmark can be proud of :D Go Denmark!

What an epic show...

[kberzok]

Why doesn't he talk about Technics?

[TheLegoshow101]

@kberzok i hate technic because they are so hard to make

[kberzok]

@TheLegoshow101 They aren't much harder to use than original style legos and open a whole new world of possibilities....

[negutzcht]

@TheLegoshow101 what's really challenging is combining original-style Lego's with Technics mechanisms... which is very rewarding, once you finish a project! (and then put that with Lego Mindstorms? holy cow, that's a dream project i like to make someday, if it weren't for its combined steep price! =)

[2AgentSmith2]

so that is his fiat panda he mentions so often in top gear

[Femmenition]

08:08 = Evil James

[tlsviddies]

Sex, the dance, footmassages xD ROFL

[Planetwatts]

God, even to this day I still LOVE Lego. Lego was a huge part of my childhood. Thank you pully87 for the upload and thank you James May for doing this :D

[MrUsername1987]

[TheMrDobbins]

[drumbum1010]

[thundergod989]

[tannw138]

[codemannz]

@TheMrDobbins and the lovely student lady from the meccano episode.

[johnchannetshow]

[nitromenoob]

@TheMrDobbins you have a lego dick?

[RokkerBoyy]

@TheMrDobbins you only have one lego? you poor child

[Tazzillekki1]

@TheMrDobbins Oh I just looove how nervous she sounds.

[St1gar]

@TheMrDobbins

If you find that attractive, you really don't have very high standards at all, do you?

[pizzapingvin]

what a complete waste of time and money

[TheSzeder]

mivan ember nem volt gyerekszobád?:D

[lparker0]

The music around 6:36 sounds like the song Handelbars. Am I correct? Oh, and thank you for posting this. In Canada it is difficult for us to get these programs.

[novembergraveyard]

Yes it's very difficult and I prefer the BBC over the crap on american television.

[oliroolz]

@lparker0 yep its handlebars...good song

[IneedTodisco]

yeah i think its that song....

[coltlovex]

i want to know the names of the theme song. iv heard it befor some where :/

[Rotard12a]

The intro isn't any song in particular. Just a bit of theme music Gil Cang made specifically for the show, and isn't really available anywhere.

However, if you look up Advent Children "Calling" the melody after the intro is almost exactly the same.

[Xsarabee]

Thank you so much for uploading this episode! It's such a lovely Christmas present. :)

[SixGunAce]

Thank you so much for posting all of this. It really made my day. Us yanks have a hard time getting a hold of these shows.

[landybob]

[icanhaslego]

they should've used truss frames

[NhanInk]

omg your so awesome! Pully87 thank you!

[Spin359]

Great
