Does anyone else get really wide-eyed when you see him making this neat little chunk of lego that would realistically take you about five minutes, and then he shoves forty of them into frame?
That's the best part of these videos. "Here's 12 simple steps for this build. Now repeat 80 times."
That's all these builds really boil down to, one connection that allows a little flex, then spammed a few hundred times.
While it's super interesting, I'm wondering if it has any adverse effect on the lego pieces having been stressed that much.
@@tomd96 yes, it does. That's why these techniques are "illegal"; they put undue stress on pieces and can break them
@@ryantafoya487 Yeah I mean *HE BENT THE LEGO*
What, you didn't see the obvious ball shape in there?
Imagine if he starts building something complex and at the end there's no twist to it. Like, it's literally just a normal Lego build.

Me: Yep, there it is.
" ohp. theere it is."
*LMAO*
That was what I was like as well 😂
Have to admire how you took advantage of the pieces not being perfectly fitting. There is intentional wiggle room, obviously, otherwise no LEGO could be built. So you focused on extending this whiggle room to the maximum, creating round bendings
funny lego sphere
They do fit perfectly, thats not whats happening here.
@@MrAlexmasi ok, what then?
@@magnitudefallout3944 just a clever design that takes advantage of the fact that a 1 wide Lego can rotate on a stud

I mean, he's not wrong, I really wasn't expecting that lol
How does he even think this kind of stuff would be possible? Insane kind of math thing.
Nobody was expecting that tbh
@@williamkirklin6120
He likely spends hours building to get these to perfection.
I expected it 😏
I knew he would bend it because he called his chanel like that, but the way he bendt it was a suprise

Welcome to lego warcrimes
Me: watching the Brick Bending channel
Also me: WOAH HE JUST BENT THE BRICKS
at first, I thought this was a legal build. THAT I wouldn’t have expected.
I love the mathematician's approach to showing the build. Once you prove it once, you can repeat it without having to show your work
"This LEGO build is not what you're expecting"
You mean it isn't going to involve excessive use of illegal building techniques that make the bricks squeak in agony?
Hmm... Oh-I can hear it... "Earghhhhhhhhh!"
"OH GOD NOT AGAIN **scream** ""
😂 fair
@@BrickBending these builds may be "illegal" but the are really fun to look at anyway
I LOVE AND HATE IT
Seeing the stress the structure was holding while you were building it had me hoping for one of those mechanisms that stores kinetic energy until you break it. Like those popsicle stick things, or a Prince Rupert's Drop. Maybe you could build one in the future? That would be really cool
It seems like when you attach the last brick, due to how the bricks are connected, they separate relieving the outwards tension that would have made the part want to pop out. That is amazing!
This person made a round sphere with square lego bricks. We are the primitive caveman viewing the monolith. We are just now turning a stick into a tool for hunting and this person has already made a Dyson Sphere
No. We are not even humans… we are… bacterias
slowbro never said this.

Thank you slowbro for sending me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole starting at “dyson sphere”
@@trollge3712 Man you should've just watched the Kurzgesagt video on Dyson Spheres
My thoughts:
1. Well that escalated quickly.
2. It seems I've been playing peasant legos my whole life.
Thanks for this comment. I went through this entire thought process as I was watching.
That was literally me when I was watching this :)
Please don’t say legos
@@zermon_ghostyt4060 no one likes you. Legos man.
Ah yes peasant legos. what a fine day it is good sir may i interest you in some noble legos?
Great build and I love the clicks of the lego!
Also at 5:59 you can hear like the sound effects the lego bricks make in the lego games
At this point the last thing I am expecting from this channel is a regular build
About a third of the way in I was thinking "huh, I wonder if you could form a Lego ball..."
And then when I got to about 2/3rds when the bending started my eyes lit up in simultaneous horror and excitement.
By the end I was on the edge of my seat, expecting it to explode like a Star Trek Omega particle.
I wonder how many folks will get that Star Trek reference lmao
@@swishfish8858 I am guessing only 7 of 9 will get the reference. 😉
@@swishfish8858 just starting watching Star Trek (but just TNG for now). Maybe I'l understand it soon? But it's probably not referenced in TNG...
@@trickytreyperfected1482 Nope, it's in Voyager. You've still got a whole DS9 to go before you get to it!
@@swishfish8858 DS9 is the best IMO 🥰
Every build you do makes me feel an overwhelming feeling of wrongness and a macabre fascination
When he started bending the legos I was thinking “ok, the legos are going to explode in his face soon” so, good job not making them explode 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The clicking of lego pieces sticking together is so satisfying
You had us in the first half, I'm not gonna lie. I thought the unexpected thing was going to be that it was a legal build for a change. Then the bending started.
Now that you mention it, this channel’s not called “Brick Bending” for no reason.
Me: “No no you will not get away with this Lego torturing method!”
Him: “Yes, yes I will”
Something about the sound of lego bricks under stress is so satisfying to me
just hereing the clicks on the lego bricks is just so nice to hear.
I can just imagine how annoying it would be to deconstuct this
Hmm? Deconstruction only requires a baseball bat and a ShopVac....
Postmodernism is the haven of the ratfuck.
It's easy really, you just make the mistake of handling the finished piece in any way and it explodes into a million little pieces!
Just throw it at the wall
Nah it’s not horrifying just painful as it explodes on you
Deconstuct??
"This Lego build is not what your expecting."

Let me guess
Rookie mistake. Corrected.

What's funny is that from all the other videos I have seen, I thought exactly what I would not expect to see and I thought, well I haven't seen a sphere yet. Ba boom! There it is. Your title was a great crutch to a fan of your work. But to others they may not think to have seen a sphere build. Excellent job! I am in awe at all of your creations. There's so many questions I have you should consider an ask me anything video.
Thank you! And I will do an AMA at some point. It would be fun.
@@BrickBending what’s a AMA
@@FireFoxie1345 Ask Me Anything
@@peterchu5609 ok
Gonna add this note: whether he realizes it or not the way he put the 1x2s together for the lines that are the bending parts pretty much optimizes how they can bend in the way he was bending them
Wow, was not expecting that at all, but it was satisfying to watch and hear, ima go build Somma my Lego now, thx for the inspiration
man this is like therapeutic to relax to
4:07 - when you realise the Brick Bender is MAKING A SPHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I smiled for the rest of the video🙃
Very impressive dude, keep on doing your thing, Brick Bender 😁
3:50 Possibly my anxiety was *OVER 9000* 👁️👄👁️
i love how this is done by simple and even just a few sorts of bricks,, i wanna try this one day,,
I am super enjoyed the talent behind it, how you can overcome all tough by lego instructions, everything you ever knew … he’ll yeah a complex sphere from lego. Now I’ve seen everything 😂
I don’t know but for some reason I was watching is with huge beat of scare and tension that it would explode, that wiggle of lego parts getting connected, literally get me worried with high anxiety up till the last second.. omg, there is much less tension and adrenaline trough out a horror movies.
Dangerous )) I loved it
As Romans said: “Geometry and Symmetry creates beauty”
*makes grid-like structure*
"I see nothing wrong or surprising here"
*takes two ends and connects them to a triangle*
"okay I wasn't expecting that... It's gonna be spherical shaped... This is so smart"
This is the first video of your where I went ‘no stop!’ when you started bending the legos, the noise was unsettling.
This is my newasmr / relaxing videos to sleep, its so satisfying
I have to ask: do you use any mathematical calculations when planning these builds, or is it all trial and error? Regardless, HOLY BRICK, that's impressive.
I was thinkin the same thing
if you watch this video he kinda explains how he does it and how it started, hopefully this helps ruclips.net/video/-NUvJxwJB54/видео.html
@@Dead-vh4kq Thank you, kindly! That was interesting & satisfied my curiosity! I appreciate you taking the time to respond!
My question is how didn't it brake.
The pressure of twisting a straight structure to curve is REALLY high.
@@-0pp0zytez27 it's not really curving in reality, there is some lose on certain link that will make it "bendable" if there is enough piece to use that lose
Dude was prob thinking to himself one day “Man screw this 3 dimensional society, I wanna live in the 4th dimension!” and then started doing this stuff.
still third dimension
wonderful work my friend
That builds are so amazing.
I knew this would happen because
1) spheres are the end of bending stuff
2) the description
Just when I think I figured it out, he's bends it another way and my mind is just blown.
the fact that there’s no music or narration and all you can hear are the clicks and squeaks and strains of the bricks makes me feel. I don’t know what emotion it makes me feel. but it sure does.
This reminds me about an out of body experience I had growing up that involved Round Cubes
2:36 would make a good game of tic tac toe
Ikr
These videos makes our days better
I feel like this belongs in an exhibit of some sort. Love your mind bending work.
Is it just me that finds the Lego clicking together so satisfying?
Another completely innovative build. My basic Lego brain just can't comprehend these kinds of builds, even when completed
"This Lego build is not what you're expecting"
All of the builds on this channel are things that I don't expect and always amaze me
Genuinely proud of myself for figuring this out by the time he put the longer strips of blocks together
This is the guy they grab to build round things in Lego games
I dare you to make a globe out of that
Bruh that one brick be like: “Aight imma head out now”
When?
That sense of superiority when you were expecting "something bendy"
Gosh I love brick bending. Hope I can afford Legos someday. Thanx for the inspiration.
I knew as soon as the first line was built. Not only was there side to side movement, but you could see the built in top and bottom movement. Great stuff.
Ok this build is actually pretty cool and if I too had enough flat 2 pieces to fill a river I may consider following along
Your grammar is wrong. It’s spelt ocean.
@@gjproductions9337 that is not even grammar lol
@@A.Grapefruit youre not even a sea lmao
@@kennystimpson2775 the what 😳
I don’t know what’s more impressive. Your ideas and execution or Legos design and manufacturing tolerances.
I came into this thinking that is was just another clickbait title. Man, was I wrong. I definitely didn't expect that. Form and function, plus a side note of complex simplicity. Well done!
This is so aesthetically appealing architecturally speaking. I think it would make a beautiful building with Windows all over it. Initially I thought I would want the building to sit with a square foundation but once you put it on the triangle side down, it actually is more aesthetically appealing in my opinion..
Awesome video keep it up..
By now, this is exactly the kind of build we expect from you! I was actually hoping you would build an official Lego model, just to throw us all for a loop!
There’s no denying that this is one of the best creations that brick bending has made and if not best then at least top 3
Beautiful. I hope it goes in the art Museum
Now cover it and make your own Death Star.
That base is fully operational!
Neat. I love it when you put the triangle at the base
This is the most amazing one yet.
I am proud to say that I was one step ahead of you, and actually did a pretty decent job of predicting where you were going with this! Very nicely done btw
And this is why LEGO hasn't hired. They fear your power!
nah, it's bending the pieces and is a hella' illegal technique
@@DigitalHeliumJumper that sounds like someone who fears his power
Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.
really well done!
This is like lego asmr,
And im here for it :D
Also, i love how this man is so sure of what hes doing, chefs kiss video 👌🏻👌🏼👌🏽👌🏾👌🏿
🤯 Amazing! The ultimate Lego sphere 😙🤏 Can we expect a tesseract next since the third dimension has been mastered?? 😄 The complexity of the smaller components really adds to the suspense of the build. Thanks for showing the build from its very start! I cant even begin to imagine what compels you to try those minute configurations and then assemble them in the ways you do. I acknowledge your Lego wizardry, sir. 🧙♂️
I expected an illegal Lego build and I was right!
This is really cool, though.
After you made the tic tac toe board, I actually started thinking that it'd form a ball but I was not prepared for the sound of bending Lego bricks.
*Insert obligatory Obi Wan Kenobi quote from Episode IV*
This build was actually exactly what I was expecting lol, once I saw he was doing a mesh like pattern a few minutes in I was like "hes making a ball". Maybe I've just watched too many of his vids
That is so cool, love it 🙂💯
The moment I saw you make a regular flat square with no bending, I guessed it would end up a sphere. That might be because I've already used my kid's square and triangle magnet tiles to build essentially the same structure. 😅
I got it the moment I saw the lines and connectors. A sphere is pretty much the only continuous object you could possibly make with those particular parts.
When you slid the MASSIVE stack of straight bits onto screen, I said out loud, incredulously "Is he making a SPHERE?!?"
Truly amazing!
that was exactly what i was expecting thank you for filling up my satisfaction
how many blocks do you have
This is brutal
I need this on Ideas, seriously, this is so cool, I want it to become a Lego Ideas set
He can actually make an accurate version of the death star with that globe 🔥🔥🔥
Did you just built a sphere using rectangles and squares??
This is actually a really genius way to map out a globe onto a plane and stretch it back into a globe.
The problem is the distortion of the shapes of the land masses when flattened to a plane. For instance, on a standard mercader projection map, Iceland looks about the game size as Africa when in reality it's a lot smaller.
There isn't a real way around that, unfortunately. A perfect usable map is really an impossibility. Some distortion is required on projections. The Mercator projection is by far the most popular, but other maps are also out there that try to fix this issue, or represent the world in a different stretchy way. Some other projections include the Gall-Peters Projection, which I think is genuinely a worse projection of the world, but it has its own benefits. The two map projections you'd see the most other than the Mercator are the Mollweide Projection and the Goode's Homolosine Equal-Area Projection. I call it the "orange peel projection" personally, just because that's what happens when I peel an orange. That projection is probably one of the better ones. I'm unsure what this projection would be. All the squares stretch in unequal amounts and the corners are... well, they're not square.
Amazing!
this video made me increasingly anxious
This thing is way better than Peter and Ned's Death Star from Homecoming.
You're not wrong with that video title
I was expending another "flat" bendy boi, not a "3D" bendy boi
This is madness! When you start building round things in Lego, you're crossing into territory in which man was never meant to tread!
These Lego’s are taking “get bent” to a whole new level
