VIDEO OF THE DAY: Bricks In B'More - 'The Wire' In Lego Form
Yep, that's right: another 'The Wire' video from us. We just can't help ourselves - but this is a good one. It's a stop-motion parody, with Lego figurines standing in for McNulty, Stringer Bell, Omar and the rest. Creating by Yahoo's Sketchy team, it covers parts of all five seasons in a little over four minutes, and features a whole bunch of inside jokes for fans.
If you haven't seen the show, the video contains some spoilers (but it might also give you enough knowledge to fake a conversation with a hardcore fan, so there's that). It also features pretty spot-on vocal impressions, smooth animation, and a lot of cartoonish gun violence. Check it out below:
