This episode: Action Movie Kid!
(babbling)
(mechanical whir, explosion)
Whoa!
- (explosion) - Jesus Christ! Okay.
(explosion)
Oh god, what the heck did he just do?
I've seen this.
That must use some crazy apps.
Great special effects!
(babbling)
- (laser blasts, blocks tumble) - Whoa!
(chortles)
(laser blasts, blocks tumble)
That gun, though.
That'd be the coolest Lego ever.
(in video) Kind of like a real gun.
Kind of, yeah. Your father probably made it.
How does he do that?
(kid grunts)
Oh, yay!
- (in video) The floor's lava. Yeah. - Is this real?
The floor is lava.
The floor is really lava!
That is good CG.
(nervous squeal) That was crazy!
A lightsaber. It's going to be real.
Star Wars lightsaber. Look out!
(lightsaber warbling)
Uh... you're gonna have to pay for that, sir.
He's just so adorable, and he's destroying everything.
Are they sure they're teaching their kid the right message?
♪ (Batman transition music) ♪
Batman!
Okay, does he have a Superman shirt on?
'Cause if he does, he needs to get that whole thing straight.
(Dad) You remember how to use it?
- He's got the mask, the cape... - ♪ (theme starts) ♪
Oh, he's got the theme song!
Oh! That's a very tall ceiling.
Hmm... I don't know.
Would the father actually put the kid up-- ugh. (chuckles)
(kid babbles)
What is he gonna do now?
- (wind hissing) - Oh gosh. What is--
Oh, God!
(Dad) You forgot your luuunch!
(silence)
Cuckoo?
Oh, my gosh. How did he film that one?
This is genius.
I need to learn how to do that.
(children) Question time!
(Finebros) So what was that kid doing in all of these videos?
Being a superhero!
Things that belong in action movies, pretty much.
He had superpowers, except it was some kind of video editing,
and it just looked so realistic.
To have superpowers, I mean, that would be awesome.
It's awesome!
I mean, who wouldn't want to fly?
Who wouldn't want to have a lightsaber?
(Finebros) So how does it feel, after watching these videos,
knowing there's a kid out there
that can really do all of these things?
I would be scared if I see him.
If that was real, that would be insane.
Is that real?
Oh, yeah, he can totally do it. Totally.
It's totally not effects or anything.
It's totally real!
- Um... - The floor's obviously lava.
I'm going to have to be a buzzkill.
I don't think he actually can do these things.
(Finebros) So you're saying this is not real?
No. No, I'm sorry, Benny.
Would you really have lava in your house?
I mean, come on, let's be logical right now.
It's just super animation.
Because Lego doesn't blast.
There's no engineering in the Lego that "ables" it to do that.
(ding!)
(Finebros) So do you think this is real?
- Tell me the truth after I say it, okay? - (Finebros) Okay.
Hmm... yes!
(Finebros) Well... it's not real.
How did he do it then, huh?
(Finebros) If it's not real, how is he doing all of this?
- Do you have any idea? - I think it's just animation.
I'm guessing CGI?
They use this thing called a computer.
And they use this thing called editing.
I'm assuming it's the dad,
'cause the mom probably might not do that.
Sexist!
I've heard of the videos before.
The dad basically did graphics for it all, 'cause he was a--
was he an animation guy for DreamWorks?
(Finebros) Well, you're right, it is the dad.
- Shocker, but, you know... - (laughter)
- You could tell-- - Right back atcha!
(Finebros) This kid's dad is a special effects artist.
(whispers) I want that dad.
That would be an awesome dad.
I really wish my dad would do that.
He's good with computers but not that good.
- He wins the Best Dad award. - (crew snickers)
My dad's second place.
That really shows how much he does love his son, though,
that he does want to do all these things with him
and that he is spending this time just to do this.
(Finebros) So a lot of people say they wish that their parents
knew how to do these special effects
so they could make videos like this.
But, you know, you could learn the programs
and become your own special effects artist.
Who wants to do that? Seriously?
That's so much brain work.
That'd be really hard.
I'd try, but totally fail.
- That would be pretty cool. - That'd be very fun.
- I think I could do it. - (Finebros chuckle)
It's not that hard.
I'd love to do that!
Like, sometimes I make movies, and I pretend I'm a spy.
And I would like to edit in lava so that I'm jumping over lava,
'cause right now, all I have is me doing pretty boring things
as a spy, like talking.
(Finebros) So when this kid gets older
and looks back on these videos, how do you think he'll feel?
Awesome.
He's probably gonna be proud of it.
Oh, he's gonna laugh.
"Wait, was I... did I do that?"
Hopefully, he'll be proud.
If he's embarrassed, I don't know.
(chuckling) Like, he should be proud.
Everyone has baby videos and is embarrassed.
But these are, like, cool.
"Wow, look what my dad did for me back then.
This is what I really wanted to do when I was a kid,
and look what my dad did."
(Finebros) Do you think he's gonna be upset when he gets older...
about this?
Why would he be mad at his dad for doing this?
I think I know what he's gonna do.
When he gets older, he's gonna fart in his face.
He's going to open his mouth. Tell him to turn around.
Pfft! Right in your mouth.
(Finebros) That's gross, Lucas!
So they call this kid something.
What is your guess on what his superhero name is?
Super Kid?
Super Kid.
Super Ray Gun.
The Action Kid.
(Finebros) Close! They call him the Action Movie Kid.
Aw, darn it!
It's not that catchy like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman.
It's pretty good.
Action Movie Kid! Cute!
(Finebros) So finally, if the Action Movie Kid's dad
was watching this, what would you want to say to him?
Hi! Adopt me!
You have a special gift.
Please teach me how to be Action Movie Kid.
You should teach all the other dads to be awesome as you!
I would love for you to teach me how to do this.
I want you to make me fly.
I really appreciate how much time he's spending with his kid.
It's really an important thing for a parent to do,
is to spend more time with their kid.
I mean, that helps their kid become a better person,
so that way, when they have kids,
they can treat them the same way.
