Did lego videos start IRL or are they an internet thing? I would like to make an article about them if they're internet.

Lego videos have also been incorporated for musical purposes.

The stop animation or (claymation) examples didn't exist or if they did then get popular until the internetz

Hmmm…

I think it falls with normal stop frame animation.

(KYM cliché warning) I don't think it's an internet meme.

@ Blubber

That's what I was wondering about. Thanks anyways.

When I was a kid I made lego stop-motion videos using a video camera and vhs tapes. Lego as a medium for stop-motion video is a pretty old idea. Digital video editing and online video sharing increased the exposure of the form, but that can be said of any type of video. I wouldn't consider all black and white video to be "the black and white meme" or even all Garry's Mod videos to be "the Garry's Mod Meme." Instead, I focus on memes within a medium rather than calling an entire medium a meme.
