comment |
The Nightly News at Nine is a LEGO stop-motion animated comedy series about a team of reporters made by Dave Pickett. The series spans across several short videos that make up two full half-hour-long "Chapters". The videos are hosted on Pickett's YouTube channel BRICK 101, which also features a series of videos explaining how to build most of the characters and props featured in the videos, as well as several unrelated builds based on existing franchises. |

Aborted Arc: In many of the “How to Build” videos and other such behind-the-scenes insights, creator David Pickett hints at ideas he had planned to explore in future episodes of the show. With Chapter 3 never coming to be, most of these ideas went on the cutting room floor with it. |

Commercial Switcheroo: In "Robots! Robots! Robots!", a Belville doll wonders what to do with all the robots in her house until the announcer of the commercial asks "Got more robots than you know what to do with?", which makes her think the commercial is about a product that'll get rid of the robots. The commercial, however, isn't advertising such a product and instead suggests activities for the robots to do...that is, until the commercial suggests the robots fight in the Green Militia, revealing the commercial is actually a recruitment ad. |

This gets lampshaded in the next episode, in which Phil points out how similar the two are, even showing a comparison on both "interrogation" scenes to prove his point, in which Sherry brushes it off since many robots can be built similarly. |

comment |
Silly Reason for War: The colors Orange and Green are at war with each other across the videos. Yes, the colors themselves are at war, and it's stated a lot of damage occurs as a result. It apparently started because one Figurian decided to change their favorite color from green to orange. Lampshaded by Zundar, who suggests they could have settled it over a pie, or a nice fruit salad. |

Noodle Incident: When arguing about whether or not Robert Vylan should be hired as the new sportscaster, Sherry brings up an incident involving a tree. During Steve Deepsea's segment, a farmer he interviews mentions the "Horse Rebellion". Another civilian he interviews states that Malifios once tried to hypnotize muffins for something. According to Phil, Deepsea once got into hot water over something regarding flowers. When Sherry suggests Phil eat something other than pizza, Phil brings up "The Pretzel Incident". All we can tell from a provided image is somehow Phil acquired a massive pretzel and it didn't end well. |

Trademark Favorite Food: Phil loves pizza. He even states that he could eat all the pizza he wanted if he could. Legsharks are also very fond of anything shaped like a minifigure head, except pumpkins, as they're allergic. That is, unless you give them a green wizard hat. Then they basically go to town on those pumpkins with no reaction! |

Robert then attempts to talk about Ice Blockey in "The End of Sports," only to be stopped by Sherry before we can learn anything about it, meaning we still have no idea what "Ice Blockey" is. |

Color-Coded Characters: Blue for Phil and Red for Sherry. Also invoked regarding Green and Orange, which are at war with each other- Zundar is Green and the Eye of Eyes is Orange, which causes some beef between them. Most of the villainous characters, particularly those related to SVELT, have Green color schemes. |

Expy: K0P-3R is this to ROBOphelia. Not only do they share the exact same head and a similar model, but K0P-3R even interrogates one of the Cowboybots in the exact same manner as ROBOphelia did to a Pinchbot in "ROBOphelia vs. Grabbor": This gets lampshaded in the next episode, in which Phil points out how similar the two are, even showing a comparison on both "interrogation" scenes to prove his point, in which Sherry brushes it off since many robots can be built similarly. |

Complexity Addiction |
| | The Nightly News at Nine (Web Animation) / int_f6b698ac |
comment |
Complexity Addiction: Malifios's schemes tend to be either something that clearly doesn't work (such as making a machine that spins Octopi without doing any noticeable damage to New Block City, seeming pretty sure that it will), or too needlessly complex to work (he plans on setting a fire to a farm... By having a cow kick it as opposed to starting the fire himself. Amusingly, he gets kicked as soon as he gets initiative to start it on his own). Persephone Verada states that he could just get his degree in villainy if he just went for a more simple approach. |
