0 IQ LEGO INSTRUCTIONS

LEGO Instructions but they're confusing!

In this video we look at 0 IQ LEGO instruction steps that are confusing and unnecessary at first glance. Odd LEGO bricks being used, cursed LEGO instructions, weird building techniques and more! However, some of these instructions are actually genius! Why? Watch the entire video to find out!

The Ferrari one is definitely reasonable. And the inclusion of a small container of pins for 80036 is clever.

I know Lego is well known for sometimes overpricing their products, but I don't think including an overpriced set of earbuds even counts as a mistake.

Also probably for the printed piece in the ferrari, it's cheaper to not put an extra line of bricks into the box than to print on all of them.

After rebuilding LEGO from the 80s and 90s, I noticed how the new set instructions are insanely easy and long with sometimes 2 or so brics to set. While in the 80s you got 10 or so bricks and had to have an engineerkng degree or be Sherlock to fit them, failing and only realising it a few steps later. But it was such a gratifying process and it didnt take 100 to 500 pages to do.

The Typewriter is that way because you don’t put it all together right away but you need it to be built already when you get to different set. It will make sense if you ever build it, which I recommend, great build.

1:14 for those of you who don’t know, that is from the Star Wars Poe Dameron’s X-Wing.

Another note on the Ferrari: Some have pointed out that this may have also been a way of getting more of that print into circulation, especially since you could replace that piece with a regular 1x1 red plate and have two extra printed ones.

5:18 Lego Technic Campfire. My favourite lego set of all time! 😂

Regarding the typewriter:
I suppose the reason they ask you to bunch them up is to clarify you don't have to actually lay them out properly. Once you start building the mechanism, you're gonna have to drop those pieces one by one into axles. If they had shown them laying in order, I would assume a good percentage of people would painstakingly do so thinking they're gonna be joined like that or whatever. Plus, they're quite unstable on their own.

And as for the clickbaity thumbnail, that spinny boi is the most essential part of the mechanism. It's what allows the whole thing to work as a typewriter. And it's very, very easy to put it in the wrong way without noticing, which would break the functionality.

For the “campfire” one, I actually know why is it like that, because I have the typewriter set. The pile actually doesn’t mean what, it just mean that you have to put it away for some time, and it will come to use later.

3:05 Best transition to a sponsor ever :)

5:44 I'm pretty sure those "campfires" are so the person reading the instructions knows to make multiple builds, rather than overlooking the "9x", which is incredibly easy to miss.

[Dtube]

I get the piling one, it's so the instructions are more specific on "group these parts together so you don't get them mixed up". Lots of more "lego" styled way of instructions could be argued here, but I think piling them up gives a better idea with 3 dimensional shapes than having them all lined up with one angle of the piece (or variants of neatly placed pieces). Having them all in one angle might not be the easiest to discern for everyone and I think this improves accessibility for more people who might have trouble with spotting the difference.

Maybe the steps where you remove parts are included because some of the parts attached in prior steps were just there for temporary structural support and/or to make building it easier?

[Rock]

The piles were probably trying to tell you to keep the parts sorted in their own piles, so later on they are easier to find

[woah]

With the typewriter they put them in piles because we don’t use them yet we use them later on. and they dont want use to mix them up

When Kai found Raycon earbuds I was so utterly confused until you said it was sponsered.

[crazybird]

1 is definitely the best campfire because it has brown in it. Brown in a campfire usually means wood, so it would burn the best. Besides, 4 is just pathetic.

[Gizmos_and_stuff]

Also the 2007 landing shuttle had a step where you remove pieces, my brother got and old used one and that step was weird, but the puces removed were added temporarily for stability’s
