is a Finnish LEGO stop-motion animator, something he says is a hobby (or as a job). He joined YouTube on March 15th, 2011, and is well known for his various videos that focus on a specific disaster or tragedy, while using LEGO structures and Minifigures to tell the story.
As of February 2024, the channel has 162K subscribers.
His videos provide the examples of:
- After the End: Nuclear Disaster begins with the city already abandoned. At the end, it is revealed that the city will remain uninhabitable for 100 years.
- Anyone Can Die: Anyone can be caught in the cross-hairs.
- Cranked up to eleven with any episode featuring Raimo. It's certain that anyone who is associated with him are certain to get involved in a tragedy. Surprisingly subverted with The Disastrous Journey of Raimo. Aside from 4 crew members dying from pirates, everyone survives.
- Apocalypse Wow: Not global apocalyptic levels, but all the disasters shown in his videos are shown in spectacular detail.
- Bilingual Bonus: There are a couple of lines of untranslated Finnish in the videos, such as hän meni ikkunasta ("s/he went through the window") at roughly 2:33 in Lego Oil Rig Disaster.
- Built with LEGO: Duh. Although plasticine, play-doh and other special effects are used as well.
- Chekhov's Volcano: In Volcano Eruption.
- Dirty Coward: Raimo does not participate in the fight against the pirates in The Disastrous Journey of Raimo, but one of his crew members dies in the fight. This prompts a mutiny against him.
- Flipping the Bird: Implied in Flight Disaster (the 2019 version), where his avatar’s left hand is blurred for a second after his drink is confiscated by airport security.
- Foregone Conclusion: With titles like Disaster, Catastrophe, and Accident in his videos, it is certain that nothing will avert the tragedies to come.
- From Bad to Worse: Expect this a lot with his videos regarding what disasters are occurring.
- Giant Wall of Watery Doom: In Tsunami, a massive wave decimates everything in its path: a lighthouse, a cruise ship, and the coastline.
- Going Critical: The main conflict in Nuclear Disaster, where a nuclear meltdown forces the entire city to evacuate.
- How We Got Here: Nuclear Disaster begins After the End, before flashing back to the day of the accident.
- Lifesaving Misfortune: In Cruise Ship Disaster 2, a passenger arrives at the cruise ship terminal late for the cruise and tries to get on the ship as it leaves only to fall into the sea. Assuming he had been plucked from the water alive, this means he avoided becoming a victim of the ship’s sinking.
- No OSHA Compliance: Just about everything at the Brickman's Fine Chemicals plant in Lego Factory Accident is horribly dysfunctional, from machinery to training. The results are catastrophic.
- Nuke 'em: In Nuclear Bomb Devastation an unknown party launches a nuke at the city, resulting in mass casualties and destruction.
- Ruthless Modern Pirates: A group of pirates attack the cargo ship Steelberg in The Disastrous Journey of Raimo, but are defeated by Raimo's crew.
- Sinking Ship Scenario: A frequent topic in his older videos.
- Sole Survivor: Raimo has survived an erupting volcano, an exploding oil rig, a sinking ship, a massive crash on a highway, and so on.
- Trash Landing: In Zombies - The Chaos, a survivor escapes from his infested office building by jumping down the garbage chute. It lands him in a skipful of trash.
- X Days Since: The Brickman Fine Chemicals plant in Lego Factory Accident has a sign stating that the employees have worked for 165 days without an accident. When asked about this, Raimo says that the accident the sign is referring to was a man slipping on a banana peel – except he also got his head crushed by a passing forklift.
- Zombie Apocalypse: His Zombies series. There are three episodes as of typing this.
