History Series / LegoMasters

* TheRunnerUpTakesItAll: Boone from Season 1 revealed during the ''Holiday Bricktacular'' that although he finished second place in his season, he won the "aftermath", becoming a designer at LEGO.

** In Season 3 had Emily & Liam. One of the major issues that they ran into during each of their builds was time management. While their builds were impressive, they took a long time to build. They would typically start building last and finish just as within the final seconds. [[spoiler: During the Dog Show, they were unable to finish building the legs of the dog and would have been eliminated if not for using the golden brick. The second time they weren't so lucky and were unable to finish their Ms. Marvel build. They were eliminated.]]

* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Ethan & Dom]] in Season 3, Episode 7 won the challenge and chose one of two boxes (one had 90000 Lego bricks, the other had the Golden Brick) while also choosing a team to get the other box. [[spoiler:They choose Brendan & Greg since they were the most likely to go home that episode, which could have removed the Golden Brick from play if they got it. Everything played out as Ethan & Dom anticipated, with Brendan & Greg getting the Golden Brick and then going to the bottom two... only for Will to reveal that no one was going home that week, meaning the Golden Brick was still in play as Brendan & Greg didn't go home. Their mistake comes back to haunt Ethan & Dom in the next episode, where they end up in the bottom and are swiftly eliminated.]]

The first season aired February 5, 2020 on Creator/{{Fox}} after ''Series/TheMaskedSinger'', and the second season premiered on June 1, 2021. The series is also available for streaming on Hulu. A third season has been announced and was initially set to premiere May 31, 2022 before being delayed to September of that year.

** During the first season's Super-Bridges episode, Tyler and Amy say that they had never built a bridge before and didn't even know the physics involved in building one, so they decide to focus on making the bridge look pretty and hopefully getting 2nd to last place.[[spoiler: Their bridge is one of two that hit the ''one thousand pounds'' mark, putting them in 2nd place. Even they're surprised by how well they do when they outperform Aaron & Christian, as Aaron is an engineer who's built bridges with Lego before.]]
** In Season 2's Demolition Derby, the teams are tasked with building a car from memory in order to win an advantage in the main challenge. Caleb & Jacob had no clue about building a car or any of the features, so they decided to build what they thought would look best to the Judges. [[spoiler: Their car was the closest to being correct, as they got a few minor details correct that no one else picked up on, allowing them to win the advantage.]]

** The third season includes UsefulNotes/{{NASA}} astronauts Jessica Meir (in person) and Dr. Thomas Marshburn (via video call) for a spaceship build, and Creator/ChrisPratt and Blue the raptor to cross-promote ''Film/JurassicWorldDominion''.

The first episode awards the team with the best design judged by the experts with the Golden Brick, which they can use on any other challenge, after the build period but before the judging, to automatically advance to the next challenge if they do not feel confident about their work. Once the team turns in the Golden Brick for immunity, it is then made available as the reward for a future challenge. Some winning teams will also get small prizes, like a trip to Lego Land. The season ends with a finale, which the top teams compete for $100,000, a Lego Masters trophy, and the title of Lego Master.

** The second season treat the majority of guest stars as part of introduction skit using video conferencing due to the ongoing UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic, due to this the number of guests are drastically reduced. A crossover happens where Will dials ''Series/NineOneOne'' (the series, not the actual emergency number) and talks with Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt, who is playing her character Maddie Kendall during the episode. Another episode has Creator/KenJeong in a conference call while Will is talking with his boss[[note]]A PaperThinDisguise of Will, recorded earlier, wearing only a fake mustache[[/note]], not knowing why he is in the call. For episode 8, [[Creator/MuppetPerformers Steve Whitmire]] performed Willy, a puppet version of Will out to steal his job.

* SelfDeprecation: Will frequently engages with this. For instance, in the first episode, he declares himself an expert on [=LEGOs=] before "being told" that the plural is actually "LEGO". Or later on, when he pretends to call his agent and acts like he has to remind the agent who he is. He also has gotten to be jealous of a puppet version of himself, in which the puppet is much more successful.

* TookALevelInBadass: Sam and Jessica started off as one of the weaker teams, coming in at the bottom two in the first two episodes of Season One. After the second episode, they refocused their efforts and came in second place in the "Cut in Half" build. After that, they have become one of the toughest teams to beat, typically either coming in second or winning builds, [[spoiler:and eventually being one of the teams in the finale. The judges confirmed that they would have been in the top two if the ''Star Wars'' episode had eliminated a team, and in the finale proper, they were in Third Place overall. Sam and Jessica commented how much the two of them grew from those first two episodes.]]

* ExplosiveResults:

* UpToEleven: The third episode of season two had an earthquake machine that actually went up to Eleven, which they would only use if anyone passed ten. [[spoiler:Three builds did just that. Even after the three builds fell at 11, they still had problems falling apart, with the judges noting how amazed they were at how well the structures were made.]]

* HandPuppet: In Season 2, a puppet of Will is introduced during Episode 8 where the teams make their own puppets. He is aware he is only a puppet and plays with it. It is also implied that he is much more successful than human Will. Also, the majority of the puppets the team make in this episode with [=LEGOs=] are hand puppets (a few were more marionette puppets)

* LiteralCliffhanger: Episode 11 of Season 2 was not only a cliffhanger to the final episode but also had to build a castle on the side of a cliff made out of [=LEGOs=].

** This trope was brought up about Zack & Wayne builds by the other teams in Season 2. The builds that Zack and Wayne make are technically impressive but lack personality. This has also shown with voting, with the exception of the first episode, they have yet to win any builds but do come in second place.

* AllForNothing: Mark & Steven decided to use the Golden Brick because they did not think their build was the best in the second season, episode 10. [[spoiler: Not only did they win first place, but found out nobody was going home that week. So them using the Golden Brick did not change the outcome. While they did not address it directly, they appeared to be pretty upset that they wasted the Golden Brick.]]
* AlwaysSecondBest: Zack and Wayne in Season 2, with the exception of the first episode, were almost always placed in 2nd place. [[spoiler: This also carried over to the finale, they were again in second place.]]

* ArtShift: In some episodes (such s the first episode of season 2), the show animates the builds with moving and talking LEGO figures as produced by Creator/StoopidBuddyStudios.

[[Creator/MuppetPerformers Steve Whitmire]] preformed Willy, a puppet version of Will.

** Happened again during the second season's second episode. This time the builds would have a controlled explosive to tell a story for what happened, which could be water, colored powder, slime and glitter.
* FashionShow: Done in Season 2, Episode 4. The teams had to build a hat out of LEGO based on the color clothing they got, then one member from each team had to walk out on a runway wearing their build and clothing, and when they got to the end of the runway they had to have the build balance on their head for 5 seconds. [[spoiler:Zack & Wayne were the only group to walk out to the runway without using their hands, something the Judges pointed out when they got 2nd Place.]] The trope is also played up in the beginning of the episode, as Will is shown doing a fashion shoot and the Judges are in full fashion make-up and outfits.

* HandPuppet: In Season 2, a puppet of Will is introduced during the Episode 8 where the teams make their own puppets. He is aware he is only a puppet and plays with it. It is also implied that he is much more successful than human Will. Also the majority of the puppets the team make in this episode with [=LEGOs=] are hand puppets (a few were more marionette puppets)

* LetsSplitUpGang: Episode 9 of Season 2 has the teams all split up with their partner to work alone for the first half, where one member builds a land animal and one builds a sea animal. The catch is that they can not communicate or see what their team mate is building. The second half is the team having to create a new animal with the two animals.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Episode 9 of Season 2 had the groups split up and create an animal (one team member had land while the other had sea) with no help from their team mates. At the half way point, they had to create a new creator that incorporated the two animals.

* PuppetShows: Season 2, Episode 8 had the teams build puppets to be stars in a puppet show.

* SelfDeprecation: Will frequently engages with this. For instance, in the first episode, he declares himself an expert on [=LEGOs=] before "being told" that the plural is actually "LEGO". Or later on, when he pretends to call his agent and acts like he has to remind the agent who he is. He also has gotten to be jealous with a puppet version of himself, in which the puppet is much more successful.

The judges confirmed that they would have been in the top two if the ''Star Wars'' episode had eliminated a team, and in the finale proper, they were in Third Place overall. Sam and Jessica commented how much the two of them grew from those first two episodes.]]

* UnflinchingWalk: The second episode of season two was all about making LEGO bricks explode with a LEGO minifigure made to look as if they were walking away from the explosion. This was also parodied by Will where he starts the episode walking away from an exploding trailer.
* UpToEleven: The third episode of season two had an earthquake machine that actually went up to Eleven, which they would only use if anyone passed ten. [[spoiler:Three builds did just that. Even after the three build fell at 11, they still had problems falling apart, with the judges noting how amazed they were at how well the structures were made.]]

* AlwaysSecondBest: Zack and Wayne in Season 2, with the exception of the first episode, was always placed in 2nd place. [[spoiler: This also carried over to the finale, they were again in second place.]]

So far a crossover happens where Will dials ''Series/NineOneOne'' (the series, not the actual emergency number) and talks with Creator/JenniferLoveHewitt, who is playing her character Maddie Kendall during the episode.

* BackForTheFinale: The final episode of the first season has all of the teams back that were eliminated to cheer on the last teams.

* AchillesHeel: During Season 2's Demolition Derby, Zack & Wayne built a purple car called "Purple Punisher". The car's design was modeled after a tank, with the build being low to the ground and the wheels being covered by the build (causing it to resemble a moving brick). The Judges noted that, while their build was almost certainly the ''strongest'' of the teams', their covered wheels could be a huge flaw, as something could get caught in them and cause the car to get stuck. [[spoiler: This proved to be correct in the end: while they were able to get into 2nd place in the demolition derby itself, since their build was strong enough to withstand blows, their car got stuck when they moved over a small brick. Without any way to dislodge the brick, Dave & Richard were able to snag an easy victory.]]

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: At first Will tries to portray himself as the {{Jerkass}} character type that he's played before. Then he breaks character to give the competitors a pep talk. One episode in the first season even had him helping Jessie and Kara move their build.

* EvilCounterpart: Parodied with Evil Will, which is just Will but Evil.
