An AI-generated LEGO movie out of Iran depicting Trump as a war hungry pedophile has gone viral online. The video is the work of Iran-based propagandists called the “Explosive News Team” and is just the latest in a long line of AI-generated LEGO videos aimed at mocking Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu. LEGO-themed propaganda isn’t new and the Iranian video plays on familiar wartime propaganda themes. What’s different in 2026 is speed and scale.
It’s almost poetic that the country that has financed and created the AI slop problem to where it is now gets burned by it to this degree.
“But if it doesn’t come from hollywood, it must be inferior”
“Noo that’s just an exception, it must always be bad, my cult leaders said so”
The means of video production is in the hands of the people now. And the people can make way better videos than “bootlick the yank troops every screen minute or you won’t get paid” hollywood.
This is such a bizarre time to be alive
beats bein’ dead
Please share reasons. Would be nice sanity boost.
It’s pretty amazing that a bunch of monkeys on a ball hurtling through space were able to take rocks and pass lightning through them in such a complicated way that the rocks can produce images that support violence against different colored monkeys.
Some would make better fertilizer than humans
Outgunned and outmemed by Iran
why is it have to look like a Lego guy? there’s no Legos in this at all. it’s not a Lego thing
Reappropriation?
i dont understand AI or NI or ASL
With Trump leading the enemy, the propaganda writes itself.
Slop, propaganda, or not it’s telling the truth that we already know to our face.
We just choose to do nothing about a convicted criminal pedo being president, starting a senseless war that spiraled out of control into a global supply crisis + a corrupt ass government (all branches) sucking his teat and bending over all in the name of Pissrael

Slopaganda
Right?! It was right there
If Lego propaganda is winning, I think people have forgotten what winning is.
I love Lego too much to use it for propaganda. I don’t mind seeing Mango Mussolini called a loser, though.
Lego is safe, they obviously used Maga Blocks
This is Charlie Sheen’s idea of ‘winning’.
ughhhh
I feel like you really don’t need Lego to depict Trumpnas a war-hungry pedophile.
That’s what the news and objective reality are for.
They’ve made many other good points that are less obvious, but calling trump a pedophile tends to get more views, so we get an article about that.
Well, it’s in the news, but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything.
Trump is the symptom, not the disease. The reason it’s in the news and not doing anything is because we have been successfully normalized to the conditions that have inevitably led to this situation.
They’ve made several of these, but my fave is the CGTN video with Bald Eagles versus Persian Cats.
Source please
Is this AI? This seems like it could just as easily be done with regular animation.
It’d be time consuming and expensive to turn this round with regular animation. Ironic that AI is being used by the Iran’s supporters in this way.
Nobody here is allowed to like this. Stick to your “slop” and copyright comments.
This “Lemmy” guy I keep chatting with needs to stop being such a hypocrite.
Please keep Legos out of this nonsense 🤦♂️
I thought the Iranians specifically chose Legos because the US bombed a girl’s primary school. Seemed like a fitting way to fight back.
I think they picked it because it’s popular with recruitment-age men who grew up on the Lego movies/games and Roblox. I think the point is primarily to target the source of US personnel, to discourage enlistment and reduce moral.
