Although not entirely original here are a few awesome Lego builds from Jung von Matt. You might be surprised how many of these references to TV shows, movies, bands and other pop-culture touchstones you’ll be able to identify given only minimalist clues.

Apparently the cartoon characters represented as colored barcodes are so iconic, or should I say archaic, that our brain has no problem to identify ‘barcodes’ correctly. Pretty much as our brain uses barcoded identification on human faces. I think that’s both funny and fascinating.
