Steve and Dave series

The Steve and Dave series is a series of brickfilms created by and starring Nate Burr. The series follows Steve and Dave, two oddball characters who encounter even more oddball characters in their adventures.

The Clocktower Trilogy
The first three films to star Steve and Dave became viewed as their own sub-series for sharing similar themes and for their titles all beginning with the phrase Mystery of the. They became known as The Clocktower Trilogy for all taking place in front of a clock tower. The Clocktower Trilogy as a whole won the Audience Choice award at Brickfest 2002.

A man rushes in to break up the fight and explains the lessons of love taught by Star Wars, but his "holographic field generator" shuts down and he is shown to actually be an Ewok. The Ewok runs away, leaving Steve and Dave mystified over having seen a fictional character in real life.

As Steve and Dave argue over whether Batman or Spider-man would win in a fight, a man falls out of the sky onto them. He explains that he is a highly-evolved "reality-bender" from another dimension who has come to protect earth from a great evil and introduces himself as BoB, much to the amusement of Steve. BoB then shows off his talking head in a jar, but Steve goes to make a phone call and BoB is soon taken away by men in white coats.

MOT-FAD-WE-WAR (2002)

Dave attempts to argue that Star Trek's Captain Janeway could beat Captain Picard in a fight, but Steve is concerned that every time they argue, something strange soon happens. Dave attempts to continue the conversation regardless but a crocodile arrives and drops a book in front of them. Dave attempts to read from the book and BoB appears in an attempt to stop him. The spell Dave recites turns him into a robot monkey and BoB explains that the book grants wishes, so Steve uses it to turn BoB into a potato. He then turns himself into a large robot and fights with robo-Dave, after which they turn themselves into robot-Batman and Spiderman to see which would really win in a fight.

The Game
The Game is a film in two parts set in a games arcade. The first part primarily shows a game of Pong, but features Dave, BoB and Steve in the last scene. The second part follows immediately from the first and directly continues a conversation between Dave and BoB. The two parts could potentially run seamlessly together and were made within just one week of each other. In 2005, Burr was approached about the inclusion of The Game in the German PONG.mythos Art Exhibition. He agreed and the film was displayed in the exhibition in 2006.

The Game (2002)
In a games arcade, Dave and BoB compete in a game of Pong, which BoB wins by a large margin. Dave accuses him of cheating, but BoB insists that you cannot cheat at Pong. The game screen then reads, "ALL YOUR PONG ARE BELONG TO BOB!". In the background, Steve plays a different arcade machine while Ned Kelly waits for a turn.

The Game part 2: The Doggie (2002)
After beating Dave at Pong, BoB asks for his head in a jar back as per a previous agreement. Dave tells BoB that the head in a jar ran away and asks Steve if he knows where it is. Their friend Peter arrives with a huge purple animal, telling them it is his new dog, Snoop. A concerned BoB reckons that it is some sort of demon hamster, and Steve warns that the Gods will strike Peter down for naming his dog "Snoop". Snoop eats Peter alive, which does not surprise Steve who tried to warn him.

The Freak Trilogy
The Freak Trilogy is a series of three films about abnormal LEGO figures or knock-off brand figures. The first film in the series only features Steve and Dave for a single-line cameo at the end, but can be viewed as a Steve and Dave film due to its inclusion in a montage of their previous adventures in Christmas With Bluntmation. The next two films feature Steve in a central role, though Dave does not appear in either of them. Each film in the trilogy was produced within one day and the second film, UBER-FREAK, was produced in just 10 minutes. The Freak films were the basis of the film Evening Report by Nick Maniatis, which depicts a news report about the treatment of freaks and features a brief appearance from Steve.

Christmas with Bluntmation (2002)
Steve and Dave are locked out of their apartment and climb up a rope through the window. Steve is unimpressed by the Christmas films on the television and the Christmas music that Dave plays, so Dave suggests that they have a montage. He initiates a montage of all of their previous adventures, which does not impress Steve. Dave starts a second montage anyway which leads Steve to worry about their mental stability due to the amount of fictional characters they have met.
