ONE: A Space Odyssey

ONE: A Space Odyssey is a 2001 comedy parody brickfilm by Tony Mines and Tim Drage. It is one-minute humorous re-telling of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Plot
An ominous black monolith appears among a group of monkeys telling them to "hit things with sticks." A single monkey drums the first few notes from Strauss's "Also Sprach Zarathustra," with a pair of bones before accidentally knocking itself out.

Frank is repairing the Discovery's communication's dish when his EVA pod is possessed by HAL. The EVA pod taps Frank on the shoulder, and then punches him in the face.

Dave attempts to get HAL to open the pod bay doors, to which HAL responds: "I think you know the problem as well as I do Dave. I've gone nuts."

Dave makes increasingly bizarre faces as he is pulled through a portal of brightly-colored LEGO bricks.

Dave finally meets his older self in a white bedroom and they both insult each other. Dave is now a floating fetus, and asks "Who's that guy?", indicating the monolith. The camera pulls into the monolith, which now displays "The End."
