Main article: 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)

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 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.
