Sometimes the internet just needs a good laugh, and this time, it came from a pair of LEGO pots with unexpected personality.
A few days ago, Matticus Bricks, a well-known LEGO Fan Media creator, posted a modified version of the LEGO Happy Plants (10349) that had everyone cracking up. His build added a cheeky twist to the already adorable set, literally. By giving the plants a pair of brick-built “butt cheeks,” he turned a wholesome display into one of the funniest LEGO moments of the year.
What started as a lighthearted mod quickly went viral, spreading across TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, and AFOL communities that couldn’t stop laughing at how perfectly shaped those bricks were. It’s silly, clever, and proof that even the most peaceful LEGO sets can have a mischievous side.
Let’s meet the builder behind the “butt cheeks” that broke the internet.

About the Original LEGO Happy Plants Set
Before the butt jokes started flying, LEGO Happy Plants (10349) was already one of the most charming sets in the LEGO Botanical Collection. Released as a whimsical take on houseplants, the set includes two smiling pots, one bright light yellow and one bright light blue, each with expressive faces that make them feel alive.
With 217 pieces, the build offers a relaxing, colorful experience that’s perfect for both new and experienced builders. The plants are designed to look adorable from every angle, well, almost every angle.
Fans loved how approachable the set was, especially compared to more complex builds like Tiny Plants (10329) or Orchid (10311). It’s affordable, display-ready, and filled with personality.
But the real appeal? Mod potential. The design is modular and easy to tweak, making it perfect for builders who like to customize their displays or add humor, which is exactly what Matticus did.
How the Viral “Butt Cheeks” Mod Was Built
LEGO builder Matticus Bricks gave the Happy Plants (10349) set a hilarious twist using just a few clever part swaps. The change is simple enough for anyone to recreate, which might explain why the internet couldn’t stop sharing it.
In the bright light yellow Dracaena, he replaced one Tile 2×4 with Groove (87079) with four Modified 1×2 with 1 Stud and Bottom Stud Holder (15573) and added two Tile Round 2×2 with Bottom Stud Holder pieces in bright light yellow.
In the bright light blue Pilea, he swapped one Tile 2×6 (69729) for two Tile 2×2 (3068) and two Plate 1×2 (3023) pieces. You can also use one Plate 2×2 (3022) if you prefer a simpler layout. Two Tile Round 2×2 with Bottom Stud Holder pieces in bright light blue complete the look.
If you want to recreate the viral look, here’s exactly what you’ll need.
