| “ | Who wants a taco?! | ” |

Taco Tuesday was an event in The LEGO Movie that nearly spelled doom for the entire LEGO world.

| “ | On Taco Tuesday, I'm going to Kragleize the entire universe... ...so that everyone will stop messing with my stuff! | ” |
–Lord Business | ||
It was masterminded by Lord Business, who attempted to use "the Kragle" to glue everything together, so that people would stop messing with his "stuff".
Events[]
Eight and a half years before the movie, Lord Business assaulted a stronghold that Vitruvius was guarding to seize the Kragle. Although he was successful, the wizard prophesied of a "Special one with a face of yellow" who would "thwart the Kragle and save the realm". Lord Business disregarded this and left the wizard for dead by kicking him off of a cliff.
When Emmet Brickowski touches the Piece of Resistance, it gets permanently stuck (glued) to his back, and Lord Business' enforcer, Bad Cop, questions him endlessly about it. Failing to get a satisfying answer, the cop tells robots to take him to the melting chamber. "I can't break him. Take him to the melting chamber."-Bad Cop
Later on after Emmet escapes with the help of Lucy, She figured out the true meaning of Taco Tuesday (the end of the world) and had to talk to Vitruvius immediately.
Lord Business was going to test the Kragle on Bad Cop's parents and fired a bit of it onto their legs. But Good Cop refused to carry out the order to completely freeze them, so Lord Business used the fleece-crested Scepter of Q-teep (a Q-Tip) and the Pol-ish Remover of Na-il (nail polish remover) to erase the Good Cop side of him, and with it, any sprinkle of humanity left in him, as his face later turned and he completely froze his parents.
Then Vitruvius and Emmet gave a speech to all the Master Builders in Cloud Cuckoo Land that Lord Business was going to use the Kragle on Taco Tuesday to end the world. However, in the middle of the meeting, everyone was caught by Bad Cop and captured in the "Think Tank (where they would be electrocuted after witnessing Taco Tuesday)" but Emmet, Lucy, Batman, Unikitty, Vitruvius, and MetalBeard (later seen in the middle of the ocean) escaped. However, Cloud Cuckoo Land was in ruins, and the sub they built to escape breached, so they hid in the double-decker couch to be floated to the top and ready for rescuing.
They made a plan to stop Taco Tuesday but it was unsuccessful, resulting in Lord Business' punishment towards Emmet being his hometown of Bricksburg to be Kragled first. Saddened by the screen, he knew what he had to do, save everyone from electrocution. So he jumped out of the tower, disabling the terminator right on time saving everyone.
Meanwhile Lucy had an idea. Even though Emmet was gone, they could still stop this by creating and building new things to distract the Micro Managers. Emmet then thinks he's in another dimension when he lands onto a hardwood floor. Finn says hi to Emmet. But his dad (the Man Upstairs) is extremely upset when he thinks his son ruined where everything belonged. He even said Emmet was not a hero. But the Piece of Resistance was found by both Finn and Emmet. He put him back, while Emmet was talking to Lord Business about how great it was that everyone was inspired by his work and making something new out of it, and the Man Upstairs started letting him play again.
With the Kragle destroyed, everything was peaceful until Duplo aliens threated to destroy them (because the Man Upstairs let his sister play too now.)
