Emmet is depicted as an ordinary guy, kind, humorous, and very light-hearted (up-beat). To him, everything in the world, even the negative things, are “awesome”, which is the purpose of the song “Everything Is Awesome!!!”, which is his favorite song. He lives in an apartment with no one to hang around with except for “Planty”, a potted green plant that Emmet claims as a pet, along with other junk objects. Nevertheless, Emmet still has some nice friends; his neighbors and co-workers in his job of construction, though he is mostly unrecognized and ignored. To satisfy himself, he follows what appears to be a very long, almost endless, list of instructions that show him how to fit in with everyone in the world and always be happy.
