Background
Emmet Joseph Brickowski has been working most of his life on the construction site in the city of Bricksburg. He longs to be popular, but his co-workers hardly notice he is there. He lives life by the book--literally--and builds things only from the instructions and because of this, however, he is mostly boring and uncreative, except for at some moment of inspiration, like his inventing the "double decker couch". He isn't a fan of adventure or danger either (similar to Bilbo Baggins), both of which gives him reasons for "freaking out".
One day, however, he stumbles upon the Piece of Resistance while going after Wyldstyle, which makes the Master Builders mistake him as being "The Special", which means he must stop Lord Business from gluing the world together with the Kragle and From that point on, he is caught in a desperate struggle between the powers of order and imagination by Lord Business and the Master Builders, respectively--as well as his self-acceptance in being special in his own ways.
In the final battle, Emmet convinces Lord Business that creativity isn't messy or weird, and that it is okay for the people to build brand-new ideas from all the things Business himself had made, which makes him special, too, just like everyone is special. Moved by Emmet's speech and touched by being considered special, Business applies the Piece of Resistance on the Kragle, which soon causes the Kragle to explode, deactivating all of his robot minions and unfreezing his victims (though the real "victims" were saved when the Man Upstairs cleaned the glue off them). He then became Wyldstyle's boyfriend and was seen sitting down along with the Master Builders and Lord Business at his double-decker couch.

Prologue
He was in Cloud Cuckoo Land for a break dancing competition with Wyldstyle, Unikitty, and MetalBeard. After Wyldstyle was declared the winner and Unikitty complaining aside, they witnessed MetalBeard being sucked into the vortex with his treasure chest, and saw Gandalf and Batman falling on top of LEGO Movie Batman, as well as the slap fight between the two Batmen then he and Unikitty actually agreed to join the trio to find their missing friends, but before they can join up, the vortex sucked the three main heroes up.

Trivia
- In The LEGO Movie, he was voiced by Chris Pratt who also played Owen Grady in Jurassic World. Pratt reprises both Emmet and Owen in the game.
- However, in The LEGO Movie Videogame, he is voiced by Keith Ferguson.
- His and Unikitty's quotes towards Owen is a reference to the fact that both Owen and Emmet are voiced by the same actor.
- Even though that he has the Fix-It Ability, his blue wrench wasn't included in his Fun Pack, most likely because his Jackhammer is already included.
- His jackhammer in The LEGO Movie Videogame is blue; in LEGO Dimensions, it is grey.
- If you look closely at his character animation when he looks around, his body slightly twists.
- His quote when entering and riding the Batmobile is a reference from The LEGO Movie to when Wyldstyle tells Emmet how the LEGO Movie Batman is so "Dark and brooding", especially his music.
- Emmet actually hates the Batman of his own world, since he was very rude and mean to him in The LEGO Movie, which explains why Emmet seems to enjoy seeing him whenever he is hurt.
- Emmet is afraid of pigs, as seen in The LEGO Movie, most likely because he grew up in a city, and he doesn't know how pigs would react to him.
- Emmet's toy tag resembles the colour of his outfit and includes his construction ID card.
- He is one of two characters who use older style LEGO eyes without irises, the other is Benny.
- For unknown reasons, switching to Emmet displays “Emmet (Master Builder)” by his portait despite there being no other characters named Emmet or no other costumes for this Emmet in the game.
