It’s been two months since we boldly named the 20 Funniest Super Mario Bros. Videos on the internets, and in those ensuing 60 days, our inbox got an earful about the videos we seemed to have missed.
Forgive us, fellow nerds – the web is a big place. In fact, rumor has it that’s it’s world wide. So now, without further ado, here they are: The 20 Funniest Super Mario Vidoes We Missed The First Time!
20. Dateline: Mario
OK, so NBC pussed out and stopped letting Chris Hanson do his incredibly entertaining yet somewhat unscrupulous To Catch A Predator series. But at least we’ve still got this version that may as well be called “To Catch a Mario.”
19. Super Mario Mishaps
We wish we could make all the things that happen in these videos happen in the game itself. In fact, now that we’ve seen all the funny things Mario could have done, we’ve lost all interest in Super Mario Bros., because all we can make Mario do is save some stupid princess.
18. Mario Fruit Snacks Rap at the 1990 Nintendo PowerFest (more here)
Don’t even try to deny it: the kid’s got moves.
17. Weirdest Things Done to the Super Mario Bros.
Oh come on, let’s be honest – we’ve done far weirder things.
16. The People’s Mario
Yes, Mario does belong to the people. And the people will get what they deserve.
15. Super Mario Bros. Protest
Once you get past the inexplicable appearance of Obama Girl, this video about violent protests in Super Mario World is a powerful testament to the eternal conflict between Italians and simians.
14. Son of a Peach
Looks like all that effort was worth it in the end.
13. Super Mario Villain Auditions
Luckily, they cut out the hardcore casting couch scenes. Trust us, you don’t want to see a Koopa naked.
12. Chocolate Rain – Mario Bros. 8-bit Remix
We don’t know if the guy playing Luigi knows he’s hilarious for the reasons we think he’s hilarious, but we know we love him either way.
11. Super Mario Video Rap
We’re not certain, but we’re pretty sure this was released under a fake name after it was recorded in secret by a young Eminem.
10. Mario World Halo
For people who thought there wasn’t enough brutal killing in Mario World, and those who felt that Halo was running short on whimsy.
9. A Day in the Life
Just a day, but boy, what a life.
8. Pixels and Bricks
Mario returns to his Donkey Kong-baiting roots in this Post-It Note-animated gem.
7. Mad Mad Mario
Sure, Mario‘s got a short fuse – but after a long day of plumbing and princess-pursuing, wouldn’t your patience by tried too?
6. Super Manrio Kart
College was fun.
5. Louis Armonstrong’s “Super Mario World”
A touching, tender tribute in the style of one of jazz’s greats – only this time, instead of the beauty of the real world, Louis Armstrong is singing the praises of the electronic wonderland where mushrooms move and plumbers jump onto clouds.
4. Video Games (a.k.a., Mario Humps Lara Croft’s Leg)
Don’t ask us what this one’s about. Just sit back and accept its raw justice.
3. Super Hornio Bros.
Already having entered the Video Game Comedy Hall of Fame, this penetrating Ron Jeremy-vehicle re-imagines the story of Mario and Luigi as its creators must have originally intended, if only they weren’t held back by Japan’s moralistic society. In other words, it’s Mario Porn.
2. My Roommate Mario
We firmly believe that all TV sitcoms should co-star Mario. Or at least someone with a mustache.
1. Luigi Finally Snaps
Mario gets his as the “forgotten” Mario Brother emerges from the shadows. The world may forgotten Luigi, but we never will, especially after this epic rant.
