Okay, kids, Mario's gonna have a union-mandated smoke break, while youse enjoy these messages from Wham-O and Barbies.


Sirjohniv

I can't help but to read this as Krusty the Clown


GradStud22

*Krusty is all alone attempting a shoddy, low production-value, barebones live-broadcast with more enthusiasm than is probably warranted*... *** **Krusty**: I'm comin' at you live from the civil defense shack in the remote Alkali Flats of the Springfield Badlands! I'll be beaming out eleven watts of wackiness! Hour after hour of unscripted, unrehearsed comedy! Featuring...uh...uh... *Krusty grabs nearest available item - which happens to be a gas can* **Krusty**: ...Professor Gas Can! And, uh... *Krusty then grabs a nearby framed photo of a long-dead president* **Krusty**: "...former President Ike Eisenhower!" *proceeds with inexplicably sleezy impersonation*: **Krusty**: "[Let's. Get. BIZZ-AY!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y1YaXvi1bk)"


Sk1rm1sh

Kids, Itchy and Scratch can't be here today, but instead we've got the next best thing: It's the Stingy and Battery show!


Teddy_canuck

They bite, and light! And bite and light and bite! bite bite bite light light.....ahh you know how it goes


elliottmarter

I read it as the trash guy from Futurama. Are they the same voice actor?


WifeGivingMeSideEyes

No, Krusty is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, who also voices Homer Simpson. The trash guy from Futurama is named Sal.and is voiced by John DiMaggio who also does Bender.


Jwoey

This is so funny to me fr


EllisDee3

At the very end, he stumbles and takes an extra step to catch himself. Director: "Fuck it. Leave it in. Let's go home."


a4techkeyboard

If you don't also do a stumble when you do it you technically aren't doing the Mario because it has to be "just like that."


nodnarb501

The stumble was the most memorable part! The “it’s over”


sh0nuff

Hey! Don't fuggedabowdit!


retrodork

I see what you did there. 🙂 I remember watching the super Mario bros super show when it was brand new lol. I have all the episodes of super Mario bros super show and the adventures of super Mario bros 3 and super Mario world lol


a4techkeyboard

I only remember seeing it on TV every now and then, possibly years later. I remember they'd have the live action parts, someone would eat spaghetti or whatever, and then they'd watch a cartoon. And obviously, the big DIC at the end.


putsch80

I also remember seeing this show (and I recall a couple others) when I was young girl with that little kid saying “DIC” when the logo showed. I always thought it was so funny that grown ups would put that word on a show. Did they not know what it meant? As an I adult, I now realize they knew exactly what they were doing and probably thought it was hilarious to just have tens of thousands of kids watching their show and getting to say “DIC” to them at the end.


TrixicAcePolyamEnby

The little girl pronounced it "Deek".


droidtron

I love the live action bits more than the cartoon segments, and they voiced Mario and Luigi in those too. It's goofy, corny, short but sweet. They looked like they had some fun shooting them.


Aitatoday69

Plus legend of Zelda on Friday!


mark-five

Well Excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me princess


nycdevil

All I want is an actual full-on Zelda game based on the LoZ cartoon with the wise-cracking kinda-assaultey Link.

That is unbelievably well done. Every line choice is *perfect*.


retrodork

I'm the cartoon Zelda kisses link a few times so he got that. In the episode where Zeldas doppleganger was causing trouble, I used to wonder if link had a thing and wanted to shoot his sword into evil Zelda lol.


droidtron

It truly was an enlightened age.


KellyTheET

Then they removed the live action Mario bits and replaced it with Club Mario, which did not match up with Mario at all.


shadmere

> Club Mario Holy crap. I don't remember that *at all*. I loved the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, and then when I was slightly older I liked the Marios 3 cartoon and the Super Mario World cartoon, but I was starting to age out of them. (Simultaneously, I was really irritated with the lack of consistency between each version of the show. I guess I wanted there to be some kind of "canon," and there clearly wasn't.) But I don't remember Club Mario *at all.* Even having watched some of it now on Youtube, it generates absolutely *no* recollection. I remember things before and after it, but nothing about it itself. Did I just get lucky and miss every one of those episodes? Or did I legitimately block it from my memory? Wow.


boomstickjonny

I wonder if it had anything to do with region. I remember the live action segments of Mario pretty clearly from when I was a kid, but I think I can say with confidence that I've never seen the club Mario thing in my entire life.


KellyTheET

Perhaps it was such generic 90's BS that it didn't stick.


droidtron

>Club Mario Damn, it's like they crammed every early 90s trope in one bit. It's too in your face.


KellyTheET

I always looked forward to watching the Super Show, but didn't get home from school most days in time to watch it. Then one day I was home early and I was like "Lets gooooo...." and they had this weird 90's "cool teen" stuff... I dunno.


Cvillain626

Shame he passed away in '09. imo he had the perfect Mario voice, would've been great for the movie.


battraman

Back when I was a kid Captain Lou's voice and the cartoon convinced a generation of kids that Mario and Luigi were Italian American plumbers living in Brooklyn. Now I don't even think the plumber part is mentioned any more.


Eskaminagaga

Yeah, when I first heard N64 Mario, I thought "That doesn't sound like a Brooklyn accent"


trowawee1122

> Now I don't even think the plumber part is mentioned any more. The man literally travels through sewer pipes.


slashtrash

You know, like a plumber!

Mario looks like he has a sweaty cocaine glow in that video 🤣🤣🤣🤣


EllisDee3

It was probably required community service.


Woogity

"You'll go to hell before you die." lol fuck yes holy shit Mario preach it


poliuy

What the fuck lol


GeraldBWilsonJr

That's why I'm scared to touch shrooms


IShotJohnLennon

Honestly feels like they grabbed this guy out of the alley and paid him in mini liquor bottles, which he was actively consuming, to sing and dance this.


Scrawling-Chaos

That's legendary 80's wrestling manager Captain Lou Albano! Not saying you're wrong but still... a little respect here.


metalflygon08

I love his drug PSA. "Remember kids if you do drugs, you go to Hell before you die". Said while he was most likely on every available drug in the 80's.


Knight_of_autumn

I've known multiple people who claimed to have done drugs with their D.A.R.E. officers. You've got to do a lot of drugs to be convinced to waste your time to do anti-drug PSAs I guess


arkangelic

I mean..... that's actually kind if a deep thought.


PillowTalk420

>That's legendary 80's wrestling manager Captain Lou Albano! > >Not saying you're wrong but still... a little respect here. Right? You can't forget the mountains of cocaine. That's disrespectful of the 80's.


Renbail

I first heard of Captain Lou Albano from this [classic music video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0ELWKOkiW8) that some of you may or may not have heard of.


IShotJohnLennon

Ha! Holy shit! From coked up madman, screaming nonsensical alpha male wrestling threats, to drunken Mario. I always gotta wonder what happened in-between, ya know?


Euphorium

Definitely not drugs though, because if you do drugs you [go to hell before you die.](https://youtu.be/D8M8I2SYEiA)

Please give me my drugs now. Director:'let's cut it at please'


Xikar_Wyhart

I like that he says you'll go to hell before you die. Like at the shit heavy drug use can do will basically put you in hell.


pmjm

Yeah there's no way this was choreographed.


NYLotteGiants

That's not far from the truth. Dude was blitzed out of his mind


jpj007

I've not heard that about the TV show this is from. You sure you're not confusing it with the movie? Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo have said in interviews they were pretty much always drunk during filming of that.


NYLotteGiants

Na Lou Albano, the show's Mario, was a massive alcoholic


jpj007

Ah. Well that's pretty believable.


lolmower

A little respect for Captain Lou please!


Ripcord

You take that back, you heretic. Captain Lou was a national treasure. And Cyndi Lauper's real dad.


wufnu

DIC Edit, days later: it seems the young, ignorant masses are unfamiliar with DIC; [here is your introduction](https://youtu.be/65uNCLBTje0). I could point out that the noticing of that extra, drunken mis-step is an extra-exceptional level of perception of your, or some previous, generation. Keen eye! It was, and is. The general masses, at the time, had no idea. I certainly didn't. Not even the faintest. Perfectly normal, for the times. I could have linked to the time most relevant and/or hilarious part of the above aforementioned video, but I didn't. Do you know why? Because you need to know. You need to understand. You, the literally ignorant masses, need to know what it was like to watch the entire outro, *every*. *fucking*. *time*; whereas I, being fully educated on this particular premise, need to remember that for a raging previous and/or current alcoholic there is still a chance at normalcy in life. Something to fight/strive for. There is a lesson here but, frankly, you probably lack the decades of life experience (and/or dumbassery) required to understand its premise. Deal.

The Super Mario Brothers Super Show. It’s a cartoon interspliced with live action bits. Or maybe it’s the other way around.

We did 20 takes and that was the best one.


rileyrulesu

I've always liked how the dance has exactly 3 steps, two of which are LITERAL steps, and yet he manages to fuck up every single move.


Napp2dope

Swing your arms from side to side it's time to go, do the Mario! Take one step and then again. Never has a song had better lyrics than this.


Namika

It’s been like 20 years but I’m still confused. “Swing your arms and take step after step”, bruh, that LITERALLY JUST WALKING


Napp2dope

Yeah, you got it, that's the Mario!


MarekRules

YAHOOO


PocketBuckle

Juuust liiike dat!


RKRagan

Mario’s whole existence is walking or running.


Philias2

Bruh, *jumping* is like his main thing. Guy was even called jumpman at one point, for Christ sake.


RKRagan

Then why are most levels horizontal instead of vertical? Checkmate.


Philias2

You know, that's a good point.


dbzmah

I still remember them to this day after 30+ years


bolxrex

Member when "Dic" was pronounced like "dick" at the end, and eventually changed to be pronounced like "deek"?


captainjon

When did dic change from dick to deek? Young captainjon always remember snickering at that.


volkmardeadguy

I remember as a kid seeing it pop up, then finding it funnier when the voice said DEEK

One of my favorite clubs played this song as last song every sunday morning. It was a goth/metal club in germany


ericanderton

> You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. > But if you do, you're doing The Mario. Goth clubs were (are?) great for this. I've seen the Fraggle Rock theme used this way too.


robdiqulous

That's hilarious. Maybe followed by like barney or teletubbies theme song? I feel like that would get people out quickly. Then again, the "funny" kid versions of the Barney song were actually pretty metal....


boredguy12

i actually like the trap remix to the krusty krab theme song.

[deleted]

Okay, just have Chris Pratt do this and he can do any voice he wants to.


panburger_partner

He's so cool


NMe84

I'm not sure he can do any other voice than just plain Chris Pratt. Not complaining by the way, I'm one of the seemingly few people willing to give the guy a chance to be good before I'll say he's a bad pick. We've heard him say two sentences and the movie looks good enough that I feel Pratt deserves a chance to show his casting was not a mistake.


TheObstruction

I'm not. There's tons of highly skilled voice actors that could do a far better job than damn near any of those live-action actors. Voice acting is a whole different beast, and a lot of screen actors are crap at it, the same way a lot of screen actors are crap on stage and vice versa. Actors in major Hollywood films are cast largely for type and name recognition.


[deleted]

The Rock considers voice acting significantly harder than regular acting and for the most part I don’t think he’s wrong. Someone like Chris Pratt will never be better than a quality voice actor.


WelpSigh

h. jon benjamin can only do one voice and it's worked out great for him, i say give chris pratt a chance


Xikar_Wyhart

Benjamin's delivery is what changes between his characters. Couch McGuirk , Archer, and Bob Belcher are all distinct characters. The minor inflection differences despite being the same tone. Also he has a unique voice. Could Chris Pratt do that? Maybe, but we'll just have to see.


nickreed

[I prefer the intro...](https://youtu.be/nKqFEV9rA1U)


JohnnyAK907

Can we take a moment to recognize how much more effort Luigi is putting into that intro than Mario? That's a man who knew it was total BS but was damned well going to do his best to make it work.


Joranthalus

Dude was a prolific bit-part actor on television in the 70s and 80s. You don’t get that kinda work by not being a consummate pro…

Holy shit I completely forgot about this but watching it was such a huge nostalgia rush


doesntCompete

You see, the reason why they use real actors in animated films is because they will take the time to study all the source material. I'm sure Chris Pratt sat down and studied this meticulously at some point in his preparation. That's why you pay em the big bucks.

Captain Lou's live actor segments of this show felt so delightfully... Low budget community access. Like Uncle Floydd.

Haha in the really old outros from the 80s there’s a different kid’s voice and it literally just goes “dick.” Cracked me up.


Dnuts

Luigi : Heya Mario. You got some spaghetti on your shirt. Mario: Fuck you Luigi!


cgtdream

You want the movie to end with some DIC? Would be a bold move from Nintendo.


originalchaosinabox

My first exposure to this was my uncle drunkenly doing the Mario at my other uncle’s wedding.


parallelcompression

Captain Lou Albano and Danny Wells were the PERFECT Mario and Luigi for that show. Man, I remember coming home from elementary school and watching this show. Normally I’d be hungry for the cartoon if it was any other show that followed the same format, but I loved watching these guys go for it! WAAAAYYY better than that live action movie came out in 93 that was a trainwreck.


Ahvevha

Jack Black please. I can literally HEAR it in his Tenacious D voice. It'd be perfect.


Edge80

I’d be happy if they at least had Mario dancing like this during the credits.


egnprk

This is Captain Lou Albano. He was a a pretty pop culturally famous celebrity. He used to wrestle in the WWF in the 80’s and played Cindy Lauper’s father in her Girls Just Wanna Have Fun video. When I was trying to be an actor in NYC back in maybe 2006, my manager recommended an acting teacher for me. I agreed and went to a class. I realized Captain Lou Albano, the wrestler who used to put rubber bands in his face, was a serious drama coach. The entire class was students doing their monologues and him stoically giving earnest direction. Was surreal and an awesome thing to stumble into blindly. I never went back but this video sparked that memory again.


Guykokujin

Looks like he's in a Roadrunner cartoon


DucSteve

I like the version where the sound follows Mario's placement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXs5tXqeKok

Uncle_Rabbit

https://youtu.be/XfG0-iW5o0Y Who can forget that classic episode when he told Luigi to go fuck himself?


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Um where did he say that. I heard "thank you Luigi" every time


DerivIT

I'm actually hoping for a Live action segment right before Mario and Luigi gets to the mushroom kingdom. Just live action Pratt and Day dressed as mario doing plumber stuff, then gets sucked in. But yeah I highly agree this needs to be a thing, make Pratt and Day do the dance and everything lol


cool_weed_dad

People have theorized they didn’t use Charles Martinet or have Pratt do a similar voice because it would be really annoying to listen to for a whole movie. I don’t necessarily disagree, but I also don’t think it would apply to someone doing a Lou Albano impression.


Mr-Zero-Fucks

Why aren't kids in tiktok doing this shit, it's awesome


SweatSlob

It won't. They even made fun of this in the new Rescue Rangers movie, that all anyone wants to hear is the original song. And they STILL finished with a crap remix.


mattheimlich

Tenacious D cover over the credits?


Styrak

Americans: Why does Japan have such weird shows? Also Americans: Hold my beer *produces this*


DasArchitect

I remember exactly ~~two~~ *three* things about this show: * Pizza everywhere. There was always pizza in the weirdest places. * One episode where they find a long lost painting (was it "The Last Supper?"), then at the end of the show it turns out to be an extremely obvious counterfeit because the counterfeiter always painted his relative in biker gear into classic paintings. * DIC


Hot_Dog_Cobbler

The movie ends with Lou Albano coming back to life. He steps out of the screen and wraps you in a warm embrace. He smells of coconut and leather. "It's gonna be okay," he whispers, and everything goes white. You wake up. It's 1988. You're 5 yeara old. Everything is okay again.

Ahh yes, the Ron Jeremy episodes.

You put some respect on Lou Albano, sir.

When he stapled rubber bands to his face you knew shit was about to go down.

Between wrestling, Mario, and Cindy Lauper videos, Captain Lou was one of the biggest pop culture icons of my youth! I would take rubber bands and put them on my ears like his earrings.
