Mario Reacts to NFTs in Video Games
The blockchain, bitcoin, crypto, and now the next evolution NFTs have arrived, and with their rapid adoption within gaming and other media, good ol' Mr. Richards has a plan to make some serious coin with none other than the super mustachioed Nintendo money maker himself, Mario. Mario is skeptical, and tries to voice why NFTs are bad, but will he be heard?

NEW VIDEOS ON FRIDAYS! The Warp Zone is a pop-culture sketch comedy, gaming, and music video channel.
We here at The Warp Zone have a passion for all things nerdy- video games, movies, tv shows, comics, superheroes, and anime and we love making funny videos about them! - Komedie
"I've been a plumber for 35 years, and I know bullshit when I smell it" is a great line! Props to whoever wrote that one!
Bulls don't use plumbing.
@@misterdrgn5155 He means the Chicago Bulls.
dude I was scrolling down to look at the comments saw this and then immediately after he said that
NFTs are proof we are living in an era of validation and dopamine addiction. " - Princess Peach
She must be spending all that time in another castle studying psychology.
Where was she when MySpace began?

"I've been a Plumber for 35 years"
Mario, you've literally done everything BUT plumbing in your games since you got a name
Did you forget about that one time in 3D World when they actually fixed a pipe? And that other time in Superstar Saga when they fixed the plumbing in the basement?
No no he's got a point
@@WegraX *Surprised Pikachu face*
@@WegraX or the movie...oh wait, it's better forgotten.
@@PurooRoy said movie doesn't exist, we all agreed to never speak of it
NFT’s, sounds like a Pyramid Scheme with extra steps.
P.S. The guy they got for Mario gives me Edward Norton vibes. Makes me wish they got him to be Mario for the Mario movie.
Bingo Bango Bongo, someone got laid in college
That's exactly what they are
not just any edward norton vibes but death to smoochi edward norton vibes
Of Edward Norton was in the movie it would end up being a satire criticizing something fucked up from our society, and it would be like really fucked up and really good
Literally.
I like how nfts are already proven to be a failure, but yet companies still think it’s gonna catch on.
Literally all an “nft” is, is a digital receipt, the “ledger” being a blockchain instead of Walmart or target..
Never underestimate the stupidity of the masses to buy into the hype tho.
Because they’re embarrassed for not getting into the Internet sooner, social media, video streaming, etc. So now they’re trying to get in on the next fad
Yep, they're already too late. The vast majority of the internet already knows they are scammy nonsense. The only market for this is going to be stupid kids with parents who don't get it.
So, microtransactions but worse.
At least the poppy playtime Devs learned that people don't want NFTS
Did you not catch the monolugue the Exec went as why it will succeed due to fear and ignorance.
This Mario is my favorite character on this channel already. Evidence of a life lived in this man. Hope we see him again
ikr.
I love the "I know I've sold out before, but not in a scummy way." Gotta respect a man of principle
We know it's just sketches and jokes but the script is pure genius with how you handle the subtext with the Mario reaction. What a freaky world we live in folks. Anyway thanks for the laughs.
All of Warp Zone videos are usually just that well written... Especially the Dick Richards ones
you know, I'm trying to listen to Mario, but all I can think about is How can he get those metal loops around those buttons, they are HUGE!!
Glad it's not just me.
Um, excuse me, but his eyes are up there. Jeez...
Bro same
After they talked about NFTs being a way to make digital goods a limited respource, I was expecting that Mario would also be called out on his anniversary 3 game collection, that was only a limited time offer.
I don’t think that was his idea
That's just another of Dick Richard's schemes
You do know mario 3d all stars being a limited time game was a joke right? It's still in stores today.
@@sonicfan701 it was not a joke. At least in my country you can not find it in the eshop and stores can not restock it once they sold their supply of it, since Nintendo limited it, so it has become quite rare to get for its original price.
This might actually be one of the best descriptions and arguments against NFTs that I've seen. Really well done.
For Doctor Strange next month, are we finally getting the Dick Richards Multiverse War? If so, can we have a Scrooge McDuck swimming in money scene?
While I didn't get the ending I wanted, I'm glad it didn't have Mario convert to this sick idea of NFTs like other characters were suckered into in these sketches.
Agreed
@@mjtubeme Mario has fucking integrity
title should've been "warp zone destroys capitalism and nfts with facts and logic using mario" this is awesome.
"Dystopian... future? Bitch, take a look around!" Dying 😂
I agree NFTs are a waste of time. And are a scam.
Nfts are a just a receipt.
Receipts are pretty much worthless, I could show you a receipt for my bike but would you care? So they aren’t a scam, just mostly worthless for 99% of things , and ppl not understanding them wasting money.
A real life use would be digital game receipts, would be cool to resell your digital games like we used to with disc games.
@@carsonhunt4642 as a futurist gamer you actually have a great idea on how to fully utilize the NFT system! 👍
@@carsonhunt4642 Why would people buy a digital game from someone when they could buy it from the companies themselves? Digital games can be copied indefinitely with no cost and effort and companies put them on sales all the time (except nintendo). Also owning an uninstalled digital game takes no space at all compared to a physical game.
@@FlyJonat
The point would be for reselling, pretty simple to understand.
And agree companies would be against this they’d rather you buy it full price from their store, hence it’s unlikely to be adopted.
@nice youtube
Your explanation is about fomo and why ppl waste money on nfts like “art”.
I never argued against any of that.
Nft’s literally are a receipt, a public digital ledger, that anyone can check to verify something. What the receipt is for is where it gets random. Random dumb art? Mostly a scam. Nft for title for a car, house, digital game ownership, etc.. there’s real use cases for it that aren’t just blatant scams like digital art lol.
I like this Mario. On most internet skits involving him he's misrepresented as a hot headed selfish piece of trash, but in this sketch it's more in line with Mario's personality in the games.
I mean MatPat may have a tiny bit of fault for that one lol
@@bestaround3323 not just a tiny bit
People just like to demoralize characters like Mario and Mickey Mouse who are mascots of multi billion dollar companies. They're moreso representing the morally gray/black companies rather than the characters themselves. Still, I much prefer Mario to be...well...Mario
All of y’all really don’t know what comedy is.
@@TheOfficalBiggestBird Yeah we do. It just isn’t that funny to demoralize Mario.
Remember when you bought a game at Gamestop and that was the entire game with unlockable skins that prove how good you are at the game instead of proving you had €5 too much?
at least Nintendo isn't as bad with the microtransactions.
@@Martypuppet Talking in general, but yes, thank god Nintendo doesn't overdo it
I also remember having to do chores and earn and save up money to buy a game.
Nowadays kids just download the “free” garbage, and then spend on it instead. And this model is actually more profitable, many spenders spend hundreds instead of just $60 one time lol
@@carsonhunt4642 There are some good free games though
I got Hollow Knight from PS+ which isn't really free but I need it for multiplayer anyway so...
Let’s go Richards is back!! I been watching all the episodes of Richards last night 😊
If him and pitch meeting guy team up
I was waiting for him to return since this whole nfts in video games situation began
Bruh . me too!
@@theicecreamcookiemonster1746 Ryan George would be Dick Richards favorite employee
This was so great. Love how you cast Mario as someone who cares about gamers and their experience. And yeah, life is kinda dystopiany already. We're just leaning in and hoping to come out the other side sooner rather than later.
This is the Luigi-est Mario I've ever seen.
Richards......... I should've known he was behind NFT's
I’ve never seen Mario so chill before, and I honestly quite like it.
Makes sense. Mario doesn't speak much most of the time other than phrases in the games. Despite Mario showing enthusiasm throughout the adventures, he is otherwise a calm and chill guy
Have no idea why you choose specificaly Mario to react, but it's an amazing comentary regardless. 😍 Good job.
Mario's synonymous with gaming as a whole so we chose him to represent the concept of "video games"
@@TheWarpZone and plumber jokes ofcourse
I love the Dick Richards videos because they speak the truth on a scary level which is just freaking hilarious 😂
He hates Jews in universe and in real life.
8:48
For just a moment I wished this was the mario that was going to be in the mario movie
I wonder how chris Pratt going to nail mario
Mario is my mood for real lmao
Sasha killed it with his performance. I thought I was watching a show on television!
You really missed out not having him re-show the mushroom and telling him "This sells for 500,000$"
I love Mario's voice it's great.
"The convolutedness isn't a bug, it's a feature"
Yep, this is Ubisoft alright
Mario knows his games.
Loved the part where he deconstructed diablo
Finally, someone said it in an easy-to-understand way.
Agreed
"NFT, something that works in ever game!?
we already have that, it's call an Amiibos!"
I would like to see Mario react to the casting choices of his movie
Always knew Dick Richards has a Plot twist in the End and that was 🤣
The monologue was incredibly well written
- It's one big scam!
- Yes. Obviously. Wait, you not realize that till just now?
I was never so early!
Also the _What's an Elden Ring?_ Line was awesome!
“The too long didn’t read generation” is a scary statement. Headlines alone shaping worldviews - what a time to be alive.
"Even I've been guilty of selling out time to time"
Like the time he did a mobile game that his agent recommended?
I love these videos for their reflective on the cynical world in a very direct way, for in a way they're a modern satire.
This might be some of the best writing Warp Zone has done. Fantastic job, guys!
“What’s an Elden ring?” 🤣😂🤣 that got me
Warp Zone delivering some great satire these days. Actually, last few years.
Dick Richards. Otherwise known as Fox Studio Executive, Video Game Agent, Scrooge McDuck, Ebenezer Scrooge, Lego Batman, Mr Burns, Skeletor and Caillou combined.
Welp, this hit in an extremely depressing way…
You guys continue to amaze me 👏👏👏 keep up this legendary content
I wish for a big budget triple AAA Mario Game
Does Mr. Richards own a lot of companies or does he have brothers that does the same job as him?
I like to think every company has their own Dick Richards who probably run their own cult to take over the world.
Maybe he has brothers and they don’t like him
he probably borrowed cloning technology from ryan george
How does this video only have 50k views!?!?!?! This is such a good video continuing an amazing series
CZcams must like NFTs... 😕
Dick is the best written character ever, i love him 😂😂🔥
Damnit warp zone you missed the chance to make a videogame highschool joke at the end! "At the end of the day...... Its all about the game."
Would love to see one of these where it sucks for him without a comeback in the end.
Watch the Disney Deadpool one!
An idea for that type of situation is Dick Richards representing TV companies like Disney trying to cheapen and alter the online show Hazbin hotel but they have a devoted fanbase and successful merchandise sales.
Hadn't actually seen that one somehow. Was pretty awesome, but I'm referring to the in character getting truly owned.
Though the 4th walls breaks were perfect.
did you try the wonder woman one?
This is insane but truth. Mario does make a great point on how gaming used be two decades ago and I remember when we got a complete game for sixty dollars and DLC was a whole separate game that expanded the original for roughly twenty dollars. I am glad I left the whole gaming scene.
Side note, I love Mario's overalls in this video and his accent. The individual really brought Mario to life as it seem that he would talk as such if he was real.
Wow. Finally someone explains what NFTs are and why they exist in a way i understand. I get it now.
I love all of the Dick^2 videos... the unabashed over-the-top moral bankruptcy is amazing. It's the little bits that really sell how terrible and uncaring he is... "or whatever" lol.
I am concerned for Davis's soul... he "plays" DD^2 way too well.
“ how’s a guy like me to make a dishonest living “ if that doesn’t perfect summarize capitalism
YES! Another Dick Richards video 😁 and as always great video Warp Zone 👍👍👍👍👍🤗❤️💕
Nintendo is a super slow company to adapt ideas from other companies. They wait a long while to ensure it's a lasting good idea financially. I don't think NFTs will last long enough to reach a Mario game. That's far from saying Nintendo doesn't sell out to scam ideas. They absolutely do. They just prefer to either come up with their own ideas, or wait until other companies' ideas are ancient enough for very few people to notice them jumping in.
Any other company though... Wouldn't surprise me to see it attempted.
9:58 Sonic, "Or maybe they were shocked to see a video game movie done right. And realized a video game movie COULD be done right... and the people dared to feel hope again."
"They could use it, they could sell it"
Sounds like a CSGO skin to me and Valve clearly isn't using NFTs
How many companies does Dick Richards own?
Yes
@@spicybean2004 I was just about to say that
This Mario feels like a Wise Grandpa who's tries to talk their Grandchildren out of the morally grey "Jobs".
Mario is my mood
Thank you for making this.
Surprised there wasn’t a joke about Sonic because of his recent movie sequel?
HZD and HFW have the worst luck in terms of release date. They're decent games that release right alongside a masterpiece
Warp zone is amazingly funny🤣
Mister a Mario is here to see you
@warpzone You guys really have something here with Dick Richards. Every one of these videos has been pure gold and Davis is fantastic in the role.
This sketch is just beyond terrifying. Every single negative potential thought I had about NFTs was vocalised in rapid succession. What happened to innovation, actual creativity, and integrity in the development side of the gaming industry? Pointing the finger at capitalism as a whole doesn't do it enough justice. The most incredible skill that humanity possesses is storytelling. This essential skill has been used and abused to justify some of our greatest atrocities, used for misdirection with the advent and widespread terms like "fake news." A famous quote speaks this lesson in volumes "History is written by the victor." Gaming became a new frontier, a magical platform to involve people within the narrative, to go further with RPGs allowing the player to adapt and change the world around them by their own choices. Unfortunately, since the era of streaming and digital content, certain cosmetic DLC and microtransactions were the early symptoms of this disease that has stricken the industry. The early home console era had final products on the shelves. Hidden content was made to be found and earned, not purchased.
The Cloud Strife plush in his office is a nice touch.
nevermind that anything digital is only as safe as there are copies of it available to an individual. NFT's...*spit*
I love you guys! This is my fav series/style.
I like the implication that Luigi is kind of a rebel and those not playball with the bigwigs
The Warp Zone is always delivering in these sketches :D Much love from Denmark
Damn, Mario, I think you need a checkup.
I rewatch this video for the Mario acting 😂
I want to see Dick Richards go against his own boss…. Mickey
Of all the nft videos, this is ironically one of the best explanations I've heard. Not just what it is, but how it works and the underlying economical concepts behind it.
And the Oscar goes to, Mario Mario!
Love the Mario voice here. Instead of an Italian accent, it's more of a high-pitched-ish Brooklyn accent like Chris Pratt. Wonder what Luigi would sound like in a Dick Richards video.
Dick Richard’s is an amazing Villain I’ll tell you that
I like how these are essentially debate-club type debates where one is pro NFT, (and extremely confident about it) and the other is anti-NFT, but in reality they are both anti-NFT.
“Not a bug, it’s it’s greatest feature.”
TODD
Hilarious as always. Well done!
Listen to Mario, mate, he knows his stuff.
Kinda sweet how quick NFT's are crashing and burning now.
Props to Mario who didn't cave in to Dick's sales pitch unlike all his other victims...er...employees.
HEY! I practiced typing with Mario Typing!
Wow.. this is actually a well-reserched think-piece masquerading as a humourous sketch
Great video, guys! I hope you guys can make more MCU Disney+ Dick Richards videos.
0:21 surprised there was not a reference to Trevor Moore
This was brilliant, lol. Smh, now let's see how accurate their predictions are. Oh, didn't snoop just buy a million dollar claim to a virtual space??? Damn. Seems these guys got a crystal ball up their bum
The future IS looking very profitable to other companies.
This guy did a great job playing Mario
Holy shit the Forbidden West getting overshadowed by Elden Ring, didn't even think about that shit.
I’m excited for Netflix Reacts to Disney Plus Part 3…the material should be pretty good since Disney+ has taken back the Netflix Marvel shows
I love the writing in this
I seriously thought it was just going to be the same actor playing both characters like on the always hilarious Ryan George channel. I thought that because I remember the Dick Richards actor being Mario in another video.
The world's most grossing franchise not on Dick's desk? Where the hell is Pokémon Richards...
Pikachu is on a picture in the background 🤷♂️
@@TheWarpZone oh, didnt see it
Nfts that make items in different games would be sick though
