Considering how much more popular Mario is in canon in the video games, it’s a little surprising how in the shows, their mother favors Luigi. But it does explain why Luigi seems more soft spoken than Mario.
I think Chris Pratt and Charles Martinet are good voices for Mario, but Captain Lou Albano is exactly how I imagine Mario would sound like. He's not just Italian, he's an Italian-American who lives in Brooklyn New York.
@@Kara_Kay_Eschel He's a pretty good choice, too. Almost up there with Lou Albano, but I think Albano's version is better because he sounds friendlier overall. Bob's version sounds gruffer and more aggressive.

This was a really awesome cartoon. Loved the real life guest segments too. "I was born with a plunger in my hand." "I know, it was awfully hard on mom." Lol
@@goldenpig6453 the guy who plays live action Mario was a pro wrestler named Captain Lou Albano. Additionally, some of the guest stars were too (the drill instructor guy was Sergeant Slaughter and the Scottish dude was Rowdy Roddy Piper).
This is exactly one of those shows that you think is innocent as a kid but then as an adult you understand everything that they reference or everything that they say
Look up "Do The Mario: Perry Martin on Scripting the Cartoon Adaptions of the Super Mario Bros." It's a blog post on how Perry Martin got into writing for the show and why the show had moments that seem weird and inappropriate to modern audiences (spoiler alert: the 1980s was whacked out on drugs, money, and the pursuit of pleasure that wasn't sex thanks to AIDS and homophobia).
Sergent Slaughter was part of the WWE (WWF as it was called at the time) before becoming part of the Joes, as was the guy that plays Mario (Captain Lou Albano) Albano might have asked Slaughter to come onto the show. Edit I should also note slaughter wasn't the only WWF wrestler who guest-starred in this show. So, did Roddy Piper
Nothing beats this quote from Mario himself: “Say no!" to drugs, and that anybody who lends you a drug isn't your friend, and that they can kill. Eventually, his end quote is "If you do drugs, you go to hell before you die." "Please."
@Alma I watched it on Netflix too. Specifically on the Wii lol. I was really into Mario Galaxy as a child (still am too) and one day I was on the Netflix channel and decided to do a search for Mario Galaxy wondering if there was something on there, and I came across this show lol.
@@dry4smash946 I've only ever watched Netflix on the Wii lol. My cousins had it on their Wii and that was the way we all watched Netflix there. And since I've never had Netflix back at my home that's the only way I ever watched it.

Don't really watch TV nowadays so I've never really thought of getting it for myself.
At the very end, Luigi’s Chinese cowboy impression is so offensive that Mario’s stomach ulcer explodes, making him incapable of telling Luigi to stop being so fucking racist
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 It's a common joke associated with the still frame, originating from a reply to a post on YouChew that contained an image of the still, providing the following caption: "luigi's chinese cowboy impression is so offensive that mario's stomach ulcer practically explodes and he is unable to ask luigi to stop being so fucking racist.jpg" ie. No one is actually saying it is, man. It's just shitposting.
i mean mario and luigi have such a developed bond that even since birth they just have some sort of esp to see where each other are at all times described as "the bond between brothers" in the yoshi's island game
this is just what I heard but apparently the design they were gonna use looked too much like Harrison Ford to the point it might’ve caused a copyright issue with Indiana Jones. But they ran out of time to redesign/reanimate him so his face was left blank. smth like that, there’s no way they could just forget to draw a character’s face on
@@tiablue9106I was going to say it was a legal issue. According to Perry Martin (the guy who wrote the episode), Indiana Joe was described in the script as being "...a dashing caricature of Harrison Ford in a leather jacket and fedora hat". The designs from the art department came back and IJ was faceless. Either the legal department didn't want them to do it or none of them knew how to draw what Perry Martin was looking for, though the first reason sounds more believable.
One of Luigi's voice actors was Tony Rosato, an Italian-born Canadian (who was also one of only three SCTV cast members to cross over to Saturday Night Live and was the first SNL cast member to be born in a country that's not the United States or Canada). Does that count?

Make no mistake, tickle torture is a real thing.

Agreed

I think it's definitely ironically good, with a few bits of actually good jokes thrown in. But it's the cast that makes it for me.
Damn, there was straight-up torture in this show? Fucking hard-core.
@@Doodlebugthegoldenhamster Maybe because Luigi is cowardly and tickle torture is "softer" (I hear it's really not)
