Super Mario Is Getting Super Creepy
Thanks to this newest video from Max and Sam, the Geekapella boys, I’m beginning to wonder if Princess Peach isn’t getting kidnapped by Bowser all the time — but instead, running to Bowser for protection from the crazy mustachioed man who’s constantly harassing and stalking her, as this video so creepily intimates. I mean, not only is Mario’s Italian accent completely fake, he calls himself a plumber despite doing zero plumbing over the last 20 years. He clearly isn’t right in the head. Remember that time he masqueraded as a doctor and proscribed all those people drugs?
