Super Mario

HEY ASSHOLE STOP TYPING IN DAMN ALL CAPS FOR ONCE OK???? but anywayyyy i give them super mario brothers because i want to see you stop leaving poorly written comments :) de nadaaaaaa ?

Leave your suggestion for next week's Fan Favorite video in the comments!

It's a guy beating the first four Super Mario games all as quickly as possible all at once using only one controller.

Now before you freak out and say, "This is totally impossible!" keep in mind that it's labeled "TAS" which in the video game world means it's "Tool Assisted."

The guy who made the video is the tool.

But this is nothing.  I once beat the first six Mega Man games all at the same time using only one controller.  They key was to lie about it.

One of the NFL's most disappointing running backs led one of the NFL's most disappointing playoff teams to victory with the amazing run you see above.  Then someone added the Super Mario Bros. music to it.

The only difference is that Mario was trying to save the princess whereas Marshawn Lynch was trying to save his career.  Plus I'm pretty sure Mario never had a weapons charge.  You don't really need a weapon to stomp on your enemies' heads.

Daniel recreates level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros to prove that you don't have to break your wrist to save the princess.

A (mildly) hot topic of conversation on Reddit yesterday was jumping over the flagpole in the original Super Mario Bros. video game for the much heralded Nintendo Entertainment System.

2010 will mark the 25th anniversary of the release of Super Mario, so let's just put this debate to rest.

You can jump over the flagpole in the game… and once again the Internet comes to the rescue with the above video of the incident.

And to think, some people blame the economy on the 10% unemployment rate.  Now all you people who have been trying to figure this out for the past 24 years can go get an f'ing job!

Yes, the Internet has tons of pornography…

But it also consistently serves as an outlet for those who seek "mental masturbation" via 80's nostalgia and gadgets with retro appeal.

Sure, the above video of a hand-held gaming system made out of an old NES cartridge looks cool.  But what's the point?

The video doesn't provide a link on where you can buy one of these for yourself.  It doesn't give any instructions on how to make one.  Whoever made this video basically provides no information whatsoever except to say, "Hey, look at this cool thing I have!"

Why would you taunt us like this?  What do you stand to gain?!  Is there a benefit in instilling jealously throughout the world??

Yet people still gawk and covet.  If you build 80's retro junk, they will come.

Serious Lunch recently received a lot of buzz by noting that Conan O'Brien's new Tonight Show monologue backdrop looks like it took more than a little inspiration from Super Mario Bros. as evidenced by the Mario-enhanced version above.

But what we think hasn't been getting enough coverage is how Andy Richter looks suspiciously like a Goomba.
