Stupid Mario Brothers



""And was like 'yeah this is crap it's going nowhere'...Boy was I wrong!"

Richard Michael Alvarez, creator of the series, on his opinion of the creation of the series"

Stupid Mario Brothers is a relatively popular YouTube show hosted on Richalvarez's channel. It is independently made by a group of friends who also made Youtube News which guest starred in Act I of the Movie and hosted the Mushroom Kingdom Election between Mario and Wario. .

The show features a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of many Nintendo characters, as well as a few from from other franchises. It places them in the real world, where they can do anything from playing their own game to saving the entire world.

Now has a recap page in construction which Needs More Love.

"Snake: You were dead, you came back. Vercetti was dead, he came back. What's the point of killing you if you're just gonna come back?"
 * Action Girl: Mona
 * Acting for Two: Every actor has played more than one character.
 * A Good Name for a Rock Band: X and the Ys version with Johnny Mushroom and the Kingdoms.
 * Along with Wario's short lived band Tommy Fungus and the Dungeons.
 * April Fools' Day: Episode 55 was delayed for two weeks, replaced with a video PSA about smoking.
 * The same thing was repeated with Episode 68 only with a skit featuring Julian (Snake) and Austin (Brock) where Julian plays Resident Evil 4. Richard hilarious lampshaded the fact people fell for it the second time around.
 * All Just a Dream: The beginning of Episode 46.
 * Ascended Extra: Walgina gets a bigger role in Season 3.
 * Altum Videtur: Used lightly since Nox Decious was introduced.

 * Wario and Waluigi do a few of these in the finale.
 * Back for the Finale: Everyone except Ash, Daisy, Peach, Otacon and a handful of other characters returns for Season 5..
 * Back From the Dead: Almost every villain. And it's lampshaded every time. The most notable example so far is a comment made by Snake to Blaire Vherestorm in Season 5:

"Masterson: Donkey Kong! You stole my band. (laughs) Now you're gonna learn what it's like to lose something you love: your life!"
 * Back Stab: Practically a theme
 * Badass: Snake and Max Payne. (Note: they are both played by Julian)
 * Badass Biker: Wario's Wario Ware costume. (He still needs a bike though)
 * Badass Normal: UPS and arguably Fed Ex. That is, when they don't use slap combat.
 * Badass Longcoat: The Darkness sports one of these, as does Liquid Snake and Blaire Vherestorm.
 * Berserk Button: If you know what's good for you, never dance in front of the Dance Instructor.
 * Be sure to never pitch a video game idea to Bob and Joe. Ash succeeds with his Pokemon idea, however.

 * Breaking the Fourth Wall: Happens quite often, the best known example being when . Later, when

 * At the beginning of Season 4, Snake claims that he saw his brother Liquid (whom he believed to have killed in The Movie) drinking Starbucks.

 * The Cast Showoff:
 * The Johnny Mushroom episodes
 * episode 45 for Wario and Waluigi.
 * Cerebus Syndrome: The very first season largely centered on the Mario Bros. goofing off until Episode 15, after which they became much more serious while alternating between their serious and goofy selves: in Season Four, every character is a clever mix of both their serious and goofy selves, or as Mario puts it in Episode 57, "seriously funny."

 * Continuity Nod:

"Wario: So why do we fight with Li.... uhh I mean Beam Swords? Mario: I don't know. They use them in Super Smash Brothers."
 * Double Vision: used often due to the limited number of actors. The most notable example is probably any scene with Mario and Merlin, which requires a split screen.

 * Lampshaded by Wario and Mario in Season 4

"Donkey Kong: Can you guys forgive me? Mario: OF COURSE NOT! Did you think I would just forget about this, Pauline, and the toilet seat!"
 * Lighter and Softer: Season 4 . Previously we've dealt with evil copies of Mario and Luigi, Bowser, and a temporarily evil Wario. Now we have comic relief ninjas.
 * Line-of-Sight Name: Snake gets one in The Interactive Adventure. "My name is um... Stapler...Cheeto!"
 * Loony Fan: More like a Crazy-obsessed-stalker-who-makes-you-unable-to-sleep-at-night Fan, as evidenced by her "Let's Get Hammered" Mario T-Shirt.

 * And then the Master Sword in Season 5.

 * Nightmare Sequence: Luigi has two concerning
 * Ninja: Though they are very lazy and stupid. But make for a Funny Background Event.
 * No Name Given: The "Package Delivery Men" are only known by the company the represent.
 * No Pronunciation Guide: Ryu's name because of how Richard always pronounced it Rai-Yu instead of Rie-Yu when he was younger.
 * Justified as a lot of people unfamiliar with Japanese names probably did the same as him, too. Whatever the case, though, it's still interesting to note that he chose to mispronounce it due to thinking the actual pronunciation sounded too lame, according to a forum post he made.
 * By Season 5 it went back to its original pronounciation with Ryu claiming it was pronounced like that the entire time.

 * Please Subscribe to Our Channel: A pretty unique one too as Richard performs a funny voice at the end of every episode (and video for that matter) that goes like this:

 * Put on a Bus / Written-In Absence: Happens quite a bit.
 * Waluigi has this happen, thanks to the actor living quite far away.
 * Brock, played by Austin, has the same problem but managed to come back for Season 4 and 5.
 * Peach and Walgina had this happen for a different reason--they've since broken up with the main actors.

 * "I roll with gangs", a joke originally made in Episode 1's bloopers.
 * There's also "From Mona?", which started from a joke in Episode 51's bloopers. It later appears in the bloopers for Episode 53, and seems to be on it's way to becoming a Running Gag.
 * Sad Times Montage: Episode 2, after Luigi leaves
 * School Is for Losers: Brock reasons his return from Reffing School was because "School is for Slow-pokes".
 * Subverted when he revealed in Season Four that he finished Reffing school with honours.

 * To Airplane!

"Gee, that stung!"
 * These Bloopers feature one to The Room
 * Say My Name: Happens during Mario's battle with Nox Decious.
 * Sliding Scale of Silliness Versus Seriousness: Each season was either silly or serious thanks to an Unpleasable Fanbase.

 * Super Mode: Like in the games, Mario + Fire Flower = Fire Mario
 * Taking You with Me: In their second fight, Liquid  while calling out this trope by name, but

 * Terrible Interviewees Montage: Mario and Luigi suffer this while trying to start the band in Season 1.
 * That Man Is Dead:
 * The Man Behind the Man / The Big Bad Shuffle:
 * The Other Darrin: DK has been played by many actors within the suit and is made more hilarious when they changed the suit (as the original wasn't owned by the filmmakers).
 * Bowser is replaced for Season 5 by Austin (Brock).
 * I Am Old And Will Be Gone... Bitch
 * Throwing Your Sword Always Works: during Wario's battle with the Darkness in The Movie,  However,

"If you guys hate toilet humor, then you're going to hate the next episode when I eat poop and smear it on my face while throwing it at Mario's face and then swimming in a diarrhea fountain."
 * Toilet Humour: Quite a bit. While Justified by the source material (as Wario has a fart attack), it is disliked by several fans. This caused a funny Take That by Julian (Snake) over the forums:

"Mario: Hmm. I can't believe I just did that. I'm supposed to be a fun loving video game character. Oh well!."
 * Took a Level In Badass: Mario in "The Interactive Adventure." He then Lampshades this.

 * Also episode 14
 * Turned Against Their Masters: The Darkness against Decious.

 * What Could Have Been:
 * Link was originally played by someone else (the voice at the end of Season 1) but he was unavailable for Season 2.
 * Christian (Ryu) could've played Kid Icarus in Season 2
 * Julian (Snake) was a big fan of Resident Evil 4 and wanted to be Leon in the show.
 * Dane was given the option of playing Ness or Ash. He chose Ash cause he loved Pokémon. Too bad it didn't last.
 * Richard (Mario and co-creator) during Season 1 almost wrote several episodes that took place before Mario's very first trip to the Mushroom Kingdom, where he was a normal teenager working part time at a plumbing company, and where Merlin opens the portal to the Mushroom Kingdom and gives him his hat. However he and Chris (Luigi and co-creator) decided that is was too much backstory for a comedy show.
 * What Happened to the Mouse?:
 * Is Waluigi still employed at the printer shop?
 * What was in the letter meant for Mario in Episiode 22?
 * The $8000 Mario and Luigi got from the Mafia. Word of God claims they used it to pay Max Payne.
 * The Wiki Rule: Stupid Mario Bros. Wiki. It's still under construction though.
 * Wimp Fight: Appears a lot in a form called "Slap Combat"
 * Woman Scorned: Pauline but she doesn't really target Mario or try to kill him. But she still blames him for it all.
 * Word of Saint Paul: Kevin Chamberlain (Yoshi) owns a youtube account here where he often does a series called History of Stupid Mario Brothers (inspired by Linkara's History of Power Rangers) which shows his own opinion on the show and confirms several things in real life that Richie hasn't.
 * Word of God:
 * The creators and actors tend to go on the Fan Forums to answer fan's questions. A fan should be warned they don't go on as much as they used to, although Season 4 has already contained characters suggested by fans and now fans are bombarding them with villains for Season 5.
 * Chris (Luigi) started a show called Wiki Weegee answering fans questions. This is his channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SilverShadow721
 * World of Ham
 * You Didn't Ask: Mario and Luigi never asked Ash if he could play anything besides the Pokéflute.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Played with.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Played with.
