* ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
** Luigi's different incarnations have gotten nicknames:
*** Weegee - Luigi. Derives from the dubious pronounciation of his name in ''[[Mario Is Missing]]'', a notoriously poor Mario-related educational game. Initially, the nickname referred to a bastardised version of the character as traced from his incredibly ugly sprite in the PC version, who was [[Memetic Mutation|shopped into various images]] as a sort of stalker figure and spread through the internet, but eventually the nickname spread to the original Luigi as well as the fanmade Weegee. Origina are even older than that, going back to the ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' comic from ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' (It's what Mario calls Luigi, EVERY TIME.) It is even recognized by Nintendo. Baby Mario calls Baby Luigi this in ''[[Mario and Luigi Partners In Time|Mario & Luigi: Partners inIn Time]]''. Whenever Baby Luigi is knocked out and neither adult Luigi nor adult Mario are on the battlefield, Baby Mario will exclaim: "WOAH! WEEGEE!!". Luigi ''himself'' can be heard using this pronunciation clearly. Yes, the adult one (in different games).
*** Gay Luigi - Luigi in ''[[Hotel Mario]]'' due to a [[Mondegreen]] where most hear Mario say "Nice of the Princess to invite us over for a picnic, gay Luigi" instead of "-c, eh Luigi." Also, Gay Luigi has sometimes been used as the name for Luigi's pink outfit in the ''[[Super Smash Bros]]'' series.
*** Mama Luigi - Luigi in the [[Super Mario World (animation)|cartoon]] allegedly based on ''Super Mario World'', thanks to the episode "Mama Luigi," which gave birth to many [[Memetic Mutation|memes]] and [[Youtube Poop|YouTube Poops]] (then he got frowned upon in the latter for overuse).
