Nintendo put out this promotion today. It cracks me up.

That's pretty cool...

I was going to give it to my sister, but I'd be heartbroken to find out that she hung-up on him. >_>

Hmm, who will I give it too...

LynxRunner · « **Reply #2 on:** November 26, 2008, 10:19:28 PM »

Wow, that's really neat.

I should send it to one of my friends. Hmm.

That's even better than the Red Steel one.

Man, I love this. Charles Martinet must have had a field day with this one, it's so funny listening to his over-the-top delivery. I especially like how he pronounces "New Super Mario Bros." And whenever he says "a little bit shy, like a little baby mushroom, aw."

Because I suspected there was some fancy generate-audio going on, I tried typing in two unusual names, but it said it didn't know how to pronounce them. Geez, it doesn't even know how to pronounce "Bowser" or "Yoshi". So let's hope your name and whoever you're sending it to are common names.

Just checked the field for types you can choose from for how you're related to the recipient, and I noticed "Mario" and "Love Bunny". Something about "love bunny" is hilarious to me, but I've never heard of someone being another's Mario. I've heard of being someone's Yoko Ono, but not Mario.

Mario can't read my name and my friend's name (that is Luigi, so I thought it would be natural for him XD) !;_;
But the idea is cute!^^ Do you know how can I make it work?=<

The Chef · « **Reply #6 on:** November 30, 2008, 05:13:31 PM »

Uh.. put in a name he can actually pronounce? <:)

But it's not cuuute if there isn't my name and his one!;_;

Well... I don't know what to tell ya. Apparently ~~the automation can't process~~.... I mean Mario isn't "allowed" to pronounce your name. I do feel sorry though. <:3

I doubt they programmed a whole Martinet voice synthesizer. They probably just had him record a bunch of words.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #10 on:** December 02, 2008, 01:20:47 AM »

I still agree with Caterina that it's disturbing he can't say Luigi.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #11 on:** December 02, 2008, 09:59:40 AM »

It absolutely is.

Super Caterina! · « **Reply #12 on:** December 02, 2008, 11:04:49 AM »

It worked!

I made a little changes!XD I put my name in English (that is Katherine) and then I wrote to my friend Luigi his second name, that is Mario (I don't know why Mario can say his own name but not that of his brother =( But the fact that my pal has that second name is luck for me!XD ).
Then I sent one also to my mother, always writing her name in English (her name Anna Maria, but I wrote Hanna).
Pretty sad the thing to write my name and those of the others in English- for me, but it works!^^

Can't wait to see their responces after Christmas!=3

It'd be awesome if there was a Mario voice synthesizer. Granted it's hard to improve upon that recent story where the Mortal Kombat announcer recorded lines like "Epic Fail", but it'd still be cool. Someone should make professional software that does that. You'd probably have to record hours of syllables, but imagine the result. Now people will be able to blackmail you by making you say things you never said. "I never said that!" "Are you sure? It sounds like you! A thousand people in this town and you're telling me there are other people who sound exactly like you?"

Or imagine the late Don LaFontaine (or Pablo Francisco who does an uncanny impression) voicing what you do on your computer. "In a world... full of imposing error messages... one man dares to put them in their place once and for all... by clicking the OK button..."

There's that one YTMND where someone got Don to read the "Safety Not Guaranteed" classified ad.

Forest Guy · « **Reply #15 on:** December 05, 2008, 05:38:17 PM »

Uh, you do realize it's a prerecorded voice actor, and not the REAL Mario, right Caterina?

In this topic: jokes fly over people's heads.

In that picture: cokes fly over people's heads.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #19 on:** December 06, 2008, 07:21:56 AM »

Forest Guy: Doesn't know what a joke is.

Bigluigifan1.0: Makes a hilarious joke right below the non-jokes.

penguinwizard · « **Reply #20 on:** December 06, 2008, 12:05:49 PM »

My favorite ASCII art for "joke flying over your head" is something like:

-------> joke
o
\|/ <-- you
/ \

What's the point of that coke flying over the guy's head? Looked like a Diet Coke & Mentos thing with a lookalike guy from Evolution of Dance.

I have, for some time, been hoping to find a macro along those lines. Thanks for introducing me to that alternative, though!

What do you mean?XD I know that he is Charles Martinet, the person who gives the voice to Mario! XD
My friend (of real life) is really called Luigi Mario if you meant that by the way...Have I confused you?=D
Or maybe you confused me...@_@

Forest Guy · « **Reply #23 on:** December 08, 2008, 04:52:39 PM »

I was just joking around Caterina. I was implying that there's an actual real Mario in reality. Unfortunately for all of us, there is not...

And Lizard Dude, back off you little twit. Are you seriously that awkward that you feel the need to pick a fight with me in every freaking topic? Get a grip. Just because you're still emo about being fired isn't my problem. We're two different people, doesn't give you the right to incessantly jump at every instance to go DURRR IM LIEK BETTAR THAN U LOLOLOL. Gimme a break. Go ask Chupperson for lessons on how to disagree without being a ******bag.

What is with that picture, anyway?

penguinwizard · « **Reply #26 on:** December 10, 2008, 09:29:02 PM »

We'll probably never know. My only guess is it has something to do with stuff flying over people's heads.

WinCamXP · « **Reply #27 on:** December 23, 2008, 10:35:17 AM »

lawl i sent this to my mom and disguised my name as Mario. Muahaha! I sent it to her school address! And...
