Title: So...Uh...Baby Waluigi?
Post by: Chocobo on January 21, 2012, 02:15:14 AM

I don't remember playing a game with him in it. I often see him brought up as a joke character for potential roster-stuffing on various message boards. (Okay; just on Game FAQs.) So I'm a little perplexed at how and why I found a plushie of him.

Is this counterfeit or something?

That looks really really really shabby. Could easily be fan made.

I'd expect a fan to make a much better product.

I believe that Waluigi is a clone of somebody's (maybe Pauline or Ludwig) that went horribly wrong and he came out looking the way he does, then broke loose with a ravenous hunger for sports. So canonically he would be about three years old.

Luigi is Wawaluigi.

Nothing ruins my night faster than explaining someone else's joke.

I don't get it. Where does the second Wa come from?

You people don't know how to construct jokes.

I love how that came out just days after the initial comment.  Is someone on the Dorkly crew a FFer?

That video was extremely weird.

It wouldn't surprise me if someone here were a member of Dorkly.

Luigi is Wawaluigi.

Waluigi's name is a portmaneau of warui (meaning evil) and Luigi, making his name literally "evil Luigi" or "eviluigi". Wawaluigi then can't be Luigi, since he's not the evil evil Luigi. Or something.

Luigi is precisely evil evil Luigi.

Speaking of Waluigi, here's an in-depth analysis of his creation, initial back-lash, and even back-lash to the back-lash.  Waluigi is truly the Ghostbusters II of Mario characters: . http://shigeruslist.com/2012/02/29/wheres-waluigi/

A look at the dweebs, trogs, butt-goblins and dingleberries that manage to make Waluigi seem less than terrible: http://shigeruslist.com/2012/03/12/whosucksmorethanwaluigi/
