Will Mario ever appear at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?

[edward1978]

If Sonic the Hedgehog gets to appear as a ballon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, howcome Mario never gets to make an appearence?  So will Mario ever get to make an appearence at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade as a ballon, a walkaround character, etc?

[The Chef]

Nope.

[BP]

Pikachu makes more money.

Alternately, Spider-Man fills the Hero Dressed In Red And Blue quota

[PaperLuigi]

He's usually too busy saving the Mushroom Kingdom this time of year.

[Toad]

I seem to recall Mario appearing in at least one Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. I want to say it was around the time SML2 was released, since I can remember playing my GameBoy that Thanksgiving, taking a short break to watch the parade, and seeing Mario..

Pikachu has got to go because Pokemon is stupid.  Can't Nintendo ever sit Pikachu out just once so that Mario can be in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?

I agree with the blunt newcomer.  Replace with Mario or, better yet, Samus.

[edward1978]

So do I.  I don't know why Nintendo never wants to give Mario an appearence at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade giving it to Pikaturd every year.  I'm sorry, but Mario is the face of Nintendo as Mickey Mouse is the face of Disney.  I believe that every character that is the face of a company like Nintendo and Disney should have at least one appearence in the parade.  I don't mind Sonic being in the parade because he is the face of Sega.  What do you guys think?

[CrossEyed7]

I agree with the blunt newcomer.

So do I.

...You are the blunt newcomer.

Pikachu is a multi-gazzilion dollar franchise. In the late nineties-early early two thousands era, Pokémon was huge.

[Trainman]

Maybe it's an issue with licensing costs like Wreck-It Ralph. They said Mario's not in it because of his licensing fee being astronomical.

I wonder how one major company inquires to another about rights, etc.

[TheMightyThor]

They got Bowser, and referenced Mario. Plus, wasn't them not knowing what to do with Mario the main reason?

[MEGAߥTE]

Maybe it's an issue with licensing costs like Wreck-It Ralph. They said Mario's not in it because of his licensing fee being astronomical.

No it wasn't; they just couldn't figure out a good role for him.

[The Chef]

I thought it was both?

Pikachu has got to go because Pokemon is stupid.

You have got to go because You are stupid.

I don't know why Nintendo never wants to give Mario an appearence at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade giving it to Pikaturd every year.

It's because they hate you.

What do you guys think?

I think a lot of things.

[PaperLuigi]

I agree with the blunt newcomer. 

So do I.

DO YOU HAVE TO BE INSULTING TO ME!!!  YOU BETTER WATCH OUT WHO YOU CALL STUPID YOU JERK!!!

[PaperLuigi]

I think you should follow your own advice, kiddo.

EDIT: edward1978 edited his post so now mine looks really out of place. Basically he called Chef stupid and then told him to "watch out who you call stupid." lol

What Chef posted in his reply is downright insulting, saying that I have to go because i'm stupid, and to say that they hate me is absoutely degrading.  Now I don't say anything insulting to anybody on this board, and I ask that you guys to treat me with the same respect the way I treat you.

Now let's all get back to the subject of seeing Mario at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

[The Chef]

Nobody has seen Mario at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

[PaperLuigi]

What Chef posted in his reply is downright insulting, saying that I have to go because i'm stupid, and to say that they hate me is absoutely degrading. 

You can't just waltz into a room, call something stupid without giving a valid reason and not expect someone to tell you you're an idiot. Chef was just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Sorry. 

Also, if you actually believe anyone on this board legitimately hates you, you need to leave immediately.

[Ym9iYnlzcTEzMzc equalsign]

I was going to post a joke image, but I noticed that Raccoon Mario is strangly fitting for a balloon.

No he wasn't giving me a taste of my own medicine and you know it!  You better get you facts straight buddy.

[PaperLuigi]

So wait, you didn't just call for the removal of Pokémon from the Thanksgiving parade on the grounds that you think it's stupid?

[BriGuy92]

Pikachu has got to go because Pokemon is stupid.

You have got to go because You are stupid.

Notice a similarity, edward?

[BP]

Maybe Pikachu should get gone after all, there are clearly other takers much more qualified for this line of work

[edward1978]

Pokemon is a franchise, HELLO!  The characters are not real.

[PaperLuigi]

Whoa, no way?

[BP]

I'm convinced that the platypus is a real one. It's a mammal that lays eggs, it's really funny looking and has a ridiculous name, and even packs some poison. Even if it's not poison-type, every pokémon  can learn Toxic.

[Ultima Shadow]

I would be fine with Pikachu being replaced only if it is by a giant replica of Shigeru Miyamoto's head that fires lasers at onlookers and spurts out new Mario titles from its mouth.

You're all welcome.

[edward1978]

Why do you think he has the name Simon Cowell under his username? Not to apologize for him, but being sensitive on the internet is likely to lead you to more strife than it's worth.

[The Chef]

It says "Simon Cowell" under my username because I am in fact Simon Cowell.

[Weegee]

Word has it Mario will be appearing at another kind of parade.

[The Chef]

Why are you celebrating? It hasn't actually happened yet.

[Toad]

He's obviously from some sort of alternate timeline where there is a Mario balloon in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

[Hello:)]

And all chefs are nice.

[Weegee]

[iceburn.gif]

[Toad]

Ahem

[TheColonelKR]

Why are you celebrating? It hasn't actually happened yet.

I'm celebrating because it's fun to imagine what would it be like if there were a Miyamoto balloon, not a Mario balloon, like the one Ultima described.  That's why I quoted him when I sung the Hallelujah Chorus.  I wanted to thank him.  Follow the context clues, dude.

And all chefs are nice.

Man, I'd like to visit that timeline some time.

[The Chef]

I didn't see any context, let alone context clues.

Also a Miyamoto balloon would be the scariest thing in the universe.

[Hello:)]

You didn't what? Did you not every any context clues? Did you not accidentally any context clues?
Chef edited his post. The original said " I didn't any context clues".

[TheColonelKR]

I didn't see any context, let alone context clues.

Of course you didn't.

Also a Miyamoto balloon would be the scariest thing in the universe.

Aw, come on!  Don't be a party pooper!  Unless, by "scary," you mean hilariously awesome.

[Weegee]

I'm with The Chef on this one.

He kinda looks like a Japanese version of your avatar in that light.

[Hello:)]

Untrue. Weegee's avatar is hilarious. Miyamoto is disturbing.

[PaperLuigi]

Weegee's avatar is also a baby. Are you saying Miyamoto looks like a baby?

[TheColonelKR]

Weegee's avatar is also a baby. Are you saying Miyamoto looks like a baby?

Uh, sorry.  I had no idea that that was an avatar depicting a baby looking like Roger Ebert crossed with that guy who played Professor Crawley on that Big Bang Theory episode with the cricket.

[Weegee]

Actually, it's a combination of babby.jpg and costanza.jpg.

[The Chef]

Uh, sorry.  I had no idea that that was an avatar depicting a baby looking like Roger Ebert crossed with that guy who played Professor Crawley on that Big Bang Theory episode with the cricket.

......Is this some sort of convoluted attempt at witticism???

[TheColonelKR]

......Is this some sort of convoluted attempt at witticism???

It's a pop culture junkie at work, that's what it is.

[The Chef]

I'll take that as a yes.

[BriGuy92]

Okay, TheColonelKR, I've got a complaint for you. Not because you think you're all that when really you're not. Not even because you're not at all a good writer. My problem, simply, is that you keep on quoting the post that directly precedes your own. Please stop. It's getting on my nerves.

[Godot]

This guy knows what he's talking about. He's on the internet.

[ShadowBrain]

And to think I once thought this thread was going to be just five pages of reasoned discussion on the merits and logistical possibility of a Mario-themed balloon in the Thanksgiving parade.

[The Chef]

To make a long story short: It has a lot of merit and absolutely no possibility whatsoever.

[TheColonelKR]

Okay, TheColonelKR, I've got a complaint for you. Not because you think you're all that when really you're not. Not even because you're not at all a good writer. My problem, simply, is that you keep on quoting the post that directly precedes your own. Please stop. It's getting on my nerves.

I will stop that, but in turn, I need you to stop calling me a bad writer.  I don't like it when you do that.  It hurts me because I want to write stuff for a living.  Even if this is the Internet, remember that words can hurt.

Also, let's face it: you think I'm bad at writing because I didn't give you the kind of movie you wanted.  You got an origin story rather than an "absurdist comedy" (I shudder at the thought).  Determining whether or not I qualify as a writer SOLELY BASED ON WHAT KIND OF STORY I GIVE YOU is no way to judge a written work.  Learn to appreciate that I'm trying to do something nice for you all instead of publically humiliating me at every turn!  Grow up!  All of you!  GROW THE **** UP!

Need I remind you of all my writing-related achievements again?

[BP]

I've got an idea, how about if someone here who can make the trip dresses as Mario and crashes the parade? Think of the YouTube likes!

That's what we're talking about, right? Surely another thread hasn't been hijacked by ColonelKR's ravenous attention receptors and his horrible writing, right??

I hope not!

Again, no more talking about my not writing the story you wanted to read.  I tried to do something nice for you all when I set up my thread, to give you a chance at escapism, but when ALL I EVER GET IN RETURN is stuff like, "You're not doing us justice," it's really just humiliating and enraging.

And I'm through trying to serve Mario fans who never respect what I do for them, which is very selfish and extremely heartbreaking.

[Hello:)]

Dude, let's just stop talking about you. Anyway, that parade thing would be great! Unless ColonelKR directs it.

[ShadowBrain]

GROW THE **** UP!

Has now surpassed "This statement is false" as my favorite paradoxical phrase.

[BP]

He was supposed to say "it has, and don't call me Shirley."

[PaperLuigi]

Oh thank god someone finally banned him.

[Trainman]

Was it just me or did every post he make contain some form of him taking offense to someone's comment and font that was enormous.

[The Chef]

The former definitely, the latter only mostly.

I definitely won't dispute you on the stupid part, but I haven't had "kid" in my username for a bit over a year now.

Once a kid, always a kid.

If that's the case, I'm fine sticking with "Guy."
