Do you pronounce it the same way it's pronounced in the movie and cartoons, do you emphasize both syllables or do you have your own way?

"Buh-bomb".

As spelled. BOB-omb.

I pronounce it "bah-Bomb." I also tend to say it with a fair amount of speed.

I've always said it the way BP does, but when I watched the cartoons, a question came to mind; what is the proper pronunciation? Has the word ever been voiced in any of the games or by any other official source?

Kinda like buh-baum.

I also pronounce it like Bird Person does. How is it pronounced in the movies and cartoons?

Also, the best ad placement in a movie ever.

Greatest Bob-omb scene ever!

My first Mario experience was watching my neighbor play Super Mario 64, and he would always say "Bomb-ombs".
Ever since then I have kept to this pronunciation, despite the spelling. It simply sounds strange to me to pronounce it otherwise.

I stick to "Bomb-omb".
