Is it wrong that I actually laughed at this? *giggles*

Obviously, he wanted to keep his overalls on, but his agent had tasked the bellhop with getting Mario into a tuxedo, which he obviously didn't want to wear... cause... you know...

Overalls.

also, the bellhop is one of the guys from the Sonic commercials. you know...the ones where two people are in a car and talking with each other.

also, if you don't have a Sonic in your town...i pity you.

Dang, Mario was really charging down that hallway. They should have had him hold his arms out and added a little deedledeedledeedle whistling sound effect, ala SMB3.

If he is scared of/doesn't want to wear the tux, couldn't they get him a garish red and blue tux? And now we need a tux costume for mario in ssbb.

Nintenboy01 — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 10:58:05 MST

Funny that Mario would be frightened to wear a tux, when he's been in a doctor's outfit, an archaeologist, a bee, raccoon and frog suit, and technically he was already wearing a tux or magician's outfit on the box for Super Mario All-Stars.

That was pretty funny. Doesn't really match the message they're making at the end of the commercial, though.

KillerBee — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 08:10:10 MST

Much like me, I believe the message is Mario's aversion to suits/tuxedos. I told my wife that other than our marriage and my funeral, I doubt there will be a suit donning my fat, gamer ass anywhere in between.

That, or what Dunetiger said.

Anyone in a giant costume of a silly looking character running around from someone in an equally silly outfit and knocking over papers and vases two try and create a barrier would be hilarious.

xRiOT — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 07:26:42 MST

@kjcollins: I have to disagree.

What I got out of the clip is that mario is playing a game with the bellhop. It is a role reversal of sorts.

Mario obviously has no reason to fear his drycleaning and he even pokes his head around the corner at the end to get the bellhop chasing him again. It's all just a game.

Mario is a bloody cheeky plumber.

Don't want to be the party buster here, but...

WHY did he give that tux to dry cleaning when he didn't want to wear it?

Must be second thoughts I guess!

Would be funnier if they said "Mr. Myamoto INSISTS you wear this!"

He can't avoid the overpriced dry cleaning bill, and by accepting the dry cleaning, also accepts to pay the bill.

I think it's a comment on the fact that Mario hasn't really been seen out of his trademark overalls and putting on a tux is just not Noble Plumber. But yeah, it's not funny, but tossing the papers made me laugh.
