Mario and Luigi Mug a Cabbie

image

Police in New York are on the lookout for two Italian plumbers dressed in blue overalls and colorful caps who are accused of beating the crap out of a cabbie who drove them to the wrong castle.

Mario and Luigi (surnames unknown) joined two other men for a cab ride home from a Halloween party early on the morning of November 1. At some point during the journey, one of the men reportedly reached into the cabbie's pocket, whereupon he stopped at a gas station and asked his passengers to pay the fare and leave.

Unfortunately for the driver, the hot-blooded duo reacted violently; apparently incensed over once again winding up at the wrong place, they attacked the driver while a third man, dressed in a white tuxedo, looked on. Mario and Luigi wrestled the cabbie to the ground, roughed him up a bit and then ran off with his money.

Police are on the lookout for two mustachioed plumbers with bulbous noses, thick accents, red and green monogrammed caps and a propensity for shouting, "It's-a me!" The public is being warned that while the pair is not believed to be armed, they may attempt to jump onto onlookers from great heights if they're cornered.

Grand theft mario for game of the year

Did anyone else think of the Robot Chicken Episode when they read the title?

No shit, who was the dude in the white tux?

Bwa ha ha ha... Someone got mugged... oh, my sides... Can't stop laughing... Har harr harrr.

This really is a brutal thing and the guys should be punished, but I'm sorry, the entire time this was playing I had the old Super Mario Bros theme playing in my head.

Man, Nintendo's sales are worse than I thought. I thought they were doing well. But if they are pushed to do this, well...

Yes. And boy did I laugh.

Yeah I did.

And nice hoax there.

I certainly did.

Eh...

That's funny and a big cowinkydink

Grand theft auto mushroom kingdoom.

/thread.

OMG computah Gamez An teh Intarweb r ruinning our gr8 nattion!!!!1!

seriously cue the republicans! funny take on a bad drunken crime.

didnt think about robot chicken until i saw the posts. actually was thinking about there will be brawl!

Funny story, gotta feel sorry for the cabbie tho!

Are you kidding?
NYC on Haloween?
That wasn't by far the weirdest thing to happen in this city that night.

I too love robot chicken. So many obvious jokes that were finally capitalized on. The punchline was great too: Yoshi heading into Racoon City.

(raises hand)

This has made my day....kinda.

to be fair I added that noise that happens every time you knock a coin out of a box imaging them kicking/punching.

Also who would've thought with MW2 released the real violence is influenced by games released about 25 years ago.

Also this is tragic.

Me too.

It is obvious they needed the coin to support their mushroom habits. I bet they escaped through a warp zone so the trail has probably gone long cold. If they are in the Mushroom Kingdom, extradition will be impossible. I guess this crime will go unresovled.

They figured out the cab driver was working for Bowser all a long.

Must... not.. laugh...
Mugging is serious, msun't laugh...

*Insert laughter here*

I almost thought this was real for a sec, i.e some guys had dressed up as Mario and Luigi and beat some cabbie down when he dropped them at the wrong place.

I guess discovering that the princess wasn't there again final made them snap.

This is a completely new angle for the characters.

GTA:mario much?

Coolsomeness

This made me think of There Will Be Brawl. Maybe the cabbie dressed as Wario for Halloween?

Maybe they thought the cabbie had a Ba-Bomb in his pocket?

ROFLLMAO...for real?

I wanna see a mugger dressed as the TF2 spy saying "Drop your weapons and walk away."

This...Is...WIN!

In all seriousness, Luig was the mastermind. That fat shit Mario was just an underling.

Get me my mushrooms, NOW! :P

Those damn Mario Bros. are a menace to society, I tell you what.

We need these platforming stars off of the streets. Did you see what Sonic did last week? He robbed a bank. What's next?

The man in a white Tuxedo bit reminds me of Nick from L4D2. If this was Valve and Nintendo advertising together it would be the greatest thing ever.

It seems like the costumes would actually make fairly good disguises since neither one of the two will probably be wearing a similar outfit again for at least a year and the caps would obscure their faces. Still, imagine getting your mug shot in a Mario costume.

"Princess Peach was unavailable to comment, But Bowser had this to say: 'See! It's like I've been saying for years. I'm not the (expletive deleted) bad guy, here.'"
