Pedro is meant to be Mario.

@Boncomics Facts

You mean "MaRRRio"!

Ong

based

Either him or Charles Martinet

Whoever took advantage of Pedro coming on the show to do this skit—you absolutely killed it.

I'm just blown away by the production value of this sketch. It had to have been at least half of the entire episode's weekly budget.

“Names yoshi. I’m bisexual!” “Names Toad. Also, I’m bisexual” This entire skit was gold

@Ano Nymus they're not making fun of them for having queer characters, they're calling out the stupidity of just randomly slapping a new label on characters to increase diversity without giving them meaningful connections to their sexuality

I'm surprised SNL actually dared to make some light fun of Hollywood's virtue signaling pandemic. And that Pascal signed off for it.

Should have just made them both transgender at this point.

@Alex and @cesar gracias a todos

@Philipp Nochevski Sometimes when shows try to make a person seem more "deep" or "layered" they will make them bisexual or gay. Its a commonly used trope to make a characters identity revolve solely around them being gay or bi or something like that. I mean, please have queer characters, but let them have other characteristics as well I think thats what they were making fun of

The part about the cloud guy using a fishing pole to put you back on the track had me bawling. This was so well done.

Lakitu! ☁️ 🎣 🏁

Okay, but now I want a fully fledged movie of Pedro Pascal as Mario... 😂

I love how the goombas weren’t really designed to look scarier, and instead they just used their original design, which is honestly more funny.

Let’s take a second to appreciate the insanely high production values this 3 min comedy sketch has. The amount of work put here is insane!

true

No joke though!! My first thought haha

Let's take a second to acknowledge that it could have been but wasn't even a little funny

nah

the soul, patience ignorance, dream, arrogance fear, close-minded, work success days years graduation, law power glory, festival soldier, self-deception, use the mind to think, use reason so you can live for yourself and remember your problems

I love Toad’s helmet. It perfectly makes sense for the sketch and for turning Toad human. I want some costume designer out there to feel proud of that 😍

"You can dodge it" "No... it's red" *embraces death* This killed me.

The best part!😂

No it killed toad

@orijimi true! Imagine if they turned it into a “diving into the path of a bullet” sequence with him boosting in front of them 😂😂😂

​@EndorkHe would need to be in front, and far away from Mario and Peach.

The audience was so quiet too!

If this version of Mario were made a whole-night movie I would go to the cinema at least three times just to make sure the makers and actors understand how desperately we need this! Thanks for this unforgettable sketch for everyone involved!!! ♥

I know it’s a skit but I would absolutely pay to watch this in theaters. I need Pedro as Mario.

Pedro is a treasure. Best SNL in a long time. 🤣

“You can dodge it” “No.. its red..” Truly one of the saddest moments in snl history😔

I think it would've been better if Mario/Pedro said "No, it's a Blue Shell!!!" And then Toad pulls the "Witness Me!" And overtakes Mario at the last second. But I'm a dork!

Pedro delivered in every skit! One of the best SNL episodes in a very long time. ❤

I thought this sketch was very well made and great production value, like wow they went all out for just a 3 minute sketch lol. Very impressive and hope it gets some awards attention.

Why do I kinda want this to be a real thing?!? I honestly would spend my money to see this!

Same

Glad to see there are some talented writers still left on SNL

Pedro Pascal delivering the most brooding and serious "It's-a-me" is not something I knew I needed in my life

and the lets a go

And the slight metallic _cling_ when she put the coin down — I rewound "It'sa me..." three times before I saw the rest of the video❣

You need that? Cringe

@Laura they both have their merits

Can we get this as an actual show? Surely I can't be alone in wanting this.

This was fantastic, literally had me in tears and I would 100% see this in theatres 😂

Pedro is genuinely good at comedic acting which shows his incredible and impressive range

I believe Mikey Day wrote this. I’m forever impressed by the skits he writes.

I love how he talks about lakitu resetting your cart like its the most traumatic thing he's ever seen

The acceptance of the red shell is the most realistic thing about this trailer

So true

@Lonnie Phillips Exactly! 100% agree.

@Aaron Shorts I will go out on a limb here and say it … Super NES had the hands down best Mario Kart ever …. Yeah I said it . I would literally stay up alll night playin that shit and turn my tv off and act like I was sleeping 5 min b4 my mom would come to get me up from school lol For all the haters about to molest this comment just know Facts don’t care about you’re feelings lol

@jessicaepage r/whoosh

I want this as a movie. This, my friends, I would watch in theaters.

I want this as a real movie

Loved this! We need more! Just make sure the cast stays the same, Pedro was the perfect Mario!

Honestly would love to see this made into a full length feature film. It looks awesome!

SNL outdid themselves with this one! Awesome!

Hearing Pedro Pascal say "It's a me, Mario" was worth it alone.

Yeah

Oh, I thought that was Alec Baldwin

Dude I lost it

Was worth what, the visit to SNL?

@Mugiwara Arts chris gonna kill it

I've watched this so many times it simply does not get old. Nailed this!

Same 12th view

If they made this into a movie, I'd pay money for this comedic gold!

Now this is a movie I'd watch lol

I would totally watch the full TV series 😂

I would actually watch this if its a real movie 🍿 😊

The part with Toad resigning himself to his fate after seeing it's a red shell coming for him is 1,000% accurate.

hes also a bisexual

@J Luke Hypernova so that happened to you too huh yes you cannot Dodge a red show but if you have item you would unfortunately toad who gets killed and kidnapped by other enemies smart and away but this One race he cannot win😎💯

@MrSpade5150 not true shockwave saves you from a blue shell

The blue shell:

I love how 1/2 the comments are, "Actually, you can dodge the red shell by doing this..." In this mad, dystopian Mario World, you don't dodge the red shell.

Love it! I am glad Pedro has enough of a sense of humor to take this way to seriously which is what makes it so funny!!

Why is this more accurate than the 80s movie

Actual fans were involved and it wasn't a money grab.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life!! And makes me love Pedro pascal even more!! 🤣🤣❤️❤️ “let’s, a go!””

i actually want to see this is as a series/movie and i need to see how it ends

I’m surprised how well made this is haha. Good job guys.

The art direction on this has no reason to be this good. This deserves an Emmy.

@Bodacious117 ROTFLOL, having zero knowledge of how CGI works got you salty, kiddo? Ok baby, back you go to playing CoD on daddy's PS5.

@Evrain Brandigan ok Karen

@Bodacious117 hate to break the news to you, but that kind of CGI is not exactly cheap...

@Rah Rah 👏👏👏

​@Bodacious117 Dude, it's a 5 minute parody with the budget of a late night TV show and they did it in maybe a week or two at most. Maybe next time, don't act like such a snob.

Still hoping someday this will get made into a full length movie. 🔥

The way I would unironically watch a whole season of this 🤣🤣

This was a masterpiece, well done all involved!

I would unironically watch this.

this unironically looks like a good show i would definitely watch it

Can we give a round of applause for the fx team on this? They went way above and beyond for what is an SNL skit, kudos.

Honestly this skit was way too good! I freakin loved it. I wish they would release it without the audience in the background. even half way through it, people kinda stopped laughing and took it serious lol, I want this!

@hawk 7886 Actually I can see where you’re coming from now, it’s kind of like the jerk you see analyse minor youtube comments because their lives are so empty.

@Samuel Serridge you've never seen a generic high school movie where the jerk kid nobody likes interrupts an emotional moment and says, "come on everybody, let's give them a round of applause"? Or even better: the slow clap

Makes a better DC film already.

The only good and omnipotent God created an infinite world. Here in this world is where you learn suffering as an initiation. In these next worlds you will live pain free.

So damn good. If this reaches a billion views. Someone out there is going to make this a reality and turn it into a series.

I vote that he comes back and they make a trailer part 2 at least... I am low key obsessed with how good this trailer is... speaks to good acting and good writing lol

Ok here's the thing... this is high key so much cooler than the actual super mario movie. If they actually made this, can't say it wouldn't hit.

If this was a real show, I'd definitely watch it even if it was very corny 🤣🤣

Every part of this production is so well done

Honestly if this were a movie I’d watch it

This is unironically one of the funniest bits they've done in years. I guess Pedro can play anyone convincingly 🤣

The whole episode was quite hilarious. Good sketches combined with Pedro Pascal’s laid back, cool and humorous talent. But yes, this “Mario” trailer production was exceptionally good (and too funny too).

Y’all say that every time.

Geo

Please watch the joker movie parody with David harbor if you like this

I love how this still isn’t as dark and dramatic as the original Mario Bros movie. 😆

This needs to be a real movie

I’d watch this if it was a movie

I would 100% watch that series 🤣

i would love to watch a full length movie of this! lol

I never in my wildest dreams imagined Pedro Pascal in full costume and a dead serious voice say “It’s a me, Mario”

His delivery killed me!

I imagined it, only once or twice though.

@Mista Keez Legend

@Seffi Shestopal 1

This is one of the best SNL skits in recent history

Still love this after watching it lots of time. 😂

I can't help but feel it would've turned out better than the current live action version that we DO have.

This needs to be a series with different tracks being different episodes! I would watch the crap out of this!!!

Pedro Pascal, giving me hope for the future in everything he does lol

Honestly Pedro Pascal as Mario is actually pretty good casting.

@RC 591 And that’s why there’s so many dilldos on his jock in a snl comment section lol it’s almost unbearable but I can’t stop reading this shit lol

@Silas Hurd This is the type of dude when he talks … you just want to immediately punch in the face.. the type that puts their 2 cents in every .5 second and everyone just kinda looks at one another lie wtf is this guys deal … ?

@ItsMcDude Ty , I mean am I the only one that’s got enough balls to say Star Lord was by far one of the best Characters in the Marvel Universe?? I deff don’t think he’s a shit actor by any mean’s especially when you have Edward Cullen trying to follow Christian Bale as Batman and some of the other hot dumpster fires full of bum piss and shit they call movies these days..

@Canais Young because he’s not desperate for work and knew the Mario movie was a god awful idea.

I would gladly watch this on HBO.

Man I would love if they really made this haha

Can we please get a actual tv show or movie like this. I would absolutely watch it!

Honestly I'd watch this as a full length feature.

This has got to be the most researched, meticulously produced SNL sketch I've seen probably ever.

@FROPI thank you, I am glad someone else noticed, you could get most of that research done by looking at the package the game came in 🤣🤣🤣

No Papyrus rules them all

Dramatic voice: They didn't need to research... they lived it.

This one is definitely good but I still think the parody they did for Oscar the Grouch as the Joker is better.

I was howling at that bit 🤣

This 3 min skit is far better than the entire 93 Mario film

"I'm Yoshi. I'm Bisexual" "Yeah, this ain't it" LMAO

First time ive laughed at snl since celebrity jeapardy😂

Lmao but why does it actually look good?? 😂 Pedro absolutely pulls it off

This was too awesome! 😆🍄

This has some mad 2000s/ early 2010s Youtube sketch channel energy to it. I love it

I literally just rewatched corridors glitch video and thats exactly it lol

Exactly what I thought, this is straight corridor digital energy

This is basically a smosh parody

I thought the exact same thing.

Mario Warfare

I know this is a joke, but this tells me they could 1000% make an amazing live action Mario film.

Looks better than most of the movies that have come out in the last 3 years, I’m in for this being real…

Pedro just made me giggle all throughout the sketch.

This needs to be a series

I want way more of these!!!

Pedro's gonna have a hell of a year, the Last of Us is a hit, the Mandalorian coming back, his night at SNL was a hit.

@Aaron Edelstein then read the reviews

I’m not so sure about the last of us

@Redrum he's not really even in the Mandalorian anymore, it's almost always the two stuntmen in the suit. He is basically doing voicework for the show now which is good because Last of Us has first dibs on him.

😂😂

@Dan The Animator lmao 😂😂😂

I love it when SNL hits gold, I just hate how rare that is. If they can do more like this, people wouldn't find SNL cringe.

If I was head of a tv or movie studio, I'd definitely be trying to get this made

This NEEDS to be real! We NEED it to be real! :D

I need to see a bad ass Mario show!!

the red shells as actual shells got me big time i goto admit thats funny

Mad props to the overworked art team turning this out so quickly

They better be up for an Emmy for this.

@loboc211 Started on tuesday, shot on friday, finshed by saturday 😁

@SethRadius1 didn't even realize I did it until your reply lmao

@Alex Garbarino I see what you did there

Nah this one was definitely in the pipeline for a while

Would definitely watch the film if it was a real thing 😊

This was probably the best sketch of the season. And all the Pedro Pasal sketches were the best of the season. I'm not even a Pedro Pascal fan. Only episodes that had me humored thus far this season. Thr last few were def hit and miss, but this season has been embarrassing.

This is honestly great. Highest quality thing I've ever seen SNL produce.

Am i wrong to actually want this to be a whole movie?!

And this is now the best SNL skit of all time.

Snl doesn't always make great skits but when they do we get masterpieces like this

!!!!!!

@ForeverDegenerate  If that's the case then I'd agree they nailed it.

@Manly O'Beeferton I see this less of a Comedy and more of an accurate homage to something they love. Basically, I don't think this was meant to be super funny.

A masterpiece? Egh. It was visually impressive, but I chuckled maybe twice. Humour is subjective and all that yeah.

I wish they'd upload them without the godawful laugh track though 😤

I am not a gamer, but these characters are so iconic that even I laughed my butt off during the skit. Pedro is the perfect Mario.

Dark Mario could be truly fantastic as both a game and movie/tv series.

Not gonna lie, I would watch this series 😂

“From the masterful storytellers of the Mario kart series” lol

I just realized that Mario still has the cartoony gloves! This is great
