One of the funniest animation/gaming related shows on YouTube. Has all the good writing and charm of eleven minute cartoon episodes, mixed in with memes and well developed stories. Mario is the protagonist, and the whole thing is like an AU of Super Mario. He hangs out in Peach's castle with his best friend SMG4 and all the people he's friends with.

There's no limit on where they'll go, leaving some room for hilarious stories. A random search for some spaghetti and meatballs can become a quest to save the universe. Running out of milk leads to a gunfight with cows on a farm. Mario's stupidity knows no bounds. And all his friends are hilarious. SMG4's quest for meme gold, Bob's selfishness and his rap career, Boopkin's obsession with anime, Meggy's quest to overcome the difficulties put on her life by things out of her control, all great stories and arcs that range from funny to actually wholesome and touching.

Best dang Mario cartoon I've ever seen. It should be noted that these guys have mastered the eleven minute cartoon format, the pacing is always so good and there's a guaranteed laugh or two a minute. Good editing, timing, etc. Just a good time for anyone looking for some laughter and some brain cells to kill. Good show.

When i was a litlle kid i loved to watch smg4, i remember laughing alot, but time has past and i now see that the content of the channel has changed and alot, firat of all, the newer ARCs aren't funny the team behind SMG4 makes you like a character and then kill him with a super BAD script.

Tbh i find the older ARCs better than the newer, they were funny tho, now the newer episodes are just the characters doing some random things and fighting the CO of nintendo.

SMG4 went in the same direction as Family Guy and The Simpsons, so I think as the shows get older they get less funny, honestly i hope the channel one day can get better than it was on (2014 - 2016)

I must confess that growing up, I heard about this series quite a lot, primarily from my sister. And to be perfectly honest, the first video I actually watched when I finally gave it a try ("The Evilness of Eggman(?)") was the very same episode I stopped watching exactly 35 seconds into it. I genuinely hated it, mainly because of the fact they changed every character's personality from the ones I loved and cherished up until that point. Many years later (when I was 19 years old, to be exact), a different episode popped up in my Youtube application's Recommended section ("We are number one but it's a Waluigi parody"), and I decided to give the show another go. And I was not disappointed whatsoever! It wasn't until a few days later that I found out that this was the same person who had made the video that drove me away from the series in the first instance. But even after finding this out, I was still intrigued, and began watching every episode of SMG4 after this occurred.

Now, I must point out that i wish other people obsessed with the past please just shut up about this show not being good today. It has, in my opinion at least, had a few repeated jokes and episodes, sure, but that's also more or less the whole point of it. Also, 2011-2013 WAS TERRIBLE. All those so-called "jokes" about gay people, racist comments, and otherwise poorly-delivered poop jokes have absolutely no need to be in this show. This is another reason why modern day SMG4 is better than classic, as the characters are slowly but surely learning from the mistakes they made in the past.

One example of this is Luigi in one of the newest episodes at the time of this being written. In "The Weegee Uprising", Luigi recognizes the same beings from "The Luigi Labyrinth" when he tried to take over the world using Weegee dolls. He even says this line in the new episode: "No...Not again! They're back?!" This shows he regrets his actions from back then.

Another example is Meggy in the episode, "There's Something Up with Meggy", where Meggy is trying to cope with having to watch Desti (her former rival-turned-friend) get murdered right in front of her while she could do nothing but watch (which still makes me cry every time i see it). By the end of the episode, Meggy's motivation to fulfill Desti's dying wish is reawakened thanks to Mario, Luigi, and Tari.

My last example I will give (but certainly not the last one to be seen in the show, just look closely and you'll probably notice even more of these examples) is, of course, Super Mario. I legitimately love the fact that even though he spends almost all of his time on screen either eating or making love to spaghetti (or both), Mario has definitely improved his attitude towards his friends and family over the years. A prime example of this is pretty much, at least in my opinion, almost anything involving him and Meggy or him and Luigi (Especially in the case of the latter character). Meggy and Mario definitely got off on the wrong foot in the episode titled, "If Mario Was in...Splatoon". Seriously, that first ever scene with them together where Mario opens the paint can and unwittingly sets Meggy free in the process was a really great way to start off that episode and their overall relationship, especially considering that Mario becomes determined to win Splatfest with Meggy throughout that same episode (and indeed, the rest of the series thus far). And then of course, there's Luigi, Mario's famous younger brother, the second half of the Mario Brothers...and likely the most cowardly human to ever exist in fiction. But all of that aside, Mario actually begins treating Luigi with respect rather than...well, disrespect, especially in more recent years. I honestly cannot STAND the fact that back when I first started binge-watching the show as a whole, Luigi being made fun of by the other characters, even (if not especially) Mario, just because he was "gay" was such a terrible comedy shtick. In my honest opinion, it shouldn't even really be considered a "comedy show" when calling people gay is the goto "joke" of every single episode, as I stated above. However, over time, the creator(s) seemed to realize this fact (whether due to more people entering the creation of the show behind the scenes, or perhaps just that they realized these "jokes" had long overstayed their welcome), and Luigi eventually became much more of an accepted character by the rest of the cast in the series. One thing I especially love is the fact that despite everything Luigi has gone through over the years, ranging anywhere from rejection to cowardice, he definitely redeems himself these days due to brotherly love for his older sibling serving as the basis for the more...insane things he tries. I mean, just watch or even re-watch Mario SAW if you don't believe me.

For the past eleven years, this has been meme central but then it started having a story, and the story is the best part about it, while there is a lot of comedic and iconic moments, it also has it's emotional moments, like axol dying was so emotional and made melony and axol some of the best characters in the show, I would say my favorite character is Bob, he's really funny, every single arc is incredible and I will continue to watch this perfect series until the day I die.

I really like the cast and the way they move episodes along im really surprised that there are many references to other nintendo games it does help have a laugh when im down or bored and the the movies are the best it's very artistic then the usual ragdoll animation they use.and i do have a favorite and thats the character Axol I love seeing this guy when he appears he's very relatable but I was really upset when he died the show just wasn't the same without him 😢😢😢 I hope they bring a new character thats just almost the same as him (I can't think of anything else to add so im going to stop now.

Well, I've never thought I'd say that something like this is actually really good.

The use of memes isn't forceful and is actually really funny at times, partially due to how the show adds a meme to make a standard joke like having hallucinations to give it a charm so people stay engaged. The episodes, even at their worst are still very enjoyable and seeing outlandish concepts with Nintendo characters is a lot of fun.

My main issue with the show is something strange, and is the main reason why I gave the title of the review it's name "the rick and Morty of the internet" and that being when the show focuses on a character it's strange, the recent anime arc has a great deal of development for The character Meggy, which is fine but what made something like The Waluigi arc so entertaining was the less amount of emotional baggage and the absurdity of the arc with smaller bits of character development, such as the therapy session at the end of the arc being satisfying and funny and absurd.

Overall I'm intrigued where this will go and how Lucas and Kevin will pull it off.
