This is gonna end horribly.
- (tires screech) - Knuckles.
Get him, Mario.
Now listen here, mister.
- I don't means no trouble. - Go back into your--
Since when did Knuckles come out of the hood?
I doesn't even have my own console.
We multi-platform, man.
I can't even understand what he's saying.
(air whistles)
Oh. Oh, gosh!
This is some pretty quality animation.
It must be-a Mario.
He just-- he take racing too seriously!
- (laughing) - He takes everything too seriously.
Oh no!
- You mother [bleep], inviting-- - (gasps)
non-Nintendo characters onto my track?!
Holy [bleep]!
He's killing all the non-Nintendo racers.
(Italian accent) Mama mia!
- Is he some kind of racist? - (cracking up)
- (Mario) You're not Nintendo. - Mario's a psychopath!
You're pre-tendo!

Oh, they're ruining my childhood.
Battle of the video games.
Yoshi!
Oh, Yosh--
Oh, Yoshi!

Look at that monkey butt.
Oh, I see butt cheeks.
- 23 years of jumping at barrels-- - No...
23 [bleep]ing years!
Mario, watch your language!
Oh, it's gonna go up the butt.
Here we go. There we go.
It's a banana split.
Ew!
That's really not appropriate.
- Ewww! - (Mario) Luigi!
I'm comin' for you, [bleep].
- (laughs) - No!
Mario Kart: Rated M for Mature.
I've never played this kind of Mario Kart.
(Mario) You like-a to go fast, huh?
(choking)
(frantic screaming)
(chuckling) Oh, god, why am I laughing?
(air whooshes)
(jumping sound effect)
Ooh.
This is the most vulgar thing I've ever seen.
Pokémon reference.
(Ash) All right, I caught it!
Now it's mine and I can force it
- to do whatever I want! - That's the scariest Ash I've ever seen.
- (Ash laughs maniacally) - Oh, no! That's even scarier!
(laughing) God, no!
Uh...Mario, stop!
Wait, why are you killing Luigi?
I have no brother.
(Luigi gags)
Damn.
- Mario! - What is that?
- Oh, [Bleep], it's Kratos! - Oh, Kratos?
You PlayStation characters never learn!
No, not Crash!
(groaning)
Oh, get him, God of War.
Oh, no! My favorite character, Toad!
Toad, be strong!
Toad...he's my favorite.
I've always wonder if you could eat Toad and grow in size.
Come on, Kratos. You can do it.
Triangle, triangle. Circle!
QuickTime event humor.

Kratos does get all the action.

I have felt many emotions during that.
That was great.

(Finebros) So what is the first word that comes to your mind
- after watching that? - Obscene.
Brutal.
Chaotic.
Horrifying.
Dark!
Appalled!
Amazeballs.
Beh!
Is that a word?
(Finebros) Tells us, when it first started, what you thought
the video was gonna be and then what happened.
I thought it might have been a commercial.
I was hoping it was gonna be a retro video game coming out.
I thought, "Oh, this is familiar. I played this as a child."
You thought this was Mario, but surprise! It's not.
Well, I'm very used to YouTube, so any time I see that style
of animation I know [bleep] is gonna go down.
I have a Newgrounder.
I know how those animations end.
(Finebros) A lot of people say this is very offensive.
Did you find it offensive?
I don't get offended by anything.
But I felt offended for others.
No, I wasn't offended by it.
No, I'm not easily offended.
It could be offensive, like, if you're a grandma.
I don't know what it says about my sense of humor,
but I get a big kick out of seeing stuff that shocks me.
It's not offensive. It's just, "Why?"
It's like if I took a kid on the street and beat him up
to see people's reactions, it's like-- what're you trying to prove there?
(Finebros) What part do you feel went too far?
I would say the stereotyping.
The use of the N-word.
Princess Peach, she had a black eye.
Possibly the banana.
Banana and the monkey butt.
Poop stains on the banana that have come out of Donkey Kong's mouth.
That was the part where I was like, "Okay, now that's gross."
(Finebros) So we're gonna see who in this episode
can get closest without going over.
How many views do you think this video has?
Ooh, good, a game. Okay...
So the Price Is Right again here?
1.2 million.
1.6 million.
Two million views!
2.1 million.
2.4.
Five.
Eight million.
12 million views.
17 million.
I'm gonna say, like, 20 million.
- Really? - Yeah.
22 million.
46 million.
(buzzer)
38,752,809.
- (ding) - ♪ (victorious music) ♪
(Finebros) It actually has over 40 million views.
Whoa, when did that happen?
Holy [bleep].
I'm glad Team Internet is enjoying it as much as I did.
- (Finebros) And over 200,000 likes. - What?!
Really?
People are awful.
(Finebros) Why would this Mario video have that many views?
I don't know! It's the Internet.
It's offensive, but it's also hilarious.
It's so extreme you have to show it to other people.
It's got the classic formula:
The mash up of video game characters across multiple genres,
which is also a hit machine, as we know.
We've kind of cashed in on the "take characters people know
and do something cool with them."
That's what this video is doing as well.
It's like when people watch anime porn.
You wanna see what you always imagine, but never actually happen.
They probably love Mario Kart and this is the version
they wish they could play.
(Finebros) What do you think of the guys who made this?
They're messed up.
They're a sick, twisted genius!
I'd have a beer with them, I guess!
I think that they have a really funny sense of humor.
I think I would like them.
I think they're awesome.
I hope that their channel is chock full of things just like this.
Everyone's probably like, "Oh, they're so demented."
- Nah, I bet they're just hilarious. - Just like the South Park creators.
(Finebros) Animation's always been hugely popular on the Internet.
Why do you think that is?
'Cause it appeals to everyone.
- Who doesn't like cartoons? - Who doesn't like cartoons?
We're all hardwired from childhood to watch cartoons.
I like animation because it's not real life,
and it's a lot cooler than real life.
There's no rules, there's no restrictions at all.
It's also so far removed, so they can do crazy, crazy things
and it's okay because it's a cartoon.
You can also do things in animation
that really stretch what the source material is.
My most viewed stuff is all animated, so I can very much attest to this.
(Finebros) There's people who say content like this is an issue on YouTube
because there currently isn't a system that could warn viewers
of what type of video they're about to watch.
Do you think YouTube should change that in the future or no?
They just need to have PG, R.
Maybe a little rating system in the front for parents out there.
It should be the parent's responsibility to monitor what their kid is doing.
YouTube has an age gate, so if people are really offended
they can flag it.
It's a tough system.
YouTube is operating at such a huge scale that it's impossible
to moderate on their end.
I know there's definitely things I've seen on the Internet in general
that I wish I hadn't seen.
You still can click on whatever you want. The choice is yours.
But I think a ratings system is something that would be beneficial.
Kids at a really young age know how to access YouTube now
and search for a bunch of things.
I have a nephew and he plays Mario Kart,
so I can only imagine if he were to watch it like,
"(squeaky voice) Oh my god!
(disturbed) Oh my god!"
(Finebros) So, finally, what do you think about the world
and YouTube that this video would be one of the most viral videos
- in the last year? - That's just upsetting.
There's so much good content on YouTube
and this is the most popular?
The world's weird and we just have to accept it.
But that was really weird.
That animation probably took somewhere in the range of three months.
He should get more views.
I'm the type of person who's gonna go home and watch
that ten more times, so I feel like it's just right in my wheelhouse.
It was awesome.
There's a lot of things that goes viral.
There's things that have a bunch of merit and then there's things like this.
- Right. - They're just stupid.
Which is fine.
(in tandem) You like what you like.
(laughter)
