Mario and Luigi Mug a Cabbie


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.

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...

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.

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.

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.
