Krmit the Frog Funny Faces Cute Mario

Cute Mario Bros. is a plush and puppet webseries created by Tyler Zannon aka MarioMario8989 and Kenny "Ricky" Hawksworth aka LuigiMario112, that ran between 2006 and 2020. It features toy versions of Mario and Luigi (Mario as a plastic figure and Luigi as a plush) going on random and guaranteed hilarious adventures. The premise originally was very much just playtime recorded on camera, using other characters from different franchises, most notably Jack Skellington, Kermit the Frog and Gonzo (who were both villains, although Kermit reformed), Pikachu, and Mickey Mouse himself. Original characters played by Tyler and Ricky themselves were EHH Guy and YOU! Guy, who were just them in black hoodies who served as hilariously incompetent Psychos for Hire.

It is known for pioneering the Mario plush-themed video genre, being one of the longest series in the genre, and predating the more iconic and popular creator of plush videos SuperMarioLogan aka Logan Thirtyacre.

Tropes appearing in this series:

• Adaptational Jerkass: Mario is depicted as a selfless, heroic big good in the games. In the Cute Mario Bros series, he's portrayed as a selfish jerk.

  • Don't EVER get Mario a fruitcake for Christmas.
  • The E.T. video game is also one for Mario, as he gets angry and smashes the cartridge with a hammer after playing it.
