Shiitake head is the best insult I've heard in a long time.

[@noahjohnston9958]

If I were in charge of a Mario cartoon, that would definitely be something Bowser would say. XD

Other than the one magalor said in the song where he fought a tree he said"ALRIGHT YOU TYRANNICAL TIARA"

Greatest car insurance ad I've listened to. I really admire the dedication Juno has to perfectly recreating the melody, even with Bowser's scratchy, growly voice. The low notes are impressively clear as well, even with how rough Bowser's growl is. Great delivery all round to back up the fun lyrics. Also, Juno replayed the level four times with four different characters just to get all the footage. Mad lad. Finally, "Vehicular manslaughter is the play" is one of the Juno Bowser Lyric Song Lines of All Time. That one's going up there next to "fish stick fish stick fish stick fish stick".

[@eshan-does]
