When times were simple and KZbin was a golden age of creativity. Rich was a God among channels.

[@SigmaChicken09]

A legend indeed

[@gumslice]

Sounds like an anime backstory

[@RumbleRue]

You speak the truetrue

[@PuritanProdcutions]

To bad there was some “creative differences”

[@Dynamite_1600]

agreed

[@InternetReview]

It’s a real shame that no teen will ever expirence the golden era of KZbin. The amount of effort that was put into making SMB and all the music and skits. The important thing to remember was that barely no money we’re ever made from these. This was just the result of great friends who wanted to have fun and wanted everyone watching to enjoy it aswell. Entertainment will never even come close to the pure greatness the rich alvarez channel presented us ❤️

[@Grand-Blanc]

well note that good friends if you know the history... hehe

[@SamM6599]

Anyone else listening in 2021 or 2022 and wishing for an updated version of this song? God, the nostalgia! I'm mostly here again because I just recently started watching The Boys on Amazon Prime Video, and I got to the part where (no spoilers, don't worry) 3 characters are in a car, and all but the driver are just jamming tf out to We Didn't Start The Fire, so I listened to the original, then listened to Tessa Netting's parody of it that recapped 2020, and then I remembered this one and HAD to listen to it again! Even 12 years later, this is still some of the best content on the entire site!

[@dev655con]

the number of these songs that have been rebooted/remade/re-released since too.

[@chagmenlietons3606]

[@redhawk7812]

Chagmen Lietons (Nurse): You've been in a coma for 9 years. (Me): Oh boy, I can't wait to check how my favorite KZbin series, Stupid Mario Bros, is doing! Jokes aside, thank you Richie and Co. for making my childhood great. I still remember the first episode of SMB that I stumbled upon in my old family living room, on an iPod touch 2nd gen (charging), at around 11pm at night, with a lamp on right next to me. The Stupid Wario Bros episode. That's what hooked me in (although you were already in Season 3, I think). Rambling aside, Thanks again Richie and Co.

[@ShovelheadLR]

13 years and this is still a cinematic and musical masterpiece, belongs in a internet history museum!

This song is STILL stuck in my head after all these years.

[@voltamek]

I was 13 when this came out. I was an extremely online unmonitored internet access kid and was super active in the RichAlvarez forums back in the day. Crazy they did all this for zero monetization and on pre-copyright strike KZbin. Hope Rich, Chris, and everyone in that community is doing good. Sad i fell out when i hit puberty lol

[@jeremyscungio16]

Wario said ass one time with my grandpa nearby and that was the end of watching smb for me

[@Spencerspoofs]

Man I remember the first time watching this I thought this was one of the most clever music parodys I've seen, Years later this video still holds up.

[@SlamTF2]

Seriously I'd love to see this remade with an extra chorus or two with the games released since then.

[@theforestfire8821]

Or three or four

[@grubbsy6046]

one corus needs to be dedicated to the bad games released since then since the industry changed since.

[@PikaLink91]

And a chorus taking the piss out of modern day practices like micro transactions and releasing games half finished.

[@HanselDiarios]

I remember watching the stupid mario brothers series from 2008-2012 until the season finale and it played such a huge part in my childhood! I seen my first stupid mario brothers video when I was 8 years old and I’m 21 now! Revisiting videos like this bring back so much memories, thank you for making such an iconic youtube series!!

[@MasterArtisan99]

I just had a memory unlocked for me.... the good old days 😢

[@Tohbiii]

god i remember when it was like 2009 and i saw this video..i watched it everyday.

[@Enoch_Draven_Hyde]

This song is still so creatively amazing. This brings me back to the good days. Thank you.

[@Enoch_Draven_Hyde]

Today, I made a playlist of songs from internet pop culture that have influenced my mind. This one is on there. Keep up the Rich and Chris content. It's good to hear you both again.

[@The3GTeam]

I'm glad that this video still exist I used to watch this all the time when I was 13 and listening to it now makes me really feel that I had a special childhood

[@WestOfLee100]

I fucking found you, AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I found it.

[@greencaIx]

I remember back when I was 7 going through my Mario phase and I had all these stupid Mario bros songs burned onto a cd I played in the car with my dad, as well as the Mario galaxy soundtrack, the Pokemon themes and other video game music.. good memories man, video game soundtracks played a massive part in my childhood, and have got me to where I am with my passion for music today. Thanks video games :)

[@DarkThunderism]

I'm going crazy inside quarantine. I'm going so insane, I'm rewatching Stupid Mario Bros.

[@Badsauser]

aaaah, the memories... Used to listen this all the time. Youu guys are awesome!!

[@satansashhole8639]

This came out when I was 11 I’m now 22 and I catch myself singing this at work every now and then.

[@arcata6612]

I remember listening to this THE DAY if came out. rich alverez will always be the first real youtuber I ever watched

[@HightimeSadness]

Miss you guys... I miss these years...

[@babymusYT]

bruh i remember being mega little in my even littler cousin’s play room watching this on their parent’s box desktop with their little mario plushies and blanket. brings back memories of being completely unsupervised in a dog shit filled roach nest but boy is it nostalgic

[@flashback170]

God i remember being in 9th grade when this came out, time has flown by.

[@deadNdivine12]

12 years since I last checked this channel.. whoa. Should get around to finishing the episodes of Stupid Mario Bros that I didn't watch.

[@xvx_astridVT_xvx]

12 years still so good

[@ragingenchilada5012]

Man, I used to watch Stupid Mario so religiously when I was younger. It's nice to just remember this song and all the good times LOL

[@Fairy_Covers]

This randomly got stuck in my head, this morning... what a throwback! Makes me feel like a teen, again XD

[@Beatles511]

This channel and these men defined my child hood. I can't remember the countless fights with my brothers to get on the computer to watch stupid mario bros cause we had one computer which we all had to share. Im 24 now. And the memories I was given cause of the amazing content and ppl of richies channel. Will never be the same... hard work, constant filming and creativity like this, hardly exists. I'm glad I grew up with this youtube. The best youtube. .I come back every now and then and it's the same, laughter, intriguing plot, hilarious references ( which I now get lol ) and the commitment you all took to make it in the early days of youtube.

[@Beatles511]

Holy shit! Thanks for the heart Mr. Alvarez!

I remember when i was 13 watching you guys everyday when i got home from school. Idk why this was on my front page but i’ll take it

[@Dataiconroy]

Wow I remember when this was uploaded....Golden Ages...

[@mattomanx77]

The golden age had to be right before this. This was 7th Gen, Golden was 6th.

[@gamerguy425]

Matthew Davis I say fourth was the golden age, but sixth was great too. It suffers from aging not so well depending on the game like the fifth generation especially does, but the ps2 has one of the most massive libraries in gaming history, there are more than a few modern classics.....

[@mattomanx77]

***** Then we can all agree that pretty much everything since games were invented up until a couple months ago was just golden.

[@crbgo9854]

gosh im 27 now still gotta come back to this song i saw it when it first came out.

I always get lyrics stuck in my head sometimes when I hear game titles in regular conversations. Thats how you know this was quality.

[@CthulhuIsReal420]

2023 and still 100% this channel is why I started cosplaying, and my first cosplay was Beardless Mario. I've mentioned that many times on this channel and if rich ever came to a con in around Oklahoma, I'd bring that cosplay to meet him, this series is wayyyyy more responsible for nerdy ass personality and my ability to be my nerdy ass self no matter what people think. As well as helped in my own song parody writing. I'm nothing on KZbin but if you ever want to collab on a random parody, I'd be honored to work you.

I had the biggest crush on Rich. He was the coolest person on the KZbin when college work was just too much to handle! Some of my best times were spent on this channel when I was younger! ❤️ I randomly thought of this song at work last week and was like “yep, better go look up my ‘friend’ Rich.” ❤️

[@splatmaster2007]

I'm so glad this song was made and that it gets stuck in your head so easily. I've completely grown out of this as I imagine most people in the comments have but this song is the one thing that still brings me back to when I used to watch these videos with my cousin when I was 10.

[@TheCommentatorguy]

Soon to be a decade old, and this has to be one of the best parody songs I've heard in a while. Throw backssssss

I feel young again (only 16 years old). This song is so true to me. Also read the transcript it is so funny e.g 0:43 Mario done likes you laid to lawn. What the hell, but that's just something I had found & it ain't bad.

The history of video games in 2008 gave such an optimistic look to the future. Everything was truly getting greater and brighter back then
