As a spanish man I can confirm all of this as real (I'm not italian but our languages somewhat sound similar so I am qualified to speak on their behalf)

[@andrews.5212]

Also everybody know that only mexicans are allows to wear mustaches! So Mario wearing mustaches is CULTURALLY APPROPRIATING the 'stache! xD

[@nullgravity2583]

As a birthing person without a uterus who found out about Italy from the internet question "pineapple on pizza or not?", I can confirm.

[@Cottor_OwO]

As a Russian that speaks neither Spanish or Italian and has been to both countries only once I approve your confirmation.

[@ArwenUndomiel406]

“Oh. Do I sound like an SJW or am I being antisemitic? I can’t tell anymore.” I cracked. 🤣

[@Nosceres]

I cannot tell either. I met an SJW once, and he was most DEFINATELY a rich raging antisemite from New York who was born into a wealthy family and was very wealthy himself.

[@sariahd5083]

The sarcasm is strong with this one.

[@nathancrever5161]

Satire is amazing.

[@yeoldoak7386]

Satire?!? These are facts

[@mace-1911]

Mario is an Italian and made in Japan that's like 2/3 of the axis powers already

[@thebronywiking]

Wario was originally designed to be German.

[@el-gonza]

@@thebronywiking En serio?

[@thebronywiking]

@@el-gonza Does that mean: Serious. I only know english and swedish.

You can drive a Mercedes-Benz in Mario Kart. The gang's all there

[@user-rv6cx3rz7t]

​@@thebronywiking "Seriously?"

[@arrielradja5522]

Mario the man vs Mario the idea Everyone knows Mario is cool as fuck. But who knows what he's thinking? Who knows why he crushes turtles? And why do we think about him as fondly as we think of the mystical (nonexistent?) Dr. Pepper? Perchance. I believe it was Kant who said "Experience without theory is blind, but theory without experience is mere intellectual play." Mario exhibits experience by crushing turts all day, but he exhibits theory by stating "Lets-a go!" Keep it up, baby! When Mario leaves his place of safety to stomp a turty, he knows that he may Die. And yet, for a man who can purchase lives with money, a life becomes a mere store of value. A tax that can be paid for, much as a rich man feels any law with a fine is a price. We think of Mario as a hero, but he is simply a one percenter of a more privileged variety. The lifekind. Perchance. (Also pilgrim you watch hetalia?)

[@Seb656]

The perchance gets me every single time 😂

[@larrykoopa64dshacker64]

I don't think of Mario as a hero, the Japanese versions of the games make it feel more clear, though it's a little more complicated than just "Bad guys good, good guys bad" and is *ESPECIALLY* not "Bad guys bad, good guys good" But eh, this is probably a satire video mocking people who don't see him as such... because everyone thinks I'm wrong. EDIT: Yeah, few seconds in and it's already just jokes (admittedly funny) rather than talking about the Toads' behavior toward the minions, and how any "bad guy" is not given a fair chance simply for being what race they are with few exceptions (which are the outlier and not the status quo). Granted in this case, it doesn't seem like it's making fun of my viewpoint, rather, just joking about Mario the character and his creation being racist. EDIT(again): I forgot to check the upload date, it was an April Fools joke, so definitely a joke. Didn't seem to be making fun of my viewpoint, however, just seemed to be joking about Mario's series being racist.

Hold up, i've seen this one somewhere There was a meme exactly like this one

Damn couldn't tell it was AI

[@autobotjedi3457]

Dude I loved this!!! I legit cracked up with the "historical documentary" section!!! Please, don't ever change!!!! Take care, and stay safe

[@Neillius-Crafter]

I thought it was a bit odd that your accent wasn't as pronounced as usual, but I didn't expect ai😅

[@theinquisitionsparrot6749]

I didn’t figure out it was AI. Scary.

[@ahumblepotato9801]

Of course Mario is racist. He just takes racing way too seriously.

[@ironrex6979]

The best April fools I’ve seen today! It was hilarious. Stay safe and Godbless you.

[@kovacsnovak6745]

I can feel my sides go to orbit

[@dances_with_incels]

What if princess peach is like a humanoid female ant and she's only using Mario for his coom so she can make more toads?

[@loomingdeath1758]

why would she need mario when she also has bowser dont be dumb....... she also has luigi XD

[@donkylefernandez4680]

Jesse,

[@whm_w8833]

Couldn’t tell it was voiced by AI.

[@5h0rgunn45]

Love the sarcasm, these types of videos making fun of woke folk don't get old. I noticed about halfway through something was off with the voice. It sounds slightly different... a bit deeper maybe? But mainly it was the near-complete loss of that signature accent of yours. I wouldn't have guessed it was an AI though.

[@MBP1918]

Mario and Luigi are clearly bigots

[@TheGreenKnight500]

I'm so thankful for our white supreme pizza capoopitalist pooptriarchy. Without it, we'd never have Mario games.

[@EvansdiAl]

This is a great example of how something being logic doesn't mean it be true

[@manueldelriogonzalez1117]

I think that this channel and Like Stories of Old are the most underrated KZbin Channels there are

[@H_Eli]

I think it would have been better if you didn't reveal the rouse in the video, you could he been promoted by the left, that would be even funnyer

[@buckarooben7635]

I admit I wasn’t paying my upmost attention to the video, but that ai voice is wild.

[@jcdf2]

Did you really use AI to create the whole video or just the voice element?

[@princeofparmma]

I had thought that one of the lines was delivered very much like the Ai posts (from the Dagoth Ur sub-genre) before you had mentioned it. I did not connect the dots, until explained, but that line stood out.

[@PinkyIvan12]

Couldn't tell it was AI. Sounds just like you.

[@patrickbuckley7259]

I didn't realize it was AI, I thought it was a voice synthesizer. Missed this on April 1st, though it took me like 3 minutes to figure out this was a April Fools Video.

[@sirnilsolav6646]

You were meant to destroy the AI not join them! Bring balance between tech and tradition, not lead one into darkness! 😱😭

[@vagnerleite3879]

That explains how you said everything without laughing

[@oppressedgamer5599]

1:49 LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!

[@larrykoopa64dshacker64]

1:03 That's incorrect, because that is a English localization exclusive thing. They are called Kuribos in Japan. Though what's the point of correcting when I can tell this is entirely a satire video. 3:32 Oh yeah, I forgot to check the upload date, hahah! Yeah, I could tell it was a joke, but I didn't know it was an April Fools joke.

[@theodoremccarthy4438]

Honestly couldn’t tell it was an AI.

[@pajamaninja2157]

while i was watching i did think you sound like an AI but i thought it was something like a new mic or you were doing a weird accent thing trying to sound like an AI.

[@crusader2112]

Hey man great and funny video. Can you do a video on the Orville in the future? No rush.

[@lucasBarjas]

eu não notei q era IA, eu pensei q a estranheza no tom de voz era por causa da ironia do vídeo. muito bom.

[@theinquisitionsparrot6749]

What? Oh. OH. Jesus, AI is terrifying. I hope something is done in the future.

[@tyrlant2189]

The "they fear the samuri" was funny

[@whatsinameme5258]

This is on par with Maulers GDELB videos, in that it actually sounds like a pretentious video essay someone would earnestly make. I could see Game Theory doing this but serious.

[@acyour]

All I am going to say is that if you are worried about a game made in the 80s about some guy blowing flaming snot balls in 2023 you are the issue not the 40 year old game.

[@garianarnold3754]

WHOOSH

Man I only wanted to find a continuation of the Dragonborn’s rest video

its in the works. we're going all out though. it'll take while. but at least we finally started. got the right team for the final part. I'm excited for it actually.

[@bizzy5439]

Wow I couldn't tell it was AI -- I just thought you got better at your English pronunciation. Was that racist? Oh. April Fools, Pilgrim, you saucy Latin man

[@wereitsoeasy189]

Oh.. I thought you were just being sad and dull as part of the skit, no idea it was a AI voice

[@jaegerbomb269]

[@luisserrano5690]

This is clear, well thought out satire.

[@Stefi747]

April fools joke or unironic Vox opinion piece?

[@nicholasleclerc1583]

2:33 Hey, wait, hang on a second : That’s actually a good question, now that you mention it ! And I mean, c’mon, _we all know_ (the historical reasons/legacy as to) why it even was a good pitch of an idea for the game’s developers to have that « some guy saves a princess from a dragon » fundamental concept in the 1st place… Although, yeah, I do agree, these people _are_ rather ludicrous; & good video, my guy; your channel is an amazing gem 😂😂😂😂

[@martinmorales7473]

Really Love your vidoes man keep it up😁👍♥️

[@smallpiper2]

I was wondering where your accent was there for a bit.

[@michaelman957]

The sarcasm is strong with you

[@yiannchrst]

That was AI? I thought you were just talking a bit funny as part of the joke. tbh I said "oh yeah!" after you revealed it, but I wouldn't have noticed hadn't you pointed it out!

[@l0gan295]

Bro went PC principal on super Mario

[@ianfruchey8801]

I noticed your accent had improved but I didn't think it was due to AI 😆. Also the AI sounds like a dude just reading a script. As opposed to your normal cadences and I'd say the thinking or personal connection your voice gives. But hey if AI helps improve your content overall go for it!

[@JonathanGhost42]

We are at the point in which I am unable to know if something is really satire and wait until the end of a video to hear (hopefully) an explanation if it was satire.

I couldn’t tell it was AI.

[@AhidoMikaro]

April First is the most unfunny day.

[@GlenKStraughn]

I suspected the voice over was A.I. because it lacked the accent, but I confess I wasn't 100% sure.

[@carsandsports123]

Damn the AI voice thing is crazy

[@platypipope328]

this video's premise falls apart when you realise italians aren't white and thus mario is a brown (good) coloniser

[@99jean88]

But they are right! Italian unification was a mistake.

[@Grinthex]

The voice sound alot like you, I just thought that you were really good at doing an American accent and it was part of the bit,

[@Ghost_of_Corydon]

Mushroom kingdom is an apartheid state I nearly spat out my beer

[@novitrix9671]

Unfortunately I have to be honest that I could in fact not tell that the video was in part ai, what part speaking script or borh dont know... baboozled to a T well played

[@JudeMichaelPeterson]

Yeah, I was wondering what happened to your voice. Regarding AI, though shalt not suffer a machine to think.

[@metaouroboros6324]

April 1st. Lol

[@agnusdei7697]

Also, I did noticed it was AI, it didn't have your pauses and idiosyncrasies.

[@andrew9371]

It just sounded like you were reading a script

Do You Say That Mario Is Racist? Actually He Beens Racist On Racist Mario The Video!

[@doniel370]

supermensch

[@aaronruppli9233]

my opinion on ai voiced video's, the contents of said videos may somewhat remain but the videos themselves leave no lasting impression nor can I recall any quotable elements that aren't reducible to the base ideas. this ranges to the extreme end (a spiffing brit ai generated video) which I cannot recall a single thing from other than the fleeting notion it was supposedly made wholly by ai, to the much milder AI readings of scripts/texts which I can actually remember moments of and even quote if i rack my noggin. just a pattern I noticed, just like a person can notice the uncanny valley. the implications of noticing is disconcerting to say the least

[@AdrienMelody]

I knew it

[@1lobster]

I hate April 1. Please release a real for real soon! I miss you!

Do you observe April Fools as a holiday?

[@GSeven-yc8gu]

Also in the movie if you look at all the characters they were mostly jew and had superior roles donkey kong was created by someone Japanese and donkey kong rapped, why didnt they have an asian or black man playing the character?

[@CrazyFlyingMonk]

I could tell it was off but it was really go (the voice) i wondered if it was ai but didnt know untill you said it

[@nullgravity2583]

"do i sound like an sjw or anti-semite" loool

[@dawnstarguard9398]

My theories were right…

Had no clue it was AI, also good on you for working in Ukraine

[@andrews.5212]

Depends. It is Northern Italian? Sardinian? Napolitan? If is Northern Italian, is gonna be racist. A LOT. If is Sardinian is okay. Just don't ask about the goats xD If is Neapolitan... well we don't Talk about neapolitan xD (oh Vesuvio pretty please! just once more!) But being from NewYork is probably Sicilian and have some connection with the Mafia.. if you aknow what i amean? Take de Cannoli! Auu facimm ampress. amuni! 'A macchina stta apparata! uaglio!

I know this is a joke but this still pisses me off
