Bob Odenkirk recently showcased his playful dark humor during an interview, jokingly threatening to take down Nintendo’s beloved plumber, Mario. The Better Call Saul star, known for his sharp wit, delivered a hilariously over-the-top rant about how he’d dismantle the iconic video game character, complete with vivid descriptions of violence involving Mario’s mustache and swimming goggles.
While promoting Nobody 2, his upcoming action sequel, Odenkirk participated in a lighthearted segment where he assessed whether he could defeat various fictional characters in combat. His response to Mario was anything but diplomatic. “I’ll tear that mustache off his face, shove it down his throat, smash his goggles, and stab him with the pieces,” he declared with mock intensity. The actor even singled out Mario’s cheerful grin as a source of irritation, calling it “too innocent” for his liking.
The bit didn’t stop there. Odenkirk went on to humorously threaten The Brady Bunch and Alvin and the Chipmunks, though he spared Home Alone’s Kevin McAllister, perhaps recognizing the kid’s knack for creative retaliation. Nintendo has remained silent on the matter, leaving fans to wonder if Mario’s legal team is preparing a counterattack, or if they’re just laughing along with the joke.
Known for blending deadpan delivery with absurdity, Odenkirk’s rant was clearly in good fun, proving once again that even Hollywood’s most polished stars enjoy letting loose with a little fictional mayhem. Whether Mario should start watching his back, however, remains up for debate.
