A Very Wordy Hero
Click here to zoom!

For a guy who doesn’t tend to say to much, Mario is rockin’ the wordplay in this original piece of art by my pal Josh Mirman! (Also a neat gray version here!) [via 4 color rebellion]

    Word.

  2. ZegenRuki on December 5th, 2010 3:43 am

    It doesn't get more awesome than that… Unless Word-Mario was fighting a Word-Bowser!

  3. TheTopHatKid on December 5th, 2010 4:05 am

    Bird.

  4. Coodoo on December 5th, 2010 4:10 am

    Pffft! Absurd…

  5. Jet_Sparrow on December 5th, 2010 4:25 am

    Spread the word! Or is that Word-Peach?

  6. ExplainTheJoke on December 5th, 2010 4:26 am

    Oh, how dirty.

  7. Yoshi_Dino on December 5th, 2010 4:27 am

    Now that's a fight I would be willing to watch,especially if it was on a word-airship with epic word-explosions!

  8. VyseRogueKing on December 5th, 2010 4:34 am

    He also tried to make one for that green guy but kept coming up with Link and just gave up

  9. Fission on December 5th, 2010 4:42 am

    Haven't you heard?

  10. Arch_Evil_Angel on December 5th, 2010 4:47 am

    This is, in a word, epic.

  11. rory_m on December 5th, 2010 5:09 am

    You took the words right out of my mouth

  13. Da_Noob on December 5th, 2010 5:47 am

    What, the word?

  14. Totema on December 5th, 2010 5:51 am

    Word, word, word?

  15. Hejiru on December 5th, 2010 6:03 am

    They say a picture's worth a thousand words.

    Michael Bay presents a Michael Bay production: WORDSPLOSIONS! Coming to a theater near you!

  17. TCC on December 5th, 2010 6:11 am

    The link version I saw was a lot less impressive. The entire lower body was nothing but yelling…

  18. YourPalHal on December 5th, 2010 6:21 am

  22. GullibleGregory on December 5th, 2010 6:37 am

    Mario Teaches Typing? I love that game! Could never get past world 3 though…

  23. GullibleGregory on December 5th, 2010 6:40 am

    Replying to his post with an identical post? that's unheard (of)

  24. Jerenator on December 5th, 2010 6:50 am

    Turd?

  25. Jerenator on December 5th, 2010 6:52 am

    Epic explosions?
    In a Mario game?

  26. Tael on December 5th, 2010 7:00 am

    I imagine if this particular Mario used a hammer, it would be the ultimate Grammar Hammer.

    It's more likely than you'd think.

  29. Hejiru on December 5th, 2010 8:17 am

    And here I thought Mario was a man of few words.

  30. GraveZombie on December 5th, 2010 8:36 am

    Curd.

  31. shonen413 on December 5th, 2010 9:55 am

    This whole reply line deserse a +1…Concurred

  32. ZenDragoon on December 5th, 2010 9:59 am

    Dang….could've been funny if my response was…third.

  33. Ilikmudkips on December 5th, 2010 10:05 am

    What green guy?

  34. AbrohamLincoln on December 5th, 2010 10:15 am

    I can't think of anything witty to say about this. You have won, TCC.

  35. TheKingOfGraves on December 5th, 2010 10:24 am

    I don't think it would, given Halolz's hate for those sort of number posts, or so I've… heard.

  36. zeldafan8 on December 5th, 2010 10:26 am

    So in correspondance to such a saying, this picture made of words appears to be worth over nine-thousand words!

  37. zeldafan8 on December 5th, 2010 10:29 am

    Oh I c what u did thar.

  38. zeldafan8 on December 5th, 2010 10:36 am

    Yeah, it's hard to get those words right. Jumping on one's keyboard does not tend to suppy very accurate words.

  39. Shatman on December 5th, 2010 10:36 am

    MAGIC. FLOATING. MOUSTACHE.

  40. Arch_Evil_Angel on December 5th, 2010 11:31 am

    I guess you could say the artist…
    *Puts on sunglasses*
    is a real wordsmith.
    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

  41. ryu2622 on December 5th, 2010 11:32 am

    CCCCCC-COMBO BREAKER

    Sorry, it had to be done. This post was becoming quite… absurd

  42. Hejiru on December 5th, 2010 11:57 am

    HYAAAH?!

    Translation: (Really?!)

    …WTF how do my posts keep vanishing…

  43. NoChorus on December 5th, 2010 12:08 pm

    Here's another influential wordy person.

    You could say he's a man of his word.

  44. Mr Plen on December 5th, 2010 12:10 pm

    I'll try to end this sentence with a… verb.

  45. UndeadLex on December 5th, 2010 1:11 pm

    Turtle Shells Cake Super Shine Get should be the name of the next Mario title.

  46. Deep Thought on December 5th, 2010 1:47 pm

    What! Nine Thousand?!?

  47. Alpar on December 5th, 2010 1:51 pm

    Does anyone here watch Phineas and Ferb?

  48. Alpar on December 5th, 2010 1:51 pm

    :U

  49. 3K9 on December 5th, 2010 2:08 pm

    mah bird!

  50. Barry Allen on December 5th, 2010 2:15 pm

    Yoshi of course!

  51. Barry Allen on December 5th, 2010 2:16 pm

    B!rd

  52. BoxeyBrown on December 5th, 2010 2:26 pm

    N3rd

  53. Illius_Nakarou on December 5th, 2010 2:28 pm

    WORD!
    lol

  54. BoxeyBrown on December 5th, 2010 2:28 pm

    There's no way that can be right!

  55. Yoshi_Dino on December 5th, 2010 2:41 pm

    You rang?

  56. Jimmy on December 5th, 2010 3:11 pm

    Along with the rest of your vital organs…wait, how'd you make it this far?

  57. Jimmy on December 5th, 2010 3:11 pm

    3D Mario scared the piss out of me…

  58. Jade Catima on December 5th, 2010 3:16 pm

    Looks like to this comment chain I've… deferred.

  59. Yoshi_Dino on December 5th, 2010 3:20 pm

    you seem so assured.

  60. KamikazeGible on December 5th, 2010 3:25 pm

    You can see Princess is written in his boot.
    Make of that what you will.

  61. Alpar on December 5th, 2010 3:47 pm

    Everyone be quiet or I'll send in a Zerg.

  62. Yoshi_Dino on December 5th, 2010 3:50 pm

    my someone sounds perturbed.

  63. GraveZombie on December 5th, 2010 3:55 pm

    Don't be so assured.

  64. Sir_Nox on December 5th, 2010 4:07 pm

    I'm going to MURDer the next peron who posts something ending with the "ird."

  65. Sir_Nox on December 5th, 2010 4:08 pm

    I can see this being turned into a rap.

  66. DM1293 on December 5th, 2010 6:27 pm

    Whats a peron? I sir am a Caird.

  67. TehVortex on December 5th, 2010 6:47 pm

    Personally I like Super Mario Mushroom Gorilla Chaser World

  68. TehVortex on December 5th, 2010 6:51 pm

    You figure this is how they learn English at Mushroom Kingdom Elementary School?

  69. AuraMaster on December 5th, 2010 7:00 pm

    I didn't hear what he murmured.

  70. AuraMaster on December 5th, 2010 7:02 pm

    The artist needs to be hit with one; he put "mustace" instead of "mustache" on the edge of Mario's left glove.

  71. AuraMaster on December 5th, 2010 7:03 pm

    CAN IIIIT?!

  72. AuraMaster on December 5th, 2010 7:08 pm

    Someone made it a lot rel="nofollow">scarier.

  73. Alpar on December 5th, 2010 7:24 pm

    Hudda hudda hurd.

  74. TheKingOfGraves on December 5th, 2010 7:43 pm

    No… It was a man dressed all in green, whose name escapes me… I remember him having a mansion, but I don't think it was Spencer (given that it wasn't Ace who invited me over and that nothing tried to bite/mate with me, only haunt me).

  75. BoxeyBrown on December 5th, 2010 7:57 pm

    He's got to train his stomping abilities somehow in his off time…

  76. zeldafan8 on December 5th, 2010 10:15 pm

    The size of these boxes is becoming absurd!

  77. EJade on December 5th, 2010 10:31 pm

    if this were a shirt, I'd totally wear it.

  78. Jade Catima on December 5th, 2010 11:03 pm

    Soon all we'll be able to see is one word!

  79. MasterLuigi452 on December 5th, 2010 11:47 pm

    I tought this was high school.

  80. MasterLuigi452 on December 5th, 2010 11:48 pm

    If it was Luigi, the words are going to be like: who is that? green guy? link? no attention, and etc.

  81. CapnRegi on December 5th, 2010 11:55 pm

    Gordon Freeman was originally going to be the subject of the artwork, but it was hard to narrow down his best lines.

  82. Daifuku on December 6th, 2010 12:09 am

    Once you see it, you will know it's a lie.

  83. Da_Noob on December 6th, 2010 1:10 am

    I know, my dear sir

  84. BasketGT on December 6th, 2010 3:01 am

    Damn, I posted this before work, and come back to this comment herd!

  85. 3K9 on December 6th, 2010 4:17 am

  86. Da_Noob on December 6th, 2010 6:33 am

  88. Daifuku on December 6th, 2010 8:00 am
