Friday Classic Video: Super Mario Bros. Is Frustrating

Anyone who played Super Mario Bros. (the original on Nintendo, that is) knows that sometimes during the game, you'd encounter a particularly frustrating part. Once you were good enough -- and if you knew where all the warp zones were -- you could avoid these sections, but there were those times where you just wanted to get past that one fucking section, but you kept dying and dying and dying...

The following is a video of a guy (with an amazingly humorous accent too) who can't get past this one particular part. On top of the screen, it says it's World 1-2, which it clearly isn't. That's a bit odd, and so is the time counter, but anyway... The video is long (over 11 minutes), but I didn't really get bored watching it, having gone through these exact same feelings before.

Also, I love the counter showing how many lives he has left. It's those symbols that you get after you get hundreds of 1-Ups in World 3-1 at the end when you repeatedly jump on the turtle coming down the steps right before the flagpole at the end of the board.

Here are my favorite quotes of frustration in this clip:

"This is fucking worse than anything that's ever happened. This is a fucking horsecock in a tiny mouth."

"I hate everything that has ever existed. Everything."

"Fuck."

"Who builds a castle like this, with no floor? Who builds a castle like this with fuckin' bouncy things and a fuckin' turtle that can only go like a fuckin' foot and walk backwards next to a flame stick. Who builds...FUCK YOU!"
