The best thing you'll see today: Mario theme played with RC car and bottles

by Justin McElroy { Apr 15th 2008 at 3:00PM }

We think the title pretty much speaks for itself, but in case it doesn't: It's the theme from Super Mario Bros., played with an RC car and what appear to be wine bottles. Also: It's an incredible, moving tribute to the power of being really, really bored.

We really don't have anything to add here that's in any way going to be approaching the coolness, the radical-osity of this video. So please, watch and enjoy.

[Thanks, Jonah]

That was awesome until my ears blew the hell out at around 55 seconds in. Gahhhhhh

ummmm.... wow?

I took a dump a little while ago and it too sounded like theme song from SMB.... these bathrooms really have a wonderful resonance.

Sounds like somebody has a serious case of bunny poop.

I wish i had this kind of spare time and creativity.

I just wish I had this much spare time.

Just getting the right amount of water in the bottles must have taken 4ever.

Frak, that is cool and incredibly stupid at the same time.

Nate @ Apr 15th 2008 3:20PM

Pretty easy since there's probably only like 8 notes. If you have the actual score to the music, it would be fairly trivial once you figured out "3 ounces = G" etc.

But very inventive and cool, nonetheless.

Metayoshi @ Apr 15th 2008 3:38PM

@ Nate

The melody actually has a lot of accidentals and spans around 2 octaves, so, no... 8 notes won't cut it.

That cop was like "I remember when I used to be that bored"

driven2sin @ Apr 15th 2008 4:14PM

um he looked like he was even more bored

Geist @ Apr 15th 2008 5:31PM

He looks more like "wtf are these damn kids doing?"

Ben @ Apr 15th 2008 3:15PM

awesome!

klitorisaurus @ Apr 15th 2008 3:21PM

what an alcoholic!

Faar @ Apr 15th 2008 3:25PM

I'd ask, "why?"...but then I realized that'd be superflous. :P

Best thing I've seen today.

What I'm really hoping to see is news of a certain robot's head being found in the desert of New Mexico.

Benny @ Apr 15th 2008 3:32PM

That was really cool. Now do Halo!

michas_pi @ Apr 15th 2008 3:33PM

This is awesome.

Shad3Wolf @ Apr 15th 2008 3:36PM

Spectaculous!

Shagittarius @ Apr 15th 2008 3:36PM

That man has no life. No Life. None.

mike @ Apr 15th 2008 3:53PM

he has a life, probably more so then you. Life is about enjoying ones self on the way through it, and he appears to be doing that. A great life indeed I would say.

Jansperus @ Apr 15th 2008 5:09PM

Indeed. I mean, he should be doing something productive that actually benefits the world in some way, like PLAY VIDEO GAMES! Am I right?
Anyway, I'm going to have a life and stare in front of a TV and press buttons on a control pad for a few hours. God, I'm SO COOL!

Darayz @ Apr 15th 2008 3:42PM

And at the end, the cop arrests them all ... Don't drink and drive kids.

John @ Apr 15th 2008 3:43PM

That's pretty sweet

JohnHeist @ Apr 15th 2008 4:00PM

that was AWESOME

A nintendo fan? living in the past?

There was a guy on Letterman over the summer that did something similar.

He was on roller-blades, and played Pachelbel's Canon in D.

I think that's what it was, anyway. It might have been something from Carmen, now that I think of it.
