It's the moment that every decent man that brings pizza and Smirnoff Ice to the home of a teenage girl he met on the internet just so he can actually have a legitimate, heartfelt discussion with her about her hopes and dreams is afraid of: Opening the door to find
Dateline's Chris Hansen, gathering up the wicked in his giant, ratings-grabbing
To Catch a Predator net. Most of the guys you see on
TCAP look like ... well, child predators, so you can imagine our shock to find Mario Mario in Hansen's (brother's) clutches.
The account of what happened (which you can find after the break) has been on the net for a while, but has yet to reach this kind of fervent popularity we as internet taste mavens think it deserves. We've now officially done our part.

I LOL'd!
How about you?
deaftly @ Sep 10th 2008 9:49AM
nope.
Haggard (Free Mr.ESC!) @ Sep 10th 2008 11:00AM
Only at the end.
I think for the attempted escape of Mario part, they should have had him running along a 2D sidescroller type thing
SimbaDogg @ Sep 10th 2008 9:03PM

That was gay.
phobic99 @ Sep 10th 2008 9:35AM
Horrible.
Farseer (GDI) @ Sep 10th 2008 9:44AM
So, how do I go about getting that two minutes of my life back?
samfish @ Sep 10th 2008 9:44AM
Baby Peach is gonna need therapy when she gets older.
Hyams @ Sep 10th 2008 9:51AM
Obviously it failed.
After all, even with all the riches she must have as a princess, she grew up to be a nude model.
Zertoss @ Sep 10th 2008 10:18AM
Her kinks are likely due to Bowser's influence.
joe @ Sep 10th 2008 9:50AM
Could be funnier, but is worth it for the brief moment with "Naked" Snake at the end.
deaftly @ Sep 10th 2008 9:50AM
Needs moar Captain Lou Albano
Superstar90 @ Sep 10th 2008 9:55AM
That was awful, talent doesn't run in all branches of the Hansen family :(
j.howlett @ Sep 10th 2008 9:55AM
can't view the flash from here but i'm not liking the idea of mario as a child predator. this also reminds me of the only rwason i like see mr. esc post, his chris hansen avatar.
joevill @ Sep 10th 2008 9:57AM
That was pretty good!
DarkNessBear @ Sep 10th 2008 11:41PM
Wow, everyone really hated that? I thought it was pretty funny. I always thought it would be awesome to get on catch a predator for telling the girl, "I want to come over so we can play with my wii."
Daniel @ Sep 10th 2008 10:08AM
its not very good until the very end.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ Sep 10th 2008 10:22AM
eh not really funny at all except for that Snake part at the end. i did smirk at that lol.
DCBlack @ Sep 10th 2008 10:24AM
I got a chuckle out of the sound effects and the racoon suit, that was about it.
juju187 @ Sep 10th 2008 10:38AM
thats not chris hansen thats Mr. ESC of joystiq fame.
Jakka(Free Mr.ESC!) @ Sep 10th 2008 12:19PM
Mr.ESC is no more.But his spirit(his Ghost!?) lives on through our comments!
Mr Khan @ Sep 10th 2008 12:31PM
Didn't the ghost get exorcised, though, for spamming REZ all day yesterday?
Jakka(Free Mr.ESC!) @ Sep 10th 2008 1:01PM
He'll be back. A person with 5000 posts, CAN'T JUST LEAVE!
Raikage (GOLDEN Gun Of The Patriots) @ Sep 10th 2008 1:18PM
What did he do to get banned?
Vanilla Mummy @ Sep 10th 2008 10:41AM
The Raccoon suite and beaker were the only good part, and it did get a chuckle out of me.
The rest though was pretty awful.
Van Faulk @ Sep 10th 2008 11:13AM
Mario AND benny Hill? Awesomeness defined. The skit could have been better though. Where were the cracks about mario using the mushroom to get bigger?
knowthyself @ Sep 10th 2008 11:55AM
The raccoon tail was funny and the snake part. Not bad. Can't go wrong with a "to catch a predator" jokes.
jhrf89 @ Sep 10th 2008 12:34PM
Why is Niko wearing those weird clothes?
Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Sep 10th 2008 12:49PM
Yeah, these didn't stop being funny ages ago or anything.
Easo @ Sep 10th 2008 1:40PM
That wasnt as funny as I wanted it to be. So much potential.
Kilo720 @ Sep 10th 2008 1:56PM
lmao tha was funni
F1 @ Sep 10th 2008 2:21PM
I LOLed at Snake's entrance.
Microswirl (MKWii:1676- 4270-3674) @ Sep 10th 2008 2:35PM
Where's Mr.ESC? He'd get a kick outta this.
Have a seat... go ahead, have a seat. What are you doing here?
Arturo @ Sep 10th 2008 3:56PM
