To Catch A Predator targets ... Mario?

by Justin McElroy on Sep 10th 2008 9:20AM

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?

nope.

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

how the hell could u laugh at that? that sucked...this is much better

That was gay.

Horrible.

So, how do I go about getting that two minutes of my life back?

Baby Peach is gonna need therapy when she gets older.

Obviously it failed.

After all, even with all the riches she must have as a princess, she grew up to be a nude model.

Her kinks are likely due to Bowser's influence.

Could be funnier, but is worth it for the brief moment with "Naked" Snake at the end.

Needs moar Captain Lou Albano

That was awful, talent doesn't run in all branches of the Hansen family :(

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.

That was pretty good!

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."

its not very good until the very end.

eh not really funny at all except for that Snake part at the end. i did smirk at that lol.

I got a chuckle out of the sound effects and the racoon suit, that was about it.

thats not chris hansen thats Mr. ESC of joystiq fame.

Mr.ESC is no more.But his spirit(his Ghost!?) lives on through our comments!

Didn't the ghost get exorcised, though, for spamming REZ all day yesterday?

He'll be back. A person with 5000 posts, CAN'T JUST LEAVE!

What did he do to get banned?

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.

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?

The raccoon tail was funny and the snake part. Not bad. Can't go wrong with a "to catch a predator" jokes.

Why is Niko wearing those weird clothes?

Yeah, these didn't stop being funny ages ago or anything.

That wasnt as funny as I wanted it to be. So much potential.

lmao tha was funni

I LOLed at Snake's entrance.

Where's Mr.ESC? He'd get a kick outta this.

Have a seat... go ahead, have a seat. What are you doing here?

what did he do to get banned?
