God I love this strip

[Kiarax]

Or you're just a dumb fuck and didn't understand that second banana = second fiddle.

[Norellicus]

Qal-

Kia- Its okay, you don't have to lie anymore

[Charismatic]

Norellicus is right this time.

[Kiarax]

I don't even think it's funny, but unless you know absolutely zero about Mario and you somehow miss "the joke" you're dumb as fuck.

Go ahead and explain how.
Defend your position using logic.

Second banana is a commonly used phrase. Even if you've never heard that and you've heard second fiddle you should be able to put two and two together and realize that is what it's referencing. If you've somehow never heard either of those then sure, go ahead and miss the joke.

karatex would never lie on the internet, please do not slander my bro in such a fashion.

Why should you be able to put two and two together to realize that's what it's referencing? That's what I'm asking.
That should have been immediately obvious... just like the joke.

Who said I didn't get it? I figured it was an in-joke to the strip since that initial observation (the very thing you're pointing out) isn't funny at all, but since it apparently isn't I was remarking on how terrible an attempt it is to begin with.

[Kyo]

Might want to cut it down on the math, you're gunna confuse some niggas.

Luigi is referred to as second fiddle all the God damn time.

[Kiarax]

Seriously even official games call him second fiddle all the time.

All the time you say?
I've played mario 1 2 3, world, and 64... I don't remember any such references.

[Qalbert]

because those are the only mario games

[Kiarax]

Try any of the ones with dialogue more than "PRINCESS IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE".

You're not seeing the point I'm making.
The point is, you should not expect everyone to have the same knowledge you have.
That's a problem today's youngsters doesn't seem to be able to get past.
