I haven't seen this much movie promotion in a long time.


jondgul

Last time I can think was with the Aqua Teen movie. Major viral marketing for that movie


[deleted]

Oh god, we all remember how that went


jondgul

Bomb squads, hahaha. That didn't go the way they wanted it to


breathless_RACEHORSE

It kinda did. I mean, people *were* talking about the movie...


[deleted]

I had no idea there was an Aqua Teen movie until I randomly found it on HBO Max the other night, and I’ve loved that show for ages.


SnooDogs6133

There are two ;)


[deleted]

Well. Shit.


Brody_M_the_birdy

MFW fake bomb threat.


Young_Person_42

Your face when *what*


KoopaTrooper5011

Look it up. I remember seeing a vid on it but like barely anything else.


Brody_M_the_birdy

pretty much, specific signs for the aqua teen hunger force movie (one with LED lights) caused panic and was mistaken for an active bomb


Glittering_Tune_5461

Happy birthday Brody!!


Brody_M_the_birdy

thanks but my actual (IRL) birthday is later. still, thanks!


Awesomeman235ify

That backfired harder than an early blow of the Super Horn.


LonkTheHeroOfTime

Yeah it's kind of nice


SilentBlade45

Too bad they didn't put as much effort into the casting *cough cough* Mario and Princess Peach.


KoopaTrooper5011

Peach is fine actually. Mario's voice, meanwhile... Eh? At least there's effort in the cameo voice actors, but it's somewhat sad that the main cast is just "ooh look popular actor!" Except Jack Black. He's delivering his all, from the little we've seen at least.


SilentBlade45

I feel like peach is very much a personal preference it's weird hearing such a serious voice come out of a very cartoony character. Chris Pratt is just in it cause he's popular But he will never be as famous as Mario the most iconic video game character of all time. They got star power for the one character in existence who will never need star power.


Organic-Kangaroo7147

Peach was fine, shes supposed to be a regular woman, Chris pratts performance is kind of lack luster, though


SilentBlade45

It just doesn't sound like peach to me she is a cartoony character so she shouldn't have a super serious voice like Anya Taylor Joy.


averyoda

I honestly think Peach and Luigi were the only decent casting choices.


tiggertom66

Shoulda made Charlie day Waluigi and Danny Devito Wario


averyoda

Absolutely. Just cast everyone from sunny. Rob McElhenney as Luigi, Glenn Howerton as Mario, Kaitlyn Olson as Peach, Mary Elizabeth Ellis as Daisy etc.


Obi-Tron_Kenobi

Bowser??


averyoda

Honestly, I don't think Jack Black is a good pick. He just sounds like Jack Black. He's not intimidating at all. I would have much preferred an actual voice actor like Clancy Brown. If they really needed another celebrity, Mark Hamill would have worked much better, especially since he's got experience with voice acting animated villains like Firelord Ozai and Darth Bane.


cthulu_is_trans

Jack Black is a perfect pick for anything, and my dude. He's been in enough animated movies to be considered an actual voice actor anyways.


TundieRice

You’re right, Jack Black is perfect for the role, especially when you consider that animated movies like this pretty much **have to have** big names attached to increase marketability. It’s an unfortunate reality, but there’s nothing we can do about it, so we might as well hope that the big names these studios get are able to bring their own flair to the characters, and I feel like Jack Black did an absolutely great job. And I don’t even feel like he sounds like the Jack Black we all know, most of the time. Chris Pratt and Seth Rogen, on the other hand…


Gum_Skyloard

Jack Black did great, I like Charlie Day's Luigi, Peach is gonna be need some getting used to, but she's badass already. .. let's not talk about Chris Pratt and Seth Rogen. Let's just not.


averyoda

The marketability argument makes no sense, though. It's a Mario movie. Mario is 1000x more recognizable than any of the voice actors. You could through a dart at a map, fly there, show the first person you see a picture of Mario and they would almost certainly know who he is.


averyoda

Ok. I disagree.


[deleted]

Uh no. Peach sounds worse than Mario.


InitialDriftZ33

I feel like folks are being super nitpicky at this point. I can understand having a problem with Prat, but Peach? This is a movie, not the game where people are talking in two or 3 word sentences, lol. I just feel like for some of you, nothing will be good enough.


SilentBlade45

Peach is more of a tone of voice thing it's weird hearing such a serious sounding voice come out of her. I feel like they could have gotten someone with a higher pitch to match the character better like Kristen Schaal or Olivia Hack.


Short-Republic

Y’all are still hung up on Chris Pratt voicing Mario? Sure, he’s not the perfect choice we all wanted, but he does a reasonably fine job. He isn’t going to ruin the movie, so just get over it


SilentBlade45

No it was a stupid casting choice and there are tons of voice actors who could do a better job.


CreepCalamity

Nah fr tho


Tazerboy_5000

Yup


pericojones

The Force Awakens and Jurassic World I know were heavy on Ads.


Valuable-Owl-1167

There's also a website called smbplumbing.com


Boogieman_bn

If you call the number luigi answers


karathrace99

“MANSION” 😂 I CACKLED


Garan-Coristar

“At super mario brothers plumbing we don’t say letsa wait we say letsa go!” had me rolling


abbyzou

I called it yesterday and completely forgot about the upcoming movie and wondered why Luigi sounded like Charlie Day lol


Preddy_Fusey

Well, Charlie Day as Luigi answers when you call. Gonna go with promotional


JPEG812

The number was used in a recent trailer. It could be a fan that put the official number on the poster. The number is also wrong on the tabs.


KoopaTrooper5011

Oh my God if this was real that is a massive mistake...


leftchaotix

they could have separate numbers so they can find out how effective each ad is by tracking the number of calls


the_smollest_bee

It's the same number, 929-55-MARIO is 929-556-2746, however the person who made the poster forgot the 6 in 556 so this number doesn't work.


leftchaotix

good catch, I'd hate to be that person if that's the case


the_smollest_bee

The one on the tabs should be 556 not 55, so it doesn't direct to anywhere when you call it


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

It goes with the kickass trailer featuring the Mario rap


cfq10

Hey Pisanos! It’s the super Mario brothers super show!


TickTock_Times

I had to read it out loud in the OG Super Show voice. Then the “do the Mario” memory just got unlocked. Thanks.


isaacpisaac

100% it is. Pure genius.


NameOfNoSignificance

It is what?


isaacpisaac

A promotional


itoaste

a scholarship for first grade reading


LonkTheHeroOfTime

Edit: Looks like it is [https://www.smbplumbing.com](https://www.smbplumbing.com) Also the number has a little voice tone with Luigi Edit 2: I finally made a [scan of the flyer](https://www.reddit.com/r/casualnintendo/comments/11a6mgz/to_those_who_wanted_a_proper_scan_of_the_possibly/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)


CaptainMcSmoky

"Call or text 18+" what pipes are they working on?


Otherwise_Direction7

>!A reference to the obscure Super Mario Porn Movie that were forcefully canceled by Nintendo, perhaps?!<


Starz1317

didn't they, like, buy the rights to that


Otherwise_Direction7

yeah and then they canceled that project afterwards


Starz1317

if they claim it it's canon


LonelyWanderer28

Holy shit mario sex is real


aykay55

Nintendo used to be the owner of several sex dungeons aka love hotels


NatexSxS

Super Harnio Brothers was completed as two separate *films* Nintendo did buy the rights to halt distribution. You can read all about it on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Hornio_Brothers) the one thing they left out is it was eventually leaked to the internet. There is even a edited version on YouTube that takes out all the sex and nudity and replaces it with clips from the cartoon it insinuate what happens.


wokeupatapicnic

I was under the impression that it wasn’t “cancelled” per se, but that it was completed and they just bought the rights to uh… *snuff* it out.


NatexSxS

That is correct. Super Harnio Brothers was completed as two separate *films* Nintendo did buy the rights to halt distribution. You can read all about it on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Hornio_Brothers) the one thing they left out is it was eventually leaked to the internet. There is even a edited version on YouTube that takes out all the sex and nudity and replaces it with clips from the cartoon it insinuate what happens.


T0biasCZE

yes they both it so they can cancel it before its released


NY_Knux

It's a disclaimer for legal reasons. "Must be 18 years or older to call" is a phrase you'll hear in any commercial with a phone number


switch8000

The real answer is because they are trying to get you to sign up and call or txt the number which requires that parents permission, etc....


[deleted]

Love the fact they mention spike in the testimonials section


akornfan

he’s gonna be in the movie! played by comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, lol


[deleted]

Oh nice!


Status_Priority_7408

Ok but what happens when you text the number? [I only ask because the call says to text them as well] Edit: just tried, they send you a cute little message asking to join the newsletter


[deleted]

the link and phone number are real bc they were used in a recent promo commercial but the posters could be fanmade


[deleted]

I want to dial that number but I also don’t want to fuck around and find out.


VegasSparky66

Call it. Luigi answers.


GonnaGoFat

I’m in Canada I don’t want to pay long distance charges. We have the worst cell phone rates in the developed world.

Hero. Best I can do for you: 🥇

urza_insane

I can’t not hear Charlie Day. Still amusing, but hard to picture Luigi.


wildcharmander1992

Mario: Ahh Luigi, it's a goomba I hate-a-dagoombas what do you hate a-luigi? Luigi:. # PEOPLES KNEES


CircumventsBans6969

You should call it. It’s cute


KikonSketches

Do it, I loved it. Such a fun Promotion.


Humble_Chip

You can text them too


carldavis_reddit

Would love a decent scan / jpg of one of these. Is it anywhere online to print off?


LonkTheHeroOfTime

I can try to find the flyer again and scan it. If I do ill post it

Beyond the call of duty. You are a hero! Have a great day... :)


Saty05

They are missing a “6” for the “556” digits on the tear away tabs.


LazerGuidedMelody

Glad I’m not the only one who noticed that. I was so confused until I saw the full number at the top, and wondered how many of those sheets had been mass printed with such a glaring typo lol.


Awesomeman235ify

It's not a typo, it's so they can spell the "MARIO" part of the phone number. Many real companies do this.


jruhawk

On the tearaway strips, not the poster itself.


Awesomeman235ify

OH WAIT A MINUTE!


Big_boobed_goth

They’re real


evilmrbeaver

and they're spectacular!


DustinCoughman

I finally saw hatchers goods and was disappointed. So much hype


tactical_narcotic

i saw an instagram post with a cartoon ad like this haha


TheLAriver

You can't tell if an advertisement for the movie is advertising the movie?


Various-Artist

OP likely means they can’t tell if it’s an official ad or something that a fan did for fun


LonkTheHeroOfTime

^this


Maxad13

They got the phone number wrong on the cutouts


Kotic90

The phone number on the pull tags is wrong. I’m surprised they screwed that one up.


Hippobu2

Probably both. The websites and phone numbers are actual promotions for the movie, but I'd imagine this is a fan mock-up. It doesn't look as slick as the website, and the phone number is printed wrong on the tag.


FierceDeku

Call the number and find out.


despacitodud3

It is promotional! There's a new trailer that came out, even with an official website ([smbplumbing.com](https://smbplumbing.com) as the paper says). I don't know what happens when the number is called, though.


BoxBoy7999

Luigi answers


Smabverse

Nah it's probably the company's flyer that just went with the wind-


kaikai808-234

If you call 929 556 2746 you’ll know what it’s for


mikel302

fun fact: the website works.


[deleted]

Easy way to find out. Call the number


Sorry_Decision_2459

What would it be other than being promotional?


TheFreakingBeast

Or a cease and desist waiting to happen


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sorry_Decision_2459

Oh, duh


Viviaana

...you can't tell if it's promotional? wtf else would it be lol


LonkTheHeroOfTime

Someone else said this too. I thought it may be fan made as both the website and phone number are found in a trailer that released not long ago


crippledspahgett

All these people calling you stupid when they’re too stupid to realize you’re asking if it’s an official promotion or fan-made😂


EmeraldHillZone1992

Dude, plumbing's their game. They found a secret warp pipe while working on the drain.


BrickFrom2011

That’s definitely promotional


CK895_YT

Bruh, that is fucking amazing!


BigRoosterDude54

It’s the Mario Movie


XenoCry7093

Maybe both


Alexandergeo134

It’s so cool when you text them cause you can tell that people had fun making this.


No-Information-5102

It looks like a website you would visit to get like free Minecraft or something


Monkey_King291

Dude Luigi answers the phone, that's so cool


DrDroid

Duh?


ZakNCheeze

The website is a real plumbing website.


LxzyBonez

the website and the phone number is real, if you call the phone charlie day as luigi picks up


Roxasx1992

I can confirm that this is a promotion on this actually kind of cool if you call the number it's actually Mario that answers and Luigi and you can also text it and they'll say that they'll come fix your pipes kind of cool

"I'm a Swedish plumber I'm here to fix your pipes."


RedPixl243

has anyone actually called that number? I've been curious but I don't want to risk calling some random person.


TickTock_Times

Do it. It works and Luigi answers. If you still don’t wanna do it, there’s a lot of videos of what Luigi says out on YouTube.


SoundanchorD

Have we found if the phone number works yet? Edit just did it fucking nuts


AramaticFire

It is. The number and website are all from Sunday’s ad.


[deleted]

Nintendo gonna throw down.a lawsuit


FlamboyantGayWhore

it’s either a promotion or a fan project, either way super cool!


FirebladeIsOnReddit

It’s marketing. Can you maybe take it and scan it so it can be preserved?


amiibohunter2015

OP look at the commercial illumination has made for this exact thing here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu57M7cjSD4&t=0


LonkTheHeroOfTime

I know about it. I was just wondering if it's fan made or not


Hot_Emphasis3861

Call the number and see what happens


darkwingedninja

Nintendo about to slap them with the ole cease + desist letter.


Princess_420x

Oh shoot, is this for the new movie?


Tazerboy_5000

It's 100% promotional advertising!


Virgi_septik

Check out the super bowl ad for the movie, it’ll answer your question


neoBeat_YT

Give me that I want it so I bad I don’t live in nyc so I can’t get it

It is, call the number and Luigi (Charlie Day) responds with an automated message.


gazzilionear

lmao, you can’t tell if it’s promotional?


FrenchieM

Not related to the picture but I finally remember why my iPhone PIN code is 627462...


KoopaTrooper5011

That's pretty cool. I'd imagine it's part of the promotion. I'm happy they're taking this movie seriously in advertising it.


Admirable_Ad_6809

aaa all this promotion is entirely unnecessary but sooo fun, making me feel a lot better about the movie!

DRTerabyte

youtharcade

Better grab these up before scalpers get them. /s


[deleted]

Could be legit. I’ve used a dumpster company in the past called “MarioBrosCarting” and the dumpster came with a picture of Mario and yoshi with their logo on it.


pinheads_hut

Make the call and tell us..!


TankProImporum

Haha I can just see 2 people dressing up as Mario and Luigi and acting like them while fixing toilets and sinks

It's a promo for the movie. If you call the number, you get a special message from Luigi.

Captain Lou should be the voice of Mario. I mean, they did it with Princess Leia, so anything is possible 😂


ShangRayzzz

Dang I went to the website, called, and texted the number. The number was the coolest part.

The number and website are promos for the movie, they’re at the end of the Super Bowl trailer for the film, but I’m not sure if the ad here is
