Funny / Hey! Pikmin

• Hey! Pikmin may be in an interesting area regarding the fanbase, but there's no denying it's treasure logs aren't a source of hilarity. In particular, the amiibo notes tend to be hilarious because Olimar is commenting on various Nintendo characters with near zero context. Some highlights include:
  • Him just trying to figure out just what the heck Yoshi is, especially how it makes little sense that he'd be born with a backplate and shoes.
  • Him mistaking the black border around Inkling eyes for Exhausted Eye Bags, causing him to believe that they're hardened war veterans and hoping they get a break soon. As anyone familiar with their home series is aware, the Inklings are perfectly okay with the sport.
  • Olimar's commentary on the purple male Inkling has him confusing the Inkling's own ink for poison just because it's purple, and suggesting he play with water instead. He's Right for the Wrong Reasons about the ink (it is poisonous... to everyone except that Inkling and his teammates), but replacing it with water would be a whole lot worse.
  • Becoming incredibly paranoid over his own amiibo over how someone on the planet already knows what he looks like.
  • He thinks the pikmin in the Pikmin amiibo are under a sort of spell and wonders if deciphering them will free them.
  • Can't figure out what Donkey Kong is but sympathizes with him because since he has a tie, that means he has an office job.
  • Gets wrapped up in the eternal mystery of whether or not the mushroom on Toad's head is a hat or part of his head.
  • Spends most of the Animal Crossing amiibo line unable to figure out if they're people or animals.
  • Upon only seeing her amiibo, Olimar claims Isabelle would be a better president at Hocotate Frieght than the current one.
  • After getting the Mr. Resetti amiibo, the S.S. Dolphin II starts talking with a Texan accent. Olimar considers the best course of action to fix this would be to reset it.
  • The Kicks amiibo has Olimar lament over how Kicks apparently has more going for him than he does. While wondering over what else he could possibly have over him, the ship chimes in with 'probably doesn't dwell on such trivial problems like this one." Olimar's response?
    Olimar: I think that's the worst I've ever been burned on a voyage. Where are the Red Pikmin when I need them?
  • Similarly, he also comments on what he thinks is on the NES cartridges he finds. He thinks Ice Climbers is a tale of violence and that Super Mario Bros is a tragedy and hopes the mustachioed man on the cover will have better luck in his next life.
