Web Animation / Super Mario Långben

"I realized something. You smell like ostrich. I'm not celebrating Christmas with you!"

Super Mario Långben: "I'm gonna blow up your boat!"

Myspersson: "Great! Then I'll help you out!"

Super Mario Långben ("Långben", meaning "long-leg", is the Swedish name for Goofy) was a series of Swedish web cartoons created by the team of Simonize and Woodgrove. In its essence, "Super Mario Långben" is a collection of defaced Disney comics with the speech bubbles altered to display insane, nonsensical dialogue, read out by a monotonous, text-to-voice program and set to droning synthesizer music. The Norwegian version of That Other Wiki sums it up, accurately:

"The plot is often illogical and lacking in meaning. Reoccurring themes are drugs and the characters comically misinterpreting picture details."

Even though most of the stories are about Goof.. we mean Super Mario Långben, other characters also show up, such as Myspersson ("Cozy-Person") and Mongo från yttre rymden ("The mongoloid from outer space").

I'M AFRAID OF EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD! AAH! TROPES!:

• Addled Addict: Supposedly, Super Mario Långben is always high on drugs. His internal monologue proves it has taken a rather large toll on his ability to reason correctly.
  Super Mario Långben: These dangerous pine trees will surely kill Cuddleperson's beautiful vulture.
• Bland-Name Product: What's Super Mario Långbens favorite drug? "Drugs".
• Comical Overreacting: Lots of this going on.
  Super Mario Långben: (throwing stuff out from a closet) "Today i feel like throwing a bunch of stuff around!"
  Myspersson: "Dammit, what a mess you're making!"
  Super Mario Långben: "SHUT UP! I don't give a FUCK about your opinion, you fucking geek!'''
• Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: All characters, but especially Mongo, deliver these liberally.
  The kidpunks: Give us money, you miserly bastard!
  Mongo: Shut your faces! Want me to shave off your sideburns, or what?
  —
  The kidpunks: We'll have to burn the last food. You're so fucking offline. Hope the social services nab you real fucking soon!
  Mongo: Be quiet! Or I'll impale you on the spark plugs and plant evidence supporting suicide!
• Hair-Trigger Temper: Like in the canonical Disney comics, Mongo (Donald) seems to explode in anger over the smallest matters.
  The kidpunks: We want a tank and 30 tons of dynamite! We're gonna steal your walking frame!
  Mongo: Okay, I'll get you that. Just be easy on the gear box.
  The kidpunks: Great! Can we borrow a tube of mayonnaise too?
  Mongo: BUT FUCKING GODDAMN MOTHER-IN-LAW CINNAMON ROLL! ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!
• Humor Dissonance
  Mailman: "Yo! Got any drugs left, you idiot?"
  Super Mario Långben: "Yes! I'll go get them from my ugly house!'''
  Mailman: "HAHA! Ugly house! YOU'RE SO FUNNY, SUPER MARIO LÅNGBEN!"
• The Stoner: Everyone is on drugs, apparently.
